McTavish, of the East back line, near Markdale, sold to Mr. John Wiley, Junior, his re- nowned stock farm. The buildings are the fuiest of their kind and equip- ped with electric light, power and all modem conveniences. The sale price of $12,000 is very moderate when the labor 'saving conveniences are con- sidered. Mr. Wiley may have immed- iate possession, as a couple of weeks ago Mr. Mercrr moved to his other farm in Markdale suburbs. F. W. Duncan Buy* Vacant Land Alongside From Mr. Armstrong WILL BUILD STORE Geo. Brackenbury Will Open New Garage â€" Building Program Extensive A deal of considerable proportion was consummated last week when Mr. W. A. Armstrong purchased from Mr. Thos. Clayton the fine lot and brick business block on the main corner in town, which for years has been occupied by Mr. Clayton as a boot and shoe store. Mr. Armstrong has for some time held an option on this property, and on Saturday last closed up the deal Mr. Clayton will continue in possession for a time \ in order to dispose of the stock he is at present carrying. Dther deals are pending for the resale of the Clayton block which will be announced shortly. The land between Mr. Armstrong's block and the Clayton block ha's been purchased by Mr. Prank W. Duncan, hardware merchant, who will begin at once the erection of a brick hard- ware store thereon. Excavation will commence as soon as the frost is out of the ground. These properties are some of the most valuable business sites in town and the resale of the vacant lot will help fill up the front street with a modem up-to-date building that will vastly improve the town. ADOmOKAL LOCALS Miss Hattie Cole of Toronto spent the past few days with her sister, fiCrs. Chas. Stewart. Meaford had an operating surplus of I40OO on their hydro for the past year. Mr. Jim Wilson has rented Mr. Malcolm Leitch's residence on Syden- ham street and will move- thereto the end of the present month. Miss A. D. Pope, deaconess of the Upper Canada Tract .Society, is in Fred McTavish of Oshawa is *o^"> soliciting funds for that worthy and cause. Last year Fleshertoin gave 119.50, which the Society greatly ap- Markdale Young Man Fine $50 and Costs Two young men from Markdale ap- peared in police court here on Tuesday , before Magistrate Creasor of Owen Sound on charges of having liquor in an unlawful place on the evening of , February 22nd last. One young man i pleaded guilty and the other one was j discharged with a warning. The fine â-  was set at |50 and costs. { The case arose out of the young j men having liquor at a dance near i this place that night which had been secured from a doctor's prescription, and drinking it on the premises. A legal controversy took place between the Magistrate and Inspector Beckett, who laid the charges on various tech- nicalities and the one casa. was not able to be proven. The evidence giv- en by Inspector Beckett brought out that one of the young men had secur- ed eleven prescriptions for six ounce bottles of whiskey and one prescrip- tion for one quart from the dispen- sary in Toronto during a period of three weeks. The town hall was well filled to hear these cases. Mr. WiU Moore placed his motor P*'"!***'!- "Hjus on the station route for the first The Easter Thankoffering meeting time this spring on Monday. Messrs. John Waunch and Alet. of the Woman's Misionary Society will be held in the Sunday school room McKay left Tuesday for Midhurst, to-^o"^^ (Th""«J*y) ** ^ p.m. As where they win work for the C.P.R. Mr. Jack Dow attended the first Iroquois Falls-Owen Sound game in Toronto Thursday last. Mr. Jack Kai'stedt, teacher near Corbetton, spent the week end at his home 'here. Mr. Geo. McTavish spent a couple of days in Toronto and attended the Iroquois Falls-Owen Soufa<| h(|ckey game on Saturday night. Miss Pearl McMaster of the Owen Sound hospital, and friend, Miss Bell, spent the week end at the former's home here. Mrs. W. C. White, Ceylon, will hold this is the last meeting of the year it i'3 hoped there will be a large turnout and a generous offering made. "Go ye into all the world and make dis- ciples of all nations." The social held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. W. Hickling Friday evening of last week was a decided success. The large rooms were not uncomfortably crowded, the contests were entered into with spirit, and each one seemed determined to assist the other one to have J^n enjoyable even- ing. There was an abundance of eats and over thirteen dollars was realized. D. McTavish & Son have begun to demolish the old frame stable and driving shed in connection with the Munshaw House, which they purchas- ed from Mr. Welton two years ago. The destruction of this old building will remove an eyesore from the main street, and no longer will the glaring advertising horror of an overgrown tobacco sign offend the aesthetic eye. L. LEPPARD NEW MGR. IN OSPREY CENTRAL Mr. L. Leppard of Feversham will be the new manager of the Osprey Municipal Telephone System exchange at Feversham on and the eight of April next. Tenders were called for position and sevn applications were received, Mr. Leppard's tender being accepted. Mr. Thos. Conron has been manager for teh past few years and gave real good satisfaction. The exchange is in Mr. Conron's residence, which will be purchased, subject to the Ontario Railway Board's consent, we understand. Another new business will open up in the near future when Mr. George Brackenbury will open up an auto re- pair shop in the building erected by Mr. John Wright, next to the Mc- Tavish garage, and will open up either the first or the fifteenth of April. Mr. Brackenbury has secured Mr. Fred Mathewson of town as the mechanic to work with him. THE SNOW WENT FAST The robins are around in large numbers now, the [first one being observed here on Thursday last. Commencing on Friday laat the snow disappeared very fast and now there is neither good sleighing nor wheeling on any of the roads. An attempt is being made to have the Ontario Gov- ernment snow plow come up and clear the main highway of snow to allow the motor traffic to go through on the highway. So far this winter has been one of the mildest on record and some people are sceptical of it continuing so, saying that we will Just The building program does not only include business places but a couple of residences will also be erected this , . .^ • ^-^ tr tTT A k i_ -11 make up for it m the spring, summer.
