The fire at the station last week was of such a mysterious nature that an ln- v tg ton should irmed ately'be held. No suspicion rests on anybody financial- lconcerned lu the insurance, but there are rumors that should be clearod up or else certain persons may be wrongly ac- cused of bing the cause, accidentally or otherwise. It seems that an attempt was made to firo the stable a short time proviously. There are several things in connection wth this tire that require investigation. The News ]ast week had some verv severe things to say about the tire company. Were they deservod or were they not ? Citizens should know fromn the Council how f ar the criticism was deserved. Lot there be a thorougli investigation of, ail these matters. BETTEIR TIMES HFERE. On every hand we sec evidencos that btter times are horoagain. Tho Farma ers' Advocate says : Porhaps nover ho- fore lu the history of Canada has the condition of the business of the country in general shown itself to be more di- roctly influenced by the ag-ricultural situation as during the last few weeks. In every city and manufactuting town a decidedly improved condition is being foît. Wholesale houses have not for years had such liberal orders as of late, while musical instrument, stove, impie- -ment and other factories can scarcely keep upwith their orders. and chieflv becauso farmers are liaving a profitable yoar. Advance pricos for wheat is hav- ing an influence on other food products A good plan now is to keep the money -circuiating. If you, farmors, owe a dollar, pay it the day yon sell your farmn product, thon the nierchant and tradesman can pa y bis debts. and thus townspeople, mechanics, clerks, etc., will have the mone y to buy again freim you. Don't keep a dollar in your pock- et if you'owo it. Let October of tbis Diamhond Jubilee year soe thousands of debts paid and the people made bappy as a result. Opposite Ontario Bank. A PERSONAL WORD. We heartily detest the method punsu- ed by some newspaper publishers cf censtantly dunning their subseribers to "ipuy up. " Occasionally we uppcal te ours ln a fiendlY way and always the respenses reach us. We muy suy thut we nover muke an appeal through these columus except we want money very urgently, Thut is our condition ut this very tume, Very little cash came in during the summer mcnths and as our office oxpenses went on the samne, we had te borow money to puy our weekly exponses. Now we have to puy back thut berrowed monoy. bad our sub- scibers paid the money due te us on their subscriptions we should net have had to bemow,henoe wo did se to oblige them. Now we want eveny man wbo owes us a dollar to puy us ut once or withiu a few duys. It will take ever $1500 to square our obligations, se thut ne man should wait thinking othors will send lun mouey enough. We sheuld ho delighted te close this I)iamond Jubilee yeur entinely free of debt and if cur customers will puy us whut they owe us, -or lu other words-hand over te us the money they are carrylugîin their pcckets which belongs rightly to us-we shahl owe ne ma ought but love.

The greatest difficulty that apple shippers have met with lu pust veans has ean caused bythe rough handling of the fruit inl pic mýn Many douions suyý that the iess wen shaken off the tree bas been one-third greaten than, with hand-picked upples. As the crop is very light this seuson, and thé, price high, the growers are likelv te ho more careful of the fruit. It will, heweven, tempt bath gnewers and shippers te pack fruit ef infenior quality lu ondor te increase the eut put, This systein is just as detrirnental te the trade as thut cf sbaking the fruit off the trees If we hope te retain the trade that bas heen estublished lu the Euglish market, it is necessary te supply "'that nation cf shopkeepers" witb fruit that will heur close Inspection and prove palatablc te their custemens.

Our northern neighbors go into the matter with a spirit and enterprise that alwa 'vs augurs for success. To our citizens, Darlington and Cia rke friends we -would say drive ont to the Cartwright Fair on Friday and enjoy a day 's real pleasuro and profit. ORIGIN OF SOLINA. EDITOn. STATESMAN. On looking over some old numbers of vour excellent paper, I was much pleased with the graphic account of the first settiers of golina, which neighborhood I always considored the gardon of Darlington, but found that nothing was said cf the derivation of the euphonious name, Solina; and as ancient history is some turnes as intoresting as moder, I thoughit yuwould like to hear the origin of it. 'hu, village was known by the name of Pilchardtown until about forty years ago, when a meetinge was called tei con- sucer the rorety cf starting a Temp- erance L=ge which suggestion was at once concurred lu. Thon it was ask- ed what the naine of the lodge should bo, when some said Eldad, so-me Bethel and others Zion, the names of the church- os lu the neighborhood. When the school teacher, fearing that sectarian dissensions were likely te mar the good fellowship necessary'to the success cf any society, rnoved that a committee ho appointed te choose a namne and submit it te the next meeting and that the cernmittee be cornposed o.flessrs. Win. White, Charles Turner aiitlie school teachor, John Hughes, whic,. woq car- rîed. Messrs, Wite and Turner were young mon, stene musons, who were ut- tending schooi that winter. One after- noon the teacher asked them te romain afterschool te choose a naine 1er the Lodge. The toucher said, "New we must got an original namne, lot us take six lettons, three vowuls and three con- sonants-say A, 1, O, and L, N, S, put each letter on a card and draw separ utely. If it spells a good word lot it ho the naine, if net ivo can transpose tilt wo get a geed namne. It was net long till wo got SOLINA. The young mon wero much pleased te think cf creuting a word, and a the next meeting the naine was unanimously adopted and soon the school wvas called Solina The wagon-maker, the late Mr. Simon Lee, put it on evemv wagon hoe made after and ho made many good eues. The Post Office when established was called Solina. Soon it lest the old namne alto- oether and everybodv- called it Solina. 1don't know wliore 'Mr. Turner went, but Mr. White marmied a sister of the Rev. W. C. Beer and lives in Mariposa where hoe is a very successful farmer. The toacher, Mr. John Hughes, lives I arn told at Blackstock. VAN XINKLFÉ, jr. MARKET JOTTIýNGS. New evoratod apples are slling at double last yoar's pricos. This season's ex port of cheese and butter excoods in value the total expert of wheat and foeur at MVontroal by about $2,500,000. The hay crop lu the Province of Quebec is only half an average but Ontario's yiold is expectod t aeu the deficiey for export. Ocean frefight on bay is f rom.,12s 6d to 15s per ton. Apples are rating low lu quality, oîe! buyer reports that not more than one lin tonr bbls. cornes up to th estnad Some buyers who bargained at $2.2.5 and $2.50 are going to get left badily from prosont prospects. It is charged by a trade journal in Montroal that the whoat yiold of Mani- toba was 'exag-gera-ted with the mis- taken object of booring thA country. The C. P. R. is said to bc the source of the rmnor. Instead of W,00,000oo bush- els, 15,000,000 bushols will be nearer the yield. he question 'whether it is wise to sol' w atat the present price or hold it for chances of a r"s is one which interests a great rnany farmers jtist now. We do not presume to givo advice but will sav that se far as one cau )udge, the outlook is favorable for steady if not advancing price for good sound wvheat, s0 that we think there is little risk in holding first-class wheat.-Farmer 's Advocaté, Reports from England show that apples are being landed there lu bad condition and hence sales are very un- satisfactory-St. Lawrence for instanrce selling at three shillings to six. When the cost of freight, 2s 3id te i3s per bbl. and buying, packing and other expon- ses are paid, where does the profit corne from? 0f course, best red fruit lu good condition b1tings much higher-np to lOs, 12s, 14s, 18s and 22s.
