Armstrone attended the Assizes in Owen Sound on Monday. Gor.lon McKinnon has taken a position as clerk in F. G. Karttedt'a store. Mr. John S'.ewart of Powassan spent the past week with hit brother, George. Chaa. Perigoe visited his brother, I.H., faere this week, on his way horns from the west. Mr. Geo. Stewart and family will leave in a few days to take up their recijence -.at Elk Lake. Miss Brown, milliner at F. G. Karstedt's, left on Monday for her home at Melancthon. ^ | Mrs. Thomas Gamey of Flesherion spent the week end with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mri. John Drain, east j Third Avenue. â€" O. S. Times. Herb. Bsdjerow and Ellwyn Jsmieson returned last week from Cochrane, wheie the mercury doesn't know when to stop on its downward journey. | Mr. Lou Fither of the suburbs lost a valuable cow the other day. The animal sot at the feed box and, like some little boys, didn't know when to st'>p eating. | It may interest our readers at the north pole and in that district tu learn that our real cold weather only set in last week and that the mercury has not bumped much below zero yet. Mr. Andrew Sharp of Manor, Snsk , has erected a neat monument in the cem- etery here to the memory of his father, the late Jubn Sharp. Mr. A. Smith, the marble man of Thnrnbury, did the work. Ed. Colgan, of the Dundalk Herald, was in town last week, in an endeavour to coax Ed. Thompson's easoliue engine to work as a proper engine should. It was not persuaded as to the evil of its ways. Ml. Thomas • Fawcett of Shawansga, Parry Sound district, has been in town during the past week assisting his cousin, Mr. Geo. (Jtewart, in the purchase of a car load of horses to take to the mining regions. F. G. Karstedt parted with his horse "Frank" last week. Stewart Bros, were the purchasers. Frank is an old friend of the family, and it was with regret thati he was sent to his new held of labour, the northern mining land. Word was recei»ed here last week of the death of Mr. John Sheppard, West Toronto. Mr, Sheppard was a renident of Flesherton while his son was in busi- ness here. Interment took place at Mt. Forest, where he formerly resided. Meaford will vote on a by-law for $5,(J00 to improve the streets. Froai in- formation received we judge that the who are erecting the fence and qetting it in shape this week in preparation for Christmas. It will fill a long felt want, and we hope the gentlemen who are in- teresting themselves will be handsomely rewarded by good patronage. NV'e were pleased this week to hear from W. F. Lever of Letbbridge, Alta. Mr. Lever is a son of W. J. Lever, near here, and is prospering in "Sunny South- ern Alberta." Ue had purposed visiting bis parents this Christmas, but the da- manda of business were too strong to be I ignored, and the visit is to be postponeil. Mr. Lever is a subscriber of The Advance in common with the hundreds who have ' left this part to aucceetl elsewhere. I Municipal mutters in Artemesia are ex- ceedingly quiet. To use a slang phrase, ' there is "uuthmg doing," that is, nothing fur sure. We are informed, but not authoritatively, that Mr. Carson is a 1 prospective candidate for the deputy- I reeveship. As for councillors, we have hoard of no new names to come before the people. Even aome of those handed us last week are said not to be ambitious. I It is possible and even probable thiit the reeveship will go by acclamation this year. Mr. Jos. T. Clark,chief editorial writer I on the Toronto Star, arrived in England this week fur the purpose of representing bis paper during the interesting political storm that is now passing over the Brit- ish Isles. He will cable an article each day and also supply letters. No duubt the wisdom ot the Star directorate in sending this clever journalist across the sen will be demonstrated by a largely increased number of readers. As a native of Flesherton, we hold here a warm inter- est in Mr. Clark and are pleased to know he was chosen from among so many com- petent men to cover this important and difficult assignment. He will make good. Avery inteerstiog case was tried before Judge Britton at Owen Sound this week, that of Walters vs. Walters. This was a case where the f&ther deeded his farm to the sun. Later the son married and the father was turned out to shift for himself. A fter hearing all the particulars the .ludife decreed that the sou should pay his father thre» dollars per week, with that sum a charge on