Nominations Being Held In Flesherton And Artemesia Nominations for the Council of the Township of Artemesia and the Vill- age of Flesherton are being held on Friday of this week. The Township nomination will be held in the after- noon and the Village nomination in the evening. This year a familliar face will not be seen at the Arte- mesia nomination, that of the late Mr. W. J. Bellamy, who presided over the preliminaries for 62 meet- ings and 28 in the Village of Flesh- erton. Clerk Alex. Cameron will preside in Artemesia and Clerk C. J. Bellamy in Flesherton. The annual financial statement of the Township of Artemesia has been prepared by Treasurer Alex. Camer- on a nd has been printed, being avail- able for distribution at the Nomina- tion meeting. The statement shows a healthy state of the township's financial standing. Reeve John A. Davis will be up for re-election again this year, as will his councillors, Frank Betts, J. MeLoughry and Henry Tucker. The latter caine into the Council in the spring when Councillor I. B. Whitta- ker received the appointment of Township Road Superintendent. Mr. Robt. Purvis, a councillor for many years has retired after giving good service and his seat will have to be filled. Whether any other ratepay- ers will be after an appointment Is not known at present.

Deer Were Flighty One week of deer hunting in the Flesherton did not result in a great number of deer being brought down. Quite a large number were teen within three miles of town, but they were very elusive and hard to locate a t the proper time. Three deer were being chased from swamp to swamp within two mils of town and escap- ed all week. Saturday evening at dusk they were seen staaiding on the road about thirty yards in front of the occupants of a car, but there was not a gun handy. Emerson McKillop and Albert Sparks captur- ed theirs the second day of the hunt and missed other good shots, as was the experience of most of the hunt- ers. Others who are now supplied with venison include Jas. Oliver of the O.D.R.. Jas. Turner of Laurel, hunting south Of Priceville, W. J. Chard, Leslie Chard and Arthur Chard. We understand that about 20 deer were taken out of the valley, north of Kimberley, by resident and outside hunters. The deer hunt was very successful this year, as far as the government was concerned, as they sold hundreds of licenses to hunters, scores of whom went home sadder and wiser without their deer, but enjoyed a fine holiday with real fall weather. MEMORIES The times I've groused about that room And those two careless boys, They always left a litter there Of clothes, and books, and toya; There were stamps and syrup labels, Hockey sticks and pads; I've always vowed there never were Two more untidy lads. Nowadays when cleaning up th house, This room I need not touch; Nothing's out of pla^e there now, And no one knows h w much I'd give to pick their treasures up, Clear chairs and make the beds, And later see there, resting, Two dear unruly heads. Mothers, wtih your children dear, Be gentle, do not scold, For while they're at your table You are blessed a hundred fold; Just now you are their little world, You are all they need to know; Be happy while you have them, Some day you'll miss them so.
