Here ere a few quotetions that. have a peculier zest to them : “ The meetings have been Well at- y tended and satisfactory all round,” {said Mr. Geo Binnie, secretary of the ’ South Grey Institute to The Post on I day. Last week he was at Droniore. Holstein and Axton on Thursday Fri day and Saturday respectively and had good results everywhere. He had taken the names of about 150 new members since Thursdav last. On Monday afternoon last at Elm- ? wood the principal Speakers were Mr. Duncan C. Anderson, of Rugley, and Mr. F. A. Sheppard, of Queenstown. Mr. Anderson is a very able and lucid platform speaker while Mr. Shepprrd is thoroughly posted on the subjects he treats. At this meeting the form- er spoke on “ Soil Cultivation,” and Mr. Sheppard on "The Growing of Fruit Trees.” At the evening gath- ering Mr. Anderson took as his sub- ject “ The Farm as an Investment,” and Mr. Sheppard dwelt on "The Coddling Moth ” and ‘° The Apple Crop.” Mrs. Campbell. who appear- ed owing to Mrs. Mc'l‘avish’ illness. charmed her hearers with a receipt for health and how to maintain it. Councillor Eli Miehlhausen occupied the seat of honor and executed thel duties in his characteristically genial way. Mr. George Binnie referred to the advantages of Farmers’ Institutes and Mr: James A. Lamb of Walker-. Cynic’s Calendar of Revised Wisdom Post. ton made a lew complimentary re- marks and the crowd dispersed.- D-_L [is said to have been at least two ' hundred and fifty there. In the ef- trrnoon while the men were being ediiied and instructed in the finer points of their business, their good wives at a meeting-house across the way were being similarly instructed. by a lady Speaker named Mrs. Colin Campbell of Goderieh. It was a branch of the South Grey Women’s Institute that was in session and it is said to be prosperiug splendidly. Great interest was manifested by the farmers of the neighborhood of Elmwood in the union meetings of the South Grey and South Bruce Farmers’ Institute held on Monday afternoon and evening last. Miehlhausen’s hall was the scene of the oratory. practic- gal discussions and all the rest of it. This event will go on file as the first i union meeting of the two Institutes and it is indeed gratifying to note the general success which attended it. At the afternoon meeting an estimate of the audience was put at seventy- five which is considered a pretty good showing. while in the evening people were jammed in like sardines in a box and besides many had to Stand. There. Mr. Chas. McKinnon, although unable to attend St. John’s concert rnd pie social, kindly sent one dollar to help swell the school fund. M1. Joth.

The weather had previously been so blustery that Miss McCabe, - the teacher. felt very uncertain as to . the result. The Twp. hall was as- cured for the occasion, and the ele- ments had received their quietus from an unseen hand, for the night was an ideal one. both as to light and temperature. The audience was as large as the hall could comfortable accomodate. Those two stalwarts. Messrs. R. McDonald and Geo. E. Arrowsmith, acted as doorkeepers, while Mr. Jas. Staples, Glenelg’s Ex- Reeve. ably filled the position of chairman and auctioneer. We need Various pieces had to be lopped olf us. There were a large number of pies to be sold and the young people were waiting patiently for the dance. The bidding was very spirited from first to last. Miss Leo O’Neil carried off the palm for the highest priced pie. It realized $2.65. Black, Ar- rowsmith and Miss McCabe supplied music for the concert, while others kindly assisted for the dance. The proceeds after deducting for expenses amounted to about $50.
