On Saturday evening last about 8 o'clock, the cry of fire was heard in our village, when it was found that a stable on the farm of Mr. Souter's near our village, was on fire. The cattle and horses were turned out, but the build- ing was burned to the ground, another fire soon started in a barn near the stable. All the articles including a quantity of wheat were taken out by willing hands. There was another barn near this one that was burnt, but b hard work, was saved. Men came from long distances in cars, and but for the heroic work the second barn and house would have been burned. An ample supply of water and willing men helped a lot. The cause of the fire is unknown: O••••••••••••••••••ta • WITH TILE CHURCHES, IS • Ontario St. Church.

Twelity persons were killed and 144 'buraday, December Bth, 192f' WE WILL NOT BE UNDER' SOLD BY ANY PEDLARS Butler Bros. Injured on Canadian railways during the month of November. The total comprises: -Passengers killed, none; injured 13; employees killed 10, in- jured 115r others, killed 10, injures 16. Included among the "others" were 11 ,accidents to automobiles at highway crossings. In these accidents four persons were killed and ten in- jured. Seven of the crossings were reported to the railway commission as unprotected. Railway Demurrage Rarea Established. The Railway Commission ruled re- cently that demurrage charges on rail- way cars are .to be a dollar a day for the first two days after the first forty- eight hours free time, thereafter five dollars a day. In giving judgment, Mr. Carvell said he saw no reason why a car could not be unloaded In four days which would only cost four dol- lars by way of demurrage. if kept for a longer time, even if through causes over which the shipper had no control, still he thought a penalty of five dol- lars would not be unreasonable. Sister -in -Law Passes Away. 'A sudden death occurred last month when Mrs. Addie E. Thompson, widow of the late Dr. Allen Thompson, Prin- cipal of the Hamilton Collegiate In- stitute, passed away. The deceased was born near Granton, a daughter of the late Mr. Perry, who afterwards moved to London. It is two years since the death of Dr, Alden Thompson,, The four surviving sons are Ernest; Lloyd, Trevor and Meredith. A bro- ther, G. B. Perry and a sister, Miss Thursa Perry, both of Hamilton, also survive. The deceased was a sister- in-law of Dr. C. W. Thompson, of Clinton. Several Changes in Railcray Rates. Several reductions in railway rates became effective last Thursday, Decem- ber i t. The revised tariff sheets have been received here by the Grand Trunk passenger and freight agents, with in- structions to have the reduced sleep- ing, Pullman and parlor car and freight rates placed into effect at once, It will now cost the traveller sixty cents to ride in a parlor car to Toronto, in- stead of eight -five cents, as heretofore from Stratford. The reduction in the parlor, the Pullman and the sleeping car rates amounts to approximately 20 %.. The cut in the freight rates is a general slash of 10%n and means con- siderable to shippers. Municipal Franchise for Women? .The Provincial Secretary has sent out letters to all the Municipal Councils In the Province, asking their opinion up- on the proposal to extend the right to vote' at municipal elections to wives and daughters of owners of property. The matter was discussed in ,the Ont- ario Legislature, but no action was taken because it was considered this would result in a large increase in the membership of every County Council. The Municipal Councils are asked to give their opinion upon this question at their next meetings. if women are entitled to the franchise in Provincial and Dominion elections, what good reason is there for withholding the same privilege in respect to\municdpal matters? A Gentle Reminder.. Our amounts are small, but we hare a large number of them scattered all over the county for subscriptions. We presume that most of our readers have good intentions to pay up at some time, but good intentions go a short way towards meeting drafts and set- tling our bills. Most of •those who are in arrears on subscriptions or owe us for job work, know without being told, and how much more agreeable it would be on both sides if payments were made without putting us to the pain- ful necessity of writing to each one personally. Now we respectfully ask each reader whether in arrears, one year or five to send us a remittance at once, if there is anyone who can- not pay the full amount due, there need be no resitation about sending us part of it whicih will bethankfully received and cheerfully credited.. DECEMBER ROD AND GUN The 'Christmas issue of Rod, and Gun in Canada is particularly attract- ive and is replete with many stories which will appeal to the heart of the true sportsman. Allen H. Kerr's "Trout Hunting on the Kenogami and Keniogamesis" as the opening article will prove a realistic tale, while the ever popular F. V. William's and Bonny caste Dale's narratives are of the usual high standard. The article by A. F. Wallace entitled "Clam and•Pearl Fish" will undoubtedly be of vivid interest as well as instructive. Guns & Ammuni- tion, Along the Trap -line, and Fishing Notes, contain several articles val- uable to the various readers. Rod and Gun in Canada is published monthly by W. J.
