When the Baptists move into their fine new chapel. which is nearing completion, it is the inten- ‘tions of this choir, which is now undergoing a thorough training, to give a couple of song service during the winter months. ’___â€"_ not. be Well for everybody to put forth an honest efi’ort to square him. self with the world before the year scriptio , . vertising or Job work. will onlv do Itheir duty and clean 05 the slate, it will be a great delight for us then to pay of! all we owe.

The music and words are by Mr. Watson himself. with accompan- iment arrangement by Miss Whelp- ley.

This is the best testimony we can give to its classic excellence. We are not musical enough to ofier an opinion, but feel assured it’s all right or Harold Jarvis would steer clear of it.

A VERY timely article may be seen amongst our “ Exchange Echoes” taken from the Chesley Enterprise on " Hawking about Subscription Lists.” Chesley isn’t the only place where this infernal nuisance is car- ried to extremes, and it gets so com- mon at some seasons that business men hardly know Whether to meet an apparent customer or bids for fear of the subscri otion sheet being trot- ted out. There’s altogether too much unnecessary begging. As may be seen elsewhere. we are carrying an advertisement of Gaso- line Engines for the Tuerk Iron Works 00., of Berlin. Out. For the past six months we have been using one of their small upright engines to drive our presses, and we find it eminently satisfactory and fully Vm---vâ€"- equal to what the manufacturers‘ claim. When we 1nsta.l new machin- ery we never say much about it in print as it sounds too much like “ blowing,” and even at the present time it is no interest to us to make any reference to this little machine that has already saved us many a hard hour’s work. It’s all right. Any one thinking of getting power will do well to see ours in operation. THE suit instituted against the town of Mt. Forest by Mr. George Calder to receive pay for work on the Artesian well was tried last week in Guelph and dismissed. Mr. Calder having to pay costs. This. as we understand; it, grew: out of a con- tract taken by Mr. Calder to bore for a flowing well. After going down‘ several hundred feet, it is said the drill struck a magret or became mag- netised in some way so that drilling could not further he proceeded with, and the work was abandoned. The well. it seems. furnishes part of the water now used by the town, and Mr. Calder thought he had a right to some remuneration, and, therefore. entered action. It will be a serious loss. THE apple is such a common fruit that very few persons are familiar with its remarkably eflicacious medi- cinal prOperties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing they can do is to eat apples just be- fore retiring for the night. Persons unitiated in the mysteries of the fruit, are liable to throw up their hands in horror at those visions of7 dyspepsia. which a suggestion may summon up, but no harm can come even to a delicate system, by the sat- ing of ripe and juicy apples before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested ‘shape, than any other fruits. It- ’excites the action of the liver, pro- motes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the month. This is not all; the apple prevents indigestion and throat disease. AN interesting, instructive and profitable address on the Temperance question was delivered in the Town Hall on Thursday evening last. The speaker was Rev. Mr. Glasford, of Guelph, and the way he marshalled his facts give evidence of thorough knowledge of the subject. It was a good straight address, in which he took the position that the question at issue was not prohibition, but only a restriction of the retail of liquors over the hotel bar. Not an unkind word was said of hotels or hotel men. The open bar was the only thing to l which§he objected, and this, he felt, } in the interest of the Commonwealth ' should be dispensed with. Under, the proposed system no person would be restrained from purchasing and using all the liquor he required. and in this respect it was no interference with the liberty of the subject.
