STAFFA tion in the Huron Tract, upon which the garden farms of this Province were built. It was the early country news- papers, sent by our pioneers to their relatives in the old land, that adver- tised Ontario as a land of promise and kept the stream of immigration at flood for so many years. To -day, Ontario offers greater op- portunities, not in' bush land, but in improved land, with buildings and equipment which the early immigrants from the mother country never dream- ed of, and at a price not greater than they paid. While does the Ontario Government not advertise these facts? 1s,IPPEN Notice. -Naw ' is the time to have your implements put in shape for Spring and save being disappointed later on- A good stook of every thing for the farmer on hand.

Mr. T. C.

Sugar making is now in full swing and with frosty nights and sunny days will give good returns. Mr. Thomas Shaddock is unable to engaged in his duties as section fore- man of the C.N.E. Company here for the present and likely for some little time to come, for when recently en- gaged in sawing a steel rail and let- ting it drop heavily to the ground, as is usually done in order to completely sever the cut, it bounded up catching the back of his foot and ankle, in- flicting n'tost painful injury, but fortu- nately no bones were broken, but such an injury is often as severe as a frac- ture and taking as long to recover from it. Mr. Shaddock is one of the best and most painstaking foremen on the London, Huron and Bruce, rarely missing a day of work, and we hope soon to see him able to re-engage in his duties. Our London Read has presented this week the old-time appearance of snow drifts in the days of rail and board fences, but in this ease it was the heavy wind storm of Sunday last blowing the snow at the sides of the highway that had been opened up by the large snow plow, but it is once more made .passable at date of writ- ing for cars and other vehicles. Our merchants are having openings and pushing, the spring sales of goods reckless of cost or profits. Mr. W. J.

The attendance at our local church- es on Sunday last was pretty small owing to the drifted state of the roads. Spring wear for ladies and gentle- men is now becoming the order of the day.

It looks as if winter has had a re- lapse. We all hope it will soon be better and give way to spring. The highway has again been block- ed and made impassable for automo- biles and the snowplow also stuck for a while, but with a little warmer weather and some real hot sun, it will be back to normal again. There soon should not be any water short- age. 'Mr. Dan, Ross, of Tuckersmith, held a successful sale last week when he sold his farm to Mr. John Tremeer. Sales seem to be the order of the day.

McDont •L -There passed away at her home in Hibbert on Thursday, February 26th, one of the township's oldest and most highly respected residents in the person of Mrs..,A. McDonald, in her 33rd year. Mrs. McDonald had been in poor health for some time and her death, although a cruel blow to her family and friends, came as a relief to her. The deceased who was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. McMillan, of Staffa, was beloved by all who knew her. She was kind and considerate to friends and neighbors, a true wife and mother. In her home her life found its crown of devotion. She is survived by her sorrowing husband and a family of four sons and four daughters: Mrs. Butson, London; Mrs. Miller, Killarney, Man.; Mrs. Ad- ams, Constance; Mrs. Henderson, Kirkton; John, of Staffa; Hugh, of Windsor; Duncan of Washington, and Alex., of Seaforth, and one brother, Peter McMillan, of West Olive, Mich. The funeral was held on Saturday, February 28th, a private service be- ing held at the home, after which the body was taken to Staffa United Church, where the full service was held, conducted by her pastor, the Rev, Mr. Stewart, assisted by Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Cromarty. One of the fav- orite hymns of the departed was: "When my life work is end, I cross the swelling tide, And the bright and gloriol s morning I shall see, I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side, And His smile will he the first to wel- come me." ' which was beautifully rendered by the choir. The esteem' in which she was held and the great sympathy felt for the bereaved husband and family was plainly evidenced by the large number that filled the church for the service. Interment was made in Staf- fa cemetery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. James Hilt, Richard Sellery, Robert Lavery. Robert Coleman, Wm. Patrick and Wm. Davis. 4,N UNUSUAL WINTER Until last week the present winter has been a most unusual one in this district, and in fact throughout prac- tically the whole of Ontario. But while it has been a most un- usual winter it has been a most pleas- ant one. There has been no lack of snow, but there has been little wind to pile it up and block the roads. There have been many cool days, but no severe ones. There was no January thaw and there have been no rains- All of which has made it com- fortable in the homes and easy to get about out of doors. Yet while it has been looked upon as a mild open winter, it is doubtful if in years we have had as much snow on the level in this section as we have this year. With little wind and no thaws, the snow is lying level on fields and roads alike, except on the highways where the snowplows have been in operation, and there, there are piles of snow on the sides of the road many feet high. All of which is to the good, as when the rains do come the blanket of snow will ensure plenty of moisture for the corning crops, and moisture has been sadly lacking in many parts 'of 'Ontario since early in the fall. In fact the weather has been so de- lightful and the season se far ad- vanced, that people were beginning to believe that the winter was over, and spring on the way. But such dreams were too good to be true and Saturday's storm came as a rude awakening. And it was a storm and general over the whole of Ontario, some sections reporting it the worst in thirty years. In almost no time there was a string of abandoned •c s on the high- ways and even in salsa of the larger towns -end cities traffic was demor- alized, in others it was at a complete sstand'still. Fortunately it was over by Sun- day and by 'Monday people had dug theinselves out with no serious dam- age ortoo much inconvenience hav- 4mg test 1r d.
