Sheppard in his former position as station agent at the Metropolitan Waiting- Room. Few men in this section of counâ€" try were more widely kn0wn or more highly respected than Michael Naughton, who passed away at his home at Elgin Mills on Monday morning after a lengthy illness, in his 62nd year. Born in Limerick, Ireland, he came to this country with his parents, brothers and sisters when only five years of age. The family ever afterwards resided in the neighborhood of Elgin Mills. When deceased left school he worked on the Bernard farm, afterwards learning the coopering business with the late John Hamilton, and later started a cooperage in partnership with his brother John. Thirty-six years ago the brothers purchased the Elgin Mills store, succeeding Mr. Harry Newton, and carried on a most successful business u..til the time of his death. The funeral ser- vices on Wednesday held in the church were conducted by Rev. Fath- er Grant, the Pastor, and Rev. Fath- er Teefy. The widow, three sons and a daughter survive. THIRTY YEARS AGO Mr. A. J. Hume assisted the New- max'ket Military Band at Cane's pic- nic held at Jackson’s POint on Wed- nesday of last week. Farmers at Patterson are pretty well through harvesting, and they have n-uch to be thankful for. The grain and root crops hive been good, and the pastime fields are green as in the month of June. Saturday last was a record break- er for the Metropolitan Railway, when about 600 employees of Messrs. W. R. Johnston & Co. and their friends came to Richmond Hill for their Summer outing. The program consisted of many of the pOpular sports, and a most enjoyable after- noon was spent in the park and on the driving track where the contests took place. Among the contests were a baseball match, foot races, etc. The bicycle races and the ball match were particularly interesting, Refreshments were served in the Ag- ricultural Hall by Mr. Walter Hulse, proprietor of the Palmer House, and the Village band furnished good mu- sic during the afternoon and ‘even- ing An order has been obtained in To- ronto directing the immediate wind- ing up of the Massachusetts Benefit Life Assurance Company, so far as its Canadian assets are concerned, which are said to amount to $130,- 000. It is thought that the Canadian claimants and policy holders will lose but little. Our postmaster has procured from the Post Office Department a few sets of Jubilee Postage stamps, with instructions to sell them in sets only, from half cent to fifty cents each, costing $1.21. The numbers are 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20 and 50 cents FORTY YEARS AGO From.our Issue of Sept. 2nd, 1897 LIBERAL FILES We might judge by results. not inâ€" tentions, and thus it; appears that the only hanging offence is lack of money. Over fifty thousand tourists visit- ed the site last year, indicating the general interest in the old ruins, eighty per cent of them Americans. Old Fort Erie was first constructed by the French early in the eight. eenth century, and fi'elty Chief Pon~ tfac was one of its earliest visitors.â€" Telegram. Fort Erie, Aug. 19.-â€"â€"Definit7e an- nouncement was made by W. L. Houck, M.P.P., for Niagara Falls, yesterday at a monster Liberal pic- nic, that the Ontario Government will in the immediate future com- mence the restoration of old Fort Erie, on which nothing has been done since its destruction in 1813 by A- mericans under General Jacob Blown. Insofar as possible the plans used by the British in the second rebuilding of the old fortifications will be used, Mr. Houck said. According to statistics issued by the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture there were 5,941 acres of potatoes urder cultivation in the County of York last year, which is a surpris- ingly large acreage when one con- siders that Ontario county had an acreage of only 5,671. Much of the land in Ontario county is only adapt~ able to growing potatoes and it was to be expected that there would be more tubers grown there, but such is not the case. The value of the potato crop in York County was $543,103 as against $379,958, indi- cating that York growers obtained a better price on the average. Gold production in the first five months of 1937 reached 1,628,356 ounces, compared With 1,450,839 in the corresponding period last year. Reflecting rearmament plams through- out the world, nickel production jumped from 68,704,668 pounds to 90,426,601. York county also led in the mat ter of turnip acreage and price. There was sown to turnips 5,941 acres in York at a market value of $543,103, as against an acreage in Ontario county of 4,532 and a mar- ket value of $261,406. WILL REBUILD OLD FORT ERIE “There is a good chuckle in the story of the Chattanooga s‘torekeep- er who put up an empty cigar .box in his store under a sign reading: ‘Police got my slot machine; please put your money here.’ The chuckle comes from the fact that his patrons took him at his word, so that in a few days the box was nearly full of coins. The average customer likes a joke, and isn’t above tossing away a nickel if it appeals to his sense of humor. The point, however, is that the customers who ‘played’ this cigar box got just about as much for their money as they would have got if the slot machine had never been removed.” ‘ Ottawa, Aug. 21.â€"Canada’s min- ing industry is making new produc- tion records this year, led by gold, nickel, copper and lead. York county growers received average of around $92 per acre v Ontario product realized less 1 $58 per acre. TAX RED‘UCTIONS are the order in all municipalities throughout this district. Richmond Hill Village rate 'is down this “8311'. Art a )special meeting of Markham council last week the 1937 rate was struck at a substantial reduction from last year and Whitchurch ratepayers will pay $7,500 less in taxes this year than in 1936.
