WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1923 THE FLKSHERTON ADVANCE I'NWEl.lOMi: C HIRCH-GOKRS Ini.-.tio(?e Church, which plans on celebrating its diamond jubilee this month, has had some unwelcome church-Rocrs in the past, in the form of a swarm of h»'es. The bees had an entry to their home at one of the window sills with a southern expos- ure. Two years ajro the honey-prath- erers made their home there; last year, ior some unaccountable reason, they went away, but this year they came bark attain, supposedly to help celebrate the diamond jubilee of the church. But the Inistiojre officials had other plans and decided that, even though there was concrete eviden. e that this was a land flowinjt with honey (and milk, too) the bees must be routed from the church. So Wilfred Gallajc- her's boys undertook to rid the church wall of these industrious insects by tearing off some boards of the inner wall. Mere was found a lar^o amount of honey in combs attached to tho studding and top. Hut tho bees did not (five up their winter's food and the fruit of their summer labors with- out a stiff fight, and all manner of sprays and e()uipnu'nt had to be brought into use before the Gallaghei boys were decla^red conquerors. The entrance hole from the outside has been blocked, but there are bees still Subscribe for your Daily and Farm Papers through The Advance W'e announce the followinfj; clubbing- arranpfements for .subscribers of the 'Advance' t(j receive tlicir home l>ai)er and any other.s they may desire for one yea"*.

Armstrong, with his wife and farn- '.ily, sailed fran Liistioge, Ireland, and after a year's sojourn in Toro-.to m'jved to Grey County and made a !;onie for themselves on the Toronto and Sydenham road, which had been surveyed the previous year, at tho |)lace which is known as Inistioge, now on Provincial Highway No. 10. The â- ountry was very sparsely .settled at that early date. In the first atlas of Canada we read the names, Snyder, MsQuay, Aeheson, Moore, Ludlow, Strain and Morrow, who had come before or about the same year as the Armstrong family. Religious services were then held in the home of Mr. Geo. Snyder, who was a land a.?ent living in the com- munity. Later he was the first iheriiff of Grey Co. and a member ol parliament before confederation. The Armstrongs were a religious family of the W).'sleyan Methodist denomination, and must have cleared the land and erected a little log church, just as soon as they got their home built, for there is an official record of the Proton Mission, locallj called the Armstrong church, in the year 1851. Rev. Joseph Hill was the pioneer minister and his parish com- prised Flesherton, Priceville and Dun- dalk. There followed him taking charge of all that territory Rev. Sam- uel Maudsley and Rev. Thos. Culbert. From the year 1855 until 1875 there were, besides the superintendent, two or three assistants. In 1875 this extensive circuit was divided into three â€" Flesherton, Dun- dalk, and Priceville. Inistioge belong- ed to the Dundalk circuit. The old church is supposed to bt the first church erected on the To- ronto and Sydenham road, as was also the Inistioge Post Office which, according to the new history of Grey, dates back to 1851. The mail at that time was packed at Collingwood and brought on horseback over a blazed trail. The late Goo. Armstrong wa? the first postmaster and after his death it reverted to his son, the late Henry Armstrong, who remained post- master as long as there was a post office there. In 1871-2 the present churcTi (wiiosc Diamond .lubilee we pvoailse to cel- ebrate in the near future) was built hy Jacob Sloan and sons of Eugenia. Much Volunteer labor was given. Rev C. E. Perry was the sTat:oned min- ister. Rev. Josiah Greene preached the dedication sermon. Tho choii at the church opening was led by Mr John Higginbotham. As there wa.'^ no organ the leader used a tuning fork. The late Mr. Mathcw Rich aidson was chairman. The late Mrs Geo. Armstrong presented to the now church the beautiful silver commun ion service, which is still in use. The late Mr. Henry .Armstrong gave the first bible for the pulpit. Twf.tty- five years later the church board changed the name of the church to Inistioge, tiie name of the post of- fice. The late Mr. Thos. McQuay was the first choir leader and Mrs. Ed- mund Williams the first organist. The following list of local preach ors testifies to tho spirituality of the pioneer church: Wesley Armstrong .Matthew Richardson, Joseph Strain, Sr., Thos. Hutchinson, Thos. McQuay and later Wm. Hames, Geo. Hutchin- son and John Hutchinson. -â€"A LIFELONG MEMBER. ^^It's lovely honey- how much do you ^vant?" Low evening rales on Station-to-Sla- tion calls begin 7.00 p.m. Still lower night rates at 8.30 p.m. AH her neighbors wonder how Ed. Baker's wife gets such good prices for her honey. But Mrs. Baker's secret is simple. She sells by Long Distance telephone. "It's lovely honey this summer," she telephones to the hotel in town. "Yes â€" I'll deliver by the end of the week." Long Distance is quick, easy to use â€" and profitable. KIMBERLEY Mrs. Brocn and daughter, Mrs Hann, and Kenneth of Detroit were guests at the Weber homu. Miss Ma.vine Lyons of Markdale was tho guest over the week end with her friend. Miss Jean Carruthcr.s. Miss Catherine Walter of Toron'o ,;V)cnt a week in Kimberley visiting friends.

Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Aber- cromL<ie in the death of her son, H. M. (Morley) of Vancouver. Death came on August 8, after 11 weeks of suffering, following an accident while repairing trolley wires. He fell from the platform, landing on his feet, breaking both heels and dislocating' four joints in his back, blood poison- ing set in on one foot, and the foot had to be amputated. Interment took place on August 11. Mrs. S. S. Burritt is also a sister and Mr. John Abcivrombie, a brother. The young people gathered at the home of Mr. and Mi-.^. Goo. Hutchin- son to spend the evening with Mrs. Earl Foster and presented her with a token of kind remembrance on the event of her recent marriage. Miss Ora Stafford of Toronto vis- ited with hor sisters. Misses Myrtle and Bessie at the parental j^ome for a few days. Miss Opal Weber and friends spent Simday at Niagara.

There has been a large decrease in Canada's revenue from the sale of liquor: which indicates that the de- pression has not overlooked any kind of business. 1932 IN THE STUD TROTTING STALLION William W.
