Owing to sickness on the staff last week the Markdale Standard Wia not 'issued until Saturday. Sunday was the first churohloss Sun- day that Flesherton hab experienced since it was Arteinesia postoffice. Kev. and Mr». Lowndes, of Brauttord, are the guests of tlieir daughter, Mra -(Dr ) Murray. Mr. Mark vVilsoa has a which he will try to raise, is six months old and was caught up ~in the vicinity of Cochrane. Mrs. C. Munshaw was relieving at Arthur during the past week, as the " hello " girls there were laid up with the influensa. It IS now a good deal easier to get to work at 7 a.m. th»n it was a week ago. But say, ain't the evenings terribly long since getting back to Fathv Time's old schedule '! '' The plant of the Thornbury Herald was destroyed by tire recently. The loss is heavy as the office had installed con- siderable new equipment. It is under- stood that the fire started from a gasoline tank. Word was received here last week that Pte.

Pringle, the paper controller, lias given manufacturers of newsprint paper permission to load another increase in prices on the coiisumers. The price of papers is now just 99 per cent, higher than it was when war commenced, in addition tr the high price, newsprint paper is getting very acsroe aad supplies for only a week or two ahead can now be secured. A letter received on Thursday last from Lieut. Joe LeGard says .-^ " Just a note to ht you know that I am back in £ngland again . I was slightly wounded by a machine eun buliet in the abdomen at Cambrai,but I am feeling pretty good. Uld Fritz got me quick, but believe me, I got rid of a dozen or so of ihem before I got bit. I am still in bed, although I don't feel bad . I got up this morning, but the Sister promptly hustled me back to bed and told me to stay there, so I guess I will have to do as I am told, for a while, anyway. There are two of us â- in the same hospital from our battalion, so you see we have company, anyway." The late Capl. Robeit Pollock, who died recently for his country in France, will be long remembered hero as he wilt in all quarters by those who knew hioi. In the early days of the war, when the 147th Battalion was being recruited, be attended the fall fair here, with others, in order to secure recruits, and well we remember his impassioned speech on that occasion. One thing stands out especially in his speech that marks {the man be was in the light of his subsequent actions. "Boys" ho said, "I do not ask you to go, I ask you to conio with me.'' A good many of the young men present could not resist that appeal, and some of them have followed him alt the way on the road he has trod. Others have come home and cttn say nothing but good of this hero who has given up his wife, child and life for his Country. Mr. Wm. Martin has returned home from Muskoka Falls, where he has been Hmployed by the Hydro. Only two Flesherton people went to tlio hunting grounds this year, Mr. Geo. Mitchell and ye editor.

One day last «eek the team belonging to Mr. John Abercrombie, Kimberley mail courier, while standing in front of the post ofKce took it into their heads thdt it was time to go somewhero, and without waiting for the driver proceeded to fut the idea into execution. They sot as far as W. J. Bellamy's residence when they collided with a tree. Result â€" a smashed wagon tongue, broken harness and a dampening of the equine ardour. The Kimberley mails were late that day, but repairs are proceeding all round. Mr, Daniel Young, of town, received word on Sunday that his son, Pte.

His face was badly smashed up by the blow and he was rendered unconscious for nearly a day. There ha» been a certain amount of potty thieving at the Gr«nd Trunk station in Owen Sound during the past few weeks, says the Sun, and :i8 a result suspicion vos resting on several of the e.nployees for want of knowledge of the I real culprit.
