THE excellent breeding qualities of Mr. “’11). Bradley’s Shorthorn cow, Fry, were fully exemplified at the \V'innipeg Industrial. where her calf was winner of the second prize.

Tun Glenelg Centre Correspondent wasa little disappointed over the non-appearance of a paragraph in his budget of two weeks ago referring to the Pomona man. The truth of the matter is we were not afraid of hurting the feelings or giving too much of the pedigree of either of the scribes. During their discussions they have both been "driving” at one another, in a way that the out- side public might regard them as un- friendly, a relation which we believe does not exist between the two gentlemen. To make amends for our action in chopping out the item of two weeksago in the Glenelg Centre budget, we publish what he says this week, giving him the last word in the apparently unfriendly controversy. We hope the columns of the Chronicle will not be the means of causing unnecessary ill-feel- ing amongst neighbors. All ques- tions of public interest may be dis- cussed with freedom as long as per- sonalities are kept out.

Scott, of Priceville, and Miss S. A. Scott, of Durham, have succeeded in the Junior Leaning (second class) examinations. ;,Mr. Firth, of Edge Hill, has also captur- ed a second. There are others also, no doubt, to whom we would like to refer, but lack of definite :knowlege in the matter prevents us giving voice to our congratuations. l It has come to our ears that of late some lady has been writing anonymous letters denouncing the character of another lady citizen. It is certainly the duty of any good Christian member of the community to warn an erxing one against irregu- larities. but ol all the mean ways of accomplishing good, there seems to be nothing meaner than the anony- mous letter system. Yet such snake- in-the-grass adventurers are . found in nearly every community, but when discovered themselves and their characters are brought to light they are generally found to belong to the scum of creation. Jealous of all their su >riors, and as they occu- py about the lowest position in the land it naturally follows they are secretly antagonistic to to all the rest of the world. The imputation in the case‘under consideration is a charge for low gossip, a kind of con- duct, we frankly admit that no lady, deserving the name of lady, will be Priceville Grist Mill In Ashes Anonymous Letter Writing.

The river that runs through Chi- cago is said to be the only one into which a person can stick his finger and leave a hole when he takes it out The Saugeen at Durham isn’t quite so bad yet. An anonymous letter writer is meaner than the fellow that milks his neighbors’ cows. There’s less chance to catch him. If a person can’t joke without be- ing; vulgar, he should rent his joke mill and go out of the business. “Kit ” in the Mail explains why a man should precede a. woman going up stairs. It would prevent. him seeing the holes in her stockings. A lady teacher told her admirer she would willingly marry only she hates to trade a four hundred dollar school for a four dollar man. A shrewd business man asks why in thunder he should pay a printer a dollar a thousand. when he can buy the paper at a dollar and a quarter and doing the printing himself with a. rubber stamp. The British know enough to come in out of the rain, but What they want now is to get: into De Wet. One of our lady typos says she hates to set up a big paragraph for a small joke. A preacher putting up stove pipes declared that if he wasn’t a minister of the GOSpel he’d kick the darn things all to smash. “I want a mansion in the skies ” was one line of an anthem. This is how a lady choir sang it: “ I want a man, I want a man. a manâ€"shun in the skies. Thermometers have been higher this summer than they have been for forty-six years. This is another in- stance of growth under “ the grow- ing time ” of the Grits. “ Go west young man.” was Horace Greely’s advice. The Durham La- crosse boys tried it and found it a failure. Three straights againsc them ought- to be convincing. It’s painful to Witness the agony of some females when they hear the word leg. These are the ones who put trousers on pianos to cover up the bare “limbs ” of the nasty vul- gar things. A prayerful Zionite suggesting that prayer be ofiered for rain was interv rapt-ed by a more practical member of the congregation x'vho informed him that the wind wasn’t in the right direction. Mr. David Hicks, B. A., who takes the position of Classical Master in our school here arrived in town Mon- day. Having known him some years ago when we. too, were agonizmg on the best methods of teaching the young idea how to parse, it was a pleasure to renew acquaintances. For his own sake and the sake of the school, we hope his work may prove the wisdom of the Board in selecting Mr. Hicks to the position he is about to fill. It’s true we don’t know everything, Fred, but we know enough not to be fooled eternally. Some hotel boarders would go to church Sundays if they could only find their hats. Pete Paterson is hatching out a fish yarn for us. He’ll hand it in as soon as it’s big enough for circula- tion. Mr. Edwin D. Evans, of the firm of Evans Dodds, of Chesley, visit- ed his friend and school mate J. A. Black after a lapse of twenty-four years. Mr. Evans has purchased the Cheslev .‘dill and was mixing busi- ness with pleasure, securinga numâ€" ber of orders for their flour to be shipped here. Mr. Evans was high- 1y pleased with the improvements in Durham since he lived here. Mr. McLean, the venerable and genial postmaster of \Valkerton, passed through town Sunday accom- panied by some of his staff. They had been visrting Glenelg friends and on their return looked in for a moment to see some of their Durham friends, the families of Mr. Jas. Carson and Mrs. A. MacKenzie. be- ing some of the favored ones. . Mr. A. Langley, or. Toronto, is vis- iting the Swallow family . Mr. J. P. Telford is back again afier makinga tour of the County collecting information for his new County map. Mr. and Mrs. Penny, of St. Jonhs- ville, N. Y., have been visiting the latter’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wal- ter Nichol, Sr., and other friends in the vicinity for a couple of weeks. Mr. B. H. Townsend, Editor and prOprietor of the Wroxeter Star was in town over Sunday. His new venture in journalism seems to be going along all right and Ben him- self is evidently faring well. We never saw him looking better. HITS AND MISSES- o-~. 0.0 In our last budget two weeks ago we for- warded a reply to the Pomona correspond- ent, and Pat with the rest of us was a little disappomted when Mr. Editor did not pub- lish It. We can hardly call it fair play, and think it a little one sided for a fellow to have the first and last say on any subject in the line of debating. as we may call .it. probably Mr. Editor thou ‘ ht we were giv- ing the Pomona scribe a ittle too much of his digree, and feared it might hurt him. Sue 1 may be so, but we were only trying to pay Mr. Man in his own coin. Allow us, Pomona, to whisper to you, when you are trying to tell jokes on us you need not mention names quite so plainly, as we are not all dunces.
