PUT ON FIRST DEGREE HERE Every Year Since Institution of Lodge Here Represented by Past Grand. Noteworthy Occasion at Oddâ€" fellows‘ Lodge on Friday Last. Friday evening last was a notable occasion for the Timmins Lodge of the Oddfellows, the occasion being the preâ€" sentation of the first degres by Past Grands of the Lodge. The work was presented in most effective way and delighted all the Oddfellows present. An odd fact about the evening was the fact that the degree team included Past Grands for each and every year in the history of the lodge from its instituâ€" tion in 1917. The following were those putting on the degree, the year in which each was in the Grand‘s chair being indicated after the name:â€" Past Grandâ€"Bro. W. G. Smith, 1918. Noble Grandâ€"Bro. M. Cavanagh, Vice 1925. Guardâ€"Bro. Geo. Lake, 1917. Supporterâ€"Bro. S. T. Walker, 1928. Supporterâ€"Bro. J. Kerr, 1918, (Suaâ€" bury). Supporterâ€"Bro. J. G. Harris, 1926. Ssupporterâ€"Bro. W. J.

M. Whyte, 1915. R. Secyâ€"Bro. A. G. Luxton, 1924. It may be interesting to note that the first Grand of Timmins Lodge was Bro. Geo. Lake, while Bro. W. M. Whyte was the first Grand of South Porcupine lodge. Among the visitors for the evening were Bros. Geo. Starlâ€" ing and McWilliams, of the South Porâ€" cupine lodge. s LC W a it ycE After the work of the Order, a banâ€" quet was enjoyed. Bro. W. Leck, Noble Grand was in the chair, and conductâ€" ed the proceedings with efficiency. A feature of the evening was an inspiring address on "Friendship," by Bro. W. M. Whyte. There were also very pleasâ€" ing addresses by Bros. W. H. Pritchard and W. G. Smith. Songs by Bros. Mcâ€" Hugh, J. Cowan and W. Elphick, and recitations by Bro. W. Lainsbury deâ€" lighted the gathering. The evening was an unusually pleasant one from beginning to end, and will be long reâ€" membered here in Oddfellow circles. THERE ARE MORE WAYS THAN JUST ONE OF KILLING A COW In looking through the fyles of The Advance for material for the column "Ten Years Ago in Timmins‘" the folâ€" lowing paragraph WASsâ€" encountered. Ten years ago it made quite a hit. At that time the hero 6f the paragraph did not object to the publicity given, but since that time he has become the serious head of a family, and so may view the use differently. Accordingly, the names have been changed but otherwise the item now is as it was:â€" Great doinzs are reported over at a certain mine last week when Friend John Brown (that was not the name) and a companion undertook to kill a cow and butcher it in a new and altoâ€" gether improved manner. "The comâ€" mon method of knocking a poor deâ€" fenceless beast upon the head," said Joh1, ‘"is mean and brutal. Then to hang up the senseless animal seems a hairch and unworthy act. Also, it takes sâ€"m> time and trsuble." So he proposâ€" ed an altozether movel me‘hod of exeâ€" cution and quartering,â€"one that would be romantic and alike to the bu:tcher and the butchered. His friend was not altogther convinced o‘ the grandeur of the scheme, not havâ€" ing the full spirit of the occasion. "With one strong, sure and swift stroke of the dagger I will rid the poor cow of the burden of this wicked work." said Friend John, as he flourished a murderousâ€"looking bread "Now for the fatal plunge!" he said as he stood in sentimental menace before the | silent cow who regarded him w.th mournful eyes. "Well," said his friend, "her blicod be upon your hsad, then!" It was. Also, upon his coat, his ears, his trousers, his collr and his bsots. "Showers of blessings," said Friendl Jchn, "and th»> cow is dead as Soquth | En4." However, he admits that the: rlan is a little messy; otherwise, he | would have it patented, so that t.hoz:'i next generation of butchers would \regular noble gladiators, instead of rough and callous regarding the death , I of cows and things. "I guess the old method of butchering will have to be! carried along until I can get my system perfected," says Friend Jchn, "and in | the meartime my advice to butchers: and other; is:â€"Hang up the cow, but. tie the bull outside."

