Lovering advertises for tender s for the erection of a place of worship for the Methodists of Matchedash. He has been collecting for the purpose, both in his own neighbourhood and in Orillia town, with very gratifying success.

On the 16t h instant he entertained a select few of his friends and relatives to a social and supper, and appeared as convivial and happy as in his palmiest days in office. The evening was spent in a most enjoyable manner. Mrs. and the Misses Lovering elicite d deserved ecominums, not less for their affability than for the sumptuous repast they provided their guests. After justice had been done the festive board, the Model Farm, Guelph, its utility and management, was discussed and criticised. The subje ct of a separate Council for Matchedash received its airing without one contrary wind. A few political hits were given and encountered in good part, and then the company repaired to the parlour, where the Misses Lovering, presiding at the organ, di d much to beguile the flitting hour, and enchant the audience with music sweet and lyric songs. In the &amp;quot;wee sma hours&amp;quot; snapdragon was served up. The variety of the treat, and the hilarious way it was relixhed, went far to prove th at our host, notwithstanding a long residence in Canada amid trials and reverses, still retains British blood in his veins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="fon t-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, Oct 8, 1886- MATCHEDASH- The post-office was removed from Mr. W.D.

Lovering has leased his farm to his sons, and purposes removing to t he vicinity of some town- probably Orillia. This township will miss Mr. Lovering. It is sometimes said farming does not pay in Canada, but Mr. Lovering came here and settled on a bush farm, has made it pay for itself, has brought up a family of te n respectably and comfortably, and has enough left to live on for the remainder of his life. These are facts which prove farming can be made pay in Matchedash, at least.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium" &gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, Nov. 25, 1887- MATCHEDASH- The new municipality of Matchedash will have to select a Reeve and a Council to manage affairs, and it would be wise t o select a man for head of that body with some municipal experience. I would suggest Mr. W.D. Lovering as a person that would fill the bill exactly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/sp an&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, April 13, 1888- MATCHEDASH- I am sorry that our neighbor, Mr. W.D. Lovering, has lost a valuable horse in a short sickness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 't imes new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, July 6, 1888- COLDWATER- Generally speaking the crops are in grand condition, especially in Matchedash. The ha y will be very heavy. Mr. W.D. Lovering, who has previously grown some one hundred and fifty tons, states that he is sure he will get over two hundred tons off the same quantity of land. Potatoes are also looking well, more than usual, I hear, havi ng been planted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, March 1, 1889- MATCHEDASH- Mr. W.D. Lovering, J.P. , of this township, is not what is called a scientific farmer, but he furnishes a good instance of what may be done in a quiet way, in this remote part of Ontario. His farm comprises three hundred acres, of which sixty is timberland. Last season h e sold a hundred and fifty tons of hay, and $400 worth of horned stock. He has yet fifty head of stock, including sheep, and fodder enough for the season even should spring be late. Outside this he has sold more than enough dairy produce, and othe r farm products to cover the whole expenses of maintaining the farm, attending to stock &amp;amp;c. In addition to all this, he had three thousand bushels of oats to dispose of. A record like this should encourage industrious young farmers not onl y to stick to their farm, but to remain in Ontario, where judicious labour is so well rewarded, and the discomforts and drawbacks of pioneer life all past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, April 5, 1889- Mr. W.D.

Kitchen and Mr. W.D. Lovering were in tow n on Saturday, soliciting subscriptions in aid of the Matchedash and Coldwater Agricultural Society.

Lovering has just had a very pretty fence erected in front of his residence. It is a combination of iron piping and wire, and while not exceeding ly expensive presents an attractive appearance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: medium"&gt;TOP, April 14, 1898- Mr .
