Wright of <'arbon, Ata., visited with the for- iiier's cousin, Mrs-. Geo. Lawler, last week. He also visited the scenes of hi.s boyhood at Eugenia, wher^? he .vas born. He remembered well the old home, where tiie post office now is and says it hasn't changed much c-xcept for the addition to the eas-t side, where a wing was added. The falls, of course, are not wliat thev used to be, now only a trickle. He missed the old home of Mr. Robert Purdy. who kept the post office, and Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Purdy's sister. CEYLON PRESENTATION TO GOROX NICHOL AND BRIDE For the past few months efforts have been made to open up the Beaver Valley for the benefit of ski aiithusiaats of Ontario and Ohese efforts have now resulted in the for- mation of the Bfeaver Valley Ski Company for the construction of a ski tow on the hill .-ieciion of Mr. Frank Davis' farm, east of Vande- â- eur. Entrance to the ski-ing will be from the valley road, where th« tow will be located. Mr. W.

Cooper of Xfarkdale. The work is being started this Wednesday after- noon, when the first sod will b«i turned. Tlie program of building the flo- est ski tow in Cnada is being tinder taken with thg view of making :hkl district the winter playground at Ontario and with the formation of hills and accessibility for ski en- thusiasts, the dr\'.m should be mor* than realized. - Ross MeFarland, one of Ontario's foremost ski instructors, and chief instructor at Limbcrlost Lodge, Huntsville, for the past four years, will give ski instruction to the local ptopie and to his large following rf ski enthusiasts, and will reside in Flesherton during the months when ^ki-ing is supreme.

B. Chard. Taxes arc as inevitable as. death, but we can receive the t'omier with more grace than the latter, althoug'h the the former hurts more and we won't know too much about the latter.
