WE are glad to have the opportun- ity of congratulating our old friend John Elliott, Principal of the Learn.- ington High School on the success of his school on the recent examina- tions.

Neck Ties worth 150, 50 at Early on Thursday morning of last week burglars broke it to the store of W. J. Bell, hardware merchant of Beeton. They attempted to drill the safe. but failing in this they broke off the combination and blew the door open. They obtained a collection of gold. silver and copper coins valued at $1.50. also $50in gold. Sixty-se- ven dollars in bills, silver and Jubi- lee postage stamps was overlooked. A small tin from the safe and $5 gold piece were found in the rear of the Town Hall, out no trace of the bur- _v giars has been obtained. â€"â€"Shelburne Free Press If any one has seen a farmer in town lately we would like to know it They have evidently been mak- ing use of the late spell of dry wea- ther Most of the crop is now se- curely housed and we will soon wel- come their return. The crops are' generally good. and saved w ith much tfifiiculty, and, we believe, compara- tively little damage. They may not think so, but there are no class who rejoice more in the farmer’s prosper- it_\.' than the townSpeople. That gen- e: al creeperity depends on the pres- parity of the farmers has perhaps never been more forcibly demonstra- ted than during the past two years.1 The whole outlook is brighter than it has been for many years. The general shortage of the wheat, crepe in many parts of the world'-_;with, a. large surplus in Canada, must, .we think bring better times here.

It. was the first time he felt really charmed with pipe music. Peeple who live in new countries are liable to be prostrated by malar- ial fevers. Inhabitants of cities, by reason of bad drainage and nnwhole- some odors, suffer similar diseases. Ayer’s Ague Cure is warranted as a specific for ali malarial poisons. COUNTY COUNCILLOR ALLAN of Egre- mont is rushing the harvest at a great rate. Last week he sowed 8 acres of Fall wheat on Monday, drew in ‘26 loads of grain Tuesday and cut and shocked 45 acres the balance of the week. Every day is Labor Day with Mr. Allan just now. The Orangeville Cement Co. has been formed to manufacture Portland Cement from a deposit of marl in Caledon. Pity the large Eugenia de- posits could not be brought to the attention of capitalists. These de- posits are very extensive and of first quality, and it only remains to get proper parties interested. Eu- genia should bestir itsel£.â€"â€"F1esher- ton Advance. Mr.Thomas \Villoughby of Elm- wood is new spending a few weeks in town. It is forty-nine years' since he first came to Bentinck and for twentv-five years he has been a reader of The Chronicle, and has still faith in it as he renewed his subscription for 1898 on Monday last though his term did not expire till the first of January next. If every man would act like Mr Willoughby, newspapermen would have no reason to grumble about delinquents. It is with feelings of regret, we an- nounce the death of Mrs. 'lhos. Cald- well of Orchardville, who departed this life on Monday last. The de- ceased was a young woman of thirty- three years, daughter of Mrs. Thomas, Smith at whose residence she re- mained during much of her illnessfi Last January she was a picture of health, of a genial and happy disposiâ€" tion, and much beloved and respected by all who knew her. She had an attack of la grippe which developed into consumption and resulted in her death. She leaves a husband and one llittle boy seven years of age. Her aged father and mother, three broth- ers and one sister survive her and lament the departure of one who was evidently cut down in the prime of life. We extend our sym. pathies to the bereaved families. Our Fall Exhibition will be heldl here on the 28th and 29th. Nearly everybody knows this; we mention it merely to jog the memories of the few forgetful ones. Other shows have been held round the country. Most small places like to have an ex- hibition of some kind. Many of these are poorly attended. Durham is not- ed for having the only genuine exhi- bition in Northern Ontario. Every- thino woxth seeing can be seen here. Sec1etary MacKenzie was at the In- duStrial in Toronto last week, and no doubt gave Manager Hill a few point- ers. No use multiplying sentences the past has established the reputation of South Grey Agricultural Society. Fair and honest dealing 1n the award- ing and distribution of prizes, con- tinued through a long series of yeats. has done for us what other places are trying to do by imposing on the local newspapers in getting 310 ads. for 150. badges. We have contributed . already a few hundred dollars 1n this .way, but the, pleasure to be deriyed from helping the poor is ample com: pensation, if you can only see it that way.

