I Some wild animals have been creat- ing havoc among sheep and young cat- ,tle within a small section on the east I side of the township, near the Irish j Lake. Within a tract about two miles long by one-and -a-half wide sheep - j have been killed to the value of nearly I $1500, and several hundred dollars' I worth of young cattle were killed and !has not yet been discovered. Some j mauled. Just what the depredators ! are has not yet been discovered.

It is thought that he exerted himself too much as he was seized with heart trouble on the train and never recovered. Tie had intended to stay in. PalmerstoT^ to see a hockey game and then go hime to Durham on the hockey spec'al. Mr. Calder was one of the leading citizens of Durham and one of the -best known men i i Grey County. He was 68 years of nge. He was in the insurance business for a great many years. He served in all the municipal offices in Durham. In 1915 he wasi Warden of Grey County. He was also a great sportsman and known widely among curlers. He j attended the hospital in Owen Sound i a week before his death. He leaves his wife and one daughter. The i funeral took place on Friday after noon and was largely attended. Another thaw is with us. This is your home paper; send in all the news you can. Mr. Fred Mathewson was in Owen Sound on Monday.

Mr. Jas. Ferris of Toronto is vis- iting his brother, A. B. Ferris, in town.

Wurts of Duff, Sask. | «"«^«'i **»« '"^s of his mother, Mrs. is on an extended visit with her sister [ Marsha Ramage, who passed away the work of lynx. After you have read the details you may take your choice. It is conceded that a pair of animals are doing the work. ,The tracks have been seen. These are large, roundish tracks such as a lynx would make, or they might be wolf [tracks. One of the animals was seen ' on one occasion but only a glimpse was had of it. Mr. Hank Noble of Mlarkdale was out fox hunting when his hound came tearing out of a swamp, pursued by some animal. Mr. Noble only got a glimpse of the ani- mal as it turned and made back into the swamp. The beast, whatever it was, had made a gash in the dog's hip. The dog could not be persuaded to return to the swamp. So far as we know, this was the only time that the animal or animals have been seen. It is difficult to believe that either dog or lynx would assault and kill a two-year-old stser, and several steers â- from one to two years old have been killed or worride. The Township coun- cil of Glenelg paid out last year $1460 from the sheep fund, but there is no provision in the Act for remuneration Dr. E. C. Murray of town has pur-j chased the Clialmer's United church j Vl-.A' property in Flesherton. This ! was affected at a congregational meet-j ing of St. John's United church, which ' was held on Monday evening, accord- 1 ing to announcements on Sunday when . a large turn out of members and ad-1 herents was present. After talk- ing church matters over for some time Dr. MuiTay made an offer toj purchase Chalmers church and' church property, which has lain' vacant since union. This offer was accepted and the necessary papers] prepared stating all the facts of the case. These were sent to the Pres- bytery, which met in Owen Sound on I Tuesday afternoon. About 5.30 the Victor Bowes and McPherson will be in FLESHERTON FRIDAY, FEB. 10th, 1928. to purchase any number of horses, sound and in good condition. ' Highest prices will be paid for first class animals. news was received that the sale had| been confirmed. The deeds of the sale have since been made out. Later on it is hoped that this fine edifice' can be utilized by this village as a! Community Hall, and a move in! that direction may be made in thej near future. j Old Resident of - Artemesia Passes At the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Stoddart, Paisley, there passed away Mrs. Jacob Parliament Sunday, | Jan. 29th. Though she had reached j the great age of 90 years, the deceased enjoyed good health until about two months ago, when she began to fail. The immediate cause of death was ap- oplexy. Mrs. Parliament's maiden name was Jemima Bellamy. She was born at Brighton, afterwards moving to Cannington, where she was united in marriage to the late Jacob Parliament, for calves or steers killed, so that all ; who predeceased her 16 years ago.' these are a total loss to the owners. • They carne to Artemesia township 68 1 When one reads over the appended years ago and in 1892 moved to Pais- list of cattle destroyed by these ma- ley.
