Can’t be more expensive, they say. “We lecommend to your attention the fact that man is the only ‘ani- mal’ that can be ‘skinned’ more than once,” observes The Cobourg Sent- inelâ€"Star.

Such families have character. They sink their roots into the soil, and one generation is proud to succeed another.

Meantime the woman who was appointed to the board, Miss Nellie Tind'ale, refused to accept the appointment. “A lady is not fit to be put on the board,” said Reeve Armstrong. “You can’t get two women and two men to agree on anything.” Ontario’s buck law, for the past two years a worry to deer hunters, may be repealed at the present sesâ€" sion of the legislature, D.

FORTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of February 25, 1897 A Curling Bonspiel for a pair of stones to be presented by Hughes Brothers was commenced in the Thornhill rink yesterday. In the fore- noon the Maple Leafs of Scarboro defeated rinks from Richmond Hill by 12 points and in the afternoon Scarboro won from Aberdeens‘ by 4 points. Aurora has been drawn to play Markham to-day and Stouffville is to play the home rinks in the af- ternoon. The Board of Education held an- other meeting on Friday and dis- cussedat length the question of a site for the new High School, but there is nothing new to report. A delegation of ratepayers addressed the Board. The Board declined to sanction the purchase of the Powell lot for the schOol site, several of the members favoring the Richardson property at the northern limits of the Village. Another meeting will be held in a few days, when it is hoped the dead lock wnich now exists, will be broken. A. Quantz W. Scott C. P. Reid R. Agar . A. Smith . . . . . . . . . 35 33 68 L. G. Stoutenburgh 36 31 67 The Musical Carnival by the Grena- dier’s Band of Toronto, held in the Skating Rink, Thornhill, on Tuesday evening was a very pleasant affair. It is needless to say the music.was excellent. This winter, so far, Thornhill has not been nearly so tame as last Win- ter. Mercantile business is much more brisk than usual; the mechan- ics are all at work; the skating and curling rink has been well patron- ized; the lectures on English (the The Rifle Club of Victoria Square met for their semiâ€"monthly shoot on the afternoon of February! 20th, with scores as folIOWS: eighteenth of which will be given next Friday) are faiflyvattended, and there have been several entertainâ€" ments, public and otherwise. Mr. J. B. Lanzon, Conservative, was on Saturday elected to the Mani- toba Assembly for St. Boniface by a 111ajority of 180. The; Dohainion Cabinet was consid- ering the new franchise bill on Sat- urday. It simply adopts the various Provincial franchise for elections to the House of Commons. THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of February 21, 1907 The residence on the St. George property, near Lake Wilcox, at pre- sent. owned by Mr. Wm. Davies, was burned to the ground. The fire, which broke out in the night, seems to be a mystery. The house vas unoccupied.‘ Mr. A. G. Savage has leased the store belonging to the Sivers estate, at present occupied\ by Mr. F. C.

But, alas! if they can’t buy from us in time of war, they must estab- lish other sources of supply in time of peace. Messrs. F. W. Hall and C. A. Skeele have audited the books of the Village Treasurer, and a statement has been printed. The receipts for the past year are $4164.46, expendi- ture $4161.45, leaving the small bal- ance of $3.03. The assets are $12,- 425.63, liabilities $4,067.07, leaving a balance of assets over liabilities of $8,358.56. Ratepayers may get a copy: of the auditors’ report by apâ€" plying to Mr. Hume. Mr. Michael Murphy, formerly of this place, died at his home, 720 Park Ave, Syracuse, N.Y., last Thursday. The remains were interred in St. Agnes’ [Church cemetery the following Saturday. Deceased leaves a widow, formerly Miss Riley, and one daughter. A hockey match was played in the rink Monday evening between the High School team and the local jun- iors. The latter won by 5 to 1. Mr. Arthur Boyle refereecb the match. Now there i5 a campaign to prové the car radio a menace. It seems you can’t hear what the back seat is saying. LIBERAL FILES 100 yd. 200 yd.

For instance, if one can build a house in twelve days, twelve men can build it in one." . “Yes,” interrupted a quick brained student. “Then 288 will build it in one hour, 17,280 in one minute, and 1,036,800 in one second. And I don’t believe they“ could lay one brick in “that time.” While the professor was still gasp- ing, the smart “ready reckoner” went 'on: “Again, if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. I don’t believe that either; so Where’s the truth in arithmetic ?” Then he sat down. p===lo=o SKATING DKT an VI‘UIQ I’RY‘YICDD A Mr: H...
