June 25 1896 Local Items Bring Acton Town Life to Light
Busy examination days for school pupils and the end of the term as public and high schools close for the long summer vacation. Gardens bloom prodigiously, window boxes glow at the Town Hall, and flower beds brighten the town. The next Exquesing Township Council meeting is set for July 20 at 1 30. Local marriages, home-grown produce like two boxes of tomatoes per 25 cents, and a Guelph Salvation Army band concert add to community life. The Acton Horticultural Society supplied flowers, first home-grown strawberries marketed, and church activities mark a busy June with many notices and remembrances of notable figures.
