Markdale, it seems, ha-s earned the de.idly enmity of Oweri Sound f^ir pre- summn to take the poor house from that town. A true story has come to our ears wliich illustrates this thoroughly and which would intimate that Markdale had better keep its hand on its pistol pocket. .\ young woman in Flesherton who manu- factures a certain lineof goods took orders rtceully in the lake-side tijwn. A couple of weeks ago, when delivering the order she was met with a refusal to take the goods. Of course the young woman want- ed to know on what urounds the goods were refused, and the reply was. "Well, your town does all it can to injure this place and I won't deal withyou. ' In what way has our town ever tried to injure yi'urs ?" queiio).! the young woman. "Oh, you took the poor house from us," said the Owen Sounder. "Vou are very much mistaken, " was the quiet reply ; "our town never oven wanted the poor house." ".Ain't you from Markdale ?" asked ihe lakeside porker. "No, I do business in in Fleshertoii.' The goods were then t.ikou and paid for insunter. How those Owen Sounders do grieve over their loss 1 .\nd what aa awful thing it is to aet a big fellow "down " on a. liitl.^ feUow, espec- ially if the big felluw is a bully. We have received a chatty and inter- esting letter from our young friend, Mr. Geo. Richaro.sou, wh > wont to .\nacond.i, .Vlont. , a ytiar ago. Large uumbers ol our leaders will remember George, who for a loiiu' time presided over M.Richard- son and Cos hiirdwaro department. We take the liberty of quoting from his lofer as follows : "I don't know where The .\dvance is appreciated more than it is at .\nac.)uda by a couple of subscribers. I look every Monday inorning for It, and ir. vory Seldom fails to got heie as regular ascl">ck Work. I have been here for the lust fourteen months and can't say that I legrot it, for the longer one lives in Montana the more they like it, though it hasn't the beauty of nature ivs we havo it at luiuie. We see very little of green trees and grass. Of course I am speaking of -â- Vnac.iuda aline, for in other parts of ihe stale out of the way of smelters they havethe.se. I have visited a number of places of interest. I went through the Standard building last week, one of the largest printing esfablishmeats in .MiMi- tana, if not the best. Having a few goo"! tnonds iu this building, they were very kind III showing me through each depait- ment. Mr. Neltleton, one of the lioad machinists, explained to me all about the type setting machine which was very interesting to see, the hot lead coming out in full set type. You have likely Soon these before but they were'^uite new to me. There are eight of these machine*, cos'ing over three thousand dollars each, and they look like a lot of type writers riion a Mr. Lambi-e show«l us through t!:e press ri>oin, also explaining th» way ^Mper goes through the machines. From thire we went into the developing room and was shi'wn ihiough by a Mr.Lennox. and verything explained I dont think that you will hnd ptople every»he'e as kind as these pe^>plH wete to me,and lam sure that 1 appreci.ite it very much. I w.asout for Xmits dinner and suopor, on an invitation from Mr and Mrs.N.ttlo'on and daughter. They were very kind to me and it was as munh like home as any : p'aoe I have ever be«ii I must say that I times are a little dull but .Mr.. Strain ia doing a large share of the buaiutaa in the town." On Wednesday, January 7th, the home of Mr. Jas. Brownlee, lot 23, con. 14.0s- prey, was the scene of a pleasant event. Two different parties of young people assembled and drove to Mr. Brownlee's home for the purpose of expressing their I sorrow at the departure of him.'ielf and his I family from that vicinity and of showing the esteem in which thay were held. While a number prepared an excellent supper the remainder enjoyed themselves in asocial way. After the guests, number- ing a)-uut seventy live, had satistied the desires of the inner man the principal event of the evening occurred when Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee and family were pre- sented with an address and some beauti- presents, vii., two easy chairs for Mr. and Mrs. Brownlee, a toilet set for Miss Priscilla, and a fancy bank and other toys for Master Wilbert. After the presenta- tion the remainder of the evenitg was spent in songs,instrumental music,games, etc. The guest-s adjourned for their re pective homes pleased with the evening's entertainment. Mr.Brownlee and family move to CoUingwood and the best wishes of the cooiiuunity go with them and we join in wishing that they may long enjoy the comforts of their presents. ^&&&&&^ ^Sit^^^^^^^^'- I Stocktaking Sale Township Council The newly elected council of the town- ship of .\rtemesia, for tSe year 1903, met in the town hall, Flesherton. on Monday, the 12th day of January, 1903.
