The store and Post Office at Nash- ville, Vaughan Township, was burn- ed to the ground a few nights ago. The building, which is owned by Mr. East Kleinburg, was insured for $650. The contents were fully in- sured. Mr, John Michael will wear the Smith medal during the ensuing year.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 56th, 1936 Owing to the snow storm on Thurs- day night and the high winds on the following day, the snow was greatly banked up in this section of country. I The following members of the Exe- cutive Committee of the Agficultuzal Society met yesterday afternoon to revise the prize list and make ar- rangements for the annual fair on the Queen’s Birthday:â€"W. H. Olubine, W. H. Pugsley, D. Lynett, G. Leek, T. F. McMahon, T. Lloyd, B. Elliott, land H. A. Nicholls, secretary.

WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES FORTY YEARS AGO From Our Issue of March 26th, 1896 I Here’s something for our poultry fanciers. Did you ever stop to think that hard times mean nothing to a hen. She just keeps on digging worms and laying eggs, regardless of what the newspapers say about con~ ditions. If the ground is hard she scratches harder. If it’s dry she digs deeper. If she strikes a rocki ishe works around it. But always 'she digs up worms and turns them into hard shelled profits as well as tender broilers. Did you ever know of one starving to death, waiting for worms to dig themselves to the sur- face? Did you ever hear one cackle because times were hard? Not on your life. She saves her breath for digging and her cackles for eggs. We are digging. So are you. ) Dr. D. C. Smith well known den- tist of Stouffville passed away on iFriday, March 13th and was buried Ion Sunday, March 15th with full Ma- !sonic rites, having been a past D.D. An increase of five mills in the tax rate is forecast for the Town of Newmarket this year. Richmond Hill ratepayers are fortunate in hav- ing a steadily dimlnishing rate. Potatoes sold last week at: $1.25 [per bag on the Stouffville market. A year ago they were selling for 25 cents per bag. The town of Uxbridge has struck a 50 mill tax rate for 1936 which is one mill increase over 1935. At the last meeting of Whitchurch township council the tax collector re- ported $14,000 of the 1935 roll still unpaid. Predictions are now being made that there will be a bountiful flow of sap this spring, and that the 1936 crops will be heavy. It is to be hoped the guessers will be nearer the truth than those who predicted a mild and open winter. Now a United States firm is ad- vertising streamlined tombstones, but we have not heard of any great rush of people wanting to get under them, The village council of Ridgetown, fired their constable because they thought he was getting too much moneyâ€"and they needed it for oth- er purposes.

Then she missed a stride, fell on her side, with a jolt that shook her curls, and the words she used, really must be excused, for she’s one of our best girls! i The County of York claims that the man had never been a resident of York County but had been a resi- dent of Simcoe County prior to his committal to hospital.

V A St. Patrick Supper was held last Friday in the basement of the church under the auspices of the Willing Workers Mission Band. After the supper the regular meeting of the Y.P.U. took place with Nora Rumble presiding. The main item on the program was a debate “Resolved that .every Canadian citizen over 60 years of age should receive a pension of $30 a month." The affirmative won with a very close margin, being up- held by Millie Umehara, Dorothy Wyman and Harry Rumble; negative Mrs. Wilbert Jennings, John Brown and Aubrey Lloyd. The judges were Mabel Jennings, Mr, M. B. Beynon and Rev. G. W. Lynd. Next Friday evening, March 27th, Wesley Y.P.U. will visit the local so- ciety whenlthe same subject will be debated. MISS D.

It was held at the home of Mrs. Umehara on Thursday. A miscellaneous shower was given to Miss Eliza Barker at her home on Monday evening by her many friends. The bride elect was 'the re- cipient of many useful and beauti- ful gifbs. We Wish her every happiâ€" ness and joy in her wedded life.
