Local news: A wedding will take place shortly in Thorne, when a popular young man of Clarendon will claim one of the brightest young ladies of the upper township.

Mr. Willie McDowell, of Renfrew, has come to take a position in the Merchants’ Bank here.

Greermount: Messrs. Jas. Judd, George Judd, and Thos. Dale came home with their threshing mill last Monday, after a very successful season’s work. Mr. Dale reports that, taking the township all through, there is more than an average crop of wheat and oats, but quite a failure in the pea crop.

Messrs. Hiram Hodgins and Hiram Hamilton left for the shanty on Tuesday morning.

Mr. Ben Judd used the grant of colonization money on the road leading from Thorne West to Campbell’s Bay. The improvement was very much needed and will be a great benefit to the people of this part.

Mr. Thos. Dale is employing quite a number of men at present on the road from Thorne West to Sparling’s Lake, which has been in a very miserable condition for the last few years.

The commissioner for Greermount is very indulgent. He got a nice new blackboard for the school and has promised to get a nice new broom.

Radford: Mr. A. W. Chamberlain has completed his part of the work on the new church for the present, and has returned to his mill work at the mill, known as the Quyon mill, owned by Hodgins’ Bros., North Clarendon.

We are to have a nice Orange supper at Radford on the 5th of November, for the benefit of our new church. Be sure to come and see it. It is easy to find. You just look up and you will see the spire, and it will guide you to where you will be met with many smiles.
