The threshing is being done this year by the smaller machines, as help cannot be had for the larger outfits. he engines used are straw burners, and the wages paid here to the men are, per day: Engineers, $6; separator men, $7; firemen, $4.50; tankmen, $4; pitchers, $4 = The cost of threshing per bushel is: Oats, six cents; wheat, seven cents. Sixty bushels is the average drawn to elevator at each waggon load, On some farms port- able granaries are used. e C. P. R, is very busy in trans- porting grain to the east, and many trains are seen going through here to Winnipeg loaded with grain. In some places here farm help was short owing to farmers' sons having enlist- ed, and again there are some families who have not allowed their boys to enlist. Nesbitt has given 10 per cent. of their boys to active service. The question now is to save the po- tato crop, and help is not available, but Winnipeg will likely close her schools for one week to allow of the boys and girls going out to help the farmers save their potatoes. John S. Winter, a former employee of the B. of Q. Railway, is agent for the C. P. R. at Nesbitt. Dr. Wood- ruff, of Sydenham, is at present here, having been in business here for son. oat in the drug store and practising is profession, The farmers here are all in good circtimstances, and good business is being done by the merchants. One thing we notice here is the very wide streets in the business parts. being about one hundred feed wide. It was a very interesting trip for us, as we viewed with interest the fine lakes and rivers, the lakes being dot- ted with small islands, with here and there the tents and cabins of hunt- ers having the trophies of their hunt nailed to the outside Nf their cabins. The political outlook here is hard to determine, as very litth¢ is said here at present, but the residents here are strong for conscription. In some instances the women gave the men who were holding positions the tip to enlist, and they would fill their positions. The only help available here now 1s aliens, more Austrians than others, Austrian harvesters are now leaving here with well filled pockets for Re- gina to help out in harvest work there. We anxiously await each day the arrival of home news found in the Daily Whig sent to us by the mana- ger of the Whig, which we appreciate S. WINTER. A FAMILY REUNION White Lyndhurst, Lyndhurst, Oct. 8.--At Lyndhurst on Thanksgiving a pleasant event took place at the home of Mr and Mrs.: G: L. White, when a Thanks- giving dinner was given in honor of Mrs. White's three sisters and broth- er, who had for several years been scattered. apart over Canada and United States, but had once more gathered together at the sister's home to remew youthful experiences and recall happy reminiscences. Together with the children and grandchildren, there were present from a distance, Mr, and Mrs. W. L. Kelly, of London, Ont; Mrs. A.

Bay, It seems the food coritroller had granted a special permit for the oc- casion, as the festive board was well inden with all the delicacieg that sat. isty the appetite of man. The rest of the day was spent in talking over old times. Cameras were to be seen on every corner, and many the pleas- ant group, both old and young was carried away, as a remembrance of the happy occasion. As the day drew to a close the guests one by one silently stole away, each with the thought uppermost in his mind, "Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again."

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week this store ran what was called a "one cent sale." The advertising for the sale was conducted as the Mahood Drug store always. advertises--exclusively in the British Whig. The results were voiced in the enthusi- asm of the ma ment in talking about the sale. "People who have been in New York, Boston, Toronto, Montreal and other places have often and often asked us why we did not have one cent sales here. We ran the sale because of the demand of the people. During the three dats, due to the Whig advertising, the store was packed with people.
