Mr. Doyle recently purchased the farm at St. An- draws known as the Griffin prop- erty and already has had many acres broken in readiness for spring operations.

Word has been received that the com- missioners named by the Govern- 'mcnt to manage the affairs of ,the village until the civic elec- ltions in February are Messrs. D. L. Mullins.
