The Men’s Trebles Tournament, Our new fire alarm siren was put into practical use last Thursday morning when a hurry up call was put in for help to fight the fire that resulted in the complete destruction of the barn buildings on the farm of John Grant one-half mile east of Hagerman. It is agreed that sponâ€" taneous combustion was the direct cause of the conflagration. A horse, a calf, a pig, two hundred bushels of grain and all of this season‘s hay are included in the loss which was partly cov‘ered by insurance. The farm is known to many as the Can- ning homestead, paSsing‘ into the possession of the Grant family some twenty years ago. The fire brigades of both Unionville and Markham de- serve credit for the able assistance given in fighting the spreading of the fire into nearby grain fields. During the tea hour when refreshâ€" ments were served by the Umm- ville ladies Mrs. Whtkins of Don Mills expressed on behalf of the visitors a cordial “Thank you" {or the courtesy shown by the sister 01- ganization.

EBENEZER UNITED CHURCH These men have given the best of their lives, their health, their limbs. in order that we might continue to enjoy such blessings as Public Read- ing Libraries. It’s the least a grate- ful community could‘ do through their Public Library Board, is to offer an opportunity to such men to earn their living. Instead they give it to a single man holding a lucrative position elsewhere. All honour to our Reeve for his stand on this mat- ter. It’s too bad there are not more like him on our Public bodies in Richmond Hill. There is too much street corner and telephone lobbying for positions in this community. Accept every ap- plicant on their merit, with an eye to the taxpayers purse, should be the motto of all our public bodies. It might be beneficial Mr. Editor if you would publish the names of the present members of the Public Lib- rary Board. Rev. J. D. Cunningham Sunday, August 9th 10 a.m.â€"Sunday School.

It was announced this week that Rus Creighton and his Hay Balers would supply the music for dancing and this popular orchesâ€" tra is sure to attract a large crowd.

Town League Lacrosse came back with a bang Tuesday night when a great crowd attended the arena to see two very good games of lacrosse. Misses Kay and Jessie Wark spent the holiday at their home here. Richmond Hill Midgets defeated Richvale 4-1 in the first game. The boys played mighty smart lacrosse and showed good coaching in their passing plays. Maple and Richmond Hill Juve- niles played a 5-5 tie in the second game. The crowd was in an uproar over this game. It had a little of everything in it and if these teams play like this always the Rink won’t be able to hold the crowds. The managers of the various teams must be ready to play when scheduled so as to get the games over by 11 o’clock. Reeve Greene opened the Town Lacrosse League Tuesday night with some well chosen words of advice to the players out playing the game and not the man.

Mr. James McNeil of Maple who is in his 84th year helped shock oats one afternoon last week. This is reâ€" markable and goes to show that Mr. McNeil has not lost some of his youthful vigor at this well advanced age. Teston seems to have had an ex- citing week. At Wes. Clarkson’s threshing one afternoon, just as the floor was being cleaned up, some one thoughtlesly knocked out the table brace bringing the table down and with it Mr. Allen, manager of Armae Farms. Mr. Allen suffered facial injuries and was taken to the hospital but is home again and im- proving. Also a stack of old alsike straw at Armae Farms was ordered burned last Thursday and was ap- parently under control but on Sat- urday broke out again setting fire to the bush. The fire alarm brought help and the firemen from Maple were soon on hand. Later Richmond Hill Brigade arrived and all were kept busy until Sunday moming.
