COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE The annual concert of the public library took place in Twomey’s hall last Thursday evening. It was a pronounced success. The hall was crowded. the proceeds good, and; the program firstâ€"class. Rev. J , Garbutt made a splendid chairman, and added greatly to the success of the evening. All the numbers which cemprised the program were good and well rendered, but particular mention must he made of the sing- ing of Miss Porter and Mr. Jarvis. Miss Porter possesses a. very sweet. voice and a most pleasing manner. Mr. Jarvis has a very fine voice and rendered his numbers in first-class style. The concert ended with Mrs. J arley's wax works, which were well represented and very amusing. The annual convention of the West Victoria Teacher’s Association was held in the Public mhool, Fenelon Falls, on Thursday and Friday last. The attendance was good and the sessions interesting. Owing to the death of the late president, Mr. B. H. Maybee, and the absence through illness of the viceâ€"president, Mr. C. H. Lapp. Mr. Rennie of Oakw-md was called to the chair. The first address given was "Nature Study in 1he Public School," by W. H. Elliott B.A., of Toronto Normal School. Mr. Elliott is a. scholarly, gentle- manly speaker. and handled his sub- ject in such a manner that although he spoke for an hour, and the heat was almost unbearble, all pmt regretted when he took his seat. His address was a treat v:3-.E:h :fcldcrn {all to c:.r lot to hear. Mr. Mitâ€" Mr. Wm. Campbell's windows at- tracted a great deal of attention on Saturday. They were both decora- ted very beautifully in honor of “Victoria the Good.” In one win- dow was a picture of the late queen, very handsomely wreathcd. Both windows were draped with beautiful flowers, flags and ribbons. the color scheme being tri-color and the effect was eXCeedingly pleasing The d; ath of Miss Lottie Nugent cast a gloom ox er her young friends on Redner's Point, last week. She was only sick for about two weeks, though she had never been very strong. The funeral took place on Thursday, and the members of the Sunday school class, to which she belonged, acted as pall bearers. The girls of the south ward school and .the teachers attended the funeral 'alâ€" so. Lottie was a. girl with a very sweet, winning disposition and will be greatly missed by all her friends. Her bereaved parents and brothers and sisters have the deep sympathy of their many friends. Messrs. Ed. and of Lindsay, Spent Falls. reLUl llcu UAA Au~_.v-._ Mr. and Mrs. S.

The Friday session opened With an ad- dress from Inspector Stevens on “‘Birthright of every Canadian.” gm: Stevens’ talk was very interestâ€" 1' and Well received. He showed 3himself to be a gentleman, and a. the responsible position he now fills. [He is known already to a large num- lber of his teachers, and is becoming Â¥respected and admired by all who are Emeeting him for the first time. Mr. EMosgrove, of Kirkfield, then taught ‘a literature lesson, to -a 3rd class in a most able manner. Dr. Gould of iFenclon Falls gave a short. address, 3 ' ' ' rs to Fenelon lFalls, as a member of the council. :;The Dr. gave a short reminder of -‘-=- M..- cpl-inn] davs. in his usual :;The Dr. gave a snort remiuuc. v. :his own school days, in his :Isual §happy manner. Mr. Elliott then {gave a most masterly address on l“Habit in Education," but to the iregret of all, was unable to finish it ‘for lack of time. Rev. J. Gax‘butt ,followed with a fifteen minute ad- idress on the “Relation of Manners land Morals to‘ the public school,” :treating on the ethical, rather than [the religious side of the subject. 1Mr. Garbutt’s address was Very fine, but altogether too short to suit his hearers. The visiting teachers were :taken up the lake in the “Kawar‘ ltha” after lunch, the float being .placed at their disposal by the coun- Zcil. The afternoon session was fmuch hurried. L. T. Locheard, M. LA” 'Of Toronto, gave a short, but fmost interesting talk on “Phonics,” iand E. A. Hardy, B.A., of Lindsay, gave a very instructive talk on {“Literature.“ As it was nearly itime for the. afternoon train. the lecture of Mr. Elliott had to be jomitted, to the very deep regret of fall. . 7- Three other papers by local .teachers, Mr. Birchard of Cohoconk and Misst-ie and Miss Macniven of Fenelon Falls were also omitted. A sad but most appreciated part of the lFriday’s session, was the moving of litwo votes of condolence to the mem- g ory of .the late Inspector Reazin, and lthe late B. H. Maybee. of Fenelon The ladies of the Farmers’ Insti- tute of West Victoria met at the home of the president, Mrs. Wm. Fell on Friday 13th., inst. The meeting was opened by the president early in the afternoon with a large attend- ance from far and near. Miss Foley gave a well-prepared paper entitled: “The Woman With the Broom.” which was well discussed. Mrs. Min- thorne read a very amusing paper on “How to Manage a Husband,’ which caused a gut deal of jolly discussion. Mrs. Geo. Brooks follow- ed with a. profitable talk on “Plants and. How to Raise Them," and the mious questions that were asked Were most satisfactorily answered. Attheclose oft-he meetingasum- ptuous tea was served to which ev- ery one present did ample justice afiter which the visitors inspected the fine dairy of Maple Lake farm and viewed the working of the separator where the cream was taken from the ftesh milk of sixteen cows.

Mr. Ross had given a good reason for not taking up the temperance bill this session. and protested against the way he °had treated the. 200,000 voters who had declared unhesitat- ingly that the bar must go.

B.D., pastor of the Baptist church, preached the second sermon of his series on “The Christian Man." The theme was “The Chris- tian Man as a Citizen," and under that heading Mr. Hughson under- took to say some very practical things about modern citizenship. The congregation was large than usual, and there is no doubt that if Mr. Hughson more freqyiently discussed the objective phases of the Christian life, in the fashion that he is so capable of doing, the capacity of the. Baptist church wouid soon be severe- ly taxed. Here are some extracts from the sermon: over t6 a committee. cumsmm man ARE NEEDED .1 1'0 mam OUR Pouncs I am not among those who think that public life is no place for a Christian man.
