During dinner, the Don Smith family heard a noise from the chimney and a wood duck emerged from the fireplace damper. They escorted it out the front door as there was no meal prepared for an unexpected guest and Mr. Smith notes wood ducks often nest in chimneys. James Robinson, former resident now in Alexander, sends renewal to The Banner praising local exhibitors at the provincial fair for sweeping grain and cattle awards, urging pride in The Banner County. The office of Bob McMurray got a facelift in Casket-Grey, earning the nickname The Morgue.