There are sixteen teachers in train- ing at our Model School this term. Principal Allan gives his whole time to the ~Modelites, while his class is being taught by Mr. Firth, who oc- cupied the same position last year. We have just learned of the death of Mr. John Beatty. teacher at one time in our school here. The young man’s death has been rendered pecu- liarly sad, inasmuch as he labored faithfully to acquire money to finish hlS education for a first class certifi- cate, which he succeded in obtaining at the recent examination. Death was caused by Bright’s disease and other complications. A ROW of fine shade trees belong- ing to Mr. Arch. Mackenzie, at Dur- ham, were hacked and barked on Thursday night last. This being the second attack upon them it is feared they are now ruined. The person who would commit such a crime has sunk- en very low in the scale of humanity and can only be adequately punished by a long period of solitary confine- ment. The town council rose to the occasion and promptly offered a re- ward of one-hundred dollars for such evidence as would lead to con- viction. \Vhy the repeated hacking and barking it is hard to understand as N r. Mackenzie is genial and kind- ly and one of the most popular of Durhamites.â€"~Hanover Post. AN unusual and. very exciting cir- cumstance occurred here on Saturday last. Mr. Peter Murcheson, a regu- lar commercial traveller, seemed to be suddenly overcome with what ap- peared to be religious mania. He was stopping at Mr. W. G. Van- stone’s as was his regular habit. In the early hours of the morning he made a rush for the street, in his night dress, shouting, rattling at doors, and calling on peeple to awake and be ready, the great milennium was come. Several of the citizens . gathered and tried to calm the poor l unfortunate man but without avail. 1 In the house at times he was furious and destroyed and demolished a great many things before he was restrain- ed. He had to be bound to be kept quiet. At times he would seem ra- l tional, then again burst out shouting ' and singing. He was taken to Owen Sound and committed to the prison {or a few days for safe keeping until his friends who had been communica- ted with can decide what to do with the poor fellow.â€"-â€"Wiarton Echo. Mr. Whitney’s meetings through- out the province are meeting with unparalleled success. Since our last issue he has addressed meetings at Shelburne, Collingwood, and other places. His fearless denunciation of the Liberal imismanagement is the key note of all his speeches. The re- ception accorded him at Mitchell. I erv-vâ€"â€" "__v on Monday last, where a number of Liberals shook hands with him and promised their sapport was highly gratifying to the Ontario leader of the opposition. "It is time for a change of Government ” is no longer a mere mythical motto. The delega- tion is not mincing matters, they are not depending upon oratoriael’ frills, but using hard facts and figures to force the bulwarks of the govern- ment. They have only one story to tell. or as Mr. Whitney puts it they make only one confession of faith on every platform. He liked to be fair and gave the Reform party credit for v--â€". a- a number of good measures. He: says Mr. Hardy admitted at. Mark- ham that they had a deficit,- ,though they always claimed to have a. sur- plus. '.l‘he School and License Systems- also came in for a share at criticism. London, Sept. 4.-â€"â€"The failure of. the potato, hay and corn crops in most of the districts ..in Ireland has resulted in the .gloomiest outlook for the winter. The chairman of the Michaelstown Board of Guardians, at a meeting held by that body on Thurs- dsy_last, declared Ireland is on the verge of a great agricultural crisis, and that numbers of. ratepayers will be compelled to go t_o the worklrouse. The price of bread is rising slowly in London, and here also the outlook for the winter is gloomy. This city required 70,000 quarters of foreign wheat weekly, independent of flour, and during‘August less than 35,000 quarters arrived per week. Not one- third of London’s bread’is made from English flour, and the bakers assert that with flour at the present figure the loaf of bread at bid. (llc) will send them into bankruptcy.
