Big Field Day at Feversham, on July 7th. Watch for bills. Vol. 48 No: 3 Flesherton Ontario, June 20 1928 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprielor Big Fire at Eugenia MAXWBbL EUGENIA About 10:30 o'clock Saturday ni^ht a fire mysteriously appeared in Mr. ThfiH. Genoe's barn behind Mr. H. Korrester's house. It was not long bt-fori- the fiery fiend had devoured the barn. People from far and near wcrw summoned to the scene to try to extuinguish the blaze, but on ac- count of scarcity of ladders, and other conveniences the fire soon played havoc with Mr. Harry Forester's res- idence, which was soon a smouldering heap. Almost all of Mr. Forester's house furnishings were saved. The loss in both cases is partially cov- ered v^ith insurance. We extend our smypathy to Mr. and Mrs. For- ester in the loss of their home, but hope they may re-build again, and still be citizens of our village. Luck- ily the wind was not blowing in any other direction or else the fire might have proved more serious. Th{s vicinity certainly welcomed the long steady rain on Monday night. This wfll help the crops and gardens donsiderably; , they seemed to be at a standstill for want of rain. Mr. Stanley Campbell has purchas- ed a New Ford touring car from Mr. H. Dow^n, Flesherton. We wish him and his family much pleasure with it. In last week's items we mentioned Mr. Herb Haney as visitor at Mr. Robt. Haney's, btrt- we were mistak- en. It was Messrs Gordon, Joseph and Robt. Haney of Paisley that vis- ited with Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Haney instead. We are sorry to report Mrs. Wm. Pawcett's health impaired at present but hope she may be soon well again.

Miss Mildred John- ston has resigned her school here p-i'1 accepted Po-i Law school for "he next term at $1000. We are sorry to lose her, but wish her success, in her new' school. Two of our school trustees, Messrs. J. Campbell and W. Walker attended the trustees and ratepayers convent- ion at Chatsworth last week. We are very sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Robt. Graham, a highly respected resident on the Valley Road. We extend our sympathy to the sorrowing ones. Mrs. Hary Tate, and two children Donald and Jack of Hillsburg spent a few days last week with Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Pedlar. Mr. R. J. W. Johnston, Watkins dealer was in our vicinity on Mon- day.
