He: is no respector of personâ€" ages. A certain minister who on several occasions preached in Priceville, said the three things that would surprise him when he would get to his heavâ€" enly home would be to find some misâ€" sing that he expected to see there, some there he didn‘t expect to sce, and the greatest of all, to find himâ€" self there. So in many controversies going on in the world‘s paper, the Globe, let those that are debarring others, take good care that they are sure of being admitted to the home of many mansions themselves. The Master said "I am the vine, ye are the branches," No matter whecher Now we should be thankful that we are living in a country where there is peace and quietness and it is a regretful fact after all the blesâ€" sings bestowed on all classes of peoâ€" ple the small differences in opinion that exist of the future blessings that all expect to be the recipients of at the close of their career. Threshing operations came â€" next and the result in general was a good yield and summing up the whole there is reason to return thanks to the Good Giver for the many blesâ€" sings He bestows on us all and we are so unworthy of the very least of His goodness. In giving _ a backward look there are many on this Thanksgiving Day who are laid to rest in the differeat cemeteries, who one year ago were in good health. Those who are deâ€" prived of their activity on account of ailment of some nature, held posiâ€" tions of honor for a long term of years, will be apt to reflect on the past, but by patience they yield to the will of the Almighty who is tha Healer of all our diseases. Now we come to the busy season. For haying the farmer of long ago, would grind his old seythe and ent his hay with the Armstrong mower, (his arms) and took it up on an oldâ€" fashioned sleigh. The _ farmer of 1927 pulled the old mower from its winter quarters, grind the sections and entered his field of heavyy timoâ€" thy and clover, sitting cosily on his seat watching his gay team going at a tenâ€"acre a day work. He is delightâ€" er also, to sit on his hay rake with the abundant crop et in rows and in many instances put on the hay rake by a hay loader. On entering his comfortable barn there he has a hay fork to unload the hay on his wayâ€" gon rack in less than 15 minutes and in general all were favored by hayâ€" ing a good crop. _ The harvest was favorably garnered in in due time and a/good crop realized. We now come back to 1927. The, winter of 1927 was exceptionally mild | and those engaged in such work as teaming were thankful for such ; | just enough snow to make the cutâ€"| ters run smoothly. The month of Apâ€": ril came is mild and somewhat diy, j and afforded a large number of firâ€" : mers to sow at an early date and in , all cases seeding was done before | the 24th of May The tillers of the soil were thankful of the promise ; given that seed time and harvest . shall not fail while the world was in existence. l Now we begin to draw a contrast between long ago and the present. Could we take an imaginary trip to our youthful days and begin to inâ€" dulge in the manner then in existâ€" ence, we could see the generation of that far away day snow balling one another with only blue derry pants and white cotton shirts and were thankful for the cool raiment, On entering inside, their cosy fireplace, kept going by the good mothers, all felt as healthy as a blackbird flying from tree to tree. But what do we see nowadays ? Our boys and girls are heavily protected from the inâ€" clement weather and are not as healâ€" thy as those of long ago. Those of that far away date who are now livâ€" ing, will be found sitting closely by the big stove comfortably heated for its own purpose. But we must let old time pass away. \ kind remembrance of them and His | good promises for the future in sayâ€" ing ‘I will not leave you comfortless.,‘ did not fare sumptuously ; the coup le of acres sown in wheat were not separated from straw and in many instances the barn part was the lowâ€" er end o fthe old log cabin and the threshing floor was made of mother Earth. But under all those trying circumstances the good old pioneers didn‘t forget to give thanks to the Good Giver. There were no special days set apart but every day and eyâ€" ery night, they in their own humble manner thanked the Lord for His provided that Egremort A wheelbarrow will stand on its two legs and never move a foot unâ€" less you lift it up and push it along. So would busiress : you have to pick it up and push it along. This is the season of the year when the annual chicken suppers make their appearance in many of the rural churches, _ And isn‘t it aâ€" musing that among the hundreds who attend are a few who walk up and deposit 50¢ and then spend the next three hours gorging on huge quantiâ€" ties of roast chicken, hot vegetables, salads, pastries, etc, and sit in comâ€" fort listening to an expensive proâ€" gram by talented ~artists and imazâ€" ine they are thus strengthening the walls of Jerusalem. â€" Walkerton Bruce Herald & Times. | Therefore be it resolved that we, the Council of the Municipality of the Township of Glenelg, respectâ€" fully request the Government of the Province of Ontario to consider the , amending of the Dog Tax and the ; Sheep Protection Act so as to disâ€" tribute the burden of providing for ; the payment of damages, due to the ‘ depredations of dogs more equally between rural and urban municipaliâ€" ; ties and be it further resolved that | one copy of this resolution be forâ€" ' warded to the Honorable, the Minisâ€" | ter of Agriculture of Ontario and one copy to the clerk of the County | Council at Owen Sound, with the , view of obtaining the approval of ; the County Council. _ Carried. ] Miss Lena Wilson, Toronto, is vi«â€" iting her sister, Mrs Bert Knox and calling on many old acquaintances in the Park. _ A few have finished plowing, othâ€" ers are still at it. _ Some threshinz still to do, The yields are not so large as early in the season. We are sorry to say that Mrs Wim. Haw is in bed sick for a long time and her many friends hope for a speedy recovery. IT WILL TAKE A LOT For instance we notice in the Dunâ€" dalk Herald of recent date thai there was not one hog at the Show this fall. _ There must have been an awful lot of people absent that day. After the big snow storms at Thanksgiving, we are again having fine weather. But some of the roads are getting muddy, but as it draws near election time they will be fully repairedâ€"at least in theory. Mr Wm Leek and son of Detroit, spent a few days in the Park and enâ€" joyed a rabbit .unt last week. The bunters all claim that the deer are very plentiiul but no one would vaink of shooting one against the law. Mr and Mrs Thos. Weir of North Egremont visited at the old Heard home Sunday evening. Everyvthing is moving along quietly in the Park and on the farm work is not so trgent. But in the change from field to stable of the stock. there is many a jolt as the young stock do not like to be tied up, One of our ladies got a severe kick from a calf the other day, causing unpleasâ€" ant thoughts to pass through her mind. However there are jars in all walks of life. Mr and Mrs Jas. Hardy and Mrs. Hardy Sr. visited in Durham recertâ€" ly with Mrs Jas Walker and other friends.

