Lots of snow shovelling this week The recent fall of snow will makf good‘ sleighing. Ever since it became reasonably clear that the Metropolitan would in 'a short time be able to carry all lkind‘s of freight, there has been a feeling here among the citizens that an effort should be made to estab- ," lish a market. Messrs. C. D. War- ren and‘ J. W. Moyes, President and Manager of the railway company re- spectively were in the Village Satur- h day evening and talked over this Jand other matters with the council and a few of the ratepayers. The I result of this interview was a public meeting held in the Lorne Hall last evening and called by Reeve Savage 'in compliance with a requisition :from a number of citizens. There was a large number of ratepayers present, who seemed to take an in- terest in what they hoped would be a great help to the Village. It was 'clearly shown that a bank and the establishment of a grain market here would bring prosperity to the place, the financing scheme being the only difficulty. Among these who exâ€" pressed themselves as being anxious that every effort should be made to develop the propOSed scheme were Messrs. I. Crosby, H. A. Nicholls, W. H. Pugsley, W. Harrison. J. H. Sanderson, W. Innes, D. Hill, F. Mc- Conaghy and others. Mr. C. D. War; ‘ lren (being called upon said he was not present in the interest of the Metropolitan Railway, but merely to assist the Village in what was pro- posed to do. He submitted a plan of the buildings proposed, viz., a thank ! and a. grain elevator, which the architect said would cost about $8,- 000. He was prepared to say that a joint stock company c0uld be form- ed who would put $2000 into the in- stitution if the Village would back the company for the «balance of $6,- i000. This he thought could be done 'by the Village issuing debentures, the interest on which would; be paid yearly by the stock company, and the ‘principal at the end of ten years. Mr. Moyes thought this was an im- portant era in the history of the Village. The Metropolitan Railway would in a few months be in a posi-I tion to handle all kinds of freight, and with the proposed elevator with modern conveniences grain could be handled“ at a very low rate. Before closing the meeting the following resolution moved by H. A. Nicholis . and seconded by J. H. Sanderson was carriedzâ€"JThat able that the establishment of a grain ‘ elevator and the providing of ac- commodation for a banking institu- tion and expreSS and other offices, would be in the interest of this oom- munity, and that a committee be ap- pointed to evolve some plan to that. end.

Lat- er in the evening an exciting race, 10 laps, took place betweenIskaters from Aurora and Markham. Graham of Markham came in ahead, and Lanill of Aurora, second. The great attraction of the evenlng, as was an- ticipated, was the fancy skating by Miss M. H. Douglas of Toronto. This young lady was neatly and modestly attired, she was graceful in her movements, and everybody present seemed delighted with the part she took in the evening‘s programme. Among the figures cut were her ini- tialsâ€"JMJ-LD. Insid‘e Edge, the figure 8, Spread Eagle, Scissors, Fish, Roll and Vin-es etc. Although the ice was too soft for fancy skat- ing, Miss Douglas performed her part well and kept good time with the music furnished by the band. The entries for the Cake Walk didn‘t fill, consequently that part could not be given. a move in the fight THIRTY YEARS AGO Tuck and Muriel Watson, while Jack Innes, Rmby Forrester and Isobel Cowie championed Toronto and con- vinced the judges, Mrs. Phipps and Mrs. McIntosh, that the big city is the better place.

The Presbyterian Young People’s Society held their annual meeting on Monday night with an attendance of 39. In the absence of the President, Miss Agnes Sims occupied the chair. The chief feature of the evening’s programme was a debate on the sub- ject, “Resolved that Richmond Hill is a more desirable place of residence than Toronto." The affirmative was supported by Evelyn Young, Audrey r Only a small number of members braved the storm and attended the Horticultural meeting in the High School Tuesday evening. President, George Gee, and Secretary, Mrs. Hume, gave very interesting reports of the recent Ontario ConVention held at the King: Edward Hot-e1.
