Examiner, 1903, Feb 4th page 3 ECHOES FROM BONSHAW The farmers here are now en¬ gaged in sawing and splitting up their firewood for next summer. Owing to the recent storms the roads of this vicinity are in an almost impassable condition, consequently our bloods do little or no driving. Some of them were fretting at first, but after due con¬ sideration they concluded to let it snow. The people of Bonshaw last week welcomed back to their midst Mr Heath Beaton , who has returned from a trip to England on board the steamer Manchester Trader. Mr Beaton is looking well, and is loud in his praise of the Motherland and of the treatment he received at the hands of the crew and especially of the cook. Bonshaw can boast of as good, if not the best mail carrier in P EI , in the person of Mr Neil McNevin , who drives the mail from Charlotte- town to Victoria, a distance of about 24 miles, and who, despite the stormy weather and bad loads, has just missed one trip to Bonshaw this winter. He is also a most obliging and all-round jolly good fellow. . Try Again. Feb 20. Examiner, 1903, Feb 20th page 7 97
