The construction gang have erected their camp near My. Hugh Moloney's. i Some Corn I Peterboro.--The crops may be or in some sections of the coun- and the corn may be doing orly on a great number of farms, but from Norman Manley, living at 49 'Brown Street, comes the report ghat he has corn which has grown to the height of nine and ten feet.

He did not elect and the Crown asked for an ad- journment of one week. Some Big Gladioli Picton.--Picton holds the record for gladioli. The biggest reported fn a Toronto paper was 51% inches high. Mrs. H. J. Porte beat this easily with a 60-inch gladioli. Now Mrs. W. S. Blakely reports one grown in her garden, East Main street, 66% inches high. Who can beat this? Skull Fractured In Fall * Brockville.--. J.

All druggists, the Canadian National Railways, in company with two other members of the C.N.R. train crew from To- ronto, was presented with a gold watch by the C.P.R. in Toronto a few days ago. Employment Situation Cobourg.--The employment situ- ation in the Central Ontario dis- trict is not as favorable as it should be at this season of the year. Farm- ers appear to be fairly well sup- plied with help to complete tne harvest and the fall work. In ad- jacent towns and cities the num- ber of applicants seeking jobs is stated to be considerably greaier than the demand. 5 Special Exhibition Service Brockville, -- Colonial Coach Lines, Limited, will operate a spe- cial coach service from Brockville to the Ottawa exhibition with spe- cail reduced fares for the week only.

Speedhouse Employs 90 Women Picton.--Hogg and Lytle"s seed warehouse is now employing ninety women in its picking room. Work started there a week ago on two carlots of peas of last year's crop shipped in from Oshawa. This sea- gon's local crop is just starting to come in, and it is likely that the women will be kept busy until the snow flies at least. With the short crop of peas this year, however, it is possible that work at the seeda- house will not last as long as in years of an average crop. Threshing General Picton.--Threshing is now gen- erdl throughout the County. Yields of fall wheat are turning out well, and some have a more than aver- age crop per acre. - Spring grain is on the light side, with the straw quite short on account of dry wea- ther. Some pieces of grain, how- ever, are threshing a higher num- ber of bushels than might be esti- mated by looking at the short 8 Dove Bore Markings Brockville--A dove which was first noticed in the yard of A. B. Hodge of Mallorytown on Tuesday last was found, upon being captur- ed, to have a rubber band on its right leg with the legend, 98 W, in blue figures. On the left leg there was an aluminum band with the inscription "5020 Montreal I.N.D." and with a red circular. The bird seemed to be tired and rested and fed in the 'shed until yesterday when it flew to the roof of the barn. It seems quite contented. Meteorite Fell Belleville.--A large meteorite fell near Corbyville about nine- thirty Thursday night after a bril- liant course across the sky. When first seen it was high in the heav- ens and looked like a gigantic sky- rocket. The head of the meteor was first yellow and then bluish- green, and a huge tail of red ana gold followed it. Travelling in a curve, it approached the groumd with tremendous speed, leaving be- hind it a brilliant train of fire, which temporarily lit up the coun- try for quite a distance. Offered New Position Peterboro--C. E. Jamieson, head of the commercial department of the Peterborough Collegiate Insti- tute and Vocational Training School, has been offered the prin- cipalship of the Napanee Collegi- ate. This new position 1s being considered by Mr. Jamieson, it is understood, but his final decision has not been announced. Mr. Jamieson has been identified with the Peterborough Collegiate Institute for a period of eighteen years, and enjoys an enviable rec- ord as a teacher. Father and Sons Fined Kingston.--For brutality and as- saulting George Boldrick of Tyen- dinaga, Police Magistrate. Bedford of Desoronto fined William Me- Williams $200 and costs, and in default of payment, nine months in the Ontario Reformatory; Leo Mc- Williams $150 and costs, and in de- fault of payment six months in the Ontario Reformatory, and the fa- ther, Henry McWilliams, $100 and costs, and in default three months in Belleville Jail. The accused were also bound over to keep the peace for a period of five years un- der a bond of $1,000. The Magis- trate said it was the most brutal assault case of which he had ever heard. Traffic Officers Needed Peterboro.--A new form of traf- fic blockade which is of a nature somewhat different from the usual auto car jam, but none the less for- midable and annoying, is becoming very common on Main street. It generally originates when Mrs. Smith, who is pushing a perambu- NOTICE TO CREDITORS IN THE ESTATE OF Sophia Kobernick of the City of Oshawa, in the County of Ontario, married woman, deceased.

