Timmins did not pay its Mayor or Councillors, but Tisdale did. The service given the town and townâ€" ship, respectively, suggested that payâ€" ment only seemed to attract an unâ€" desirable type to the municipal places. L " A "A _ 4ih One item in Tisdale‘s financial stateâ€" ment specially attracted the attenâ€" tion of The Advance. It is true that later Reeve Dickson explained that this item was a typographical error, but the people did not accept his exâ€" planation, to judge by the election reâ€" turns. Those living in Rochester or Moneta who remember the quantities of chloride of lime wasted at the muâ€" nicipal buildings at those places will be of the opinion that stronger °xâ€" planation was necessary. However, it may be of interest to reâ€"print what The Advance then said about this particular item â€"â€"‘"*As soon as a rateâ€" payer picks up one of the financial statements of the Township of Tisdale the first thing he smells is ‘‘Chloride of Lime, $969.27.‘‘ Then he begins to smell a rat. If the Township used nearly a thousand dollars‘ worth of chloride of lime during the year, no one need wonder if the succeeding generations imagine they find a chlorâ€" ide of lime mine in the hustling town ship. Timmins used only a little over a hundred dollars‘ worth of the chlorâ€" ide of lime during the year, but proâ€" bably more of the disinfectant is needed in municipal cireles in Tisdale"‘ This year of 1926, however, Tisdale can laugh at Timmins, and may even be kind enough to hand over any of that 1916 chloride of lime to Timmins | to use to keep down the noisome smell in the town‘s municipal cireles, caused by the oneâ€"time reeve and his 1926 band of abettors. Among the local items of interest in The Advance ten years ago may be noted the following:â€"‘A wreck on the T. N. 0. at Kelso delayed the train service on Saturday. The acciâ€" dent was caused by the breaking of an ‘axle ‘on one of the cars of a freight train. No one was hurt and no damage done, expect to the rollâ€" ing stock."‘ ‘‘It is now estimated that over one hundred tons of freight are being hauled over the Kirkland Tiake Troaud cach day."‘ !!Mr. I. E. Montgomery spent Christmas Day at Haileybury."‘ ‘*‘New Liskeard skatâ€" ing rink was formally opened on Dec. 26th."‘ ‘‘Cobalt gave a eivic recepâ€" tion to three returned soldiersâ€"Lieut. Wm,.

Johnston was elected by acclaâ€"| mation as Mayor of Matheson; the same for C. A. Byam, in New Lasâ€" keard; John Clarke, in Englehart.‘‘ * Among the acclamations Haileybury clected its councillors that way, and Mr. R. Leheup was one of the counâ€" cillors there.‘‘ ‘"A number of memâ€" bers of the 228th Battalion were home on leave to spend the holidays at theiur lhomes here, while several soldiers from other battalions, whose homes are in the North Land were similarly privileged.‘‘ ‘‘Mr,. James Boyd, is spending the Christmas season at Toâ€" ronto."" *‘ W. G.

We are in the south part of England, near the coast. One thing I like about it is that we can have a salt water bath every night, and then we can walk back to camp in our bare feet. The fields out here are still green (Nov. 25th.) and there no sign of winter.‘"‘ Clhristmas was observed in police court in Timmins ten years ago, there being only one case. ‘‘The one case tried,"‘ says The Advance, ‘* was one in which A. Desjardins was the comâ€" plainant, his complaint being that a gentleman named Cyr had threatened to kill him, perhaps murder him, and THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO S ht css U N* A A. 8. 8. lt C n coulp T / .983\ ie - also to take away his valuable life, as well as assassinate him and use him like the Huns used Belgium. Mr. John Nolan, night watechman at the Vipond, was attacked by a disgruntled former employee, and beaten up with a piece of pipe. Mr. Nolan had his arm broken and his head injured. _ His assailant was caught and turned over to the police, and later was committed for trial for assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Ciro Guinini, who comâ€" mitted the assault, had no grievance against the former fire chief. 1In fact he said he did not even know Mr. Nolan personally. He was however, upset over being discharged from his place on the staff, and also, perhaps, by drinking not wisely but too well. SANTA CLAUS BRINGS PRESENTS 10 CALECONIANS Children Have Hapyy Time on Christâ€" mas Eve at the Hollinger Reâ€" creation Hall. The annual Christmas Tree of the x Caledonian Society of Timmins was| held in the Hollinger Recreation hall i on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th, with a large attendance of happy youngsters. g Before the arrival of Santa Claus a programme of much interest was given ° by the children, this being continued i after the giving out ef the presents| e to the children. The numbers by the ‘ children were greatly enjoyed. . The Swond Dance, as presented in very|! effective way by Miss Margaret Geils, i in Highland garb, was a leading numâ€"| ber on the programme and delighted all. Another much apprectated dance ‘ was the perfect presentation of the| Spanish Dance by Miss Margaret Easâ€" 1 ton, this graceful number in approâ€"|| priate costume being very loudly apâ€"| plauded. _A solo by little Miss Marion H Twaddle was a pleasing selection very |. charmingly given by this little girl.| The whistling solo by Master Alfred | Lucas brought down the house and | an encore was enthusiastically insistâ€"| ed upon. The clever, tuneful whistâ€"| ling of this lad delighted all. _ His| little sister, Miss Rose Lucas, made an equal appeal to the gathering by her clever daneing of the iCharleston. | She was also very insistently encored. Her dancing of the Charleston was a} wrenuine treat, and those who previousâ€"| ly objected to this dance now agrec that as given by,. this little girl it is a regular treat. Miss Helen Chisholm danced the Sword Dance in perfect t nicht watchman fashion and delighted all with her grace and skil. Her dancing was one of the specially appreciated numbers on the programme. The arrival of Santa Claus was a his feature of the evening. The part was very cleverly taken by Mr. Geo. Ritchie, who distributed the presents, with an appropriate word or two for all. The costume was kindly loaned for the occasion by Marshallâ€"Eecleâ€" stone, Ltd., and Mr. Ritchie filled the costume and the role in very effective way. Each youngster received a bag of eandy and another present, these presents â€" including gloves, books, zames, dolls, toys, etc., all of unusuâ€" ally highâ€"class quality. The fine line oft pre mmmmmmmmmmmmmmammmmm ’nt'c;dvxd credit to the taste and talent of the ladies in charge. _ In fact everything about the children‘s part of the evening reflected the greatest credit upon all concerned. The committee of ladies looking after the Christmas event certainly excellâ€" ed themselves in the good work done, and special credit should be given the effective and generous efforts of Mrs. Elmer. The president, Mr. W. Shewâ€" an, conducted the meeting. _ Mustc was furnished by Messrs K. R. Johnâ€" ston and J. Bridges, who were later assisted by Messrs W. Morrison, H. MceCulloch, J. Ormston, Burton Holâ€" land and Geo. Hale.
