THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE \rEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 193flr LOCAL DISTRICT NEWS FEVERSHAM The annual meeting of the Osprey Farmers' Milling Co., Limited, was held in the Orange Hall here on Jan- uary 22n<i, when the shareholders met to receive the annual financial report, as compiled by the auditors, Mrs. Martha McGirr and Mr. Emer- son Wright. Caah on hand was shown to be diminishing and the credit accounts still to the fore. While some of the old credit accounts were collected last year, new ones have been added. Where will it end? The cash on hand this year is only eighty odd dollars and last year the report showed over three hundred doUarg on hand and a stock in the mill. If anything should occur to the mill property the shares would have to be assessed or money would have to be borrowed and interest paid. The following shareholders were elected as the Board of Direc- tors : Messrs. Em. Hawton, John Hud- son and Hngh Fenwick, who will dir- ect the business of the Company for the coming year. A small percent- age of the shareholders were at the meeting. The annual meeting of the Osprey Municipal Telephone System was held on January 23rd, when there was con- siderable discussion over the finan- cial report and after listening to con- siderable law, not of the Medes and Persians, but of the Railway Board, as presented by the chairman of the Board of the local System, they sett- led down to business and elected the Commissioners for the coming year, which resulted in Messrs. Leslie Poole Harold Fenwick and Geo. Short elect- ed to handle the affairs of the System for the coming year. There were a number of nominations, but the above were elected, Mr. Poole being the new man. A motion sponsored by Mr Fred Pedlar called for the dropping out of the senior Commissioner each year and a new man elected in his place, which was carried. There was also a vote of thanks tendered to the operators of the central ex- change, Mrs. E. Lepard and daugh- ters, the Misses Teressa and Marjory, for the efficient and accommodating service they have rendered ihe public, which was can-ied unanimously. >Ir. and Mrs. Sam Hawton of Stay- ner were visitors with friends in this locality last week.

It is reported that the Pedwell Lumber Co. will buy another stock of logs at their mill on Mr. James Hudson's fai-m on the tenth line this winter. Pretty cold weather this last week with the mercury hovering around siero and below. There w^as a discussion one night a race of 100 yards and return. Well on Tuesday morning they matched their best .sprinters against a horae on the mea.sured 100 yards at the fair grounds and the man beat the horae to the J 00 yard stake but the return 100 yards, well, the horse beat the man of course. 200 yards was too far for an untrained man, 50 yds. and return would have been far enough and then the man would have stood a good chance. Mr. Thoa. Beatty of the 8th line had his leg broken while working in the bush and is at present in the G. & M. hospital at Collingwood.

The head of the church that is Jesus Christ, is right, also the constitution, which comprised the teachings of Jesus, was also right. He said that there were members who were not Christians, as well as Christians who were not members, and impressed on our minds what is meant to be a Christian.

The veteran pioneer couple, Mr. ana Mrs. Donald McMillan, will celebrate the diamond anniversary of theii wedding ( their 60th) on Monday next, February 4th. We, along with a host of friends, wish for them many more recurring celebrations ol the pleasing event. On his next birth- day in March Mr. McMillan will be 86 and Mrs. McMflllan 80 in November.

Mr. and -Mrs. Batchelor, the par- ents of the bride, ace among our old- est and most respected citizens. ,We have seen theii- childi-en grow up around them and have watched their daughter, Gladys, passing through the gi-acious and tender stages that link infancy to girlhood and girlhood to womanhood. We have known few perhaps, better. She possesses a good, sweet and upright nature; we know what she has been as a daugh- ter and We know that she will be the same as a wife. We are sure Mr. Fi-anks is a gentleman, whose ac- quaintance we have not had the pleasure of possessing for very long but whom we hold in high regard and welcome him into our circle of friends. W^e know that he must be a very happy man. May you find in him, Gladys, a ti-ue, tender and faithful husband through life, and may he find in you an amiable and devoted wife. Mlay you both live long to enjoy the deep peace and blessedness of married life. We hope this marriage will join, not only two lives, but two families in a long and lasting friendship. We are glad to have the opportun- ity of having this shower and above all else, to extend to you both our best wishes for a long life of happi- ness and prosperity.

The benefits of having the tobacco industry investigated by the Price Spreads Committee were outlined last week by Prof. Leith of CA-O, Guelph, who said that for last season's crop an average of 25 cents per pound liad been received and the entire crop had been sold with the exception oi some quantities of inferior grades In addition, the carry-over of the 1933 crop has also been disposed of at better prices than had been paid for it in the year when it was harvested. For the l'J34 crop of twenty million pounds of tobacco, the gi-owei-s had received five million dollars, which] was one and a half million dollars more than they had been paid in 1933 for twenty-three million pounds of higher-grade tobacco. Of course there's no use worrying but think of the fun some people have working day and night at it. On account of serious illness for some weeks past your correspond- ent has been unable to repoit the news of this dlstrlct^so a good many items of interest have iMtssed into ob- livion unrecorded. Mr. W. A. Morton has been quite ill with the doctor in attendance, but we are glad to hear that his con- dition has considerably improved. We are sorry to hear that Mabel Blackburn is not improving as fast as we all hoped for. We hope that before long she will be restored to good health again. .Mn-s. W. G.
