FINE OLD LIQUOR CACHE FOUND IN It is said that opportunity knocks but once at your door and when it does, it pays to heed its call. Oppor- tunity knocked one day last week at the door of a couple of workmen not •far from Durham, so the story goes, and the report states further that they took full advantage of it. Ac- cording to the rumor reaching this of- fice, the workmen, tearing down an old fence and removing timber and •Other .debris, unearthed a cache that contained sony'ten bottles of liquor which had /firiginally been stored away in an old trunk and apparently buried by the original owner, who either forgot where he had laid his prize, or wa» prevented by some oth- er reason from returning and claim- ing; it. The liquor, we are told, was "fine old stuff" that could be taken without the usual contortions gone through in consuming the mod- em brand. In fact, the Chronicle was told that one of the finders em- itted one of the most satisfied "Ah's" after a hearty swig that had been heard in the community in years. (When unearthed, there was nothing left of the trunk in which it had been originally cached excepting the iron bands. Cached with the liquor, we are told, were other articles that would lead one to believe that the depositor intended to return at a lat- er date, but was prevented by some cause from reclaiming his belongings. In a case pf this kind, we suppose "finders are keepers," but it is hoped the residents of thi.< section do not start demolishing their fences and digging up their swamps in the hope that tMey, too, might be I*cky. â€" Durham Chronicle. Connty Road Work OoJ^ley Road Surveying of the new cut-off near the Union church on the Valley Road was finished last week and tenders for the construction of the road will likely be requested soon. This road is being constructed to escape the heavy drifts of the road west of the church, where, it is said, is the only place on the road that impedes motor traffic over the Valley Road in the winter months. With the new road it is expected that this difficulty will be overcome. Another piece of work is being done that was very dangerous to the public. This spot is the elbow of the road from Eug'enia to Kimberley, one mile south of Kimberley, near the townline of Euphrasia and Artemesia. Mr. W. A. Gordon commenced on Monday morning with a number of men and teams to make the fill and widen the road at this point. A number of cars have come to grief at this point when they stalled and ran backwards over the steep bank. Four Heifer Calves lo One Year A Record Four heifer calves inside a year is the record of a cow owned by Mr. Albert Stewart of town. The sec- ond set of twins arrived last week and both are doing fine. These calves haye a wonderful homing instinct and love comfort, as it will be remem- bered that one of the older twins wandered into his residence and came to rest on one of the beds in a bed- room on the first floor. We are just waiting to hear of some new escapade that these calves will next encounter. We believe that the rec- ord of this cow will be difficult for any other bovine to equal, even though they might have ambitions toward that goal. SPORTJIEVIEWS Kimberley is now resting comfort- ably at the top of the race in the Centre Grey League, due to their win in Dundalk on Thursday last, when they were victorious 8-1, This was the first loss for Dundalk, but it toppled them to second place. Moun- tain pitched for Dundalk, but had two bad innings, when his team mati-.? failed to back' him up when most needed. ALLIGATOR LOST NEAR ARTHUR Some time ago we reported that Mr. Gordoa Green had received a pair of alligators from North Carolina. Now, unfortunately, he has but one, the female of the pair having made good her escape. Mr. Green took the feminine reptile to his boarding Flesherton has a mathematical house in Arthur Township, where she I fiance to reach the play-off games managed to get away. He attempt Elmer Ellis, left himded star of the Kimberley team of former years, again demonstrated that he still has plenty of talent, when he allpwed only one run for Dundalk, and it unearn- ed. Elmer has not been in the box very much this year, but his presence was certainly felt by Dundalk on Thursday. They are fortunate in having t\vo capable twirlers in Ellij and Lawrence. Right from the stT'^ Kimberley hit Mountain's ofllerii.. , and Earl Dillon connected for the circuit once, with none on. 40th Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Smith celebrat- ed the fortieth anniversary of their wedding on Saturday, July 29th. A mock wedding was held, which was greatly enjoyed by the immediate family, all of whom were home for the occasion. After the ceremony a sumptuous repast was served, during which a charivari was staged by the neighbors under the supervision »t ,W'. J. Bellamy. After the wedding lunch the happy couple departed be- hind "Old Dobbin" for parts unknown. Best washes are extended to this es- timable couple for many more years together.

