Hav- ing his property here seems a suf- ficient tie to cause an annual sac- rifice of $300 a year. ‘ Even at the increased salary the Board would have difficulty in filling the position by an outsider.

Q In the Orange demonstration at Markdale on Saturday, it is estim- ated that 10,000 were present. Fif- teen hundred Orangemen are re- Dorted to have taken part in the procession and as there were 40 lodges. in attendance we have- no doubt the estimate was a \‘Pr‘v fair one. From early morning. lodges and visitors from the surrounding countv were making their war towards Mnrkdale. Early in the fm'enoon. a train of 13 crrnrded raches pulled in from OWen Sound and intermediate stations, and shortly afterwards 15 crowded coaches came in from Orange‘ville and Durham. The town 'was then, and for the rest of the dav. a ver- itable hive of humanity and all seemed to be iont for enioyment. The first thing that strikes the eve of the visitor to Markdale on all occasions is the exquisite taste shown by the C.P.R. agent, who is known and noted -far and wide for the excellent way in which the station grounds have been kept. The epic and span annear- ance of the statiun and its surâ€" roundings is certainlv creditable. and makes a vervwide contrast with the shaggy and unkempt av- nearance of manv other stations in similar and even larger places. The decorations of the tOWD weTe neat and attractive. Instead of erecting arches as in most cases. the committee decided it better not to obstruct the high- Wav by arches or anything that would have a tendency to fright- en h'ors-es and cause a general street litter. They put up bunt- ing instead and at many places the streets were spanned with red white and blue streamexs, while flags and patriotic emblems u me every where in ex idence.

Besides. the ladies of the PresbyNteiian church provided for any reasonable emergency at the Armories at meal times, and were largely patronized.

Many of our readers are aware that The Chronicle has changed its location, having moved from the old Foundry building to the brick store in which Mr. 8. Scott conducted business for. the past thirty years. We bought the property, and want money to pay for it and meet our‘lother obliga- tions. To make a long story short, and come dir- ectly to the point, we want all who owe us to pay up. We will appreciate prompt attention. The accounts are small, individually, but the aggregate amounts to a large sum. Most people intend to pay some time, and no time would suit us better than NOW.
