(Durham Chronicle) The annual meeting of the South- East Grey Liberals was held in the hall here yesterday. The attendance was small, but representatives were present from many parts of the const- ituency and the meeting was regarded as satisfactory by the management. Officers were elected as follows: President, C. Witthun, Hanover; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. J.S. Knech- tel, Hanover; 2nd Vice-President, D.T. Wright, Dundalk; 3rd Vice-Presi- dent Gordon Geddes, Durham; Sec- retary, S.B. Clarke, Hanover; Assis- tant Secretary, Albert Knechtel Hanover; Auditors, George Binnie, Mrs. Graff. The advisibility of having a picnic during the summer was discussed at 3ome_ length and a committee was appointed to make arrangements, when an effort would be made to have Premier King as one of the speakers. Priceville, or vicinity of Prceville. was considered the most central part of the constituency and received the support of the convention. Mr. W. Calder at this point raised a question as to change likely to be made in the redistribution. To his Hon. Duncan Marshall, who was present, advised that the Greys hav- ing near the unit of population, was not to be changed. This, he said, was based on information just received from Ottawa, and may be regarded as official. Hon. Duncan Marshall, an old Bruce boy from near Chesley. and long in public and political life was the chief speaker of the meeting. He was a former minister of agriculture in the Province of Alberta and has large farm possessions in his West- ern home. He is now organizer in the Liberal interests, a position he held formerly some fifteen or twenty years ago. He is a fluent speaker, has a good personality and has a penchant for taking a drive at any- thing savoring of Toryism. A vote of confidence in the ability and integrity of Premier King was carried with hearty applause, and later a vote was tendered the speak- er for his able address. THIEVES GOT AWAY WITH ABOUT $80.00 W. J. Stewart & Sons, grocers, met with quite a heavy loss on Monday afternoon when some expert thief extracted a pocketbook from the back of the till which contained between $70 and $80. No clue as yet has been found as to whom the thief may be, but whoever it was it is hoped that conscience will make it so un- pleasant for the culprit that restitu- tion will be made. SUCCESS WITH FOXES. Mr. James Dargavel of the Rock Mills Fox Ranch has had wonderful success with his breeding pens this spring. There are 28 - oung foxes from five mothers. The youngest of these is five weeks old and therefore all are considered as having passed the danger point. Another breeder in this township is Mr. Chas. Moore of Victoria Corn- ers who is also having success at the fox raising game, despite his loss last year of a couple of the older ones when they escaped and in diff- erent ways being killed. This year Mr. Moore has seventeen pups from seven foxes, one giving birth to six pups. There is money in black fox( raising when one gets the idea of" feeding and caring for them.
