The cattle, used to the quiet restful green pastures, appeared to be much confused and excited bY the buzz and activity of mein street and kept looking from aide to side as if for an opening lh"ough which to escape. One at the head of the group espied the alley immediately south of G. A Deadman's drug store and dashes .n, followed by several others. Three big steer's, a little in the rear, saw their mates leave the street and resolved to follow. But they did net have the right number and entered the dreg store. The attendant in the .store, the late George Rogers faille out of the hack shop to wait on tL•e "customers" he heard enter. Was ho astounded?, and why hot?, to see three big horned steers in his store. As Mr. Rogers could not tilk their language, no sales were made. The customers made their way to the end of the counter, turn- ed around the row of display tables .,ncl cases with little or ro damage and headed for the door. However they also wrecked the entire store front when two of them tried to get out of the narrow door at the same time. The proverbial "Bu11 1,1 a China. Shop' 'allegory pales into insignificance when compared with the actual happening "Three Steers in a Drug Store." Well the farmer had lots of help in rounding up his here. and from then on all went well Sometime later Jim Fox, who kepi a drug store in the next block, also bad a rather unusual "animal ex- perience." At that ' time he was heed agent for the Dominion Express Company. The goods were carried by the Wroxeter, Brussels, Seaforth stage route. For the most part the freight consisted of easily handled packages, but one Saturday night the driver, from. Wroxeter, arrived at the Fox Drug Store with a hog in a crate billed for Sestort11. The •animal was of enormous size and weighed nearly halt a ton, Weil Jim Fox had to board the monster over Sunday and T do not believe he was a bit pleased about it. In fact l do know he was very much "peev- ed." It took all the hands that could be gathered up on anadn street to un- load tie big fellow. You may be sure Mr. Fox did not allow his wool end "guest" to miss the 9 o'clock stage for Seaforth on Monday mo.ning, ii anyone knows of shop keepers, in aiy line, who have "animal stories," 1e connection with their busiaoases, 1.' beat the two referred to above, We would be glad to hear about them. 1945 BRUSSELS, ON s;,t+IU' Local News Items CARD OF THANKS Mr. Robert Clark and relatives t-ish to extend their sincere thane to the neighbor's for the beautiful floral tribute and special thanks to the Reverend Mr. Oldham, also the people who loaned their cars.
