The Swiss Boll Ringers gave a concert in tho town hall last Thursday evening undor tiio auspices of the Ciiizons' Bund. This company has appeared here on sev- eral previous occasions and the verdict of those who heard them this timo nun " better than over." The ball was pack- ed with an enihusiastio audience which was treated to an uxcellent program, in- cluding in addition to the bells, trick violin playini;, marimbaphone, muslcil glasses, aluminum chimes, musical rattles and comic singing and acting. There is an advertisement appearinu in m.iny of our local exchanges that to (iur mind no honorable newspaper man should wish to pu'olisli. This is in the form of a reading notice with no adver- tising iiiark.s to identify it and gives nhnl is apparently an innocent prescripiioii that can be lilled in any good pharmncy, making 4 sure cure f<ir certain ills. This preaciipti<m is made up i f a number of iiigredi'Jn's, but one of these is a propri- etary article and the prescription ia given simply to sell that article. The reader is put in such languago that it appears to he the editor himself who authorizes its publication. It is surprising that editors wdl lend themselves for money to such a prostitutiim ot their caUing. Any med- icine that cannot stand on its own merits without resorting to such underhand moans of foisting itself upon the attonti'in of siilTorers can be put down every time as useless. It is born of fraud and can- not be anythina else than a fraud of the first water. Its success is bound to bo Baptist Anniversary The anniversary services on Sunday last in the Baptist church were consider- iibly marred by had weather. Rev. .1. H. Cameron, B. A., B. D., of Collingwood, conducted both services, preaching two stnint; sennona. The concert in the town hall was also imfainrnbly aflVcled by rain, but those wlio were present oiijoyed a procram of rare o.'ccellenco. Short, pilhy,humoi'ou8, addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Caldwell, I. B. Lucas, M.P.P., Rev. Mr. Liiile,and Rev. Mr. (ianieroii of Colling- wood. Recitations of more than ordin- ary excellence were given by Mi^s Chris- 'eiie Richardson and Ellwond Genoe. A couple of .Socptch choruses were rendered in line style by the choir and Miss Lee gave a mandolin solo. The star enter- tainer of tho evening, however, was Miss Eita Irving of Owen Sound, who gave four Bcdos, among them being "I Love You," "Spring is Coming," and "The King is C<nniiig." Miss Irving has a clBar,»trong, sweet soprano voice under perfect control and of great calibre. Should she favor us here a'/ain .st»e will meet with a hearty reception. Rev. Mr. Kipp fulfilled tho oneriius duties of chair- man in a perfectly satisfactury manner. We would like to re|)ort aonie <>f the gidden nuiigeis of wisdom that foil from the lips of the various speakers, but space forbids. The proceeds nf this, tho first public anniversary of the Baptist churcli, although the edifice has been erected over twenty years, would piiy oxpenaes and still hnv.- a little to the good. Had the weather been propitious the receipts would probably have been doubled. When to Go Home.

On Friday evening last Mr. Thos, Silver, of the townline of St. Vincent and Collingwood, suffered a sevoro loss ill tho burning of hia residence. The fire started from a defective chimney. Moat of his household furniture wis saved, but noiwithstandinif Mr. Silver is a heavy loser. Wo understand he had 3000.00 in- surance on the house. â€" Reflector. W. J Ferguson, a prominent firmer living about two miles from Sholbiirne was drowned Tuesday morning in a well. Just how the accident occurred is a mystery, as no one saw it. A neichhor called to see Mr. Ferguson and his wifo sent him to the barn, but ho could not find him there, and, in aearehing around thoy noliccd the woll uncovered, where the dead man was found in about fourteen feet of water. On Monday evening one of Dr. Caiiiii- bell's handsome diivers slipped the bridle ofi" her hold at tho drug store and ran away. Next morning she was found in Sam Piatt's farm with one of hor fore legs broken, no doubt caused by jumping some of the deep ditches. An efTort ia being made to save the mare, but it is most probable that her days of usefulness are over. Tho beast was a high spirited animal, an excellent hurdle jumper, and her loss to the doctor is not measured by monetary value. He prided himself in a good horse. â€" Grand Valley Star. Messrs.
