On Frid*y evening the library board chose a lot of new books and elected Mr. M. K, Richardson President, Mrs. (Dr.) Carter Secretary, and \V. H. Thurston Treasurer. The librarian has yet to be appointed, and premises are to be secur- ed, but it is hoped to have the books ready for circulation next week. The rules and regulations of the Pro- vincial Board of Ueuhh state that quarantine for scarlet fever and diph- theria must be for five weeks and may be more. The M. H. H. may permit those who do not have direct care of the patient to leave the premises in order to attend to their regular duties, except teachers snd pupils and those engaged in preparing food for human consumption, but the patients and attendants on them must be under rigid quarantine. The four-day blizzard which ra<<eel the fore part of last week was productive of some, hu^e snow drifis. Out in Glone'g the smw was piled up in mountains and covbred the telephone poles. A gentle- man out nt Pomona telephoned Th Ad- vance on Wednesday that lie lm.1 just assisted in the disinterment of a tele- phone line that had sunk below the 3iiow line (he WHS not line, either) and had stuck up sticks in the snow, placed the insulators thereon and raised the wires. This is worse than the mule team which lowered their ears and used- them for snow plows, making a beautiful cutting from Feversham to the gravel road. It took two days to do it, but John says the job was a slick one. Any person having any more true snow yarns to unwind will tind a credulous listener al this end of the wive.

A largely attended meeting of rate- payers was held iu the town hall on Wednesday evening of last week to di'-.eu: ;; the matter of village incorpora- tion. The question was gone into very fully and when a show f hands was asked for there was no one to vote nay. The meeting was unanimous on the advisability of separating from the town- ship, and the petition secured 152 signers there and then, with many more added later on. The matter has been placed in the hands of Lawyer W. H. Wright, who will see it put through at the coir- ni',' session of the Legislature. It is hoped to have a representative at the June session of County Council.

A Pig, Then Some Mr. Richardson Boyle, of Alma, when not engaged in bridge building, framing or other ardous employment, takes con- siderable pride in poultry and other licies of live stock, with equal success. Last Friday he killed what he calls a "little pig," about nine mouths' old which he got from Mr. Coffee about the first of June. When killed and dressed the porker weighed 406 Ibs. and when hiinn up he lacked only 2 inches of being 8 fr. from tip to tip. Wher. spilt the carcass measured .'.". I inches across the side, from shoulder to breast. The pig had considerable Tamwoith in his breeding. Mr. Boyle is pardonably proud of the record he has made, and the figure can be verified by several of the candidates in Pilkington und Peel who were at Mr. Boyle's place the day the butchering was done. -Elora Expresi. Miss Evelyn Baker, a school teacher, died suddenly after driving homo from UxLridge with a young man. There is a suspicion of suicide and an inquest will be held.; An amusing incident ia icported from Raleigh township. A well known farmer lady had a flock of about 200 chickens that she was preparing for market 1 She went to the barn on a recent morning to attend to them and discovered to her surprise that duing the night, thieves had visited the place and cleaned out the entire pen. She began a search at once for tracks, and picked up a roll of bills ia a rubber band amounting to (210. Liter in the morning a well-known man visited the place and went straight out to the henhouse. He returned to the house in a few minutes however, and asked the lady if she had any chickens for sale. "No sir," she- replied, "Isold them all last night." Tbo incident closed with that, and the man drove away. Farm For Sale Lot 16, Con. 10, Township of ( Mprey, clnsa to Feversham Post. Office. Frame bank barn and frame house. Seventy tteros cleared .
