Suit Gordon Smith of Whitchurch was the defendant in an action brought against him by Rev John Eis of Hebron Ohio before Justice in the Assize Court on Thursday of last week of the parties owns half of lot Whitchurch Township and a lane divides the two properties The wants an injunction re straining Smith from using the lane claiming it as his exclusive property Smith says that he bought the land on the representation that he was to have the use of the lane The case was adjourned Guilty of Theft According to the Criminal Code any person finding an article and re taining or wearing the same without advertising- it is liable to prosecution the same as if he or she had stolen it On the last Saturday in July a To ronto lady lost a large black Jet Brooch with a womans head on it side face while in Newmarket and advertised it twice in both town pa pers without results Perhaps some one not knowing the law has found it and would like to returnit as it was a keepsake which the owner priz

room of the hotel on the even ing of Oct The occasion was the first meeting at which the direc tors statement was presented show ing a very handsome profit for the few months the hotel had been in op eration It is an incredible story for the opponents of Local Option to swallow but the books of the Com pany are corroborated by the audi tors statement and show that though a dividend of only was paid at this meeting the profits for the five months business were very much more and yet the cry is so often heard Hotel keeping cannot be made a financial success without whiskey Newmarket is a very prosperous in dustrial town of some people and is surrounded by the best of agricultural country The excellent farming land about and the tjirifty class of farmers makes the town the marketing centre of the county It is also the educational centre the county outside of Toronto as the new Pickering College and the High School with its new addition now building stand side by side overlook ing the town So it is not to be wondered that many business people of the town feared for its Welfare and all its many and growing indus tries when the question of Local Op tion came up a year ago It was to allay this fear that a few of the sympathizers of temperance formed a Guarantee Committee promising in case Local Option car ried and the liquor license holders shut up their hotels as they promis ed to do and refused to furnish ac commodation to the public to buy and run a welleqipped hotel for the public benefit It was on this prom ise the vote carried and before Lo cal Option is brought on in any place the temperance people should consider well the provision of hotel accommo dation for the public By an overwhelming majority of fit Local Option was carried on the 3rd of January A Joint Stock Company was formed which purchased the Forsyth Hotel and with the advent of Local Option on the first of May commenced business under the very able management of Mr and Mrs Brown Since the first of May large sums have been expended in remodeling and refurnishing the entire building to gether with the erection of a large brick addition The diningroom is deserving of special mention as it is equal with almost any of those met with in the firstclass hotels of tin- larger cities Its large plateglass windows looking out on the main street the massive beamed ceiling and the heavy plate rail the brilli ancy of the electric lights the elab orate and tasty tabic display the varied and dainty menu served with a style to suit the taste of the most fastidious are attractions brought the commercial trade to the hotel to stay On entering the ho tel one finds himself in the midst of a spacious rotunda with handsome and modem decorations the beauty of which dispels the memory of the old hotel entirely Every room in the house is comfortably heated by the new steam heating plant The balance of the stock which was offered for sale at the time of this meeting was over subscribed the business has passed tbeexperi- mental stage and every person is pleased with the accommodation of the hotel and especially pleased with the financial success of the business The chairman of the evening was Hon J Davis and the speakers who responded to the usual toasts were loud in their praises for Local Option and its benefits to the town It was said Local Option would kill Newmarket and the streets of the music They certainly deserve great credit for their efficiency of Ottawa one of the Dominion Live Stock Commit stoners gave the farmers a lot of in formation concerning live stock and a good deal of advice On tario is the breeding ground 6t the Dominion but the best results are only obtainable Districts make a specialty of one of two things Our farmers are not raising quarter

dur ing the meeting The Directors of the Company are Aubrey Davis Joseph Cody Mayor Pearson D Hunter Eves Widdifield and Dr Wesley President As the quality of the hotel has been raised to such a high
