Hockey.—New Hamburg hockey team met. Seaforth in the Palace rink on Tuesday night, in the first home and home games for intermediate honors and received the surprise of their lives. The score was 8-6 in Sea- forth's favor and except at the com- mencement of the second and third periods the home boys outplayed the visitors more than the score indicates. The persistent checking and horning - in tactics of the winners had the team which downed Stratford a week ago, on the defensive for the greater part of the gaane ,and it was only the superior work of the New Hamburg goal keeper that kept down the score. On Tuesday's play, Seaforth 'should even with their small two goal lead, more than hold their own in the return game at New Hamburg, on Friday. The following was the Seaforth line- up: Goal, McGeoch; Defence, Dalton Reid and Hoffman; forwards, Sills, Thorne and Reg. Reid; substitutes, Otto Dick and Hoffman.

Mr, Smith was born in Weston, York County, in 1846, but When nine years of age came with his family to Huron when they settled on the Parr Line, Stanley, and where' he saw the forest develop into the fine farms that we have to- day. On the death of his first wife in 1884he sold his farm and moved to Exeter, where he remained a year, af- ter which he purchased a farrn at Hills Green. In 1888 he married Miss E. J. Coulter and in 1895 he again sold his farm and moved to Zorra township near Woodstock, where he co-ndueted a general store for 12 years. Eleven years ago he sold his business. and since then he has been pipneering in Rainy River District where he owns two quarter sections of good farm land. At preeent he and Mrs. Smith are at the home of his eldest son, John H. Smith, East William street, where he will be pleased to have old friends call on him, as his health will not permit him to go about much. McKillop Insurence Company.—The annual meeting of the McKillop Mut- ual Fire Insurance Company, was held in the Council Chamber of the town hall, Seaforth, on Friday last. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Jas. Connolly, of Goderich, president of the Company, and there was a very small attendance, and no discussion, which would seem to indicate that the policyholders have every confidence in their board of directors and the man- ner in which they have been directing the affairs of the company. At pres- ent there are in force 2,159 policies, covering insurance to the amount of $4,833,060. This is secured by prem- ium notes to the value of $192,988. The losses during the year amounted to $7,003.10. The working expenses amounted to $194'7.75, making a total expenditure for 1918 of $8,950 85. The, total assessment paid for 1918 amount- ed to $9 056.47, and at present the Company has a cash balance on hand of $3,586.08. The retiring directors were Messrs. John Bennewees Logan; and J. G. Grieve and James Evans,ofMcKillop. These were all re-elected: Messrs. James Kerr, of Seaforth, and John Govenlocic, of Egmondville, were re-elected auditors At a meeting of 1 Paper Bound Novels Just`received a new as- sortment of Paper Bound Books by popular auth- or's.

Progressive Stock Men.—The annual meeting of the Dominion Live Stock and Breeders Association was held in Toronto last week, and was well at- tended by stock men, among those present from Huron being Messrs. J. Macfarlane, of Stanley,' James Snell and Thomas McMichael of Hullett. Mr. Macfarlane, a specialty in speed, and he is known beyond the boundaries of Huron as a breeder of choice thoroughbred stock. He would just as soon talk speed as seat in pin ner. Mr. McMichael is wellrlEiiown as a breeder and dealer in heavy draft horses, and frequently fig es as a prize winner at Toronto a Len - don. He knows a lot more about the point of a good stallion than appears on the surface. Mt. Snell also takes prominence as a sheep breeder, though he dabbles somewhat in Shorthorns. But sheep are his specialty—chiefly Leicesters. He has probably sold more thoroughbred sheep to Ameri- cans than any other man in this local- ity, and his name is as well known in the States as in Canada, because there is hardly a Statt) fair that he has not attended in the'eaps.city of judge, eith- er for sheep, cattle or- heavy horses.
