Blyth
At a meeting of the citizens in Dr.
Milne's Hall, Monday night, it was de-
cided to have a semi -Centennial Cele.
bretion and Old Boyer Reunion in
Blyth nn July let, 1917.
THREE AND ONE MONTH FOR THEFT.
-Sentences of 3 months and a month
respectively were imposed on John
k aggitt and George Glousher, con-
victed of the theft of a small quantity
of grain from the barn of Mr. Brown
in the township of Morris, by His
Honor, Judge Dickson, on Friday, 2nd
inst. Petitions for leniency were
presented from residents of the
vicinity and Lawyer Dancer, who ap-
peared for the prisonere, pointed out
that the young men's previous record
was good. His Honor stated that re-
ports of petty thieving in Blyth had
been rife for some time and be felt
some punishment should be inflicted,
which should serve se a warning. He
made the difference in the sentence
because it appeared that Haggitt was
the one wire led Glousher into the
trouble. Haggitt was the owner of
the rig and had picked up Glousher.
It seemed hardly likely that they
would drive 2 miles to steal -such a
small quantity of oats, end His Honor
said ie looked as if they roust. have in-
tended to take more if they had not
been disturbed. Glousher furnished
bonds, for $500 each, to keep the
pierce fm' 2 years.

their moving from the old homestead
(which they old to. Mr, Cohrane) to

ME. AND MISS BISHOP. DEAR
s
I'RlENL .-The Good Book says A
s y
man that has friends must show him-
self friendly" and we, a cnnthegene of
neighbors and old friends, have called
on you this evening without even
waiting an invitation and purpose
doing about as we like. We were
sorry to hear that, owing to Me.
Bishop's health, you had sold the
homestead after a residence here for
over 50 years, and would soon be re-
moving from it. Our visit is 10 enjoy
a few hours socially with you before
the old home is vacated and the Inst
Bishop representative moved from the
5th Concession. You have rung true
in the passing years and by kindly
deeds and neighborly acts proved
worthy of the high esteem in which
you are held by a large circle of
friends. It is complimentary to Mr.
Bishop that by industry, intelligence
and thrift he made such a success of
farming, ably backed up by the faith-
fulness and activity of Miss Bishop,
Further proof of ability is the fact
that for 19 terms you have been Col-
lector of Taxes and by tact and gentle-
manly conduct filled the post splendid-
ly. The oasis in the desert to us is
the fact that you purpose remaining
in the Township which makes possible
a continuance of the old time friend-
ships. As a tangible mark of our
respect, and also a reminder of this
neighborhood, we ask you to accept
these upholstered Rocking chairs
with our best wishes for the years to
come and in the hope that you may
live long to enjoy them. We are not
forgetful of our young friend, Joe
Martin, and herewith present him
with tkisTie pin. Time works many
changes but we trust the things that
are enduring may be yours and ours
se that when the transitory has pass-
ed there may be a happy re -union of
kindreds in the Land where partings
and farewells are unknown. Signed
