Show j i -J ORANGEVILLE Mrs. Charles Swannell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Chllds, has gone to Los Angeles for the present. Her hus-; hus-; band, Charles Swannell, is one of the first Canadian contingent who is now at France. The last letter received by Mrs. Swannell from him before she left for the coast' he mentioned two very narrow escapes. He has the handling of the mail for the boys and takes it to them in the trenches. This is one of the calamities of war, he enlisting for his country's sake and she leaving the home where they were so happy, but with all this she keeps up bravely, not permitting herself to feel other than that he will return to her after the termination of the war. . Mrs. Swannell is an expert at needle work and expects to devote a great portion of her time to that fascinating occupation, and in the meantime try to regain her health, as her nerves have become very much impaired im-paired through the strain she has lived under since the beginning of this great national conflict. CLEVELAND George Richards has. been on the sick list the past week. Miss Emma Johnson has gone to Sunnyside Sun-nyside to spend the summer. One of the closest ball games played here for some time was played between the Cleveland boys and those from the Austin farm, commonly called Sugar City, which resulted in a score of 21 to 22 in favor of Cleveland. The band under the able management of E. E. Davis is doing some excellent work. They practice at the Davis hall every Sunday afternoon. PERRON H. M. Fugate, a former resident of Ferron has brought some expert miners ! in this country to show them eome of j the mines that he found when he was ' a resident here, we could not learn if the mines which he showed the miners were satisfactory or not as he seemed to be very deaf to inquires concerning the mines, but we hope that he has fou id something that will make a boom in Emery county. The Ferron public library now con- ; tains over 400 volums belonging to the ' library and over 50 rented, and over 500 pounds of magazines. They have a standing subscription of 7 of the best magazines published. From February 1, when the library was first started, there has been over 1000 volumes rented so you can see what a vast amount of good the library has done for our town in so short a time. Rev. M. E. Mix, vice president of the library, is planing to leave our town in the rext few days and we are sorry to have him leave be-c be-c use he has been a good citizen and Ferron can thank him for the rapid progress pro-gress that the library has made.
