On Tuesday, Oct, 14th, Miss Flor- ence Cuninghanie picked ,agr eat bunch of fragrant sweetpeas in her garden, as large, long-stemmed and beautiful as any seen -this year, while other flowers seem to have taken on a new lease of life and are blooming beautifully.

Some who are not ac- customed to attending auction sales thought in an entertainment to see him in action and5at his best. The Mas- sey.Harris agent, Mr. R. A:. Roberton, gave the use of the high platform in front of his shop for the displayof the wares and a stand for the auction- eer and the day being so fine it was no hardship for the crowd to stand about, outside, and every article was sold.
