Mauy ai oui- catems feli into Stise saine mistaise as we did, sud we wauld have corrected the mistaise sooner ouly that it was overlooked in the hurry sud tussing over local niatters. Some people may net fte] that a potata patcis is a paying tiing because hast yeai-s crop isad ta be fed ta stock or sald at a Yans shilling. This may i-inuIt lu s smsller acre- age tisis year, sud we sisal i in ail likclihood have a ligiter crop, for t is seldoin we have anything to compare witis lasi year's gi-est yîeîd.

Biggest Fii Story yet Many people who have read aIl tise fisis yaî ns tram Jonab's wisale story doai ta the prescrit, have wondered if the imagination ot man could produce anything ta equal what bas alread y been told by disciples ai tise i-ad and hune.

We use these histai-ical tacts and philosophical considerations ta pretace the stary et a little adventure lad ulged in by some local sports on Thursday afiIsat week. Messrs. W. S. G-aId, G. V.