The eviâ€" dence at the preliminary trial was to the effect that Mike Stroke met the accused on March 2nd on street in Coâ€" balt and Bisson said he was broke. Stroke took him out and bought supâ€" per for him and later took him to his room to spend the night. Stroke told the court he had put his money under the mattress and then had locked the door. Early Sunday morning Stroke said he woke up and looked for his money but it was gone. Bisson had got up and gone to the bathroom. Stroke followed him to the bathroom and accused him of taking the money. Bisson denied the charge and said all the money he had was whayStroke had given him the previous day, that was fifty cents. Stroke called the proprieâ€" tor who in turn called the police. ‘The police searched Bisson and found $60.00 on him Bisson said this was his own money that he had saved up. The wife ------ °* of the boarding house owner told the court that the previous day Bisson had told her he had only a quarter. â€" At Haileybury last week the case cam® up before a jury who convicted Bisson of Last March The Advance made reâ€" CHARLES MARCHAND AND THE HABITANT TROUBADOURS Famous singers in English and French of Canadian shanty songs, appearing for the first time in Timmins at the Seventh Annual Charity Turkey Stag, in St. Anthony‘s Parish Hall on Friday, December 20th, 1929 TIMMINS, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12th, 1929 Timmins, Cobalt Kirkland Lake, North Bay Rouyn, Sudbury, Belleville Toronto Uptown PRIVATE WIRES TO ALL OFFICES TIMMINS BRANCH PINE STREET NORTH Next Canadian Bank of Commerce STOCK BROKERS Bank of Hamilton Building Toronto Chrales Marchand Gifted Exponent of French Songs Charles Marchand, who will be at the Turkey Stag here on Dec. 20th with his Habitant Troubadours, has a wide reâ€" putation for his knowledge and talent in the interpreting of Canadian folk sonzs, both French and Speaking of Mr. Marchand in this reâ€" gard,The Calgary Daily Herald a couple of years ago made extended reference to an address by Mr. Marchand. In part, The Daily Herald said:â€" "At a recent address upon the subâ€" ject of Canadian composers given at the request of the Women‘s Canadian Club a strong wish had been expressed that the folk songs of French Canada !which supply a connecting link between ;the musical history of old France and iCanada of today should not only be preserved but more extensively reâ€" produced so that their intrinsic merit and their signifiance as forming a nuâ€" cleus for further musical development upon national lines should be more fully appreciated. As if in response to this appeal, but rather as the result of iinclividua.l aptitude of a clever perforâ€" mer interpreting the older province with the added inducement of a growâ€" the the‘t of the money from Stroke Bisson was sentenced to three months imprissnment for the theft.

