'It causes us a ggreat deal of annoyance to have ' to stop and figure out some of the ! illegible copy that comes in to us. ‘In ordinary articles, we can someâ€" times guess at the correct word, but when technical terms and proper names are used, they should be written plainly. In ad. writing. plain nandwriting is an absolute essential, and especially so when the writers have no telephone con- nections. Our time is often too limited to run all over town to get the writer to translate a word that has been illegibly written. On Friday night last, the fine new barn of Mr. Hugh Riddell, of Welbeck, was destroyed by fire, together with all the season’s crop.3 We have not been fully informed as to the cause, but incendiarism“ is spoken of, and very strong sus- picions are entertained. The barn was one of the finest in the town- ship of 'Bentinck, erected only about three months ago, and we understand the stable part under- neath was not lfully completed. There was no lightning on the night of the fire, 'and as ever - thing was all right in the ‘ear y part of the night, there is strong reason to believe the de redatian was the work of a fire "g. We sympathize with Mr. Ridden in his loss, and hope the culprit, it there was one, may be brought to speedy justice. “Resolved that the pen has dune more for the welfare of the world than the swmd." The affirmative was well sustained by Mr. W. A Glass and Miss Ford, whiie argu- ments on the negativeside were piled up by Mr. Hugh McCrae and Miss Fletcher. Messrs.

The Chronicle till January Ist, 19119 for 250 We have refused to publish obit- uary poetry for a number of years past unless paid for at the rate of ten cents a line. Notwithstanding) lthe fact that we have made this iannouncement several times, we lhave often had chunks of home- [made obituary stuff thrown at us, band to be consistent with our dc- lcfs.ion we had no alternative, in the absence of payment, but to consign it to the waste basket. Some may not understand what we mean by home-made obituary poetry, and explanation may serve a good purpose. Here it is in brief: Disease or accident enters ahomc and soon works havoc with its object of attack. Dissolution takes place, and no sooner does the spir- it leave its tenement of clay and soar aloft to join the celestial choir: than the mundane mourners be-l gin to feel some strange mutational The heart palpitates, the stomach! takes on a sort of peristaltic ac-! tion. the mental faculties give eviâ€"' dence of disarrangement, the lach-l rymal glands lbecome juicy, and‘ the ’whole physical organism be- comes affected with motor ataxia. Then the imagination soars aloft into ethereal space, the heart be- comes inflated, and the afflicted mourner feels a portical spasm,| which he works off in dour-line chunks, using sufficient poetic li- cense to make Mary Ann rhyme with Kingdon Come. This he calls poetry, and sends it to the news- paper to have it published. .We hope our explanation is perfectly clear, but we don’t want any of the poetry, unless we get ten cents! a line am with it.

We believe it is the duty {of all 'farmers to make themselves known !as good farmers, and there seems lto be no better way than to do so by showing the kind of stuff they produce. The day is used every year by many as a visiting dav They meet friends they have not :met perhaps since they attended ithe last fair, and the renewal of lacquaintanceship is a mutual pleasure as a rule. Let every- body come out on the 27th, and swell the attendance so as to make 1910 a record breaker in attend- ance and exhibits, for South Grey Agricultural Society. The Society. had hard luck a couple of years‘ ago, and needs help. Let us all pull together, and help to make, our [air a big success. 'Don't come with the expectation of see- ing as much as you did a few weeks ago at one of the big exhi- bitions. Don’t come to grumble at everything. A grumbler is a nuisance Wherever you find him, and ‘he isn’t needed at the Durham, show. The concert in the evening should not be missed.

A -- pastor of the Methodth church at that tithe. Twenty years ago last February, he was taken 'down with la grippe, and has been a constant surerer ever since, never spending:- a painless moment. Yet, he is always resigned to his fate, and we never heard .him lm'urmur. Never in our experience did we see true, consistent, and constant Christianity so fully exemplified as we have in the life of Mr. Black- burn. Notwithstanding the excru- ciating pain he endures at times, he is always cheerful, and though years ago he ente1 tained hopes of ultimate ‘recovery, these hopes have all vanished. He leels that his life may be prolonged forsyeals to come, but only “1th pain and sufferi 19:, He has no lea: of death and expresses. willingness to go when the time comes.

All cannot be winners at first prizes, but all who grow farm produce may exhibit their pru- ductions, and give the fair as big an_appearance as possible. For twenty-five years, we have known Mr. Blackburn, and for fourteen years he has been known to readers of the Chronicle, as the Flesherton correspondent. For a number bf years, Mr. Blacburn was a trusty and trust- ed employee in Mr. M. K Richard- son’s store, acting as bookkeeper, and general overseer of the busi- ness.