H MeDonald, Clerk th of to I heard what is said to have been the only financial speech Sir Wilirid ever delivered on the stump. His great power lay in elucidating and aâ€" _ dorning questions of general policy : but just as the comedian longs to play Hamlet (and vice versa) Sir Wilivid aspired to shine in a field in which men like Sir Geo, Foster and Hon. Fielding were past masters. He [spent part of his vacation in the sun: "Candid Chronicles" deals in part with the many famous and disting uished people he bas had to inter view and "write up" for his paper, and his work in this regard has carâ€" | ried him much over Eastern Canada and brought him in close touch with many a celebrity. Many amusing incidents have come to light in this , book of tne various incidents and exâ€" periences that politicians are heir to when on tour. One in particular has taken us and it comes from a source ; that is local, our own Paisley in the County of Bruce. mer of 1899 preparing notes _ from blue books for such an effort : an unâ€" necessary effort be it â€"said, for it bad been arranged that Mr FielMing ghould accompany him in the speakâ€" It was on the South African War question, when Hon.

When Sir Wilfrid Laurier Was in Paisley One of the most entertaiaing books we have read for a long time, has been "Candid Chronicles," by Hector Charlesworth, now Editor of Toronto "Saturday Night," but for many years its musical and dramatâ€" ic critic. He has with him a smooth and flowing style that unconsciously carries the reades along and while he is known in the political world as a Conservative of the strongest type, yet in this book of his memoirs of his many years experiences with the press of Toronto, it would be hard to find a book written from a more un biased viewpoint. The monthly meeting of Zion‘s Women‘s Institute was held last week at the home of Mrs R. T. Edwards, sixteen ladies gathering and a pleasâ€" ant and profitable afternoon was spent. Roll call was responded to with a potato recipe : recitation by Miss Lily Black : debate, "Resolved that the farmer‘s daughter has more e1joyment than her sister who works in the office.

"Get rid of that speech," he whisperâ€" ed to Smith. The organizer fell in with the suggestion and, as he crosâ€" sed the picturesque bridge of Paisley, extracted the precious notes and scattered them on the bosom of the Saugeen River. Presumably they ulâ€" timately reached Lake Huron and Sir Wilfrid never knew what became of the fruits of his summer‘s browsâ€" ing among the blue books. After the meeting, Sir Wilfrid anâ€" nounced that he was going to call on a friend or two, and entrusted nis bag to Alexander Smith, the wellâ€" known Ottawa lawyer, at that time Liberal organizer, to carry to the hoâ€" tel. This was Mr Fielding‘s chance. "rhe speech â€" was made at Paisliey in he heart of Bruce Co., the occasion being the first visit to that region of Scottish Liberal stalwarts. Sir Wilfrid thought it particularly fitting that he should address a Scotâ€" tish audience in terms of dollars and cents, and genially announced his inâ€" tention of making a financial address. tho‘ disclaiming he was a man of figures. It sounded well, but Mr. Fielding sitting at his side, was drivâ€" en almost to profanity in his elorts‘ to make whispered corrections of thei errors with which it bristled. . The Scots listeners were frankly puzzled, but woke up to enthusiasm when Sir Wilfrid got back to his true oratoriâ€"| cal matter. ' ADMINISTRATORS‘ SALE IN THER MATTER OF THE ESâ€" TATE QF DONALD A.
