"Oh, the life of a soldier for mine; Oh, the life of a soldier is fine." These were the words that reached the scribe"s ears on Thursday after- noon as he walked through the rain on Barriefield Heights, along the different dines, apparently deserted only for the sentry who walked up and down the lines, "with slow and measured tread." The song came from one of the many tents, raised by many strong voices, perhaps not musically perfect, but with the rng of joy and excitement that pervades the entire tented city, among officers and men. The men did not mind the rain on Thursday afternoon. They were all dismissed from drill and rifle practice and were allowed to do as they pleased. Every tent held a picnic party that afternoon, and the sound of string instruments and the latest popular songs could be heard all over camp.

Out in the county, there was frost carly in the morning. A Small Fire. Fire, supposed to have been caused by an overheated journal, broke out in Richardsons' clevator, about five o'clock, Friday morning, but owing to the prompt work of both the firemen and the night watchman, Robert Cou- sing, it was checked im the nick of time, with very little damage. Mr. Cousins detected the fire while going on his rounds, and hurriedly sent in the call, and the fire was put out with one stream. Stray Away Horses.

"At the present time everything | looks good," said a leading farmer of {the Kingston district, to the Whig, | yesterday, when asked about the crops. And this appears to be the |general opinion, too.

On Thursday afternoon, Councillor Rankin brought before the {| Portland, Storrington and Bath roads, for whose purchase, there had been pe- |titions received. He said that these 'roads should be bought up, and the cost distributed among the townships immediately concerned. The Bath Road, however, being wholly in Kings- |, ton township, had to be hought by that township itself and arbitrated upon by the township: The othér two roads passed through several town- ships. Couneillor Rankin moved, sec- onded by Councillor Frousdalé, that {the petitions be referred to the toll | roads' committee to report at the No- { vember session, |. Councillor Foley said he was oppos- ed to other townships except those in- {terested paying for these toll roads. | Wolfe Island paid for its ferry boat, which was really a road to the island, {and Pittsburg had bought up its own Let the other townships do the Councillor, Foley wanted a com- Imittee appointed that would repre- sent all sections of the county, and not leave the matter wholly to repre- sentatives of the townships interested. | Councillor Donaldson referred to the fact that the Ontario government had | reduced Frontenac's colonization road | grants to a mere nothing. He was op- posed to considering the purchase of toll roads at all until the county was forced to do it. The county had en- ough expense upon it. Councillor Spence said Pittsburg had purchased its toll roads in 1875, for | 235.000, and received no rebate from ithe county. He took the view that [the interested townships should buy {their own toll roads. Councillors . Miller and ° Donaldson imoved 'in amendment that the matter {be left over till the November session. The amendment was carried. Council- lor Rankin said this was merely chelv- ing the guestion. 'A similar résolution |had been passed in January, leaving | the matter over till June, and now it { went over till the end of the year. { roads. | same. | Councillor Rankin moved, seconded by Councilor Thomson, that the | amount of stock ($2,000) which the county council held in the Bath toll iroad, be transferred to Kingston town- | ship, on condition that the latter pur- chase the toll road itself. It was pointed out that the stock was nut | worth much, and might be given King- ston township as a gift. Councillor Donaldson said he didn't {like to vote either for or against the motion, just at the moment, and sug- gested that the matter be left over for a day, till the council could think over it. Councillor Rankin withdrew 'his motion, and a gmall committee was appointed to get information con- | cerning the stock and report to the councH, Councillor Rankin brought vp the question of a central heating plant for {the court house and jail. He had con- I sulted Prof. Gill, of Queen's School of Mining, who estimated that a hiating plant near the jail would cost under $6,000. Forty per cent. of the fuel {now used would be saved. The aver- lage yearly cost of fuel for the years 1903 to 1907 was $1,730. Prof. Gill would prepare plans and specifica- tions for $125. Councillor Rankin moved, seconded by Councillor Foley, that Prof. Gill be engaged to make plans and speci fications to be submitted at the No- vember session. It was suggested by Councillor Kennedy that another year be allowed to elapse before anything | was done. Let this year's fuel bill be considered. Councillors Rankin and Foley decided to withdraw their mo- tion. The reeve of Badiord was 'given auth- lority to have repairs made to the bridges in his township until the No- vember session of the council. A committee was appointed to re- port upon the application of the local master "of the high court for office (quarters, The good roads committee was giv- en full authority over the county cn- gineer. A deputation consisting of Capts. Gray and Knight, of the 47th Regi- ment, addressed the council, and 'ask- ed for a grant of $200 for a marquee for the regiment. On motion of Coun- cillors Donaldson and Miller, the grant was made. At the Friday morning session of the council, an invitation was read from Dr. H. R. Duff, chairman of the gen- eral hospital governors, asking the warden and councillors to honor the "Everything In Hats." " A ed ¥ - Five more cases of Straw Hats arrived yesterday at 'The Hat Store."

It has become necessary to increase the general rate to meet the county ex- penses. The treasurer reported that il would be necessary to double the gen eral rate, or raise it to three and one- third mills, the ,same as the consoli- dated rate. The county has gone far as it can in the way of borrowing. The general rate should have been in- creased some years ago. Councillors recognized that it was absurd to keep it at the present figure. The general rate has given a revenue of $10,500, whereas the county requires $20,000 for general expenditure, After some consideration it was de- cided, on motion of Councillor Feley to strike a rate of two and two- thirds mills for general purposes. An additional rate of one mill was also made for good roads, so that the to- tal tax rate of the county, this year, will be eight and one-fifth mills, an in- crease of two mills over that of last year, On motion of Councillors Rankin and Thomson, the roads and bridges com- mittee was appointed to meet the same committee of the Lennox and Ad- dington council, with reference to sev- eral small bridges on the counties' boundaries, and given power to act. It was decided, on motion of Coun- cillors Donaldson and Cronk, to print in the council minutes the schedule of sizes and prices of tile made in the county jail for the benefit oi town- ship clerks, so that townships may purchase some of this tile if they de- sire, 00 as BISHOP MILLS' OPINION. Writer Agrees But Thinks Cause is Intellectual. "Observer," writing in the Montreal Herald says: 3 There are many who will agree with Bishop Mills in his statement that the world (is not getting any better, but would ascribe the reason as intallec- tual rather than moral. The tendency of the age, with all its advantages, of acquiring knowledge of every kind, and the consequent effets that ac quirement of the same gives to every discerning and right-thinking person, surely is one of the rcal causes for indifference to the teachings of any of the 'churches' docirines and creeds. Some ono has said the only reason for believing in God, that there is a God, is because 'the idea of God has been useful. There are, however, many to-day who, as a result of education, free thought and personal contact, ana expenses, both in and out of the "church," become indifiereni {o its teachings, its obligations and com- mands. with the result that hencst men like the *"'bishop" see and feel the need of something more substan tial than mere blind, academic helief, MARRIED TWENTY YEARS.
