Barrie Examiner advertises a payment notice with pricing and remittance instructions. The notice lists J. Ap MacLaren as publisher and provides Barrie Ontario as the origin with a December 28, 1810 date.
An advertisement urging Barrie voters to choose Local Option over the bar and treating system. It frames the choice as a moral duty and emphasizes secrecy of the ballot, the harm of license, and the benefits seen in other towns. It also promotes The Weekly Sun as a vital farmer’s paper and subscription club.
Christmas holidays bring visits from Toronto and Barrie residents to Shanty Bay Dalston Thornton and surrounding areas. Rev. G. Craw and Rev. H. Pugsley spend holidays with local families while many others, including Miss Janet Watson and Miss Birdie Gill, return home for the season. A village funeral marks the year as Miss Heth Jamaba passes away.
Farmer letters oppose Local Option in Barrie arguing it raises hotel rates and burdens travellers with costs while preserving local markets nearer home in Craighrat and Hatton's. Regional notices note New Year gift ideas from Webb’s and a flurry of family visits in Nantyr with names like Dick Spilletts Toronto and Jack Murray Toronto.
