(By Ananimus) With stately mien and well turned phrasa The mayor held the crowd enthralled! Six noble councillors were there And various people, not appalled To spend the precious hours of day; For wisdom here with limpid fiow, Clear from this fount of erudition Into their minds instilled, you know! Amongst the divers people metâ€" Such is the gift heaven gives to some In linguial exuberance they excel The facile words so «moothly come! Thus spoke the mayor! A â€" word for each! The jestful greeting and merry quip. Appropriateness in every word, Each phrase right, without one slip! "My dearest friends, I‘m loth to say.â€" No. no, not that! you are my friends! But great displeasure‘s mine, for now We soon will part!

Ottawa‘ Journal:â€"The murder of a Renfrew girl in circumstances of coldâ€" blooded brutality probably was the work of a degenerate, a moral weakling. We think the Ontario Government should offer a substanritial reward for his apâ€" prehension. The police, we imay be very sure, are pursuing a most rigid investigation, but a reward might turn up important clues that would ai~€ them in their enquiries. This murderâ€" er must be caught. di '14 '-l;j‘ h‘nd wW. M. RITCHIE Ten years ago, Mr. H. C. Garner, superintendent oi the Timmins branch of the Government Employment Burâ€" ecau, was appointed for the work of issuing auiomobile drivers‘ licenses. These licenses, so far as The Advance could learn, were available to all reâ€" quiring them about the 18th August, 192‘%,. At a meeting of the council of the township of Whitney ten years ago, the tax rates for that year were struck. The rates figured out to 42 mills for school supporters of S No. 1, Whitâ€" ney, and 36 mills for supporters of S. S. No. 1 Tisdale. On a Saturday morning ten years ago the police were notified that there was a man lying by the sidewalk opâ€" posite 85 Fifth avenue either very 111 or dead. They made a hurried trip to the scene and found the body of a man who had been dead only a short time.. There was a cigarette still beâ€" tween his lips and though growing cold the body had not yet stiffened in death. Death was found to be due to heart trouble, apparently aggravated or inâ€" duced by exccessive Gdrinking. Evenâ€" tually through the coâ€"operation of a number of Finnish citizens a man was found to identify the dead man. The body proved to be that of a man from Hoyle. Mr. J. D. Brady, secretary of the Rod and Gun Club, received word ten years ago, that fifty cans of speckled treut were being consigned to Timmins for use in the rivers and lakes near here. Thirty cans were to be here durâ€" inv the week Aug. 8th to Aug. 13th, 1927, and the other twenty cans would arrive the following week. Both shipâ€" ments came from the Dominion Hatchâ€" eries at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. The thirteenth annual picnic of the Timmins and South Porcupine Oddfelâ€" lowsâ€" was held at Golden City, at the Hunter property, ten years ago. There was a large attendance and everybody had a fine time. The event was the sort of pleasant success that is now inâ€" separably associated with the idea of the OCdfellows‘ picnic. Ten years ago there was another autemobile accident on the South Porâ€" cupine road. Two cars collided, and Mrs. Harding, 21 Elm street, south, who was in one of the cars, had her left arm injured, though not seriously. A Timmins man WaAS arrested ten vyears ago at North Bay on his way south and held on a charge of highâ€" grading. Coming before the magistrate at North Bay, he was understood to have been desirous of having any trial there might be held at Timmins. Mr. Sol. Shankman"and Miss Sophia Levine were united in marriage at Toâ€" rento on August 9th, 1927. Both were very popular among the people of the Forcupine Camp, and after their marâ€" riage made their home in town. _ _ The death took place ten years ago at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. Jeffrey, of Mrs. Ellen Toner, widow of the late Capt. Philip Toner, aged i86 years. Ten years ago it was learned that ‘the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. had taken ‘over the plant and business of the Double Diamond Lumber Co., of Timâ€" mins. and that the Hawk Lake Lumber Co. would start up the plant here that | season and run it along until the limits ‘held by the Double Diamond Lumber lCo., were cleaned up. Ee Oe t b | Baseball fans were much interested ! in the event scheduled for a Wednesâ€" day afternoon ten years agoâ€"an atâ€" tractive doubleâ€"header in baseball. The lfirst game was between Cochrane Juniâ€" |ors and Timmins Juniors. The match | was delayed on account of the late arâ€" 'nval of the Cochrane team and only \five innings could be played. The icther match was versus Timâ€" mins. On account of rain only one inâ€" ,ning of this was played. Timmins Juniors won the five innings 15 to 12. Indications ten years ago were that the Ferguson highway was going to attract more then the ordinary motor tourist to the camp. In addition it appeared that means were:to be provid â€" ed for all kinds of visitors to come here |at very reasonable rates and conditions. It was proposed to operate a bus line from Toronto to Kirkland Lake and other northern points. The replay of the Ontario Cup serâ€" ies was played here ten years ago, after ! the postponement of the previous game. Quite a large crowd was on hand to witness this