Walker brought into this Office the other day a couple of strawberries, picked in his garden last week, One was . full grown and turning red, the other about half grown. 'Mb'.- Walker said he had seen a couple of others which were ripe but the birds devoured them, no doubt pouncing upon such a 'tit bit as a ripe strawberey in November.

The gailardia tries its hes to put out bloom but the sun does not remain out long enough to enable it.to develope a full bloom, but even delphiniums are still trying' to bloom t neighbors with a very nice little gift. About thirty of the neighbors club- bed together and sent in a most beautiful morocco, leather handbag for Mrs, Morrish and a Yardley shaving outfit for Mr. Morrish, to- ,gether with a neat little packet con- taining cards, strung together with white ribbon containing the names of all donors. A couple of the ladies called with the gifts, and expressed the regret of the neighbors at the removal of the family from town and also the good wishes of all for a happy future. It was a thoughtful and dainty gift and the manner of presenting it was very nicely carried out, Mr. and lefts, lbforrish are getting very nicely settled in their new home in Toronto, At the last regular meeting of Huron Lodge L07E,A, Ne 377 the following officers were elected: Wt M.: Mrs. J.
