Wâ€"Yigjop Court "at _F1qsherton.‘ any remarks of ours regarding Priceville. the merchants and busi- ness men are the parties, and their remedy is in their own hands,â€" -put a little mere vim into your business, try and draw business to the village instead of driving it‘ away and we can assure you no one will be more pleased to note and nnblish the fact than the Priceville correspondent of THE CHRONICLE. We observe in your Top Cliff Cor’s items last week that he undertakes tohaul us over the coals for the re- marks we made a short time ago re- garding the slow style in which things were going on in Priceville. In reply to that piece of gratuitous imnudence on the part of your T. C. Scribe we would say, that we are prepared to back up all we ever put on paper, and no one having the smallest grain of common sense would attempt for a moment to write such an article as the 'l‘. C. cor. writes on the subject in q'.‘teSti0ll. His doing so simply shows his de- plorable ignorance of the subject and also his utter inability to understand the courtesy required of anewSpaper cor. in his remarks regarding other cors. We know this champion of the old, slow, jog trot school and person- ally we would consider that molasses running down hill with the tempera- ture below zero would travel at a Maud S. gait in comparison to him. If anyone should feel aggrieved at any remarks of ours regarding Pricevill-e. the merchants and busi~ ness men are the parties, and their Wm. G. Watson, of this village, Wheeled up to Walter’s Falls on ISL July, and reports a good time a'nd successful spurt-s all round. Miss E. J. Wright. arrived home from her school near Kilworthy, Ont. on Monday last. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. \Vatson drove to Walters Falls on Friday last on a visit to friends there. Our village was visited last week with an epidemic of courting and marrying. (For the former see re- port of Flesherton Div. Court.) The parties married were Mr. Thos. Hen- derson, of Proton, to Miss Maggie Ferguson, of this village, and Mr. John A. Beaten to Miss Minnie Mc- Laughlan both of Glenelg. Rev. J. A. Matheson officiated in both cases, and the weddings were attendtd by many friends of the contracting parties. Mrs. Singer, of Metz, 0115., is vis- itingac M: C. C. James’ at present, Dominion day, but owing‘tb the high wind prevailing it came very nearly proving disastrous to some buildings near by. Our Reeve very wisely called down the party that started the fire and had it put out with as little delay as possible. Such ex- hibitions of loyalty are all right if carried out under favorable condi- tions, but, when they are apt; to cause destruction of property they can be very well done without.
