Silver Creek Community Notes and Turkeys Shooting Match
John Young went to Ontario while Walter Dunlop visits Crevicld and Walter McKay’s wood pile was split. Silver Creek church had its annual meeting and farmers report grain hauling to Binscarth with higher weights and a distant price. Threshing winds down as troops prepare for next year. A turkey shooting match at Silver Creek Rifle Range is planned with Asessippi to boost shooting, amid grain blockades and looming spring sales. Twenty eight turkeys were shot at James Kippan’s, with Mr C Stewart’s turkey drawing attention though a fatal brain injury is suspected from the gunfire reports.
