THE VOTE TO-MORROW To-morrow, the citizens of Flesii- ierton will vote on the by-law, pre- sented by the Vlllafre Council to con- firm the purchase as a town hall of the building; formerly known as Chalmer's Church. Tliat the villaKe needs a town hall no one denies. The quest ior is, "I? the price apreed on (Two thousand dollars) a fair one?" No one can deny that it is. The building is Eub- Stantial,, commodious, well built, ex- Tcedintrly well situated, and fitted to »erve the interests of the community in every respect. The auditorium supplies a hall second to none in pny town or villaKe in the county of Grey pnd there is ample room for the vill- age offices and public library. The building could not, in our opin- ion, be duplicated to-day for three times the price agreed upon, and jirc have ten years in which to pay for the hall and the annual instal- ments are such as can e;:.'=ily be met. This is the unanimous opinion of the Council. The electors will make no mistake In voting for the by-law. HARRY LAUDER'S FAR.M The idea prevails that anyone can be a farmer. Anyone can. of course. try to make a livinf fiom the snil. but it requires brains and persDnal oversight to make a farm pay. Harry Lauder; the 'Scottish singer who fairly coins money on the stage i both at home and abroad, has foutid out that an easy way to get rid of : bis caminKS as a songster and com- i edian is to carry on as a ir â- nllen'.an j fanner, and so he has retired from the land. He has sold the Scottish j estate of Glenb.-anter, Argyllshire, I and woef.illy remarked to n recent | gathering that he considers himself i lucky that he has been able to carry 1 off his leather leggings and a haunch j of venison as mementos of hi;; prow- I ess as a landlord. Harry could | scarcely have expected to add to his \ bawbees through his fan" prowear,. ! He engatrcd in reforestin.; schemes, but the ravenous black rook and red deer ate up his young trees; his over- seers stocked up with cxpensiv" pedi- greed Clydesdale horses when the coriect thing for the pastornl ranges were sturdy Highland ponies, nn(' ho j had placed on the estate costly milch cows, when there was little or no market for their yield. Is it any wonder that Harry declares he will â- now stick to his farewell tours, and 'Heave aleen" landlording in future.
