We are pleased to learn that Mrs. Andrew Annis who has been very ill dur- ing the past few weeks, is improvise. Her many friends wish her a speedy r:- covery. . Mr. D. N. Smith is having the paint- ing of the exrerior of his new residence completed, which will add greatly to its already fine appearance. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Kirby, formerly of this place but now of Valentia, in the sudden be- reavement which has befallen them, their eldest son Robert having met. his death by accident while engaged in building a stable on his property in the Northwest. HALIB URTON Our merchants and business men are looking forward to a good summer trade. Mr. Ralph Clark, the obliging engineer on the Grand Trunk, has been forced to lay up for a few days owing to a lame back. The water in our lakes is exceptionally high. The oldest settler cannot remember when it reached such a high land mark. Mr. Franklin Austin has had to keep his mills idle owing to the high water. Interest is again being manifested in our mining outlook. Prospectors are al- ready scouriug the country. Mr. W. H. Lockhart, Gordon and E Strath-Miller . have been here and completed arrange ments for resuming operations in their mine at once. Notwithstanding that the snow came early the past season and remained late. , our farmers are all done seeding. There was very little frost in the ground owing to the depth of the snow, and consequent- ly there was very little done in the way of sugar-making. ' Mr. A. Niven, D. L. S, is buy these days making arrangements to resume his survey in new Ontario early in June. In 1897 he ran the boundary between Algoma and Nipisslnr’. In 1898 he continued the boundary north to James Bay. some 180 miles. This year he will run his survey to Biscotasing, some 150 miles from the boundary survey. The complimentary entertainment given by Col. Sam Hughes, M. P., in the new ball on Friday evening attracted the largest gathering that ever greeted any entertainment held in this village. The Search and Irish scenes were highly interesting, as was also the entertaining lecture by the mayor. But perhaps the local views in the vicinity of Boskung were as acceptable as any. An excellent picture of Mr. Walsh. 8 Balaklava veteran, and Mrs. Walsh, were well received. Miss McPhadden rendered several very appropriate national songs, while Miss 11be Hughes assisted her father with the views- The entertain- ment was so highly satisfactory that a request has been made to Col. Hughes to favor us with another visit next fall on the occasion of the official opening of our new hall. OJIEJZEE Our cricket club has not yet practiced owmg to the cool weather. The gloomy weather during the past week is hard to stand after such a nice season. Rev. Mr. Tait of Drayton preached for a call acceptably in the Presbyteran church. . The water is very high in Pigeon river. Cowans bridge is considered in danger- l 0118 state. Mr. Vance of Lindsay filled the pulpit: of Christ’s church last Sabbath morning { acceptably. The Kennedy-Nichols mill has added another new shingle machine and will be able to turn out shingles as quick as the quickest. Arthur McCrea, our young undertaker, son of John McCrea, sr., is the right man in the right place conducting funerals systematically, There were two funerals last week. 8 years, the beloved W. H. Spence, who for some time from The 24th of Mav bide fair to be a quiet day here. Many will go to Lind- say, Peterboro and other places. Our business men regret: letting the day go down here.

Milligan is looking up a sound young team of farm horses, for which a liberal sum will be piid. Mr. John McGaughey is a very busy man all spring superintending the work on his two farms. His increaSed purchases has not lessened his labor. but the clever landlord is equal to any emergency. A high time prevails around Cunning- ham’a Corners concerning drains and water courses. The services of an engineer would do away with much use- less talk on this matter and settle forever this question which has been in dispute for years. Owing to hazy weather and a rush of farm work the correspondence under this heading has been neglected for some weeks. I will now return to the ever- required duty with a desire stronger than a lull-flavored Havana seven for a quarter to delineate delicately the local news germs. Mr. Joe Robertson and John McCabe have purchased two high grade wheels of Massey-Harris manufacture. Mr. Joe McArtbur, who always goes about things in a liberal way, has decided on purchas- ing a tandem. Some of the married men are looking up wheels also gotten up on the principle of a baby carriage. Mr. John Wetherup sleeps peacefully since Peter Hawkins, esq., shouldered his gun and slew two fierce and hungry cats that had been sailing up and down the waste water pipe of his residencr, on many occasions from the first. chk; crow till about the time the milk-drawer calls around for the sky blue of Reaborc. All is quiet now. Tue cats will sleep beneath a favorite apple tree for evermore and John will feel happy as a small boy in a jam cupboard. Mr. James Robertson reports a good season so far for his heavy draught horse McClinker. Breeders in this line should grapple with opportunities When offered, givmg menof enterprise the merit they deserve. Too many are inclined to be- little well-bred animals and from a narrow-minded prejudice give precedence to useless scrubs which are only fit for ordinary purposes in their nattiest form. All things have a season of rest. This expression is applicable to trappers and fishermen also. A fat fisherman who has done business between Lake Scugog and Green Bay for twenty years informed us that hostilities has ceased till June. He also states it matters were allowed to run as they did years ago when poaching dur- ing the winter season was not so henious a crime as now. there would be less dead fish along the river banks. A well known tree planter from up the river pulled off his coat and vest in a hurry that he might with more freedom to his body, extract some maples from where they were growing. Moving farther into the woods on a similar mis- sion he decided on leaving the trees and! clothes till his return. “But he neVer, came back,” not to that particular spot. It is said he turned what clothes re- mained upon his body in hopes of breaking the spell that surrounded him, many times, but no cost or vest loomed up in the density of the forest. The pickets contained a plug of chewing, two dollars in money, a Joseph Rodgers jack-knife and several notes which he was about to collect. It. was supposed by \ many of the old settlers that spooks, ghosts and goblins disported themselves in those grounds and presumably they seized on the garments to balance the accounts for the maples. If a g'rl‘s in love, that’s her business : if a man’s in love. that’s his business ; if they’re going to marry. that’s our busi- ness. Hughan and Co.. jewellers.

The True Mission of Woman While so much is being said about the “new woman," and her “broader fields" of endeavor, it is refreshing to note such {1“ healthful delineation of woman's normal sphere as is here presented, clipped from an exchange to which it is unfortunately impossible to give the deserved credit. The woman here pictured is not the ‘new‘, or the “modern" or the “old," but simply woman in her grandest and noblest sphere as wife and mother, stripped of all restrict- ing and belittling adjectives :â€" “lf food badly selected, more badly pre- pared and most badly served_causes discont- ent. friction, and outbursts of badtemper among those who by ties of blood are near and should be dear to one another; if, in consequence of this friction, what should be a home becomes a hell, is it astonishing that the neighboring saloon, the street corner, or the dance-hall, with its attend- ant evils, offers attractive contrast? ii men frequent grogshops ; it growing boys spend their leisure in loaflng ; if young girls walk the streets and seek their amusements outside the cheerless, unin- viting, depressing home which the wife and mother has utterly failed to make what. it really ought to be; if those who have the right to look to her for clean and peaceful surroundings, for palatable and nourishing food, for the comforts that make family life a. blessing, are not more than vaguely conscious of their very lack. competent young women ever drifting into matrimony and maternity, blind, and woefully blindof their very blind- ness? ~ . . “What matter if the future wife of the workingman fail in her attempt to draw type-aeolian in groups from the object; fall to recall the bewildering rules and ex- ceptions in technical grammar; fail to extract the cube root of a number. which root must be carried to three decimal places, etc?
