McKILLOP
Address to Reeve Govenlock.-On
the, evening .of the 23rd day sof
cember, 1919, a number of the officials
of the township of McKillop met at
the home of John M. Govenlock, when
F. J. Burrows, M. D, was called: to
the chair, and the following address
was read by M. Murdie. Then there
were impromptu speeches by the of-
ficials to which Mr. Govenlock re-
plied in a • few well chosen words.
Then the company were given the
freedom of the house, and the re-
mainder of the evening was spent in
games and social conversation, after
which Mrs. Govenlock served lunch,
and all went home *ell pleased with
the evening's entertainment. The
following is the address which ac-
Ampanied the presentation of a
handsomely fitted club bag to M. J.
M. Govenlock, M.P.P., by the Mc-
Killop council on Tuesday' • evening
last: To J. M. Govenlock:-We, a few
of the officials of the municipality of
McKillop, have met here to spend an
hour with you ere you sever our
relation with us as Reeve of Mc-
Killop. During your long term of
office, fourteen years, that spirit of
confidence and cheerfulness ;which
you possess, has been a source of
strength and encouragement to all
the offils who have been associated
with yai 'under the exasperating and
trying conditions which, at times, ex-
isted in the fulfillment of their duties.
And we ask you to accept this club
bag as- a remembrance of the many
times we wrought together. And ur
sincere desire is that our -Heavenly
Father will guide and direct you in
the more arduous duties which you
are about to undertake as our re-
presentative in the Legislature. Sign-
ed on behalf of the officials of the
Municipality of McKillop. M. Murdie,
Clerk.
(Too Late For Last Week).
• Notes. --There has been a number
of farmers throughout McKillop and
Logan going the rounds, collecting
money to assist Mr. Edward Scher-
borth, of , the tenth concession of
Logan, to rebuild his barn, which he
had the misfortune to get burned a
couple of weeks ago. -Mr. Thomas
Irvine, of the 12th concession, in-
tends selling about ten acres of bush
to parties needing firewood, which
should help at least to some extent
to relieve the fuel situation in that
district. The Hullie Brothers are
busy cutting wood. They charge one
dollar a cord for short wood, or a
dollar and a half if they. split and
pile it. The writer can remember
when he used to cut, split and pile
wood for forty cents a cord and was
glad to get the job at that, -The
U. F. 0. Convention at Toronto seems
to have been a great success, and why
shouldn't it ,be? When we consider
the farmer is a capitalist, laborer and
most anything else, you may want to
call him. We used to hear the city
people talk, about the farmers with
hayseeds in their' whiskers, but
strange as it may seem, the !slily
whiskered man at the convention was
a Toronto lawyer.

decided success, with Robert Dins -
dale in the chair in the Methodist

same position in the Presbyterian
school. Every number was listened to
with a great deal of interest, and
while we feel we should not mention
any one number in particular, we
must give great praise to the small
ehildren, who took their parts so well.
The ladies, who had charge, deserve
great credit for the way in which the

the golden wedding of Mr• and Mrs.
John Cooper, which took place at
their western home on Monday, De-
cember. 8th. Before removing to the

Cooper were well known residents of -
this vicinity and they still have many
relatives andfriends here who will
extend hearty congrateletions to them

The Globe says: Last Mondaay Mr.

their nearest towns. They have both
been, and still are, great workers for
school and churth, cheerful givers and
helpers. for all things that stand for
development for the good of the com-
munity. Their. house was beautifully
decorated with ,white and yellow
chrysanthemums, white and pink' car-
nations and white narcissus. A large
part of the chrysanthemums were
sent from a friend of theirs, Miss
Margaret McLean, of Ontario. A
golden wedding bell hung from the
arch between the dining room and
parlor and streamers completed the
decorations s ' be dinner was of roast
goose and turkey, while a nicely de -
orated weddingaye formed .the chief
entre. An ofd 'friend from Ontario,

person of Robert Caldwell, who made
an ideal one, and was the centre of
a happy company of children during
the afternoon and evening hours on

of the very best for giving of gifts,
• but there was one class who did not
share hardly at all. We -here refer
to the. faithful rural couriers and we
are sure that it must have been for

ford to be more .generous than the
, farmers to poor paid rural couriers.
-The Christmas and New Year. hol-
idays passed over very quietly in our
village as there were no public en-
tertainments en either days. On
Friday evening, the 26th of December,
our town hall was the scene of a very
large gathering of dancers and many
looking on; and a very gay time was
Opent by the large company, who com-
nletely filled the spacious hall. The
Harpers from London were present
and discoursed fine music, and the
dance was under the auspices of the
War Veterans. -So many visitors were

attention of our ratepayers, and at

the storm that was raging there was
a good attendance and great interest
manifested. At date of writing it is
thought that the corncil of 1919 is
likely to be re-elected as all the mem-
bers were nominated, but in the mat-
ter of the reeveship, there is likely
to be a keen run between the present
reeve. George C. Petty and Mr. Robt.
