Miss Ross, in her address at the Farmers’ Institute, made the start- ling statement that farmers gave a hundred per cent. more attention to the feeding and care of stock than farmers’ wives did to the leeding: and care 0! their children and has- bands. and pointed out the necessity lor better attention along these lines to produce a higher moral tone in the minds of the rising generation. Notwithstanding this. we think that cattle having no better protection than the shaded side of a barb wire “ace, will not turn out very profit- ably to their owners. yet we regret to believe there are cases in which this pic‘ture is n0t much over drawn.

WE notice a number of our ex-‘ changes referring to the marriage of Evangelist Gofi to Miss Lou Arm- strong. of Flesherton. That an evangelist and a handsome young lady should get married is nothing strange, but that we forgot at the time to refer to the matter is what annoys us. Miss Armstrong was a pupil of ours, and we have reason to congratulate Mr. 603 in winning suchaprize. ._.â€"_._ Some weeks ago we announced the intention of the Orangemen of this locality to have a big demonstration here on the 12th of July. Since then we have heard little or nothing. but seeing that other places are on the move we think it well to remind our own pe0ple that to make a suc- cess of it they should be up and do- ing. l‘he time isn’t long, and we Say advisedly it is folly to think of rushing matters in the last three or four days. 01'! Friday last the town was. shocked on learning of the unexpect- ed death of Mr. James Laurie after a short illness. For some time the deceased gentleman had complained of heart trouble, and this. aggravated by an attack of inflammation hasten~ ed death. which occurred Friday as ‘above stated. He was only forty- lseven years of age. and leaves a widow. Interment took place Sun- day to Barber’s cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Mc- Gregor. THE citizens of Durham will have two opportunities on Friday of see- ing the circus parade. No doubt this‘ will be worth looking at, and we have no hesitation from what we have already seen. in believing that the circus will be conducted as well as circuses usually are. but we give a word of warning that it will be well to keep an eye on your pro- pertv, as all these great shows have a followin'z of unscrupulous charac- ters, who may go in at the back door and rob you of your valuables, while you are standing outside the front one watching the parade. ers’ Institute, of South Grey, was held in the Town Hall on Monday aiternoon last, when the following ofiicere were elected for the ensuing year zâ€"Jamee Allan President.

Inspector Campbell is in London in connection with the Normal School examination. Mr Arthur Hughes. of Dornoch, was in town Tuesday and gave us a brief call. Mr. Hughes is one of our readers we always like to meet, but we regret to see him suffering from a painful attack of Sciatica. We hope to see him fully recovered at an early date. EDGAR NOBLE, son of Mr. Thomas Noble. who is attending the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Belleville, will be home next week and will remain for three months. We are pleased to learn that the little fellow is making good progress at the Institute. Though only eight years old, he has already written home to his parents. Though Mr. Ramage acknowledged in his last issue that. he used to carry whiskey by the keg. no one can make us believe he’s a hard drinker. The oflers to sell property made at the Court. of Revision, may find pur- chasers some time. Be cautious gentlemen. An adjourned meeting of the town Council was almost fixed {or Friday night, when Mayor Calder discover- ed that it might interfere with the circus, and had the date changed. Very conSIderate, wasn’t it? THE busy bees are buzzing, and we heard one gently say, an Ex-M. P. from out. of town. will marry our Miss A. The wedding is to take place on Wednesday next, but. we’ll not say a word about it. Don't ask us please. Mr. Connor may be a well meaning man. but Sunday last he made poor progress on his way Zionward. To curry favor, or to favor Curry. we don’t know which, he drove to Zion, and had considerable fun with a high kicker belonging to one of our livery men. The natives of Glenelg thought it was a portion of the Pan-American circus. The horse they thought was the Bovalapus. but they couldn’t de- cide about the clown. Handshaking is a manifestation of friendship that often gave us cause of serious doubt. It’s well enough to go through the ceremony on meet. ing a person whom you haven’t seen for some time, and especially so if you have a real friendly feeling ton wards the person met. But to go through the operation two or three times a day renders the act a little monotonous, and changes Otherwise pleasant greetings into a sort of ordeal that sensible people don’t take much stock in. But “ Wouldn’t it ‘jar you ” the way some people have lof shaking hands. They stretch out an indescribable something that looks all the world like a human claw till you take hold of it. when you are forcibly reminded of a pump. handle _v_ on a cold February morning, so cold and lifeless is the thing you have hold of. If there’s any shaking to be done you got to do it yourself. The individual in your grip turns round about a quarter circle. gazes at nothing, and;with about as much expression in his face as there is in a cup 0! cold custard, it’s little wonder if a chilly sensation should start at the base of the brain. pass down the spinal column and end somewhere in your boots. Handshaking may be all right, but such an excuse as we have described is enough to jar a fellow every day in the week. If you must shake hands. shake right, and let there be no mockery about it. The new woman has found a new vocation. The " bike is too tame for her, the saddle too altogether too-too to her. She is surely ahead of her time, and any one who doubts it and wishes to be convinced can have proof positive when The Great Pan- American Shows Roman Hippodrome, Xonster Museum, Oceanic Acqnar-p ium and Congress of Living Phenom- ena will exhibit at Durham. on PERSONAL IENTION.
