The blacksmith must bo lonesome now since the Sooner Club have quit holding meeting* in his shop. The members have all gone to work. I wonder if the pheasants, bear, wild gee and groundhogs at Eugenia have caused tbe suckers to come up the Black Creek in greater numbers than usual, or was it that the Hydro people were afraid th%t visitors wouldn't know the differ- ence and banished themj? Well, visitors needn't niake that mistake, as the Hydro fellows of course wear clothes. Ask John BoUnd what he thinks about it. Seeding ii progressing flue.

Telephone Visiting Qaite a number of persons in Walker-, ton and vicinity are reported to be doing their visiting on the telephone, and l imttimes a weary business man, trying to secure a connection on an important matter, is constrained to believe that oceh Is either tbe case or else that a number of individuals have very little else to do but harp on the telephone, Telephcmti* U often a desease of the unoccupied and lazy. Tne person who is too slothful to make a visit, business or social, is still able to drag the telephone instrument to his or her elbow, to engage victim's ear and t < poor forth all the trivial gossip and the banal inquiries that kill time and friendship. Of course, politenesses need- ed in telephoce conversations The tone of ttie voice, the form of address, should be as discriminating as if a yard and not single mile separated the talkers. But it i? nececsary to remember ih' th person at the other end of the wire may have been interrupted by the bell in the midst of most important busituss. A ststem uf telephonitis is that it recog- nizes n>> rights in others. The person who has it doei not consider that he or she ni.\y be breaking in on it man who is trying to complete a sale or a woman en- gaged upou the multifarious duties of a household. Th telephone fiends want to telephone to s 'uiebody and that some* b.'Jy must take the cocsequences or ! e accused of ru.U-iuss. Thoe h> bate telephonitia beliore that. l<y calling up a di-a.'u peraous and ch.Utetaog with them on every subject from the weather to the latest "movie," they have accomplished a moruiug's work. Tne persons ctllcd up in iy be interested iu these topics, tut not in i'.i.".r discussion at that puticular time. As to this point, the telephone fii-iul has neither knowledge u r con- sideration. It is enough for the n.ua thi: tho telephone U cheap and quick way of trapping a victim. The only escape front cue of ti-.cso unsusers of the telephone lies iu cold and somewhat brutal tratuicnt of the guilt*. How to apply this must suggest itself to each sufferer sccorvliug to th* circumst -UK-IS and his knowledge of th.< offender. Oa a charge of theft of a horse blanket from i he horse sheds in Dundalk.

When the service was orr it was decided to erect a church. An Engliah settler, with a deoided Cockney accent, who was one of the converts, gave very generously in the erection of the tew build-.ng. It was decided to recognize his libenlily in the cause by iiing him the right to name the church This wts something new to the Englishman and he asked for advice. It was suggested that as Ep- T'h was the name of the parish where John Wesley's father was reotor, it *ould be fitting to call the new church Epworth. The Eu^Iishman waa delighted. " Bepworth it will b*," he c*eclred.
