bids at an auction sale that was held
for taxes in that township on Mon
day. The sale consisted of live sto.ck
and while there was a fair crowd
present there was no competition
and all of the stock placed on the
auction block were knocked, down to
one individual, who did the bidding.
A fine team of Percherons, that
might well have brought over one
hundred dollars each were knocked
down at $5.00 each. Eight -cows,
some of them splendid milkers, all
went at the one price of $5.00 each.
Pigs weighing in the neighborhood
of 200 pounds brought from $1.00 to
$3.0'0 each. The auctioneer was H.

LUCAN BELL RINGS aLaIN DESTROYED BY FIRE
Lucan town bell is ringing again.
The Village Council, momentarily
overcome by a persistent demand
for economy, voted to discontinue
Lhe ringing of the bell, which for 60
years has called the people to labor
in the early hours of the morning
advised them their dinner was serv
ed and sent them home hungry to
supper. This drastic measure -sq
upset the citizens than az monster
petition was circulated the day fol
lowing that on which the order
came into effect. The 'council took
immediate action, with the result
the bell is ringing again, and will
no doubt continue to regulate the
lives of the people long after this
and other depressions are forgotten.
A garage on the farm of Mr. Earl
Mitchell, 2nd concession of Usborne
together with a Ford coach, a cutter
and a fine assortment of tools were
destroyed by fire recently. Mr. and
Mrs. Mitchell had been to Exeter in
the afternoon and about nine o’clock
in the evening they were startled to
find their garage on fire. A hurried
telephone call brought uio neighbors
to the scene and with the wind
carrying the flames toward the barn
it was feared that the barn might
also catch fire but the heroic efforts
ot the neighbors with fire apparatus
prevented the barn from catching.
.It is thought that the fire started
froim a short circuit in the. car.
On Wednesday of last week about
forty neighbors and friends of Mr.
James Broadfoot, of the boundary
formed a. bee and cut about 3 5 cords
of wood. This was a neighborly act
that was much appreciated. Mr.
Broadfoot who has been seriously
ill, is improving slowly.
