The Fenclon Falls Gazette. The Sultan Triumphant. Abdul Flamed, Sultan of Turkey, who has countenanced, if not actually commanded, cruelties to his Christian subjects which have thrilled the civil- ized world with horror, has signed a treaty of peace which, as an exchange says, " adds to his dominions,.gives him a stronger frontier. and leaves him the same master of the situation that he always has been, but with an increase of prestige which success in arms bc- stows.” The existence of Turkey as an empire is a disgrace to Europe, but the Sultan has owed his safety for years and perhaps varnishes.

Under the above heading the Globe says: ' “ The good roads movement has evi- dently enlisted the services of the press of Ontario, and that being so half the battle is won. The case is so good a one that it. only needs to be persistently presented to win universal acceptance for the claims made. So important is the subj-ct that many believe that the- l’rovincial Government could well afford to take hold of,it in an even more sub- stantial way than it has yet done. Whether the movement is yet ripe for that undoubtedly admits of more than one opinion. It is imperative before any broad scheme is launched that pubâ€" lic opinion should be thoroughly on it.

The turnout of live stock did not appear to be much, if any, above the average ; but there was an increase in the number of Tamworth swine, which â€"in defiance of our old friend George Matthewsâ€"we decline to admire. A rusty~colorcd, slab-sided matron of this breed, surrounded by a. numerous pro- geny, had a head which must have measured at least two feet from between her ears to the tip of her nose; and we could not help thinking that, ifseen up- on some pior man's run down farm in- stead of in a show pen, she would be ridiculed as a degenerate specimen of the porcine tribe.. The display in the hall, both upstairs and down, was very good. and there are always so many on- tries for the indoor department that a considerable addition to the number would hardly be noticed. There were the usual attractions in the shape of acrobatic performances and “ speeding in the ring," and the track was recently widened and much improved by the use of the road grading machine owned by the township of Ops. HYmeneal. The Methodist church, Fenclon Falls, was crowded to the very doors at seven o’clock on Wednesday evening by vil- lagers and others anxious to witness the marriage of Mr. Ellsworth Stoddard, of Saginaw, Michigan, to Maud, youngest daughter of Mr. J. Jr. Wilsonof. Fenclon Falls. The bride, who was given away by her father, was richly attired in a gown of cream cashmere, with white veil and orange blossoms ;;and‘ dresses ofthc same material and color were worn by the twc bridesmaids, Miss Lizzie Wilson of Islay and Miss Libbie Fisk of Fenclon. The groomsmen were Mr. M. J. \Vilbon. brother. of. the bride, and Mr. Joseph Lee; and Mr. Wilson of lslny, cousin of the bride, and Mr. Wil- liam Welsh of Fenclon Falls officiated as ushers. The marriage cencmouy, which only takes a few minutes, was performed by- Rev. T. P. Steel, pastor of the church, and at its conclusion the usual congratulations followed"; after- ,whiclr the newly married couple and the other members of the wedding party were driven to the residence of the bride’s parents, which was filled almost to overflowing by relatives of the family, manly ofwhom-haâ€"d come long distances to be present on the auspicious occasion. There was a sumptuous rcpast, to which all did ample justice, and the numerous presents to the brideâ€"some of them of considerable valueâ€"were greatly ad- mired. Thc happy pair left by the morning train for a trip to Saginaw, and will return in about a fortnight. The groom, who came to the Falls near- ly three years ago, is manager in the box factory, and is spoken of in the highest terms by all who know him. The bride was born in the township of Vernlam. but has lived here nearly all her life, and is one of the prettiest of the scores of pretty girls of whom the village is justly proud. The Gazette offers its congratulations to the. young couple, andâ€"like the rest of the com- munityâ€"wishes them happiness and fnrmed prosperity. Runaway Accident.

The building operations in the village this season have been a more nothing to what. they were in 1896; butâ€"besides the now mill, which was noticed from time to time as it progressed â€"thc fol- lowing buildings have been erected : On the north side of Colborne street, nearly oppOsitc the Moirthur House. Mr. Mac McCallum has put up a one- story frame building for his own use as a merchant tailoring establishment. It is 14x40 feet, divided into two apart- ments, with a high ceiling and a hand- some platc glass winde 7x9 feet. The walls are grouted and the interior is lined with narrow matched lumber painted white, instead of being plastered; On the other side of Colbornc street, north of Francis street, Mr. S. Nevisnn has added nine feet (all he has room for) to his two-story building, and the white bricks to veneer it are on the adjoining lot. On the north-east corner of Clifton street and Francis street east Mr. Chas. Kelly has erected~ a neat story and a- half frame dwelling, 20 x 23 feet, into which he moved a short time ago, and- to which a one-story kitchen 16x20- fcct is now being added. Mr. Thomas Lane built the foundation and chim- neys and did the plastering; the car- pcntcr work was done by Mr. Albert ll'enlcy ; and Mr. Kelly painted it him- self. On Oak street a brick stlancl‘ kitchen and woodshed lG-x ‘30. feet have been added tothc handsome [‘I'~llltEI)CO built last year by Mr. llcnrv l’uiey, who is the fortunate possessor of one of the- most comfortable homes in town. The work was done by Messrs. W. Nth-fl‘rey and George Littleton. on Lindsay street, south of the river, Mr. llarry Brooks has "only finished' an addition 2233?. foot, to his hotel. Downstairs, the addition will‘contain 3-- kitchen, bedroom and pantry; upstairs. three bedrooms, a closet and a snug par- lor- The stonework was done by Mr. G'corge Dartncll of Bobcaygcou, and the carpenter work by. Mr. Richard' Thompson of" Lindsay. The down- stairs rooms, instead of being plastered, are lined with narrow, thoroughly sca- soned lumber, on which a neat pattern. has been impressed by a machine mad?! for the purpose. It has an exceedingly pretty effect, does away with the expense of papering and ought to be very dur- able. On B'ond street east Mr. Samuel Cor- bett is building an- addition 18x24 feet to the from house he bought a short time ago from Mr. Moses Gatoholl. The- wcrk is being done by Mr. Albert H‘cn- lcy. Personals. Mrs. Dr. Wilson left on Monday for a visit of ten days or a fortnight. to Dr. E. S. Wilson of Buffalo, N. Y. ll. M. Mason, V.