the property. The Judge also took occasion to scathing* ly rebuke the young man for kis treat- ment and dismissed him with Home good advice. The pai'ties live near Walter's Falls. With the Churches The annual meeting of Chalmer's church. Ladies' Aid Society w:i8 held on the 7th inst, when oAicers were elected for the ensuing year as follows : Hon. Pres., Mrs. A. S.VanDusen ; Pres., Mrs. Jos. Radley ; Ist Vice Pres., Mrs. W. L. Wright ; 2nd Vice Pres., Mrs. Price Teeter ; Sec. Treas. , Mrs. Jos. Black- bum ; Visiting Committee, Mrs. M. Ferguson, Mrs. W. J. Stewart, Mrs. Miles Thistlethwaite. The retiring President, Mrs. VanDusen, who filled the office for many years, was given a hearty vote of thanks for her faithful and much appreciated services. A resolution was adopted instructing the secretary to convey condolence to Mrs. J. M. Duncan, a memlier of the society, recently Weft of her husband and son. The annual report of the Sec. Treas. showed 39 memoers on the roll and that the finances were in a healthy condition. At a meeting of the joint committee of the Flesherton, Rockvale, Ceylon and Price ville Baptist congregations a call wiui extended to Rev. Jan. V. Laughland of Gravenhurst to become their pastor. Mr. Liiughland has accepted the invita- tion, and is expected to enter upon his duties on bis new field on Dec. 19th. Smith Got Damages At the Assizes in Owen Sound this wtek a case of interest in thissectii>n was tried. A couple of y^rs ago R. Smith of Durham made a contract with Walker & Filchie to cut 300,000 feet of lumber out on the town line of Artemesia and Euphrasia. After cuttinz 85,000 feet of ..,- »/^.. .,, „ , ^ • .. i_ .., I lumber he was called otf the job owing to $5,000 would hardly bo sufhcient, but it difficulty between the partners. S.iTith would make a beginning! If it oarriea sued for damages. The case was tried it will kill the supply of the mud-slinging newspaper men of that village. We understand that the Bell Telephone Co. will innaugurate a cheaper rate for farmers connecting at the Flesherton ex- «hange,ao that any one desiring telephone a.'rvice should at once apply to Mr. Armstrong, local maunger, at Flesherton, who will explain the matter in-U'e fully. Mr. F. Tait, who has had charge of Sproule's grocery store fur the past few months, will leave on Chri<<ttna8 day. He will travel in the Niagara dis- trict, with headquarters at St. Catharines, for the Campbell Milling Co. of Toronto. We regret to learn uf his intended depart- ure. Mr. P. Munshaw of Eugenia entertain- ed about twenty guests on Thursday evening of last week, mostly old friends from Flesherton and Markdale. W. MoFarland occupied the chair. Toasts were drank to the host, the king, Eugenia business men, and tu the Itdies. A jolly evening was spent. Mr. J. Hill of Swinion Park captured a loon in his field about a week ago in a peculiar manner. The bird evidently be- came exhausted while flying and came to the ground. Being a bird that cannot rise off the ground it was easy to capture, although it fought its captors. It is still living. Mr. Hill also has a pair r.f chip- by Judge Brittun, flOO and costs. who allowed Smith "I say whalflpjtink," said the Tire- some Jay, as he roamed around on his futile way, and the things he said, in our common mon', weren't worth i cent and a half a ton. And fidks avoided the Tiresome Jay ; they saw him coming and hiked away ; they hid in alleys or crawled in holes, or scrambled up to the tops of poles; for things unpleasant and things that jolt, were sure to come when he shot his bolt. It came to pass that the Tire- some Jay curled up with c>>lii) and passed away ; and not a soul in the village wept when out neiith the jimson weeds he slept, and never a citizen heaved a sigh whi-n the fine large hearse with its plumes went by. For our time is brief, and we've many chores, and we haven't time for the ! tiresome bores ; and we haven't time for the man whose brain is stored with scan- I dais and legends vain, and we haven't ^ time to bo fooling around with the men whose sayiusrs will leave a wound. When I you go down town wheie the toilers I sweat, say something pleasant, already I yet ; and hang a smile on your honie- ' grown face, and swear this world is the smoothest place! And when you croak, all ohe village guys will weep till they spavin their blooming eyes! â€" W[alt. Mason, in the Toronto Star. Dog Ran Amuck Considerable excitement was served up munks