Jean McInnis of Battleford, Sask., formerly of Blyth, was mar- ried recently to Mr. Archibald W. Young of that town. "Oren of ;Blyth's ;buey men is Mr, Luxton Hill and this winter he has had it exceptionally so with the work both at the planing and saw- mill, and judging- from the number of logs now iu the mill yard yet to be converted into lumber, he still has some months work' ahead of him, Mr, Hill was born on lot 37 concession 11, Hullett, in the year 1869. This took place on a farm 'that had been taken up by his fath- er in .tae year 185.2, when the major part 'of the township was a ` dense forest. This farm still remains with the Hill family,' Mr. H. H. Hill be, ing the present owner and residing thereon. In tlie year 1888, Mr. Hill with his mother, leit the homestead and mov- ed v -ed to Londesboro where he entered the carpenter and framing business under Mr, Matthew Mains. He was married to Miss la. R. Mitchell - of Goderich in the year 1897 aud after- wards took over the Londesboro ho- tel which he conducted until 1898. In 1904 he came to Blyth and pur- chased the planing mill which had been conducted. by his brothel', Jam- es, who died a few months prior, and whiclt he has successfully con- ducted -ever since. .In 1907-8 he served on the Council Board and in January 1909 was de- feated -for the Reeveship by Dr, W. 1following J. Milne, but.the ear he y "came back" and captured ,the civic chair which leo retained for two year; aria during which time the BLyth Rural Telephone System, of which,. he is still ;resident was 'inau- gurated, and which has since become quite an extensive ve affair. bast ;rioter, in company, with his brother, 'Phobias, he purchased the Blyth sawmill which bad been lying (torment for, some time, and put it into operation which afforded consid- erable employment duriag the winter months, and thus year he is conduct- ing it, himself. Mr. Hill has always- been a live citizen, open to any project that would,' benefit the town generally, a y, and is ready and willing to forward any movement that will, induce man- ufactues to locate here. — Blyth 'Toronto, March 18th. -Receipts of live stock at the • Union Stock Yards were 101 carloads, 1330 a cattle, 774 hogs, 552 sheep and lambs, "341 of which were yearling lambs from Chicago," 69 calves and 01 horses. o c 'There was a fair percentage of the cattle offered as fat, that were good to choice quality, Trade in fat cattle was not as good as one week ago, A large number of the butchers had got their. Easter supply last week, and the weather outlook was another factor that had something to do in making a slow market and lower prices, All classes of cattle were off from 10c to 25e per cwt. trout what they were last Tuesday, the market clos- ing dull and show, with quite a large number left unsold- Should there be a liberal supply, the remainder of the week, the prospects are for still lower prices. The supply of cattle was smaller than on any Tuesday for many weeks, and prices were easier. Stocrts and feeders were in demand higher prices. And cattle are still selling veru high, each after all the, declines men tioned. The News From Londesboro John T.

Mr. John Weymouth of Brussels spent a low days this week with his brother, Mt. A. Weymouth. The following, from the ' '1 Toronto Star, refers to a brother of Mr. Al- bert Neal of the Base Line, and- it' might be )stated that Rev, Mr, Neal is well known around Londesboro, where he served his timei, as an apprentice beforere taking up the work of the ministry:' Still another Ontario pastor has declined a larger salary for a smaller one, thus up- setting a theory that was becoming a • tradition — that ministers0 f the gospel were out for all the cash they can get. This time it is a Methodist, who has -turned down the big offer, and according to the pre- sent campaign of the Christian Guardian, the official Methodist or- gan, lots of Methodist ministers these days are very poorly paid. Rev. T. W; Neal, formerly of'New- market and King ' g street east 0hurch;,. Toronto, now of Kingston, received an offer of the pastorate of Bath- urst Street Methodist t S co et udfst C1 ui• i ch Tor- onto ;'at a salary of less that $2000 a year, and partially accepted it, Thein there car mc an offer from o St, James Church„ Montreal of ;$5000 a year, with two assistants, stants, a deacon- ess, and various organized helps. A deputation from St. James waited on the quarterly board of Bathurst Streetsome fame ago, and asked them to release Mr. Neal. The Bath- urst board left it to Mr. Neal him - 'self to :decide, He has plow defir'te- ly decided to accopt Bathurst street At a meeting of thecongregation., of Burns and Knox churches Tues- day a on Z es clay it was decided to extend a calf to the Rev.
