The re- ception of members in the Methodist church was postponed for two weeks. Rev. Mr. Thom was the only minis- ter.here who underwent the ordeal of reaching his outside work Rev’s Wilson and Hurlburt remained at home and visited the Presbyterian church in the afternoon. At the weekly .meeting in the Methodist church on Friday evening baptism was administrated to snx children and one adult. Messrs. '1‘. Grainger, W'. H. Bunt and C. McMullen were deligates from the Methodist church, Sabbath School and League to the Prohibition Convention in Toronto last week. Rev. C. L. Mills was in town a couple of days last week shipping his furniture to Ripley his new parish. Mr. R. J. Sproule was in Walkerton on Friday attending a-meeting of the directors of the Huron and Ontario Railway. Though there has been an apparent lull the scheme for this railway is not being neglected and the promoters are yet confident that it will be brought to a. successful issue. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Among those who are build- ing are M. B. Orr and Wes. Buskin who are building fine brick residences F. Chard is going to veneer and other- wise improve his residence. Thos.

Mr. Bower who arrived from \Voodstock on Saturday George Bower of Woodstock, has been engaged as foreman in the Wil- son sash and door factory here, and took charge on Monday last. The factory is splendidly equipped with up to date machinery, for doing all kinds of work needed in modern house building and Mr. Bower being a practical and experienced hand pat- rons of the mill will doubless be well served. Mr. Wilson the energetic manager has been for some time in very poor health, but we trust the measure of relief from business he will now experience through his fore~ man will tend to better his condition. About five years ago Mr. T. A. Blakely of this place invented a rol- ler bearing which he was sharply done out of while seeking a patent for it. The loss. however, only stim- ulated his inbentive brain to the achievement of something which he believes he has accomplished. For some time he has been studiously working on a roller and ball bearing combined which he has already per- fected and is confident surpasses any- thing yet patented in the roller hear- ing line. His neat model runs with wonderful ease friction being appar- ently reduced to the lowest degree possible. Mr. Blakely has submitted his invention to a large manufactur- ing firm who are so confident of its merits that they have undertaken to have it patented and push it in the United States and Canada. We tfllst it will prove a large sours‘e of revenue to the inventor. Furniture! furniture! Special attention paid to Undertaking and Embalming. Picture framing on short notice.

Some days one sits and sadlv thinks theworld is going wrong; There is a chord of false in every fleeting song; The smiles that yesterdav were good and seemingly to his eyes 1 Now curve and wrinkle tauntingly in 1 a deceitful guise; The friendly word seems butamask _ for hidden treacheryâ€"- And all the time it‘s he that’s wrong, if he could only see Some days the golden sunshine has the tawdry glint of brass. And all the world one sees but through a piece of darkened glass; Where yesterday he revelled in the beauty of the scene. Today there is no prospect but is worthless, crude and mean; The world. he vows. is bitter. and a cheerless soullness place-â€" But all the wrong he grieves of makes his heart its resting place. Some days one sits and sadly says the world is going wrongâ€" But he is showing weakness when the call is to be strong; The World gives laughs for laughter, and exchanges sigh for sigh. It echoes truth to honesty, and bant- ers lie with lie; It gives its wares ungrudginglyâ€"all go where they belongâ€" And if we wish to vex our souls, the wise old world seems wrong. 1 1 l Mrs. Chas.
