It gave the youngsters a good time, and it also prevented unâ€" necessary loss and annoyance to merâ€" chants and others. The understanding was that youngsters should enjoy the event and at its conclusion they shou‘d go home and consequently there would be no pranks played that night causâ€" ing damage or injury to property.

He had a couple of boittles of beer in his pockets, and his story was that he knew nothing about the clothing but had run because he saw the police and did not want to be caught with the beer in his pocket. He was charged with having liquor in a public place and was fined $109.00 and costs on this account. As he could not raise this amount he is still in jail.

Bruce Miller, of Matheson, was the unanimous choice to succeed Rev. J. D. Parks, now of North Bay, in the charge as minister of the church here. The presbytery will consider the call at the mecting next week and there is no doubt but that it will be approved and only some formal details will be necessâ€" ary before Rev. Mr. Miller will be able to take up his new duties as minister of the United Church at Timmins. It will be some time in December, howâ€" ever, before Rev. Mr. Miller will be able to come here as it will be necessary to find a successor for him at Matheson before he can leave there. Rev.

Likely==«* Take Up New Duties in December, Tuesday next, October 29th, will be tag day in Timmins for the Victorian QOrder of Nurses.The nursing service given here by the Victorian Order Nurses has been of great advantage to the community. The popularity of the service is fully proven by the constant demands upon the nurse of the Order in town. The V. O. N. give a nursing service that is within the reach of all. A moderate fee is charged but in cases where this is more than can be paid the rate is adjusted to suit the purse and where the patient is unable to pay at all service is given without cost. To maintain this type of service it is necessary, of course, that there should be voluntary financial support. Last year a tag day was held to furnish the required funds and the same plan is being used this year. Mrs. C. G. Kedâ€" die has been appointed convenor of the committee to look after the tagging, and has an active and abel group of workers to assist her. The V. O. N. will as usual do its part to make the tag day on Tuesday a success, and the rest will depend upon the public. Last year the response from the public was gratifyvâ€" ing and this year it is hoped to exceed the amount secured last year. The V. O,. N. needs funds to carry on its good work and there is little doubt but that T‘mmins, as usual, will make generous response for a worthy cause and ons well worth supporting.
