They sold their house and: lot to Mr. T. Cousins. Another familiar figure has sud- denly passed into eternity in the per- son of Mr. John Devine who expired shortly after the noon hOur on Sat- urday with heart tremble. Deceased was of a bright and cheery disposi- tion, and his honest, handsome face was an index of his true character. The funeral took place to the Thorn- hill R. C. Cemetery on Monday. Be- sides the widow several sons and daughters are left to mourn the loss of one so suddenly called away, who had apparently been enjOying the best of health. ’ The new store and bakery at Maple Were opened on Saturday. Mr. Nor- man has engaged as baker Mr. Bell of Bradford, and purposes keeping a stock of groceries and confectionery. volumes of books had been purchased during the year, that there are now 2657 volumes in the library, and that there were 3708 volumes issued dur- ing the year, also that the Reading Room is supplied' with 4 daily papers, 14 weekvlies, and 10‘ periodicals. Messrs. P. G. Savage, W. A. Sand- erson and T. F. McMahon were re- elected chairman, treasurer and sec- retary respectively for the Current year. The lacrosse season opened here last Saturday by a match between The Athletes of Toronto and the local team. ‘The home team won an easy victory over the visitors al- though the former had to exert themselves in securing their honors. The result at the close showed 8 to 0 in favor of the Hill boys who played a very goort combination game. Mr. W. Savage refereed the match, and Messrs. J. Glass and W. Murray acted as umpires.

A mating of the‘Puiblic Library Board was held at The Liberal off- ice on Tuesday evening, one of the objects being to receive the audi- tors’ report of the accounts of the Secretary and the Treasurer for the year ending the 30th of April. The report showed the receipt-s for the year to be $311.35, expenditure $253.39, leaving a balance in the treasurer’s hands of $157.96.

Their ‘bills show that one of the events for their Victoria Day cele- bration is rolling a peanut on Main Street, 100 yards, with a toothpick. Are our northern neighbors racking their brains in their efforts to proâ€" vide special attractions, just because Richmond Hill is to have a Punch and Judy Show? We wonder! From our Issue of May 6th, 1909 Mr. Norman J. Glass has bought Mr. Armand G. Savage’s stock of Gents’ Furnishings, Clothing, Boots and Shoes and will take p055ession on Monday, May 10. Mr. Glass in- tends running it along with his agâ€" ency business and in his absence the store will be under the manage- ment of Miss Mai’y Ross. Mr. Glass will do all in his power to merit the confidence of all who favor him with a call. From our Issue of May 8th, 1924 The Richmond Hill Fire Brigade is pleased to acknowledge the re- ceipt of a $25.00 cheque from Mr. Percy Brillinger, following the fire that burned one of his barns, hay, etc. Mr. Brillinger feels sure that his other barns and outbuildings would have suffered a similar fate but for the good work of the Bri- gade and willing workers.

Duncan was appointed Viceâ€"Chair- man; that the Board are not pre-’ pared to purchase a gramaphone for the Public school, and that the re- signa‘u'or of Trustee Rainer be ac- cepted. A motion “as made to pur- chase through Mr. W. A. Duncan; full equipment for fire extinguishers -â€"-one for each room in the Public School at a cost of $14 each, and two at $18’each. The total cost for both schools to be about $196. Mr. Duncan stated that it would reduce the insurance 5 per cent. It was finally decided to lay the purchase over till next meeting. A resolu- tion was carried to the effect that commencing next school term the Public and High School teachers be requested to reside in Richmond Hill, at least from Monday until Friday. A large number of accounts were passed, and the Board adjourned. Bills will be out in a day or two announcing the 75th anniversary of the Richmond Hill Agricultural So- Am atbendvant in a mental home was making his evening round' when he came upon one of the patients industriously fishing in a washâ€"basin with rod and line. “What!” said the patient, “ washubasin!

The burning question right now is how best to see the King and Queen withcut getting killed in the rush. Passenger revenue on the North Y‘onge Radials for the first three months of 1939 amounted to $15,- 672.19 as compared with $16,165 in the same peri‘od of 1938, a decrease of $492.96.

Some things that happen on the road suggest that some people have been drinking in something besides the beauty of nature. Stouffville council has decided against adopting daylight saving time this summer. Merchants 0p- p-osie the proposal on the grounds that it interferes with business. Truth is said to be unpopular at times, though people seem inclined to make use of it when it doesn’t cost them anything. As a lesson to those swains who use honeyed words to their best girls, we submit an article from the South Wales Echo which describes the fate of ‘one sincere young fellow. He told her that he had never imagine& that any girl could‘ be so lovely as she was. That she had the most beautiful nature of anybody he had ever That she was the most intelligent and cultured girl he had ever met. .That her eyes were like twin 1&- goons of purest azure blue. 7 That her figure was perfection it- self. . That her hair was shimmering goldl. And: that he never ceased to man- vel at the fact that she was his. So she decide& that if she was all he said! she was, then she could do a great deal better for herself. So she gave the little pipsqueak his ring back.
