A Unique Record An interesting record with horses came to our notice the other day that we believe is unique in the annals of Artemesia township and for that mat- ter of Ontario. In the fifty-eight years of farming by Mr. John Har- grave of Rock Mills and his father, the late Mr. John Hargrave, on theii farm 1% miles east of Rock Mills a team of horses was purchased at that time and have been instrumental fn the raising of 50 colts. During that time the strain of the original team has not been changed, neither has any horse been bought or traded in that time. We believe that this is a record that will be hard to equal in the province. Another interesting angle to the situation is that 42 of tha 50 colts were of the female var- iety. S. S.

SELLING IMMATURE FRUIT UP- SETS THE DO.MESTIC MARKET "Growers who- persist in the prac- tice of sending immature fruit to market must realize that they are gradually robbing themselves, through creating dissatisfied customers." This was the recent statement of Charles T. Broughton, Ontario Marketing Board. Mr. Broughton said that an ijistance had been reported to him where a consumer was forced to hold peaches for ten days after purchasing before the fruit was fit to use. "If we are to maintain even oui present hold on the domestic market, let alone expand it," added Mr. Broughton, "immature fruit should not be offered for sale."

ONT. ^ A very quiet wedding took place on September 17th at the rectory at Clarksburg, when Miss Florence Wilk- inson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilkinson, Duncan, was imited in marriage to Mr. Ross Breadner, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Breadner, Mea- ford, by the Rev. H. K. L. Charlton. The bride was very prettily attired in a govfii of cocoa brow.-? creor8'e''t..' and wore a green coat with black fur trimming and hat to match. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Plummer, Ravenna. Mrs. Plummer wearing rose beige crepe. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Breadner left on a short honeymoon to visit with friends in Toronto. On their return a reception was held at the bride's home, Duncan, when about fifty rela- tives partook of a dainty tea, presided over by Mrs. E. Russell, Rock Mills, The tables were prettily decorated for the occasion in pink and white and centred by a three story wedding cake The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful wedding gifts. On the following Monday evening a num- ber of school mates and friends of the bride met and presented her with a beautiful pair of fibre loom chairs and foot stool, showing the high es- teem in which she was held in the community. The young couple will reside on their farm at Walter's Falls Corner Stone Laid Monday Afternoon At a .short ceremony on Monday afternoon Mr. W. J. Bellamy, Past Master of Prince Arthur Lodge No 333, A.F.&A.M., and the oldest mem- ber of that fraternity, declared tht corner stone of the new Fraternity Hall well and truly laid. Mr. Jos. Blakley, oldest member in the Orange .A.s^,ociation in Ea»i, Grey, deposited the various documents and coin.'; and Mr. W. P. Crossley .sealed the aper- ture in the stone, while Mr, Geo. Long, Master of Prince Arthur Lodge, acted as chairman for the occasion. Rev. W. J. Scott, pastor of St. John's United church, Rev. J. R. Wolsten- croft, pastor of the Baptist church and Rev. M. M. Bennett each gave short addresses. Rev, Scott congratulated both lodges for their efforts in erecting such a fine building for Lodge work, especially their confidence in the future by building in the time of a so-called depi-ession. Rev. Bennett, in his addi-ess, stated that such co- operation between the Masonic and Orange Lodges was the spirit of the day, while Rev. Wolstencroft spoke on the high ideals displayed in the Orange constitution. The documents deposited in the corner stone contained the names of all the members of both Prince Ar- thur Lodge No. 333 and L. O. L. No. 2855, which Lodges are erecting the fine building, the current issue of The Advance and Monday's issue of a Toronto daily, besides a sample of the coinage and stamp issues of the day. Monday morning the laying of the brick wall commenced with two mas- ons at work and it is expected that six will be shortly employed on the laying of brick. Rug brick is being used for the outside of a solid brick wall. The large steel beams are being used as .support for the upper floor which will assure a solid well- built building, which will be a credit to the two Lodges concerned and a decided asset to the appearance of the village main street. "Dhe C.P.R. has served notice that it intends to apply to the Railway Board for permission to close the sta- tion at Credit Forks. Inspector Bald of West Bruce de- precates the reduction made in teach- ers' salaries. He points out that of the 82 teachers in his inspectorate only 4 in rural schools are receiving SI, 000 or over, while two are teach- ing for half.
