al and tasty manner and the Sunday
school orchestra provided a pro-
gram of music during , the -supper
hour. At 8 o'clock sharp the busi-
ness meeting was called to order by
the pastor with devotional exercises
after which Dr. M. G. Graham was
elected -to the chair and filled that
position with great acceptance being
relieved at a later hour by Mr. J. A.
Stewart. The report of the finan-
cial condition of the congregation
was the best in many years, there
being a substantial surplus from the
general revenue. The missi nary
givings both of the Sunda;*'SchOol
and the church showed a consider-
able increase over last year and the
contributions even from .Tune last
exceeded the budget allotment by.
about $200. All the organizations
of the church reported great' vitality
in the work and a successful year
financially. Votes of appreciation
were recorded for the services of elfi-
n officials, but the one which
met with the heartiest reeeption was
that to Rev. J.arnes Foote, the min-
ister. There was no room for doubt
as to the loyalty and devotion of
Caven people to their popular pastor
as been the inspiration in
leadership in a year of service,
which has demonstrated that Caven
congregation can. still justify to a
marked degree its existence in this
community. The Board. of Manage-
ment elected to fill the yearly vacan-
cies were: Dr. Atkinson, Mr. Thos.
Pryde and Mr. W. H. Lockwood,
Dr. Kinsman and Mr. E. J. Christie
were elected auditors..

ANOTHER JACK RABBIT HUNT
The Elimville boys had planned a
jack rabbit drive for Tuesday of last
week but feared they would have
to postpone the event on account of
the scarcity of ammunition, caused
by the amount used by the Wood-
ham and Kirkton Hunt Club in their
record drive the week before. Fin-
ally they succeeded in sechring 77
rounds of ammunition, so under the
leadership of Mr. Toni. Bell the
party, 27 in number journeyed down
to within a short distance of Lucan
and commenced their drive, travel-
ling south: They bagged 76 jack
rabbits and would have secured
many raore but their guns were
empty, so they turned toward home.
John Brock was lucky in haying six
shells .and he brought home a like
number of rabbits, being high man
for the day. It might be said here
that one shell was lost on the trip
down. One of the boys had heard a
rumor that these rabbits may, be
-stopped by an unusual sound so
seeing one advancing toward him at,
great speed he gave a long drawn
who-hoo-oo. The rabbit stopped,
sat up, wiggled its ears and gave `the
daring hunter ple y time to take
steady aim, fire a d bring down his
prey.