The south ward gave the biggest majority for the continuance of that grant which has helped to build up in Renfrew one of the best town bands in Ontarioâ€"‘"the best by test." One could have expected the centre ward to take a lead for the band, since it is in the centre ward the bandstand is located. There are numerous homes in the centre ward from whose doorâ€" steps the weekly band"concerts of the summer season can be heard." ing interest in musical expression by proressive organizations throughout the Dominion, a feast of French Canâ€" adian folk songs was presented in Cenâ€" tral Church on Thursday night, under the auspices of the National Council of Education, by Charles Marchand, a popular exponent of characteristic songs. Mr. Marchand addressing mesâ€" dames et messieurs proceeded to reveal a natural gift of the facile humorist utterance. With the naivete, bonhomie and quaintness of gestures typical to the habitants, he combined subtilities and nuances that were particularly his own which instantly placed him en raport with the large audience." PHONES 499â€"500 JUDGE TO DEGIDE WHO MAYOR OF HAILEYBURY Case of Protest Mayoralty Election at H2ileybury to Come Before Judge Hartman the Middle of This Haileybury is in the middle of an exâ€" citing time in municipal election matâ€" ters. Two candidates were on the balâ€" lots for the mayoralty of the town. Both these candidates claim to be the rightful possesser of the mayoralty chair for 1930. The two candidates are W. Charbonneau, mayor for 1929, and Jos. A. Legris, a former mayor. Both have been suggesting that the other was disqualified. Legris says that as Mr. Charbonneau did not have his town taxes paid before nomination day he was not legally in position to qualify Taking this position, Legris issued cirâ€" culars saying that the election was his by acclamation and that he did notil intend to enter any battle as there was lawfully no contest possible. On the other hand, Mr. Charbonneau claims the election saying that Legris could not qualify having been in recipt of money from the town for work done and expecting more remuneration on this account. The election took place on Monday of last week, and W. Charâ€" bonneau received 341 votes as against 59 for Legris. Mayor Charbonneau says that this is surely enough majoriâ€" lawfully no con other hand, Mr the election say not qualify hav money from the and expecting this account. T not qualify having been in recipt of money from the town for work done and expecting more remuneration on this account. The election took place on Monday of last week, and W. Charâ€" bonneau received 341 votes as against 59 for Legris. Mayor Charbonneau says that this is surely enough majoriâ€" ty to show the opinion of the people of Haileybury. The next round in the battle over the mayoralty of Haileybury for 1930 will be fought before Jiuxige Hartman, probably about the middle of the presâ€" ent month. That there will be conâ€" test is indicated by the attitude of Maâ€" yor Wilfred Carbonneau, who has anâ€" nounced that he will contest the moâ€" tion to be made before his Honor on behalf of J. A. Legris, exâ€"mayor, and who is claiming that he is entitled to Mr. Legris duly carried out his proâ€" mise, made before the election, that he would take proceedings to have the mayor unseated if his Worship shou‘d be returned at the polls last Mon‘2y. Mayor Charbonneau carried the day with the electors, but it is asserted here that many of Mr. Legris‘ friends did not vote, following his own example, and that they were aware that further steps would follow. Subsequentl}, Mr. Legris formally instituted quo warrant> tion proceedings before the judge, claiming the seat and alleging that Mayor Charâ€" bonneau should be declared deposed on the ground that he could not legally qualify because of nonâ€"payment of taxes in time. Mayor Charbonneau has stated that while he has not yet taken legal adâ€" vice in the position in which he finds himself, he proposed to fight the matter before the court. It is probable that some Oobjection may be taken in the legal battle regarding the action of Mr. Legris in posting up in the various polling places, but outside the actual booths, of copies of his statement that he claimed the mayorality by acclamaâ€" tion, but Mr. Legris‘ friends contend this step was quite legal. It is likely the argument will come before Judge Hartman about December 16. DISMISSED HAILEYBURY JURY WHEN THEY DISAGREED A Haileybury depatch last week said: "A sessions jury here tonight failed to decide the fate of W. G. Nicholson, Kirkland Lake, accused of theft in conâ€" nection with a shortage of money due on a transaction of two men on return trip from Swastika to Liverâ€" pool. The jurors were discharged after their foreman had told Judge Hartman there was no hope of reaching any agreement. Nicholson, according to the evidence given, had sold tickets by train and Canadian Pacific Steamship to W. J. and E. C. Jones, two Welshâ€" men desirous of visiting the Old Land. The amount paid was $351.20 and of this Nicholson had remitted to the C. P.R. at North Bay only $40. While a commission of $24 was due himself on the sale, the balance, the court was told, was not paid over and it was alâ€" leged the money had been lost in a card game. "W. A. Gordon, K.C., appearing for the accused, said that undoubtedly the money was owing to somebody, but he argued that it was a "pure arrangeâ€" ment of debtor and creditor" between Nicholson and the C.P.R., who had apâ€" pointed him an agent at his request. "For the Crown, F. L. Smiley, KC., contended there was no question of a civil debt as the transaetion had been on a cash basis."
