Mr." and Mrs, Sam ’ Alton, Mr. Charles Alton and Mr. Jim Henry attended the * funeral of the late Everett Henry of Flesherton, which was held in the United Church of Flesherton,. Thursday of last week. Mr. Henry, who was in niis forty­ fourth year, was a native of Ash­ field and grew to young manhood on . the farm now occupied by Mrs. Eas- enby. He, with his parents, M/. and Mrs/ Will Henry arid^ two sisters, Hazel andOlive, moved to Flesherton some twenty years ago. They, with his wife and two children, mourn 1 the loss of a loving1 husband and father, son and brother. Mr. Henry ...had his.._ knee injured a: ..short, time ago, later he developed pneumonia, from, which he appeared to be mak­ ing a good recovery, when death came suddenly Tuesday afternoon, due to a bloodclot. Much sympathy is felt in this neighborhood for Jhg bereaved family, . who , as members of Blake church ., and community, .were^held in high esteem. Ill 1914 Mr. Henry went with his parents to Flesherton from*where he* went overseas with the 147th, Grey .Battalion and received. «the' Mil-. itary Medal for bravery, at Pass ch en­ dale. • , " ' 7’Recovery Is Slow ’ ■« We regret to report that Miss Emma.

Because, the story went on to say, "He improperly atexhis egg. _ Did he smear his face v^ith it just for fun, . Or down his shirt front let it run, And forgot to say as he should have done, . - - . “Your pardon I beg?*’ How he ate the egg, it did not relate, His. employer thought the offence was great,. And no more hd would ask him to dine in state, At his lordly ball. . His etiquette was down at the1 heels, And though he. could' add up figures like reels, ■He could not.properly eat his meals, ..And spoiled' it all.

There was a time when a woman had the law On. her side when she went a-wooing in leap year. Per­ haps it is superfluous to mention it was a woman’s idea. , In 1288 when the good Margaret »f Norway ruled as Queen of Scot; land when she took-the wind out of oachelor saill by decreeing: “It is statut and ordaint that dur­ ing the rein of her \ maist blissit -megeSte, for ilk yeare khowne as ■ lepe year, ilk .maydden layde of both highearid lowe estait shall hae lib- erte to be^peke ye man she likesV albeit he refuses to taik .hir to be his. lawful wrfe, he shall be mulcted in ye sum ane pundi,S' or less ag his estate may be; except and Jawis gif , . he can unake ’..it appeare that he is |, beirothit ane ither woman he then shall be free.” There • are -no* statistics to reveal the number of Scots who surrend­ ered bachelorhood rather than “ane • pundis’t—which may have equalled .
