BEAUTIFUL No. Ill ♦ It seems too bad that the season is passing away so rapidly that' we „ shall not have time to visit nearly '•all the splendid- gardens In our beautiful village and even.if we had it wpuld be impossible to find space for a fair description,.^! each. Even now some of these articles have been written at least 2 weeks before' the date of publication so that jf some of our readers visit these particulars gardens they Should not be disappointed in not finding them just as fresh and beau­ tiful as they were two weeks ago, TMs week we wish, to^call your attention to the great transforma­ tion Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harness have made in the appearance of the surroundings of their cozy home on William Street. They purchased this property ,a few\ years ago and at once appeared to have laid plans carefully. For example the boule­ vard was' very much lower than the sidewalk when they entered into possession of their home. Earth was .procured to fill thi^ and it took a large quantity. This new land was ' cultivated carefully for a[ year or two, then planted to flow'ers which were kept scrupulously clean of weeds. Then it was seeded out and a most beautiful grassy boulevard is the result. You had better see it. On the inner side or the sidewalk a fine border of flowers is seen, ar­ ranged without* crowding and yet close enough to indicate that this flower-loving couple are heart hun­ gry for the space to grow more and still more flowers. To mention a f ev^ of the flowers may not be out jMUlttce for here .are found Moon- HI^Brs, coreopsis,'gaillardias, mari­ golds, columbines, calliopsis, Japan­ ese anemone, 'Canterbury bells, sal- piglossis, red flax, balsam, a great display of cosmos, gladioli, etc. We also remember with jileasure Mrs. 'Harness told us that certain ones were old English plants. Doubtless tender memories stirred .within her as she mentioned it. However,, these are not all' the changes they made, some old trees and. shrubs were re­ moved ’ and a general clean-up of the garden followed' which is now very carefully planted and cultivat­ ed. It will pay the 'good people of th,e town to 'keep their eyes on this corner for many further improve­ ments in the years to come. Adjoining fthem on the Victoria Street c-orner lives Mr. and Mrs. John Andrew who have grown a pro­ fusion of flowerp for years.’ For years Mrs. Andrew lias grown flow­ ers at the intersection of the, two streets beyond the sidewalk and this year the lengthy boulevard stretch­ ing across the double lot is planted with flowers gnoiw(ing luxuriant-' ly. It is ‘worth seeing. Here are found such flowers as asters, four o’clocks, Zinnias, cosmos, French and African marigolds, gladioli,, balsams etc. and last but not. least is “Kiss me over the garden gate.” The young lady who told us flhls was very careful to add that she didn’t mean it" but if we were only young- . er we should have shown her thUt we believe she did or dt least ac­ cepted it as a challenge. . JySyirs. Andrew is a .great lover of rloWers and one has to rise very early in tile morning if one does see her working among them, believe that she ha-s the largest play of brown-eyed ^usans in village. v * not W-e dis­ til^ T . ■ “Here lies a lawyer and an hon­ est man,’* was the epitaph carved on the tombstone of a prominent attor­ ney. «. “Wai, I swan,said the old. timer, as he looked at it, (“I .wonder how they happened to bury two fellows in the same grave.” z Depression Prices!! —— V ’ on all kinds of lumber and shingles.

Love, of Zurich,, took place Satur­ day in Shelbourne United Church, Toronto. Palms and gladioli formed a pretty background for the cere­ mony,.. at which Rev. Dr, Richard Roberts officiated. <G. D. Atkinson presided at the organ, and during the signing of the ^register, Miss Marguerite Landall sang. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of eggshell -satin.

