A start will shortly be made in fnmt o{ of Sproules black where 150 feet will be laid. In this o^>nnection we are positive it would be a paying investment tu re- place alt old sidewalk as it wears out, with cement. The old plank sidewalk has seen its day and should be discarded far the more up to date and lasting cement, which proves much cheaper in the lone run. Plank is gning up in price and be- coming more scarce, while cement ia so low that it can be used by the most pov- erty-stricken municipal curp.iration. In the present instance the price to be paid is 11 cents per foot. It is alc&iiether likely that more than 150 feet will be put down this fall. Organization of the Fleshertnn hoard of trade was ooiupleted on Tuesday even- ing when oHicers were appointed as fol- lows : PresiJeiir, ,7. A. Boyd ; Vice^ President, D McTavi.sh ; Secretary, R. J. Sproule ; treasurer, W. A. .Vrmstrong. .\ committee wn.s also appointed to dtaft a sot of lules for guidance of the board. Other matters peitaining. to th* welfare of the town were discussed at length. We arc Uiokins; for distinct ber;eitits from this organization if it will only pull in unison, and a J-i.scarding of the old happy. Uo-lucky oiccr of things for one ofi more energy and psogresa. There ara very m *ny matters that can be dealt witlj by the busiiicss men through such an oi'gani- zation that would simply be intiored' if it were not in existence. The Walkerron Telescope, conimontiug on the Markdale house of refuge lighting- (juestioii, s;ys: â€" "This is just about the position Walkertoii is in, iu royard to the House oi Refuge here, Walkeriim agreed to contribute .?100 a year for ten years towards the Cost of the electric liglit.s, aiiil give in addition free warer.. But Walkertijil has faithfully lived up to the agreement and Markdale ought to do the same. It looks small to try to stjuinn out of an obligation once the object in making the pron'ise has been secured. What Markdale wan^s to do is to turn on the lights, and keep on smiling for the ue.xt ten years as though it derives real pleasure in -iupplying light for nuthimg. It is more blessed to give than toreceive." The Harristoii Review luvea holidays and wants more of 'em. Thsse are its remarks on the subject ; Our people hive 1p«couh'[bo Rccustoiued li' having a holi- day every few day that they have bucoine a public necessity, and everybody vwints to knpw the date of the next day off. Well, there is Labor Day some- tme soon, and we might observe Eman- cipation day if we could borrow a. nigger f,>r the occasion. And maybe, Won Lung or whatever they call him. could help out by suggesting some day devoted to the numerous little wooden gods iu his country In a spirit of sisterly goi d feeling a holid.iy might be declared on the date uf iho Newbiidge excursion tii Be I's biickyard.

They are the sidemn- est and saddest affairs and give people time to ruminate upon the scenes of act- ivity they will experience in the gr.ive- yard after they g<st comfortably Uniated there. ^';, 'The examiners of the Normal S*liool say thsre will be a great slaughter of the innocents this year in junior and senior leaving. Only about 50 per cent, will get their total, and that means that at least 50 per cent, wdl be plucked. Most of the candidates will get the necessary one-third on each subject, except French, but the total on all is the sticking point. The result will bo announced about the end of August. The Erin Advocate says: â€" If a business man sues fit to dhub his noteheads and envelopes witharutiber stamp and then lead outside»ta think there are no print- ers in towsb h« ought to be salted. Such a man as that when he conies to die should have an obituary and usual resolutiim of his lodge print ad on a board fence with a rubber stamp.. When he has a baby at the house, or a party, or a son or a daughter maorried, a full aaiiMiit of the im- portant evenrs might be printed with a rubber stamp on a piece of wrapping paper and tacked on his door. Come to think of it there are no er.d of uses a rubbes stamp might be put tuin the hand of an enterprising and economical man. Mrs. Hugh Crozier of Durham was thrown from a buggy alighting on the cement sidewalk and sustained injuries of a ssvere nature. William Kerr of Thombury was thrown from his rig and injureJ while driving in that village. Ho has brouuht suit against the municipality, and aska 83,000 as compensation for his injuries, allegini{ that the accident was due to ths bad condition of the road. While raking hay last week, George Dunning, an Amarath farmer, was struck uncoiicious by liuhteiiing. He fell from the rake and lay on She ground for some bime before refining consciousness. The horse was-raore f-tightened than hart, and ran away witk the rake. A recent siocm in the vicinity of Bank", Colliuu'wood township, did con- siderable damage. Two farmers in par- ticular, Mr. Walters and Mr., Wilson, are reported to have suffered severely. The hail stcjrm iu. that locality was so- violent as to cut the head oti' all the grain and leavewhole fields with nothing standing but the bare stalks.
