An informal gathering was held in Markdale on Monday evening of last week when a handaomeclub bag was presented to Mr. Boyd, alone with other tokens of esteem to the members of the family. Before moving to Marl dale a few years ago Mr, Boyd was a valued resident of Hleshcrton anil con ducted a* genera! store under the rirm nameJ. & \V. Boyd. It was largely through Mr. Uoyd's efforts that Flesher ton was incorporated into a village an he was its. first Reeve, holding tha office until he moved his business t< Markdale. While residing here Mr Boyd was always striving to advance th interests of the village, and it is wit keen regret that the people of thi district say an revoir to Mr. Boyd an family.
