He and Mrs. Lake had only returned the day previous t.fter spending Christmas at the home of their on in Fergus, He had been en- joying his usual good health. The deceased was born on the first line Morris Township 73 years ago and spent his early days in that town- ship. 46 years ago he was married to Laura Bosman, his now- bereft partner, and they continued to re- side inelorris for 13 years, after- wards moving to the 4th line of Grey where they resided for 33 years, moving to Brussels 2 years ago April, retiring.

The New Era, of Melita, Man., published an important butinoss cleat, which refers to an old Brusselite, Dave Lamont. We hope Dave thinks. of coming East now:—Abusiness deal of more than ordinary importance was concluded in Melita this week. whereby Morgan A. Snedden has taken over the garage and auto -- mobile business now' being con -- i ducted by D. Lamont. Mr. Snedden 1 has also purchased the fine, garage 1 building and equipment and will take possession on January lst, 1928. Mr. Sneclden' is well and favorably known in Melita, having been associated with the bul>iness for six years. Thus )ie needs no introuciction to Melita pee- . pre or .the automobile trade. He launches into this new endeavor with the best wishes of the community for a successful business career. Mr. Lamont, who has completed' thirty years of business in Melita, has not been in Ithe best of health following' a serious operation a few years ago, and will take a well-earned rest. At the time of writing, however, he .has not decided whether 110 will remain in Melita or not. Mr. Lamont was one of the pioneers in the automobile bus- iness in rural Manitoba, starting in 1910 with the agency for a line of higher priced cars. The business pro- ved particularly successful and'' a large number of cars were disposhhd of over a wide territory. His :first garage was the brick building\ on Maple street, now occupied by RIE. Moore. This, however, proved oo small for the accomodation of a bu 1•• ness that was gradually increasl A' on a substantial s antial basi 8 and , d in 19. 9 Mr. L M . anent acquired ed the, property.r q the corner of Front and Mplstr. et and in the same year erected on ( of the most up-to-date and largest gar - ago buildings in the province. The same year Mr. Lamont secured' the• Ford agency and in the new building handled the McLaughlin car as ,welt The combination of an agency ;tor a medium and low priced car was par- ticulei'y adapted to the needs of the community, and in edition to this tee motorists were always able to secure the most efficient service at the new garage. Ae the conclusion of a long business career, Mr. Lamont retires from active participation, after build- ing up a commercial institution than is a credit to the town and the die- . tr'ict it serves.

A Rotary Snow Plow. St. Marys Journal-Argus:A ro- tating snow plow belonging to the Department of Public Highways, stopped over in town en Thursday night, the men in charge staying at the Windsor Hotel. The plow is something new in snow -fighting oper- ations as it is composed of a largo auger -shaped cylinder mounted on :t special bozey in front of a four- wheel drive motor truck. The rotor is driven at 400 to 500 revolutions per minute by a separate Rumley en- gine mounted on the motor truck, the power being transmitted to the screw by means of a bolt. The men in charge say the device will clear a twelee-foot swath of Loose snow at the rate of about ten miles an hour, while in heavy snow four or five miles an tour can be made. The rotary plow went on as far as Elgin -- field on Friday morning', encounter - fug heavy going around Prospect Hill.

SAMIS Manager, Brussels Branch to Brussels friends for the many ]kind expressions of sympathy and acts of kindness in various ways. A New Film Coming. Spain—the Spain of today—add Slander --the great enemy of the day —are the locale and motivating mem- ace of the most sensational drama the screen has seen in months, "Lovers," which will be seen at the Grand Theatre next Monday and Tuesday. The new feature is a grip- ping romance of love and the peril of scandal, finned on a lavish scale as a starring vehicle for Ranson Nov- ' acro, with Alice Terry and a splendid cit t. It is a play unique in that et has no conventional villian. IIis place is taken by the invisible tongues of scandal, which blight lives, wreck souls, and cast the central characters into a ;maelstrom of poisonous lies in the gripping tal. The denounce- ment is one of the most remarkable bits of dramatic audacity and play- wright's originality in years. Modern Spain is the locale of the story—a Spain as modern as the United States is today. Novarro is seen as a young playwright, thrown into a sensational scandal with the wife 02 his best friend -although bolth are absolutely innocent. Thee situation is developed with rare dramatic intensity fro one cmlimax to another'. The cast under the direction of John M. Stahl, is ono of special interest. Novarro, hero of "Ben -Hue," is a different man en- tirely as the young Spaniard of the present day; Miss Terry, heroine of "Mare Nostrum" and The Magic- ian," charming as t'he young wife torn between love of her husband and terror of the scandal menacing her happiness. The management of the Grand can recommend this picture as one of the best last year.
