The latest addition to Mr. Wesley's collection are two Indian crest stones to denote family and standing of family in tribe, these stones are about a foot and a half long and date back 1500 to 2000 years. They were found this spring by a farmer near Samia. â€" Harriston Review. HERB NEIL^WRITES Floranada, Florida, April 19. Dear Editor and home friends,â€" I had intended writing earlier and from time to time through the winter, but this has been a trying winter on me, and only just the last little while have I felt well enough to take much interest in things about me. Florida has •been kind of sick this winter, too, but I hope we are both a little on the mend. The boom is over. Building was a little over- done and many good buildings, both finished and unfinished, are empty. Many of those who came during the two years of boom have gone again; some who came early are rich, many who c&me later will always remem- ber Florida for what they left here. Farming, along certain lines, was, before the boom, is now, and will be, the basic industry. This is said to have been the coldest winter here in eighteen years, and too dry for the best results on alt high land. There were also killing night frosts in Jan- uary, all the way down to the south end of the state. And yet, with both early and late crops, the farmers are making a little money. Those who came here for easy money have largely gone again, and the older residents are still doing business at the same old stand, little better or worse for the few months when they were reported to be rich. Hundreds of miles of sidewalk were built; streets asphalted some 66 feet wide; cement light posts s.et up and wired; all to sell the lots adjoining. Many of the lots were sold for sums that are hard now to credit â€" 20 per cent, or more paid down and held for spec- ulation. In many cases the owners are hard to find when tax time comes, and a worthless lot can only carry so much taxes, and when a town takes over 50 per cent, of the lots for taxes with no sales being made, things are bad for the other 50 per cent. The climate is here, and when those in charge of affairs forget all this stuff and start at the bottom, people will come here and make it a winter home. We are on the main trail, 30 miles north of Miami, where, on May 1, 2 and 3, the Shriners will hold their 54th annual convention. Never be- fore, I am informed, was this conven- tion held so far south. As this gath- ering represents the Mason.? of all North .\merica, it is expected that more than 10,000 cars will pass here going south in the last days of April. Special pullman trains have been chartered and all yardage in Miami engaged for parking the same. The winter weather in this coun- try is so reliable that one gets into the habit of making plans for to- morrow without thinking of the wea- going home by easy stages like the months that would put a Grey Co. road gang with Thomas Nichol for foreman off the job. Nothing worse than, brief showers, warm and with sunshine between, and very few of them. We were at the formal opening of the new deep water harbor of Bay Mabel, five miles from here, to be known as Port Everglades. This is to be the only deep water harbor south of Norfolk. Virginia, being 37 feet, and will take world ?hipping. Miami, Jacksonville, Palm Beach and others have only 25 feet and can only accommodate coastwise shipping. Native pineapples and blueberries are on the market here now. I have not picked any berries yet, but hope to before we leave. We think of leaving in the last days of .A.pril and ?oing home by easy stages like the other Canada geese do. Hope to write again. HERBERT J. NEILL.

SuSMIary of CANADlAff ISDVSTKIES UMITSD AN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE The Elmwood correspondent of the Chesley Enterprise says: One of our young men had an unique experience on Saturday. He mot- ored to Walkerton and on his re- turn as he neared Hanover found he could not turn on the liglits. He drove to Klate's garage and found the battery was missing. Kvidently the battery had fallen out and the car had run the remainder of the way to Hanover on its reputation a? a first-class Chevrolet. John bor- rowed a battery to get h^mo. It's great to have a car that has estab- lished such a record. WINE HAS A KICK The new regrulation prohibiting the sale of medicated wines by other than druggists is a move in the right dir- ection. A further improvement might be made by requiring medical prescription for its sale under any cir- cumstances. Thes« wines have a strength from 16 to 24 per cent, of proof spirits and it is not hard to get intoxicated on a bottle or less. In the last few days four new convictions for intoxication have been registered in the police court in CoUingwood and in each case the cause of the downfall of the individual was the consumption of so-caled medicated wine. â€" CoUingwood Enterprise.
