Sacrificing for $130.00 We are also working out new plans, thinking of ways and means to get our Santa Claus Day, which will be on December 15th, on top asrain this year. I expecct to again donate prizes for the different kinds of cats, also dog rares, with some extra specials. This will give the children a chance to feed them up a bit and get them in shape for the 9how. We had 88 cats here last year. Let the parents co-operatib with us in going to a little extra trouble to see the children enjoy themselves by bringing their cats and dogs out and help us make our day away above that of last year. Yours for Service, Thos. W. Findlay Furniture Dealer -:- Funeral Director "DISTRIBUTOR OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT" The residence on the Jos. Hawken farm, 8th line, v.'as completely de- stroyed by fire on Saturday morning of last week. About 7 o'clock a.m., the fire was first noticed by some men going to work. Nothing could be done to extinguish the fire as it appeared that there were fires here and there throughout the whole in- terior, and it was only a matter of a few minutes before the whole house was a seething furnace of flames. This was a large old house of frame structure, well constructed of good timber and would have stood for many years yet. The contents in the house belonged to Mr. Jos. Hawk en, who .did not carry any insurance on them. We extend our sympathy to Mr. Hawken, as money can never replace many articles, which he priz- ed greatly, on account of them be- longing to his parents. There was some insurance on the house. The fire is a complete mystery, as no one had been living in the house. It is thought, however, that it was in- cendiary work. W. M. S. MEETING .The W. M. S. held their annual thankoffering meeting in the United Church here on October 18th, in the afternoon. There was a large num- ber of Flesherton ladies present. A good program, consisting of readings and singing was given, also a fine missionary play by the Flesherton ladies and was much enjoyed by all present. Miss Macmillan of Flesh- erton gave a brief talk on mission- ary work. The collection amounted to $16. At the close of thee meet- ing lunch was served. Little Arthur Proctor received a bad gash in his forehead one day last week, when he accidently fell on a stone. We hope the sore spot will soon be better Artie.

Williams visited in To- ronto the past week. Mrs. Johnston (nee Miss Delia Wilson) and babe have returned to their home in Keewatin, after an ex- tended visit with her mother here. Mr. Alex.
