We are now into September and then October and then winter sure. How swiftly time flies. The hum and bustle of this life will soon be o’er with a great number of the human family. Those amongst us who were getting on the decline last year must be more so this year. The cold and dreary winter will be dreaded by a great many, and its ap- proach will make them shudder at the thought of its arrival. Prepara- tions are necessary to begin in due time for the efiects of the cold is enough to endure without having to face the dificulties caused by neglect to attend to same. The dry weather we have eXperi? enced for the last few months is causing a scarcity of water. Wells are getting low and creeks and rivers are lower than seen for years. Pas- tures are bare except on low and marshy land. and the“ thirsty ground Was craving for a drink of water to cool its parched surface, which it did get on Sunday evening. We like to see it raining and at the same time would like to get the grain in dry. We are hard beings to please, and if we had the doing of things to suit ourselves What a mess we would make of it. This is Labor Day. We didn’t no- tice whether the Chronicle is 0E on an excursion this week or not. Edi tors, like other mortals, need a rest once or twice a year, but there is no net for the tiller of the soil. No sooner isihe out of one hurry than another is standing at the door wait- ing on him and hurrying up to attend or the consequences will be serious. Editors think, sometimes. that some wouldObe farmers are hard citizens to deal with, but some forget that the editor needs more to live on than paper and ink, consequently they have sometimes to engage the col- lecting agency to get in their expect- ed pay. But there are exceptions to every rule. Few subscribers might by way of advancing the Journalist’s cause. be contradicting otherwise In this case it would be nothing less than a mean act for any editor to place such into collecting agencies’ hands. We don"t mean to say at all that we have any in this part of our country. They are more manly than to do such an act. ' The rains of yesterday evening are atter cooling che atmOSphere. Sume from near here started for Durham to hear Crossley and Hunter. Whether they got all the way or not we didn’t hear. Rev. Mr. Matheson is again oc- cupying his pulpit in the Presbyter- ian church here, after Spending an enjoyable time at his summer resi- dence in Muskoka. Mrs. Richardson and two children, of Toronto, (Lilly Beacon) visited her friends in this part for acouple of weeks. She is now visiting other friends at Arthur before returning to her home. We now take a stroll over to see how the people of Top Clifl are get- ting along, and we find that the her- vesc there is getting pretty well on. l‘he genial postmascer of Top Clifi, A. McCuaig, was away for a. couple of days the latter part of the week looking after the interest of some parties whose premises got burnt lately. Mr. McCuaig is one of the anoe Company. The Top Cliff teacher, Miss McCosh. took a. race up home to Owen Sound on Friday. taking advantage of the Labor Day excursion. Miss Kate McIntyre, of Toronto, also took advantage of coming to see her mother, who has not been enjoy- ing the beat of health all summer. Cars will soon be into Priceville. They expect to be in this week as the track is laid Within a couple of miles. The steam shovel moved down to Martin Stonehouse’s, two miles wess of Priceville, and the little curs mov- ed down to the Glen, so they are cor- nering up pretty well. Colin McLean threshed a few days with his steam thresher, Grain is turning out; fairly good. We don’t hear of many going to Toronto Exhibition from here this week. They are all saving their time to attend our own local exhibitions, which will be coming on in a few weeks. We notice two fine monuments put up lately in our cemetery in Price- ville, one to the memory of the late Arch'd McKinnon, TOp Clifi, and one to the late John Simpson and wife. showing that the living have respe“ to their departed parents. Some are fixing up their plots nicely, and it would be a wise act if more would do likewise. The small yard, which is only a; of an acre. is pretty well filled.
