Slept sound through Summer's day.

Hill unto hill they beckon on
Like rubies set in gold;
Flash upon flash like sparks of flame
Their loveliness unfold,
Ah, Autumn, stay thy hand ! this

Has naught to feed upon
Save its own beauty—Winter cold
Will come : • . But Autumn's gone!'

TOWN COUNCIL
The regular Novelinber meeting. of

,day, Nov. 1d'th, at 8 pan, in the coun-
cil chambers, all members present
excepting Cotticillor L. Eberhart.
Mayor Sutherland presided. Minutes
of last meeting were read and ap-
proved.
A deputation consisting or Messrs.
!Harry Stewart, 'Charles Aberhart and
C, P. lSill. was present to discuss
Avon Chests, asking for the co-oper-
ation of the council, as there is every
prospect that the Avon Chest factory
will be re -opened next month as the
Holding Syndicate is negotiating with
a prospective 'buyer, The factory
lcould employ 112-'1S men at the start,
probably increasing to 215 men. The
deputation .asked that tax arrears be
cancelled,
Councillor Bolton said if an agree-
ment were ]rade it should include
length of time the factory would
operate.
Mr. H. Stewart said they were un-
able to say how long it would oper-
ate; the firm intended to manufacture
bedroom and dining room furniture,
desk., bookcases and larger pieces of
furnittu'e. It was a reliable firm and
if things trent as expected, an exten-
s'ion would likely be built on the
factory later.

Mr. 'Justice Martin took care of the
toast to Huron, sketching its history
from 1181411, the year the county was

ed
