Fifty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Pritchard were married at Blantyre, Ont., by Rev. Mr. Stevenson, pastor of the Presbyterian church. This esteemed couple have been residents of Vande- leur for over forty years. They have raised a family of three â€" Rev. R. G. Pritchard of Neepawa, Man.. Mrs. R.

Dr. Jamieson of Durham, formerly member of the Legrislature for South Grey, is to be oljfered a big position by the Government. Last Saturday's Toronto Globe says that it is stated he is slated for a mem- bership on the Liquor Commission, with the probability of being offered the Chairmanship. Dr. Jamieson himself is not talk- ing on the matter, but it is the opinion of those who know him best both in South Grey and Toronto, that Premier Ferguson could not make a better choice for this important po- sition, made necessary by the recent voting throughout the province fav- oring government control. Dr. Jam- ieson is a man of vast experience and great knowledge is a temperance man in the truest sense of the word, and we know of no one who could handle a position of this size with more credit to himself and the Gov- ernment. His fitness for the position is recognized by both supporters and opponents in this part of the country, and his experience in business, life and in the handling of men woulj be of great value to any government about to embark on such a new ven- ture as Government Control. The Control policy in the distribution of liquor is to be a strict one, and it will require a pood man at the head of things. To our mind, Dr. Jamieson is the man, and we will be pleased to hear of his appointment. PROTON TAX DISPUTE In connecton with the taxes of Proton township for 1924 a difference arose between the treasurer, R. D. Armstrong, and the tax collector, Jno. Aldcom, as to the amount of money paid by the collector to the treasurer. There was discrepancy of $345 some- where. The treasurer sued the col- lector for the amount alleged to have been short and the Tong-delayed case was heard by Judge Sutherland at Owen Sound on Tuesday. The de- cision was given against the plaintiff, who will be required to make good the 1345 and the costs of the ease. C. R. McKeonn acted for the plaintiff and W. D. Heaiy for the defendant.â€" Dundalk Herald. Two Toronto men cut 300 evergreen trees from farms near Orangeville and took them to Toronto for sale as Christmas trees. The men were captured and had to make restitu- tion and pay costs. One of the losers got |50 for 70 trees. It was rather a lean Christmas for the two enterprising employees of Santa Claus.

A PROTEST We, the balance of the sommittee and oficers of the Flesherton Tennis Club, wish to state to the public that we believe Mr. Findlay, as chairman of the committee, had the work done on the new tennis court in the park as cheaply and wisely as it was possible ! under existing circumstances. Signed : E. C. Murray, A. Tumbull, Mrs. E. C. Murray, Mary I. Patton, Mrs. A. Tumbull, Mayme McTavish. The above protest is in answer to some criticisms offered by Mr. Dan McTavish on nomination night and while not one dollar of the municipal- ity's money was spent on the tennis court, yet this was all Mr. McTavish :ould bring against Mr. Findlay. â€" THOS.
