Morris John and Mrsa'Shurrie, 4th line, are spending the Christmas holiday with relatives at Stratford and Galt. The Trustees of S. S. No, 8, have re-engaged Roy Turvey, ata salary of $1000 per year. Mr. Turvey has done good work and we are glad his ser- vices are being retained. A horse belonging to James Scott, 8th line, was destroyed, at the age of 86 years. This faithful animal came into Mr. Scott's possession when 8 years old, doing his fair share of work up till 2 years ago. Horse was in fair- ly good condition and perhaps would have lived for some time yet as his goodThis h were still in shape, test horse has established a record that will take some beating. A FORMER MORRISITE: Mayor Norman L. Brandon, who has filled that position in a splendid and most capable manner for the past 2 years, in St. Marys, is retiring frommulsicipal life, but before doing so the Council presented him with a massive gold headed cane in recognition of his splen- did service. Who will fill Mayor Brandon's place is hard to say, as the mayoralty contest promises to be a hot one with three candidates in the ffeld, Leon Constable, R. S. McKay, and 0, E. Richardson, all of whom are held in the highest esteem and any one of whom would make a good choice. Morris township extends con- gratulations to our old township boy.