STRICKEN WHILE IN FIELDWORKING Thomas Marriott, of Blanshard, The funeral of life-long resident whose death occurred suddenly was held recently fjom his late residence lot nine, concession six, Blanshard, under the auspices of the L.O.L., 492, of which the deceased was a prominent conducted of Siloam, Woodham made in St. Marys Cemetery,' the pall-(bearers being Wesley Shier of member, The service was by Rev. D, D. Thompson a former' minister of the circuit. Interment was Woodham, Reuben Shier, of Kirktou Hiram Copeland, of Woodham, H. Berry, of Tjsborne, Robert Wiseman of Blanshard and William Sinclair of Woodham. Mr. Marriott who had been ap­ parently in his usual health was busy Saturday morning on his farm and at the time of his seizure was driv­ ing a tractor. About three mnutes before his illness he had been in conversation with his son, Robert, who was working in the same field, and when he saw there was some­ thing wrong he was at his father’s side immediately but the stricken man passed away before any assist­ ance could be given. Mr.' Marriott, who was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Amos Marriott of Blanshard wds born in that town­ ship sixty-nine years ago and had resided there all his life, gaining for himself many friends by whom he was loved and respected. He was a member of the United Church at Woodham.and of L.O.L. 492 of the same place. He took a prominent part in the Conservative organiza­ tion and was keenly interested in all community activities. He was married to Margaret Ann Creighton of St. Marys who sur­ vives him, as well as one son, Ro­ bert at home, and one daughter, Ruby, on the staff of the H, School in ** Blenheim. He is also survived by two brothers, George Marriott, of Sit. Marys and John Marriott, of Goderich and six sisters, Mrs. Jas.

A sister, Mrs. John Howard of Calgary predeceased him by three years. down and .JWE SUGGEST Would it not be a good thing to-amend the road laws so that thd farmer, who cuts the weeds in front of his holdings would be rewarded by a reduction in taxes, wjiile the farmer who fails --“to do a good job in this line should-'be/uiider the necessity of pay­ ing a substantial increase in taxes. And, by the way it would be good business on the part or municipalities to allow for a reduction in taxes to the farmer who reduces the weeds on the farm, premises to satisfactory minimum. *•*.**».»» ' * The Umpty Umps. have been having a big Agricultural Con- 5 ference' in Toronto.

The records show that in September 1832., Joseph Livesey, of Preston, England, drafted the first pledge of this sort, a pledge that he and five others signed. His and their action was timely and greatly needed, for grinding poverty as the consequence of liquor drinking was terribly ‘evident. Drunkenness was every­ where among students, among the rich and poor alike. Everywhere liquor was proving itself the enemy of everything good. Folk who talk of the good old days of moderate drinking and who sing the praises of the saints who drank themselvds into the Kingdom of Heaven, should beAronest enough to tell the whole truth about the times and circumstances they seek to glorify. And the time is again^ripe, very ripe, for a setting of the na­ tion’s face against alcoholic beverages, no matter by what innocent name they may be called or by what influential hand they may be b,tewed or by what gracious hostess they may be offered. True ' earnest folk have been disappointed by the effect of legislation in the interest of the control of the ravages of alcoholic beverages. It is also true that legislation has placed the mark of dishonour where it belongs. It is equally true that the nature of alcohol as a bev­ erage must be recognized and self knowledge and self control en­ couraged that the appbtite for this drug shall not be formed. In any case anyzstate is terribly in error when it does anything to make .it easy for any of its citizens to indulge an appetite whose influence isjjad and only bad. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Naturally foil are asking if the depression that set in in the late Autumn oL 1929 is passing away. A far better question is “Is the normalcy ushered in tn the autumn of 1029 settling down and likely to remain with us?” For it must be remembered that the years from 1914 onward, to 1929 were in commerce what jazz is in music. When looked at In perspective it will be noted that these jrears were times of excitement and hurry and noise with little progress, that had in it the elements of permanency. The baby beat the nurse, Parents were given the place after the canary and the .cat. It was time of the rule of the young, of the very young.-. It was the time of experimenting and anything was tried Experience Went by. the hoard. It was the day of the Wind. Human values were quite overlooked except in so far as they cduld be cashed in. Churches were required to be up'-to-date, with the minister’s value being appraised upon the basis of his. being able to raise the budget and to be a regular “fella” and a satisfactory mixer. ' ’ - t Well, the clock struck twelve,, in 1929 and folk now have- an opportunity to do ^some thinking. Some ate sitting on the wrong side of the gate, looking back to opportunities that were not seen or which were 'wilfully overlooked, but which have (bidden them a long and .lasting fafaweU. Still dthers»<afe filling the air with noisy ballyhoo about the “return” of good times while others are diligently listening to their ejnpty talk. Sensible folk however seeo in these days with their biting distress and bitter hours of disillusionment fair, average times wherein the man who is con­ servative in his, tastes but progressive in his aiihs may make a liv­ ing, and a little more, provided he works hard and exercises fair judgment. ?iso {^^jOur^Olcl ■ LAMP or LANTERN on a /nW £__1 *1*; 1 1 vhite brilliance.
