Councillor Higgins, who was a member of the council at the time the road was built, stated that some relief should be given to the frontage holders on Main street who are paying for • the extra width of road, This extra width was put there to make the road better, not for the benefit of their property and as the road has been taken over by the government and county those paying a large percentage of the cost and also for their maintenance.

The average cost is 25 cents a copy, or three dol lars a year. Compare that with a worthwhile Canadian publication, combining a weekly newspaper cov ering the world’s news, a family ma gazine with few, if any, of the 25c. monthly magazines..can compare in supplying every member of the fam ily, old and young, with the very purest and cleanest literature, short and serial stories, and hundreds of other features that interest every member of the family, and an agri cultural journal vastly superior to any purely agricultural paper in this country. All these three are includ ed in one big 72 page paper, and sent every week, instead of every month, to the reader, at the small cost of one dollar a year for the 52 issues, instead- of three dollars for twelve.

Since that time neither has been heard of and recently facts concerning one of the greatest mysteries in the annals of the municipality came to light With the application by next of kin of Martha Penrice to have adminis tered her estate of approximately $900.00 on the presumption that she is dead. Old residents will recall how the entire countryside, was startled with the disappearance of 18-year-old Martha Penrice in the fall Of 1885 from the home of her sister, Ellen Garrod. Pretty and one of the most popular girls of her time, her disap pearance shrouded in a veil of mys tery has during the long intervening years remained a secret. From the very moment she left the sister’s house on a cold fall night not a single trace of her has ever been found, though in affidavits of merit filed by relatives with the courts, it is disclosed that heart-broken parents made futile attempts to lo cate heir.
