just the other day which showed the population in the year 187752 years ago just when the citizens were enteirng into the status of a fully incorporated village to be 870 no doubt many of the 870 souls which comprised the village at thathime had dreams of seeing a population twice that size in a few years but the dream has not yet come true for after half a century we have only grown by a few hundred or to be exact about 30 per cent l in asking our correspondents and general news readers to send in or telephone any items of news about themselves or their neighbors we would remind you that the tribune sends papers all over western can ada to british columbia as well as to many states of the union to the soutli of us and the west indies we even have a subscriber in holland and all these

califor nia and were stopping for a short time at the dodge hotel the doct or got away just in time to escape tlie severe winter weather of the past week which would lead us to think that he had been reading the prognostication of the chatsworth sage who told all about the present cold snap away last july but no body believed him excepting the doctor until just now his friends in souifviile will be pleased to know that edw stover who was so severely burned in a fire which destroyed his home at iroquois falls early in november is recovering he left the hospital a lew days ago and is staying with a daughter in toronto his wife it will be recalled was fatally burned at the time and lived only a few days the strange part of it all is that while mr and mrs stover were unable to escape from the flames a great deal of their furniture was saved including the piano apparent ly no one seemed to think of the lives imperilled or else they did not know that the stovers were in the home the settlement is largely foreign messrs sam william and christie armstrong were in toronto on sat urday last attending the funeral of their sisterinlaw mrs thomas armstrong who passed away on thursday

improved the additional cost of operating these extra lights will only represent about one half the reduction given last spring by the hydro commission on street lamps we were granted a rebate of some 400 the lack of interest showing in municipal affairs is rery regrettable and a bad thing for any community we notice by those places which held their nomination last week for the early election date that in al most every place omy a mere hand ful of people attended the nomina tion and few there were who sought office the same situation is notice able in stouffville it is difficult to get capable

the continued demand for good dairy cows was again in evidence on friday last when a goodly number of farmers assembled fit ringwood for the hawtin cattle sale of 22 head of milkers the weather was very cold with a high wind which was enough to spoil many sales but nevertheless bidding was brisk and high prices wore secured with n fair average the top priced cow went to frank lawtin at 15250 while the 22 head averaged slightly over 118 tho continued demand from the united states for canadian milch cows is largely responsible for the high prices which give promise to remain so for some
