Durham Street opposite Claytons shoe store DRUNKEN COWS GAVE ELORA ITS NAME Reminiscences in the Globe recently concerning the early days of the Vill- age of Elora have aroused in the Elora district regarding the origin of Elora's euphonious name, aad a re- markable explanation has been given by Elora's oldest inhabitant. Mr». Molly Ricketts, who is now 102 years old, and who claims to have witnessed the strange episode which, she says, gave Elora its name. The story centres about an early . settler who, with his sons and daugh- ters, eked out an existence by horse- thieving and kindred mysterious crim- inalities. Among other things, the father operated a private still, whose existence was a closely guarded secret to all save himself and his favorite son.. They, however, failed in their oc- cupations, to notice a serious leak in their apparatus, with the result that the spirit, 100 per cent, proof, trickled through the thin floor of the shed where the distilling was done, seeped down through the fertile soil below the cottage, and gradually the whole reach of the river was transformed into a veritable punch bowl. And so it happened that the daughter, Lucia, descending to the river bank one moonlight evening, beheld a weird and wonderful sight. Before her eyes were all the cows in a stage of riotous intoxication. Some of them stood on their hind legs, waving their front ones others danced friskily from side to side, and one animal was swimming out into the spirit-laden river with the evident intention of dying a riotous death. The sight was too much for the poor girl. Her eyes nearly started from her head, she fell upon her knees, and extending her hands to heaven began to pray at the top of her voice. Mr. and Mrs. Ricketts. who were the nearest neighbors, aroused by the awful lamentations, rushed quickly to the scene, closely followed by the girl's father, who, amazed t" thp in- congruous spectacle his daughter made -as she supplicated the invisible Deity, ejaculated, "Ecce, elra," which is Italian for "Look, she prays." So forcibly did this expression strike the minds of the two onlookers that it has been preserved ever since in the name of the village of Elora. So there! SAFETY ZONE GONE By purchasing dummy cops that flip up every time they are knocked down, the Town council has furnished some local autosits with a form of amusement that seems funnier to them than a bank robbery. And by the way they are exercising one would think the bithulithic a mere circus ring. In thus making a plaything of the policeman, the only safety zone that pedestrians might run to when caught at a crossing by dodging cars about, is removed, as the drivers are liaable to wheel over the constable and carry an ill-fated ratepayer with it. A pedestrian is getting to be more hazardous as an insurance risk in Walkerton every day. â€" Herald.

HILL & Co., Limited, Markdale I Wants An Accounting Every year we receive a visit from an agent who is making collections on behalf of the so-called "Free Sani- tarium" at Gravenhurst. In a long period we have not seen a financial statement or a statistical report issu- ed from that institution. We under- stand the government makes certain grants and we know that certain mun- icipalities have been forced to contri- bute and we have reason to believe some very gtnerous donations have been poured into the coffers of the institution. There are rumors around that some are feathering their nests at the expense of the generosity of people who are blindly giving of their means for a cause which has a strong appeal to the humanitarion impulses. A clear, concise statement should be forthcoming. â€" Burks Falls Arrow. Small Town Thoughts (Digby Courier) â-  Just because we live in a small town it does not necessarily mean that we all have only small town minds. The trouble is that we spend too much time thinking small town thoughts. If any one in bur com- munity shows evidence of unusual ability or appears to be more suc- cessful and making more money than the rest of us, we immediately allow some narrow personal prejudice or dislike to influence our reasoned judg- ment, and we go about knocking or belittling that individual. This does- n't help us, and it hinders the jnan who is trying to get somewhere.
