®()je /to^^rt^tt %hmxiu. Vol.45 No. 13 Flesherton, Ontario, Aug. 27, 1924 W.H.Thurston & Son, Proprietors : EUGENIA 1 ,â- â- -< The visit of the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen here on Thursday was one to be long remembered by the people of this district. It was estimated that over two thousand autos poured in during the course of the day and between six and seven thousand people picnicked and took advantage of the up-to-date conveniences of our Park, of which all are unanimous in proclaiming one of the most ideal spots for a gathering so large as was accommodated here on Thursday. The Hon. Mr. Meighen, Hon. Geo. S. Henry, Ontario Minister of Public Works and Highways, together with the many other prominent si>5akers, who took part in the progrram of the afternoon, was right royal, and a very enthusiastic crowd listened with bated breath to every statement made by these men who play such a prom- â- **â-  inent part in the making or breaking of our country. It can well be said of Mr. Meighen that he i.s a states- man in every sense of the word and a man of whom Canada can well be proud. His keen eye took in the pict- uresque beauty of our park and did â- > not forget to express himself in high terms of praise. The Dundalk and Markdale combined bands were ap- preciated very highly by tha crowd, as it always takes a real good band to take the lead on an occasion of this kind. The day was ideal in every respect and a success from start to finish, not an acident occurring throughout the day. Everything was ararnged by our local association here for the comfort and accommoda- tion of the visitors. Nothing was left undone, and we hope to have the pleasure at soiu? future date of entertaining a similar crowd to listen to other prominent men. The W.M.S. of the Union church here will pack their bale on Thurs- day of this week at the church. Service will be held in the church here Sunday a.m. at the usual hour. The pulpit will be supplied in the absence of our pastor. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Lehman and little son, Hedley, together with Mrs. Williams, motored up and spent Thursday at the latter"s home here. Mr. Jacob Williams had the misfor- tune to have his knee kicked by a horse one day the past week, break- ing the cartilage and severing the ligaments, which will lay him up for a time, though the knee is doing • nicely at present. ' Mr. Stanley Campbell was struck with a ball at the game on Thursday which necessitated a couple of stitches above the left eye. Mrs. Chas. Turner Sr.. and daugh- ter, Mrs. McGruthers, of Orange, N.J., arrived home on Saturday. Mrs. Turner is much improved in health. Mrs. McGruther will remain for a two weeks' \'isit before returning home. A shower is being given to the bride-to-be. Miss Addie Wilson, this Tuesday evening.whose wedding takes place on Thursday of this week to Mr. Roy McMillian of Markdale. Mrs. A. W. Rowe of Dundalk, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Dynes an dchlidren of Knoxville, Tennessee and Mr. Tal. Dynes of Minneapolis, were guests of Mrs. Large on Monday of this week. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foulds of Winnipeg are guests of the latter's uncle. Mr. Leonard Latimer. Mrs. Latimer visited friends at Alliston the past week. Rusesll McMuHen has returned home from Smith's Falls. Miss Dell Wilson leaves this week for Keewatin, where she has secured a school for the coming year. Little Kathleen Pedlar has return- ed home from Meaford. where she has visited her grandmother. Mrs. Marshall, for the past three weeks. Messrs. Basil and Burton Carruth- ers left for Osokomoga, Sask., on Thursday last, where they will en- gage in the harvest. Quite a number from here spent Sunday at Wasaga Beach. Mr. Boyce has purchased from A. Hoy the house and lot directly across from the school and is fixing it up into a neat little cottage. We wel- come Mr. and Mrs. Boyce to our village. No change has been made in the ad- mission price to the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition since 1879 when the doll- are was worth thre« times its present FEVERSHAM A very large crowd attended the public auction sale of the Hodgins estate on Tuesday of last week, by the Toronto Trusts Co., who are admini- strators. The personal property was sold at fair prices, the crops cheap, but the farms were not disposed of. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hawton of Stay- ner were visitors in our village last week. Miss Tillie Kerton is holidaying in this village with her grandmother, Mrs. John Kerton. Mr. and Mrs. Harv^ Perigo motor- ed from the Queen City on Wednes- day and are visiting with the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Pe»igo. Mr. and Mrs. Mowitt of Peterboro are visiting with the latter's sister, Mrs. Wm. Mullin Sr. The former is school inspector for the Peterboi-o inspectorate. Inspector Mowitt call- ed on the Rev. A. Mills while in this locality, having been teacher when the latter went to high school. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Whewell of Hamilton are spending a few days with the latter's father, Mr. S. Brown- ridge. Our junior football team is coming along fast. On Saturday the 16th they played Collingwood juniors on the home field and scored three to nothing against Collingwood. On the following Tuesday they played a return match in Collingwood with a score of five to nothing in their favor. We'll tell the world that when Brackenbury and Henderson get the ball and Brack, gets a shot on goal, â€" well, there is a goal scored, a.< fev,- goalkeepers czn stop the ball. Brackenbury, Henderson, McMullen and Fawcett are all fast and for jun- iors have combination and speed ex- celled by few. Another nice thing in hoth the teams was the good sports who played the game in a sportsman- like manner. Watch out, Feversham seniors, the juniors will be after your scalps next, so keep your hair cut short. Well, John has got a car at last and now he has room in it for two, and no doubt will be liking the company some of the ladies with bouquets of Roses in their belts, and red ones at drives. Some of the rose gardens are in bloom now so we can expect to see some of the ladis wieth bouquets of roses in their belts, and red ones at that. 'Nuif said. Houses are being repaired and the pleased look on the faces of some of our young men would lead us to be- lieve the fair one has said yes. A nuniber of our vilagers attended the Conservative picnic at Eugenia, where the speaker of the day was the leader of the Opposition at Otta-. wa, Hon. Arthur Meighen, whose top- ic was Canada and protection for Canadians and the closer unity of producer to consumer. .A consider- able difference to what we had heard other politicians say rather antag- anizing those two factions and preach- ing that everyone had their knife out for the farmer. Mr. Meighen de- clares that the consumer can't do without the producer, neither can the producer do without the consumer, which we have always maintained was only reasonable. Mr. Meighen is a forceful and pleasing speaker and his speech was applauded to the limit. Our commercial school will open again on September 2nd with Mr. C. M. Morris .tgain as teacher. This will be the fifth year for him to teach this school. We understand that Miss .\. Baird of Mitchell has been engaged to teach our public school for the coming year. In the football tournament on Sat- urday the scores stood as follows: the first game Strathavon scored one goal •igainst Swnton aPrk's none. The next game Feversham worsted the Collingwood Scottish 2-0. leaving Feversham and Strathavon to play off Strathavon scoring one goal in this game, leavng them winners of the prize. The sad part of the story is that one of the Collingwood men was brutal enough to deliberately kick Jimmy Davidson of the Fe\'ersham team and injure him so that he had to be carried otf the field and under- go a critical operation next morning to save his life. .\ great pity such men are ever let on to a field of sport. What he ought to get is ten years in Kingston at hard labor and a few doses of the cats, as well. We had a fine day and a large crowd. only for the acton of this poor sport. CEYLON Mr. J. C.