Phone 28 Phone 68 lator, meets her dear friend, Mrs. Jones, at one of the growded points on the street. In the tase of their excited ravings on the subject of the baby, which is reposing unin- terestedly in the carriage, they are joined by their mutual acquaint- ance, Mrs. Gauchenheiemer. In a moment or two several more join the group and the trick is done-- the sidewalk on Peterborough's main artery is completely blocked. Unfortunate pedestrians who de- sire to pass that point must take to the gutter and circumvent the mass meeting. UNIQUE "DINNER" STAGED BY BARRIE Historical Guests Are Feted At Colorful Event in Scotland WITTY ADDRESSES Freedom of City Is Present- ed Famous Author At Ceremony Scotland. --Sir James Barrie, O.M., and William Adamson, Secretary for Scotland, have received the freedom of the city of Edinburgh, their names thus being added to the roll which already contained those of Sir Wal- ter Scott and Charles Dickens, When the caskets had been pre- sented Mr. Adamson, who began life as a pitboy, described the freedom of Edinburgh as, above all others, the Mecca of the dreams of every patri- otic Scotsman. That city enshrined the noblest of their race. The na- tional heritage of song, melody and story for ever belied the popular be- lief that Scotsmen were prosaically hard-headed and lacking in sentiment and fanciful notions, (Cheers.) Sir James Barrie, his burgess's ticket stated, was presented with the freedom of the city in recognition of his pre-eminent position in the realms of literature and drama. A Tale of "Blackwood's" Sir James Barrie, in his reply, said: : I think from what the Lord Pro- vost said he rather expects me to say something about the old days when really I was, although insignifi- cantly, a part of Edinburgh--my student days. I am afraid I was un- duly interested in myself in those days because, although I remember myself vividly I cannot remember the Castle at all. (Laughter.) It is so long ago that perhaps there was no Castle in those days--(laughter),-- but at any rate there was a magazine, which is about the best in the world then and now--"Blackwood's." I had not been long at the university be- fore I sent to "Blackwood's" my very first manuscript. I am afraid it was a satire on my professors with some rather strange portraits of the pro- fessors done by another and better + hand. Well, we finished it off and sent changes to George Street. Two youths are observed passing up and down 'outside the famous literary home of the firm, Who may they be? They are. At first "Blackwood's" receives us courteously, but after a time they become a little tired. That is because we are loath to have them miss such a good thing. Looking back on it now I do not think I am tremendously exaggerating if I say that by the end of this touching episode : "Blackwood's" were hurling that manuscript into the street ouf of their upper window and we were down below catching it and rushing it in again by the door. Rendered Service ; I cannot' now remember what it was called, but I can see very well they were doing me a service. That manuscript has gone squealing down the wind this many a year, but some of the pictures I believe are still pos- sessed by 'a' sympathetic friend.

(Laughter.) My tale is told. (Laughter) I only mention the incident as perhaps to- day some vision of George Street is crying out. Yes, of course, they will QUALITY { coa have brought back that manuscript. (Laughter.) An Edinbubrgh Landlady Sir James said he would like to tell them about one who was a man of men to him in his student days, but first he would tell them about the woman. I would rather have had her here today than almost anybody I can think of (he continued.) If she had been here I am sure she would have been wearing a black silk dress or something that was uncommonly like it. She kept lodgings, fortun- ately for me. She was old and poor, a widow woman without kith or kin, g that his: Edinburgh man of men was Professor: Masson, Sir James went on to say that for a man of his calling the university was just the stepping-off place into the void, with nothing to step on to, He remembered as a boy showing some photographs of the poets to a group of young women. who knew nothing about the poets. After looking at them the hand of one went down upon Byron, and one of the girls ex- pressed the sentiments of all by say- ing: "That's the billy for me." "Such," commented Sir James, "is the importance of physiognomy in the calling of letters." I don't know whether any of you 'noticed (he went on), but I did, that the Lord Provost, although he spoke in an extravagant kind way about me, took precious good care mot' to say one single word about my per- sonal appearance. At any rate Mas- son was the billy for me. Those of you who knew him re- member the terrific frown that some- times passed over his usually benign countenance. I was the student who found out what that frown meant. 1 have seen it on many Edinburgh men. I have seen it on some of you today. I have seen it on the Lord Provost. What it meant was that Masson, though favored by fortune in many ways, had never met Walter Scott. The only charge I bring against Edinburgh is that it never managed somehow that Masson might have passed at least one even- ing with Sir Walter. : And what fun to choose the rest of the company. Let us do it. What age would you like him to be? You can have them any age you like. Let us have them all young and in the days before they were famous, Where shall we meet? At Whitecross Inn?

We cannot have guests, but who is the guest? He gives a name. Ah, I think I should like to choose a name representing the Edinburgh of today, though he has lately left it. I choose my beloved Walter Blackley, who joins that company sponsored, of course, by Prince Charlie, who sits down himself with- out waiting to be asked. There is only room for one more, and we all agree that it must be our Robert Louis. (Cheers.): In such a com- pany and such a dearth of accommo- dation he would be very willing just to be the boy who runs backwards and forwards with the hot water. (Laughter.) Well, there they are at the table. Let us look our fill at them, and how much jollier they looked before they were famous. As they fade away we look long at them, and longest at the Shirra. But, ladies and gentlemen, it is not they that fade away; it is they that remain. (Laughter.) Now I have got through with it without once mentioning Mary Queen of Scots. (Laughter.) You know that was a pretty near thing at the beginning. When 1 got tor Professor Masson I got rather scared, because, of course, if Edinburgh's greatest in- heritants during the ages do ever meet together it must be in Holy- rood, and all the invitations come from her royal hand. (Laughter.) Mary n Scots Now you see why I wanted that key and the candle. Explaining that he was now speaking merely to the press and to help them a little, Sir James continued: Up to this point the speaker had been only notice- able by the woodenness of his face and his raucous voice. But at the mention of Mary Queen of Scots an extraordinary change for the better came over his appearance. His face lit up, his voice became dulcet, and all of us sitting beneath the plat- form saw quite clearly that his eves were cither hazel or blue. (Laugh- ter.)
