An item has been going the rounds stating that trout fishing will hot open until May 15th. This is incor- rect. The old date stWl applies â€" May first. The fish and game committee recommended such a change, but their recommendation was not adop- ted. It does not mean much in this district one way or the other, as there are not many fish left '.o be ca«<rht. Easter in the churches this year was fittingy recognized by special sermons and special floral decorations. In the Methodist church at night the audience was unusually large, quite filling the church. In addition to a finely rendered anthem b-" the choir, Miss Sparks of Hamilton rendered "The Holy City," and a series of lant- ern slides were shown illustrating the life and crucifixion of Christ. Several appropriate hymns, also shown on slides, were sung by the audience. The Sabbath school also recognized Easter this year, when the pupils of the primary classes were presented with pretty baskets containing candy I Easter eggs. I The Baptist church also treated I their little ones in a similar way. i The Easter sermon in the Presby- j terian church was based on ohn 20-29 : I "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, be- cause thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believed." The music was appropriate for the occas- I ion. In th Sababth school the junior I pupils were treated to prettilv decor- I ated basketts of Easter eggs. The I floral decorations were very pretty.

Since com- j ing to Flesherton the family have . proved themselves to be good citizens and we can confidently recommend I them to the people of Alliston. Eric i is a pianist of considerable merit and the assistance he has accorded here at various functions was much appreciat- ed. We are sorry to lose Mr. Dowling and family but wish them the best success in their new undertaking. BURNED TO DEATH BUSSEYâ€"CHERRY On Wednesday, April 16th at 11 a. m. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Cherry, Wodehouse, was the scene of a pretty little wedding, when their only daughter, Edna May, became the bride of Mi. John Bussey, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bussey of England. The ceremony, which took place under an arch of greenery, mingled with Easter lillies, was conducted by Rev. J. S. Veales, only the immediate relatives wiere present. The bride was gowned in White satin trimmed with white bugle beads and wore a draped veil and orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations. Miss Alice Elford of Epping acted as bridesmaid and wore a sand silk and wool crepe dress. Mr. Harvey Corn- field of Kimberley supported the groom. Mendelssohn's wedding mar- ch was rendered by Mrs. J. S. Veales. After the ceremony and congratul- ations a wedding dinner was served in the dining room. Mr. and Mrs. Bussey left for Toronto on the after- noon train, the bride travelling in a â-  j Very becoming hat and ploves. I The groom's gift to the bride was a dainty lovalier; to the pianist a I handsome hand bag. After a short ! honeymoon the hapoy couple will take up residence at Owen Sound. A tragedy resulting in the death of Ross Carter, second son of Reeve Jos. G. Carter of Greenock occur- red on Wednesday afternoon of last week at a fire which destroyed their home about a mile and a quarter west of Enniskillen. It seems that sparks from the chimney ignited the roof, and, seeing the structure doomed, young Carter and a chum, Richard McConkey. hurried upstairs and were carrying out his mothers bureau con- taining many of her valuables, when the roof, wihch had been burning briskly, caved in, carrying with it the ceiling and all. Carter was crushed under the falling debris and was burned to a crisp, his charred remains being found amid the ashes of his home after the fire had razed the structure to the ground. Only the liead and arms being missing. McConkey, too, was almost caught in the crasli, and was bady burned forcing his way to an openinp". where, with clothes aflame, he leaped out, breaking his left leg below the knee. He was rushed to the County hospital at Walkerton, where he is now under- going treatment for his wounds. Ross Carter, the victim of the trag- edy, was 22 years of age. CONTRACTS WERE LET] Warden McTavish, the Mayor of X Owen Sound and the Reeve of Hoi- " land were in Markdale on Wednet^y 9 of last week to let tenders for sup- | plies for the House of Refuge. The I A coal contract was let to J. Murdock I ST of Durham. The other tenders all ' J went to Markdale firms â€" bread to I. • England, groceries to F. T. Hill & ; ^ Co., meat to Haslam & Johnston, gt and undertaking to M. Oliver. Z The House of Refuge has at the ^ present time 63 inmates. Included | 2 in these is one remarkable old man â€" I W a pioneer of Artemesia township â€" i 9 who is in his 106th year. He is * |^ smarter to-day than many men at | ^ 75 years of age. i S 9 I A Found Black Fox Puppies .^ ! ® While cutting wood last week ® John O'Malley and Hery Kelly dis- ! ^ covered a fox den and after digging \ ^ them out, to their surprise found , S there were six black fox pups about ® three days old. It was just like I ® finding a diamond in the rough, i @ However they were puzzled just [ ^ what to do to raise them, when they ' 2 learned that James Kirby's collie ' ® was raising a bunch of pups and Jim \ was induced to wean the collie pups i and give the black foxes a chance. J Mother collie has taken charge of | the little black fellows and they are ' thriving just as well as her own ' litter which are now getting their i daily supply of cow's milk from a dish. If the little fellows can be raised and kept in captivity, they will be worth some money. â€" Tees- - water News. •<M»4»«N»4eMBKGM»0«««4» tt««««4MH»«M»4»4>««4»0# The Grocery S • • • OATS, WHEAT.

Many of the contestants were typists of many years' experience, and the performance of Miss Ferris, who is not yet through her course, is deserving of much praise. She wrrote at the rate of 56.1 words a minute for fifteen consecutive min- utes on entirely new matter. Tak- ing into consideration that the aver- ag:e stenographer writes undier 40 words a minute. Miss Ferris has certainly shown more than casual ability. DEMONSTRATION WAS GOOD Oh. everything is bully in this gay world of ours, and all my paths are fully begarlanded with flowers. It's true I have the measles, the shingles and a wen, and bobcats, skunks or weasles have killed my old pray hen; but illness or reverses can't make me sprinkle tears, or hand out vulgar curses that might ofiend your ears. Cold winds no longer hound us. the sky is bright and blue, and spring is all around us, and balmy winds come through. The day is bright and smil- ing and any man's a swine who stands around reviling a world so srood and fine. It's true my teeth are aching, and certain joints are sore, where rheumatism is making itseK a beastly bore; it's true my spotted heifer has foot and mouth disease â€" ^but oh, that scented zephyr, that fragrant vernal breeze! It comes from lands of spices, from islands in the sea, and in a brace of trices, it brings relief to me! This good old world we dwell in, in which we play our game, and paw around and yell in is all the blue prints claim. Sometimes the skies are cloudy and winds chant sad laments; sometimes the days are dowdy and look like four- teen cents; but take things all togeth- er, the world is bright and fair; and much I question whether it's equalled anywhere. â€" Walt Mason. An Accomplished Singer Miss Helen Sparks, teaAer of Dramatic Art in Hamilton schools, j is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. L. ( A. Fisher this week. Miss Sparks is a talented vocalist and delighted ; the large audience in the Methodist i church Sunday evening by her rend- ering of "The Holy City." This young lady has been heard here on several former occasions, and her hearers were unanimously of opinion ( that her voice has considerably im- proved since her last appearance. JPOTATOES WANTED.