TRUCK LOAD OF HAY FIRE TAKES Considerable excitement took plact on Josephine Street, opposite Homuth and Bennett's Service Station about 5.30 Tuesday afternoon. Ed. Mil- ton's truck driven by Stewart Scott, was trucking hay in from the country and when it reached the above men- tioned place the hay from some un- known cause took fire. The firemen were quicKiy on the scene and after getting the fire under control the truck was driven across the sidewalk ore to the Bell Factory,* lot and the hay dumped, where it con- tinued to smoulder. The truck was also left there although it was able to move under its own power. The hay was a total loss. The top of the cab of the truck was burned as was a portion of the seat. The platform part of the truck was also damaged, but outside of this the truck appear- ed unharmed. â€" Wingham , .•Vdvan'L'e- Times. Village Has Advantage We are sometimes tempted to won- der why it is that so many people either do not see, or will not setf, the advantage of village or even of very small town life. Instead, they crowd into large cities where thousands have crowded befors them, thinking, ap-' parently. that if a living is to be found anywhere, it will be in the great centres of population. Cheaper living â€" rental, food, fuel and some- times, also certain types of clothing, are not the only advantages of village life. There are opportunities for turning the honest dollar that do nqt exist in the city. In the cities the little odd job is not done by the in- dividual, but by a company, and com- panies demand dividends, and theii administrators demand fat salaries. In the city the individual lives to support the middleman. In the village, if he has any snap about him, the individual raises mu.^h of his food. If the individual has no snap about him you can realize that he will not fi-o far in the city, v^'-ere keenness fs a iine qua non. â€" Mail & Empire. but 'to do so have to come out on top in every encounter. This Thursday they again meet Vandeleur at the U. F. 0. picnic- at Durham, it being Vandeleur's home game. The game is called for 3.30 p.m. Vandeleur won from Ravenna on Friday at home 13-10. The Beav.er Valley north lads have run into lots of trouble, as they have lost evei-y game played, but not by very large margins. More batting strength on the team would make a great differ- ence to them. Reg. Hutton won the game for the vans by a home run with bases load- ed. Reg. has been hitting the ball hard in every game and is a big fac- tor in Vandeleur's three victories. The League Standing P. W. L. Pet.

Maxwell, was held a: the Orange Hall, Max^vell, or Tuesday evening, July 35th. A splen- did and tasty supper was served by the ladies of the church. A fine ball game was played on Wm. Seeley's farm between Feversham and the 8th line, Osprey. Feversham won by a score of 2-1. The Feversham team gave back t^eir prize money to the church funds, which fact is much appreciated and speaks well of the team. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Poole and Mr. Clarence Findlay gave some splendid and lively music at the open- ing of the program in the ©range Hall, also between the acts of the play. The Duntroon Dramatic Club gave a very humorous play entitled "Geoi-ge In A Jam." The ;play was well given and much enjoyed by the audience which filled the hall Rev. M. F. Oldham acteil as chairman. The receipts amounted to $35.00. OVERDUE SLBSCRIPTIONS -A. newspaper has to depend upon its subscribers as well as its adver- tisers to furnish the necessary fin- ancial support to enable its publica- tion. These are difficult times, and extremely so for the average news, paper. Individually subscription ac- counts are small but in the aggregate they form a considerable volume ol money. The Advance would apprec- iate it if subscribers whose accounts are in arrears will remit promptly. The address label tells the date to which your subscription is paid. t It isn't meant as it sounds, but a United Stataes railway advertises â- 'Shower baths for women in the ob- servation car." VOTERS' LIST, 1933, TO,WXSHIP OF ARTEMESLA Dundalk tax rate has been struck at 40 mills, three less than last year. Kidnappers are usually found op- erating where they think the police may be found napping.