and a black squurel and thinks of in Miirkd.de Monday afternoon when a starling a menagerie. Messrs. Fivd N orris and Ot>o. Harris are erecting an open air skating rink on A. Munshaw's property in the s^mth end. The spot is peculiarly ajapled for a rink, being low ground and level. Mr. Mun- shaw has donated the site to the boys. dog that it is feared had rabies attacked a number of people and bit six or seven <)i her dugs. A Jittio sou of Mr. W. Mc- Kechnie was knocked down andscintcbed but it is not thought he whs bitten. Thus. Matthews was attacked and had his ovtficout badly torn. The animal was a .stray line. It wii,s kill, d and llit- hmd sent away for analysii. " Dundalk Mr. Riibt. Einncar of Maxwell is in J. E. Richards' store. Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Lockhart and chil- dren, who recently returned from Wey- burn, Sask., left on Monday for Peter- boro, where they will reside. A gentleman from Hamilton, while vis- iting friends in Proton, enjoyed a hunt in the swamps beyond Ventry and met with rare good luck. He took home with him to the Ambitious City a wolf and thirty rabbits. A man gets a severe mental jolt when he discovers for the first time that his strength is on the wane by the weight of years. Una Jay List week Mr. John Madill th(jught he had the strength of former years and wa« able to move a porch a*: his residence ainglc handed. He called Mrs. Madill from her household duties to give him just that little extra assistance which was required. Siill the porch refused to budge. A neighbor lady in passing sikw the situation and wishing tu play the part of Good Samari- tan gave the others a lift. The structure after cousidsrable prying and tugging gave way suddenly and collapsed. Both Mr. and Mis. Madill wore slriick with flying timber and the other lady was hoisted several feet off terra firma, but she came down all right witbuut injury. Mrs. Madill was struck in the side and it is feared some ribs are broken. The next time Mr. Midill haa a job on hand of a similar kind he hai decided to have a bee and aak the men â€" Herald.

Canadian High Jumpers Out of some twenty horses known to have records of ovei seven teet in high jumpinsz, fourteen are Canadian bred, says R. P. Stericker, the noted American horse judge, in a carefully compiled ar- ticle on Cnuadian Hunters and Jumpers, published in the current ChiistmHS num- ber ot The Farmer's Advncako and Home Magazine, of London, Ont. This aiticle lends special point to the striking front- cover illustration, a painting by Paul Wickson, the celebrated Canadian artist, representing a horse goini? over a hurdle with a lady up. The leading article, en- titled"£ducatiou for the farm," is a suc- cinct exposition and review of those phases of the new education movement relating more particularly to the interests of agriculture. The question, "Does Apple Growing Pay?" is answered by a detailed account of the first year's results in the Farmer's Advocate deinonstraiion orchard at Lambeth, Ont., tho returns from which, after allowing liberal wages, and every other item of expenditure, amounted thi:, past summer to over 14 percent, interest on a hypothetical valu- ation of 81,000 an acres. The Home Magazine, always a popular department, is this year particularly .strong, espeuiUly ill respect to illustrations, with which, by the way, the whole book of eighty-fuur pages is replete. The price of this special ia>'\io to non-subscribers is 50c. To subscribers, it goes instead of a regu- lar issue. The subscription price of The Farmer's Advocate is $1.50 per year. While i> number of tho town were out near Duncan, shooting rabbits, John Lougheed of town received about ten grains of shot in the side ot his face, one grain going through his cheek into his mouth, another penetrating his temple and other grains hittinu him on th>' side of the head. Geo. Patterson in shooting at a rabbit crossing ihe road, swung around too far in taking aim, and Mr. LouL'heed who was between him and the rabbit, though not exactly in line, received some of the scattered shot. He w <s tak- en to Dr. Moore's office where his wounds were drcKscd. though some of the shot has not been located. At present he is doing well and no seri'His rtsults art auticipatod.-^Uerald-Kettector. The large barn and stable belonging lo Stephen Wilde, Desboro, was completely destroyed by fire last Saturday evening, together with a large part of the season's crop.
