The man who does no more than he is paid for will never get paid for any more than he does. There is not much chance for promotion to the man. who shirks and slights: the job he has in hand. Doing menial work well is the straight road to more congenial employâ€" ment and better pay. A man who expects to rise in the world must breve himself worthy of promotion.

Alexander Stewart, a well-to-do farmer of Harriston district, was committed for trial at Guelph on a. charge of using seditious langu- age. The informant is John Row- land of Walkerton. The charge in- cluded the calling of His Majesty’s forces “burns and loafers,” and that clothes made of rags were good enough for the soldiers. He also said he would not send his own sons to fight in England’s battles, and that he could get along without England’s help. He is out on bail.

MARCH 15, {917 House for sale 01' rent.â€"-â€"-App1y to Arthur McClocklin. 3 15 Lf A Detroit paper says: “Since the outbreak of the war, 27,000 stalwart young Canadians have found their way to this city.” We interpret this to mean -mostly that 27,000 stalwart young Canadians were cowards with cold feet. Think of the contrast! Ray Fluker, a younug Canadian, was set- tled in Detroit with his parents, but his true British blood impelled him to do his duty to the Empire, and he left the “ark of safety” to enlist with the 147th Greys. He is now in France and will soon be in the trenches. All honor to such young men, but shame on the cowards who have fled for safety. Miss Flora McKinnon, an aged resident of Walkerton, died Sun- day, the 4th of March, at the home of her niece, Mrs. A.

She was the last surviving member of the fam- ily, and was well known to many in Durham and Bentinck. Inter- ment took place at the Rocky on \\'e<.lnesday of last week, Rev. Mr. ‘Jilson, her pastor, Walkerton,per- ‘l'orming the ceremonies at the home, and Rev. Mr. Ashton at the graveside. The Dundalk Herald says: “Here is a suggestion for Grey County Council for the equipment of Warden Good- fellow. A resolution was adopted by the Lambton County Council that the warden be provided with a gown and three-cornered hat. This is an an-- cient custom, which is still prevalent in some parts of Ontario. The gown and hat would be left with the chair and form additional honors for the position of warden.” We notice the antiquity of the notion, and fancy that Warden Goodfellow, or any other warden of Grey County, feels awk- ward enough in the position without the hamperings of a hideous para- phernalia. Why not suggest knee breeches, riding boots and spurs, and give the high functionary full latitude to parallel the pride of the jackdaw that tried to be a peacock? We be- lieve the honors of office, without the honors of the suggested toggery are good enough for Joe Goodfellow. l 5 .Mr. A. J. Greenwood intends to give up the milk business on the 1st of April, and unless someone else .takes it up, there will likely be a scarcity in some quarters.
