CORLESS DISTRICT AGENCY INSPECTOR — CLINTON CLINTON - PHONE 193 04-tf. DUNGANNON: A disastrous .fire was narrowly " averted on Monday evening when, .about 8 o'clock, the large barn of 'Henry Kerr,of the ' 'West W.avanosh=;Col'borne Boundary about two and one-half miles east of Nile, was discovered to be on fire. Having threshed his crop of wheat' early in the season, the large stack of wheat .straw which was also cut with the cutting' box at the time of thresh- ing, was ,blown out • at the north gable end ,of the barn, and it was in this stack that the fir.; originated. An insurance agentwas talking, busi peas with Mr Kerr at the house and. askedfor some matches, for smoking and in the couree of receiving them it is believed that some fell to the ground. Tl>lese, being picked up by the little four-year-old daughter of th' �, e family, IIilda, Were used, to set fire tothe stack of straw. It was. only by the heroic' , work of neigh-, bora who kept the• fire' in check un- til the Auburn and Goderieh fire bri- gades' arrived,•,. that saved the barn and other outbuildings, LONDESBORO Grandmothers' • Dal which has be- come an annual event with the Lon- desboro'Women's Institute, was again the magnet which .attracted a large crowd of members' and visitdrs to the. Community hall' last Thursday. The meeting was opened by the singing of the Institute Ode followed by the Lor ' s Prayer The vice pres- ident, ident, 'Mrs, Percy Manning, occupied the chair, while Miss • Sara C. Barr acted as secretary, When the reg- ular business was concluded the meet- ing was left .in charge of Mrs. J. Tamblyn, who acted as chairman for the grandmothers' program, which was begun by a chorus "Juanita" by all the grandmothers, followed by a duet, "Trundle Bed Song" by, Mrs. W. Lyon. and: Mrs. J. Manning. Mrs. E. Crawford then gave a reading, "What can an old woman do?"• A quartette "Flow, Gently, Sweet Af- ton,'r'was rendered by Mrs. Man- ning, Mrs. Lyon, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Brundson. A very humorous selec- tion "Caleb's 'Courtship" was given by Mrs. W. Lyon, after which Mrs. Hall read an auction sale bill of 1849 which showed very ; clearly the changes along agricultural lines wrought in the last eighty years. This was followed by another chor- us, "The Church in the Wlldwood•" Mrs. J. Tarnblyn then gave a short sketch, "The Antics of Grandma, which contrasted vividlythe grand- mothers of thepresent day with those of seventy-five years ago. Wedding parties of the past and present were exceptionally well rep- resented and caused a. great deal of amusement. Those taking part were Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Brunsdon dres- sed correctly' as bride and groom of seventy-five years ago and Mrs. J. Shobbrook and Mrs. T. Little dres- sed as the present day fashion dic- tates. Mock ceremonies were stag- ed when Mrs. J. Il1anning as minister read marriage services illustrating the difference in eastern and oblige- tions of present and past. An excellent paper on Institute work was read by a visiting grand- mother, Mrs, Phillips of Clinton, who is also a former resident of this comrnunity. A pageant presenting the contrast in dress between the past and pre- sent was the next in order. First came Mrs. Brundson carrying - a' make-believe infant in the long. clothing of the past generation and Mrs. W. , the up-to-date moth- er with, a make-believe baby dressed according to modern method showing the benefit of sun -tan. Mrs. E. Crawford, dressed as a faun woman of the past was a vivid contrast to Mrs. J. Shobblrook, in : her smart farmerette costume which was shown to be an aid and not a hindrance to efficient work. Mrs. G. Garrett .in costume which fashion and conven- tion once , thought necessary for church and street wear was 'a strik- ing contrast to Mrs. T. Little in the smart costumeand accessories of today. A charming old-fashioned girl was Mrs. Fingland with her very modest costnine and manners while Mrs. Rapson took the . role of the modern flapper in the smartest and briefest of clothing •and carrying her dog. Tho next was Mrs. 3. Manning in long white nightgown and cap and Mis. Hall in rich beau- tifully embroidered black silk pyjam- as. This was concluded by all join- ing in a grand parade. They then formed at the fronit of the stage singing, "Good -Bye Ladies" and "Auld Lang Syne." The pianist for the program was M,rs. E, A. Adams. During the intermission a guess- ing contest was held, the prize win- ners being Miss Katie Brown and Miss Ida Lyon. The meeting then adjourned and all repaired, to the basement where dainty modern refreshments were served by the grandmothers. A. hearty vote of thanks was mov- ed by Mrs. P. Johnston and seconded by Miss L. Young, who, in her usual bright and happy manner paid high tribute to the grandmothers of the past and to those of our own age and community, who had presented such a novel, varied and interesting pro- gram. The net proceeds for the afternoo i were $18.25 and will be used to buy chairs for the community hall. Mas. W. B.

Discovery of lignite coal on the Abitibi -River, in the Cochrane dis trict, will be welcome news to Ont- ario. If the deposits estimated at from 7,000,000 to 10,000,000 tons is of as higha quaity as first tests indicate, the importance of the find can scarcely be overstated. It has heretofore been: the general` opinion that no coal of value existed in Ont- ario. Importation from United States has "been nedessary with a consequent outpouring of money that, did not find its way back into the province. The rich mineral areas of Northern Ontario have yielded up almost every other form of mineral wealth but coal. If coal is now to be added to the list Ontario will in- deed be fortunate. The newly dis- covered lignite deposit will; it is be- lieved,.be,of particular benefit to the large industries in the northern: see- tion of the province, and depending on its extent, may also be a boon in coal consumers of all classes in the older districts of 'Ontario. The es- timated cost at the mine is $6 per ton; exclusive of transportation' costs, which 'is a considerable saving on the cost of imported anthracite, which it is said to approximate, in quality, DUNGANNON: George Gleen re- turned on 1Vbonday evening from -the Alexandria Marine and ' General Hospital Goderich, where he was tak- iriu on Saturday evening following , an unusual. .and peculiar accident which happened where he was work- ing to repair and remodel a house owned by him in Dungannon He was standing on a b'ox placed Upon' the seat of a rocking chair when he fell, and an upright art, t of he hack" of P the chair, ;some, six or eight inches long, and i shaped much like the blunt halide of a pitchfork, which projected above therest of thle':,chair back, penetrated his body just below and in front of his right arm, in- flicting a nasty wound, the right , SEAFORTH--+Mr.. and Mrs. Ber- nard Nott, Hallett, announce the en- gagement of their daughter, Bernice Dorthea, to Mr. Gordon A.

Guelph for selling liquor in the Township of Ashfield, contrary to ,section 72 (1) THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1921 issomewassoiseamounaremsiekswisaso of the Liquor Centrol Act, The evi- dence of Samuel Glazier, showed that he had an agreement with the Brew- ing Company for a commieslon of 25 cents a case for liquor for which he secured orders from holders of per- mits. Under the agreement he went into Ashfield and • canvassed permit holders and secured two orders; which Were filled. J. C. Makins, K. C o , Stratford conducted the pro- secution, and D. P. Monroe, of Guelph acted for the defendant company. The argument for the defence was that the sale was made at the brew- ery and they claimed that no coni mission was paid to Glazier for the sale, but that he was the agent of the purelasor•. The Magistrate held, however, that Glazier was the agent of the vendor and imposed the fine set by the statute, to which costs, a- mounting to $84.10 were added.
