De observes that columns overflo' of business men Witt Talmage sagely " A newapaper whose w with advertisements has more influence in attractin:; attention to and building up a city or town than any other agency that can be employed. People go where there is business. Capital and labor will locate where there is an enterprising community.

Division Court was held in Dundalk before Judge Morrison on Friday last. The cases tried were not generally of much importance. The case of McGill V. Boyd was a case where the Biiyd Bros, purchased a horsepower from McGill & Son, Chatsworth, List fall, and after a couple of months notitied McGill to take the machine away as it was not satisfiic- tory, and claimed that it had been pur- purcliased under what amounted to a warranty. Judgment was given for plaintiffs. Richardw>n v. Ferguson was a suit on covenants contained in sale of lands. Defendant purchased a fwin from pUintiff and after holding some time threw it up. Plaintiff sued for $199.60 payments due and interest. Verdict for plaintiff for $85.36. A num- ber of other important cases and one judgment summons made up the balance of the Court's business. ^m June 1837 June 1897 &^S 5^ PeR50NAL5 ConstaV.c SkeUlin? of Shelburne nt- teuiplcl tH :irre«t Dave Mct."^oy, anoihor allesttd .MtUii:ctlion lire bug, la-t Tvirs- day.but jot left.

Tlii.s machine was put in rvperation within Iho limits of tho vilUae on Friday last, and tho result was so satisfactory that a purchase was made on the spot. A largo number of farmers turned out to sec the machino in opera- tion, and all pronounced its work eminent- ly satisfactory. A job of gradini,' was done during the afternoon which under tho ordinary plan would have cost fri>m f50 to too, and then could not have boon doiij nearly as well. Wo hope and believe a i>ew era of good roads has dawned iu this township. Wo heard ••reralsay that a machine should be purchaseii for each ward. As it is there will be very little opposition to the action ot/the council iu making this much, need- ed pfucbMO.;. What sort of inforniiitiou makes a man " well-informed "? According to tl.o Century it is tho "general knowledge wliich gives interest to tho conversation of a man "f the world â€" or woman of tho world.' The Century competition is ap- parently an opportunity for people to find out how much of this sort of know- ledge they have, or how much they can acipiire iu a certain time. Tho idea is oriiiinal euouah, and a first prize of ?oOO. ought to develop a good deal of activity among the quick-wittetl brothers and sisters.
