THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE WED., SEPTEMBER 21, 1932 . ) ur Relics of Early Days An envelope that v.ent the Rounds from Elarly Artemesia Postmaster Bellamy has an inter- • esting old envelope which leads to the study of something of the early nomenclature of this section of the provir.re. It is a dirty yellow in color, evidently handmade and some- what smaller than the standard busi- ness size of the present day, and beara on the face of it the words, "resist ered paid," and the address, "John W. Apmstrong, Clerk 5, Division •Court, "Proton" post otfice, C. W."- also a large "3" and the postmark, "NottawasafA station, r3b., 1858." •On the back there are three post- marks, these indicating the route of the mail, probably by stage. One read3, ColUngwood Harbor, Feb. 20," another "Owen Sound, 22nd Feb., 18- 58, C.W.," and the third "Chatsworth, Feb. 23, 1858, U.C." Nottawasaga station is now Stay- ner, while the word "harbor" was quietly dropped from Collingrwood this, despite the fact that the post office authorities had r.ot heard Partridge Broke Window Good Horse Races For FleshertoD Fair As soon as it was announced that there would be an open season for partridge that .toothsome bird im- mediately went crazy over the pros- pect and one of them flew into town and crashed through a large bedroom window in Mr. John Macdonald's resi- dence about daylight on Tuesday morning. Some of the children were sleeping in the room and they pro- ceeded to scream, thinking it was burglars, and wakened the household. Mrs. Macdonald captured the fool bird alive and placing it in a box will prob- ably crate feed it until the season opens, when it will be transformc| into "quail on toast."

The game? were played in Markdale on Wednes- day afternoon last, the day be:n? fine for the occasion. Ths first game of the afternoon was played between Flesherton and ; Thombury, boys teams. The Thorn- bury boys played good ball, and play- ed hard until the ladt. but the for- mer team came out ahead, by a rather ore-sided score. The Flesherton boys de:lared that the Thombury boy? ' were the best sports they had played agair.st this year. Immediately after the Thombury I gama, tho mixed teams of Owen Sound ; and Flesherton played a five inning game. It was a hard battle fought j ^y both sides, but the locals were a fraction the better team and came , out one run ahead, the scire being ^ 9-S. I?

Genoe pitched a wonderful , , game for Flesherton, while Ower. Sound's pitcher was rather wild a times. Neither team was abU to bring in a run in the first two innings, but in the third Fleshertor brought in 4. and when the rivals came to bat they brought in 3. The game at the end of the three innings had to be called on account of dark- ness. Owen Sound hated to see de- feat staring them in the face and tried to have the game protested by saying that 3 of the local players did not belong to the Y".P.S., but this would not hold water as they were regular attendants, so they had to gc peacefully home with the small eno of the 4-3 score.
