Much other useful work had been accomplished for the interests of horticulture in the town and district. There was a neat cash balance to the credit of the society, so all round it was demonstrated to be a good year. The attendance at the annual meetâ€" ing was largeâ€"much larger than usual â€"and the meeting proved a most interâ€" esting one. The reâ€"election of the preâ€" sident and secretary was a tribute of appreciaticn for the good work done by these officers in particular, the keen inâ€" terest taken by them for years now in the advancement of horticulture in Timmins and district. There was a suggestion that the secretary be paid a salary, even though a small one, as it was apparent that he did an unusual amount of work and spent a very large measure of time at the work of the soâ€" cilety.

She had never been in trouble of any kind. "They‘re under the impression that I sell beer but I don‘t." said she. "I‘m a widow and live with my sonâ€" inâ€"law and daughter. We go 50â€"50 on the rent and everything. I got a case of beer for Christmas and one for New Year‘s . . . I work, besides, too." She admitted she received Mother‘s Allowance from the Province of Onâ€" and seagching for liquor. A great deal of talking was done by people on both sides of the fence but in the end the police commmittee was left with power to deal with the complaints in the way it sees best. Toâ€"morrow afternoon the complainants will have ample opporâ€" tunity to "testify" before the police commitee and to bring any "witnesses" they wish. Timmins council yesterday set itseif up for half an hour or so as a sort of ccurt of inquiry. It didn‘t accomplish anything by the move, more than to embarrass a couple of people who arâ€" rived to make complaints against the police force. )1 premium Tibbomns ..
