GROUND HOG IN TOWN A curious visitor in town last week was a ground hog, caught on tho main street in town, while on a foraging expedition of some kind. The little animal no doubt was enticed out of its comfortable winter home by the fine weather of Thursday and Friday, only to meet its fate while on its travels. Is that a sign of an open winter?

The office of Deputy-Reeve will be vacant due to the fact that there are not enough voters to qualify for one. Reeve J. A. Davis has been Warden of Grey this year and he was consid- ering retiring, but considerable pres- sure has been brought to bear and he has consented to stand for another term. Deputy-Reeve Purvis, we un- derstand, will revert to the Council. It is very doubtful if Artemesia will have an election, unless some persons are keeping quiet about entering the Council until nomination day. Flesherton nominations will be held in the town hall Friday evening for the offices of Reeve, four Councillors, School Trustees and Cemetery Com- mission. Reeve Down will likely have an acclamation, as also .wUl the Council. New Books at Library Artemesia Township Council met at the Council Chambers, Flesherton, on the 13th day of November, 1939.
