The chief contention of the Beamsville church is that it is nOW'W enough to support a minister who can give all of his time â€" to the work and be free from the other congregation, which chas not. it claims, paid its portion of the cost of the support of the pastor. The matter was disâ€" poseq of by the appointment of a committee consisting of Rev. D. R. Drummond, convenor: Rev. Dr. Fletcher, Sir Thomas Taylor and W. R. Leckie, who will visit the church and report back to the presbytery. ‘ FROM CLINTON At the meeting of the Hamilâ€" ton presbytery, which opened in the chapel of St. Paul‘s church, Hamilton, on Tuesday morning, an application was made by re presentatives of the Presbyteriâ€" an church at Beamsville, _ for separation from the Clinton church. The action of the Beams ville church was the cause of the trouble which has existed â€" for some _ time and> which was brought to a head iby the diffâ€" culties incidental to the recent call extended to the Rev. Mr. Campbell. ‘At the last meeting of. the presbytery it was hinted that the Beamsville congregaâ€" tion would ‘ask for â€"separation, and this morning the official do. cument arrived anq with it repre sentatives of the con'gregati'o'n§ in the persons of Senator Wm.

He offered them a home where they could spend the balance of their days and also a certain sum of money for their keep, providing they moved off the farm. The parents refused to accept that offer, with the result that Finbow asked them to leave the farm. They refused to do that, and he is now seeking to have the. farm de clared to be this sole property. | gressing smoothly until _ one year later, when Finbow was united in /marriage.

ARuction Sale Dates BEAMSVILLE CHURCH SEEKS â€" SEPARATION WINSLOW Cauliflower requires a rich soil and a temperature not much différent from that demanded by lettuce In one test, which was carried on at the Ohio Experiment Station, two small plots of cauliflower were grown in different places in the same greenhouse, the difference in the temperature at the two locations being several degrees. The cauliflower which grew where the temperature was the lowest headed while that which grew where the temperature was the highest, did not bhead. It would seem that the temâ€" perature can easily be kept too high for cauliflower, at least at the time of Among the vegetables which can be grown profitably under glass is cauliâ€" flower. It has not been grown extenâ€" sively, as compared with Lettuce and Cucumbers, but sufficiently to show that it can be grown with a fair profit commercially. (During a season in which Lettuce sells at low prices growers are willing, and many of them anxious, to plant at least a part of the area in their houses to some other crop, which gives promise of more profit than Lettuce. } ‘ CAULIFLOWER UNDER The Greatest Coat Bargains you ever saw.
