LADIES AID HAD A SPLENDID CONCERT As was expected, the Ladies' Aid concert in the high school was a huge success and words of appreciation were heard on all sides. A large aud- ience was in attendance and nearly $7.5 was realized, which was highly satisfactory considering that the re- serve seats sold for 35 cents. The play this year was of a different character from those of former years, beingr more of a serious natur- but nevertheless veins of mirth ran along tliroughout the length of the three acts. All the actors and actresses plilyed their parts exceedino-lv well, and received the commendation of all present. Those taking part and the cast of characters wei*e as followc : Cynthia Whitcomb, the Deacon's wife, Mrs. W. Henry; Miranda Poas- ley, Mother 0' Mine, Mrs. W. Moore; Martha Tisdale. a neighbor.

Flesherton Soaked By Gravenhurst Sanitarium HAVE TO PAY $600 AND COSTS POR KEEP OF YOUNGBLUTT AT SANITARIUM 0n Tuesday of last week this vil- lage was plunged into a debt of $800 and village costs, in all about $1000. when an agreement was reached making it necessary for Flesherton to pay the above amount, with no fur- their liability for Youngblutt's keep. Reeve D. McTavish and Messrs. Chas. Stewart, Fred Mathewson, John Nuhn and Mrs. Nuhn went to Toronto as witnesses, but only the latter two gave evidence. The case was clear against the town and in no way could we have got out of paying it. The last writ was for $1900, and the set- tlement was due to the man having received money from the hospital. Normanby was jointly served with a writ with Flesherton but they we're found not liable, although they agreed to pay (heir own costs. ROBBED AT RIVERVIEW THOS. WATTEBS ASSAULTED IN HIS HOME AT NIGHT AND ROBBED OF $500 A daring robbery took place at Riverview, several miles from Dun- dalk, last week when Thos. Watters was assaulted and robbed in his home. About 11 o'clock at night two men entered the home, the door being un- locked. The old man, who lives alone and was asleep in bed, was struck over the head by one of the visitors who used a boot jack as a weapon, making quite a gash which bled pro- fusely. The victim put up a fight, but his hands were tied together by a stout rope and his head covered up with the bed clothes. The sum of $500 in bills was found in the pocket of Mr. Watters' trousers and this is all that was taken although the house was evidently searched for more. The old man loans considerable money and it is thought the robbers expected to get a bigger haul. The men worked mostly in the dark and Watters did not get a look at their faces. Some time after they left the house the victim got over to the corner store and aroused the inmates, but no trace of the robbers was found. The council of Melancthon is offering a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. Take Notice To Whom It May Concern : â€" If the party or parties who have cut and taken timbar on lot 38, Concession 10, do not call and settle at once, costs will be incurred, as they are known. â€" Mrs. Jas. Genoe, Flesherton. FLESHERTON Y P S.