game, the weather which was dull and showery not affecting the ‘attendance. The game came to a close with Lake Shore the winners of Galâ€" lagher Cuo, the Ontario Cup repreâ€" sentatives of Northern Ontario, MciInâ€" trre losing to Lake Shore 5â€"9. Even ten yvears ago The Advance was warning those who handle explosives and urging parents to do their duty in guarding chilkdiren from accident or death through tampering with exploâ€" sives. inewspapers said, ten years ago I-t_ is a mean trick indeed that the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ved played on a North Bay man and his two triends at one of the tourist camps near Toronto. The story was to the effect that mean thieves paid a visit to Yorkâ€" Milis tourist camp in the early motning hours and piitered two tents, securing $61, two gold watches and two fountain pens. The occupants of one tent, Mr. and Mrs. H. Whitan, of North Bay, lost $42 and a. fountain pen, while the occupants of the other tent, two teachers, D. J. McKnight and W. E. White, of Tusgashke, Saskatchewan, lost $19, their two goldâ€"watches and a fountain pen. In both instances the thieves boldly entered the tent while the victims peacefully stept and carried off the three pairs of gentlemen‘s trousers The trousers were found in the bush the next morning, after havâ€" ing been thoroughly gone through by the robbers. Ten years ago the tax rate for the township of Tisdale was high, but all the controllable expenditures had been cut down. The general rate had been reduced from 19 to 15 mills, and other expenditures similarly under control of the township council had been kept well within the mark of good economy. Iroquois Falls lady golfers were the' guests of the Timmins Ladies‘ Golf Club ten years ago. The visitors lost to the Timmins ladies, being unused to the local course. At Swastika ‘ten years ago a couple known as Mr. and Mrs. Fidely were sentenced to three months hard labour without the option of a fine. charge was keeping liquor for sale. The woman gave her name as Mary Dinâ€", ardo, saying that she used â€" Fidely‘s name just because she lived with him. In The Advance ten years Ago:â€" "Mr. Victor Dorigo, of Detroit, is at present visiting Timmins and effort 18 being made to induce him to take up permanent residence here, it is underâ€" stood. Mr. Dorigo is an accordion playâ€" er of the most remarkable talent, and When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, make a careful note of the actual time and place and when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders. Here is what to do! A reckless driver who causes death or injury is a criminal â€"just as much of a criminal as a thief; for reckless driving is illegal. Cutting in, passing on hills, excessive speed, driving slowly in the centre of the road, and all the other breaches of safe driving are to cease. The appalling loss of life and frightful injuries caused by reckless driving in Ontario must stop ! Motorists have been requested to be courteous on the road, but the death toll still mounts at an alarming rate. Recklass drivers must be dealt with according to their deserts, and to the laws of this Province. Ontario has an internationally famous highway police force but they cannot be everyâ€" where. Most accidents occur out of sight of the police. We therefore ask with all sincerity for the coâ€"operation of publicâ€"spirited motorists to report to this Departâ€" ment instances of reckless driving. It is your duty to help check this wicked slaughter â€"deaths that could be avoided, and the maiming and crippling of healthy men, women and children. RECKLESS DR IVERS BEWARE! has greatly interested musicians who have heard him. "He can give organ and other effects on the accordion in a most gifted way," one of these musiâ€" cians remarked after hearing Mr. Doriâ€" go play at a social event here this week." The Church of Nativity was the scene of a preity wedding ten years ago when Ercelia Mamoliti, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mamoliti, Tisdale avenue, became the bride of Peter Baratto. The young bride looked charming in white georâ€" gette, with veil. She was attended by Miss Quinta Baldowin and Mrs. D. Guardo. The groom was assisted by D. Guardo and P. Tonin. Ten years ago at the meeting of the Tisdale council it was decided that the tax rate for year was to be 85 mills. The Ontario Department of Mines, ten years ago, was to survey the china clay field along the Mattagami, as a number of people in this North had great confidence in the wealth of the clay deposits along the Mattagami north of Cochrane. The regular meeting of the Women‘s Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion ten years ago was held in the McIntyre Reâ€" creation hall. A social evening followed the conclusion of the business when a very pleasant time was enjoyed in soâ€" cial intercourse, cards, etc. Mr. W. K. Lafliamme, who had been for some time at Timmins as district manager of the Metropolitan Life Co., was ten years ago, on his departure for Hull, Que., to take up the duties of his new position with the company, preâ€" sonted with a beautiful gold: watch by the members of the staff of that comâ€" pany in town to express their high reâ€" gard and appreciation of Mr. Laflamme. ~Local notés in The Advance ten years ago:â€""Mr. Gordon Black is on a two weeks‘ holiday in the south." ‘"Dr. G.
