Admission 14 ceuts The mission Band enterttiument in the Methodist church Mond.ay eveiiiuii was fairly well attended. The little folk provided a very nice progiani. Miss Washington spoke for a sh.-rt ticno to the children on Japjin and made her remaiks very interesting in telling huw Japunese children live, their games, etc. A col- lecti n was taken up in aid of Band funds amounting to f4.50. The Band report shuwed a slight decrease in membership 1 from lust year, but allo|jother every tiling wa.<i very satisfajtory. Sunday last was Woivan's Missionary Society day in the 5Iethi"list church. In the morning Rev. .). S. I WiUon preach- ed a '-V. M. S. senni-n fiom the text, "Ile'p those women which lab»r with me in the Go.^pel." In the evening Miss Wa.shin^ton, who has spent five years in Japan, spoke on her wotk there and gave some iueident« of oonversi.'iis and the re- sults of them to the church. We may think of the people of J.apan as being polite, very kind and hospitable, but their morality is at a very low ebb. Divorce is common, no doubt caused by the custom of e.'irly marriages. There is one thing tha'; shows the influence of the mission aries upou the lives of young people in the boarding schools : it is seldom that one graduates without a saving knowl- edge of the Saviour, and many remain and work for the church. A dolegtion will leave here for Ottawa on Tuesdiy next to further tho interests of the railway .schen.e from Port Burwell to Collingwood. Mr. -A. S. VanDusen and Reeve McTavish will be the delei;ates from Flesherton. Proton, Euphrasia, Collingwood and other municipalities along the ^jroposed rout will also be re- presciitrtl. In this connection wo would note that .Mr. Charlton has beeu coquet- ing with the town of Owen Sound with the desire of finding out what induce- ment that place was prepared to offer for the line to run to that point. It is a source of satisfaction, however, to note that the municipal fathers of Owen Sound turned down .Mr. Charlton's ([uury with- out action thereon. He will therefore not have Owon Sound as a set-off to force better terms from the munici[>jilitie8 along the route already selected. Three weeks ago The .-Vdvance agreid to receive .â- <mall donations towards 'he purclfjWHO of a set of colors f<ir tho 3lst regiment. We were a.sked to do this by the officers in order to set the ba 1 r<.>lline;. The 31st is tha only regiment which does not pus-sess a set of colors. As this is the hcadcpiarters for No. li Co. we thought surely tho citizens would give tho niiivethcir sanction and hand in a few quarters at lejist for the h mor o' tho place, but so far niit one single com \\a)< been received from Flesherton people. One dollar ba.s been credited to ^l^ W. J.. BUkestnn of Dundalk and Duudalk public svhivl. and that is thr "Illy money that has b.»en rocei%*ed lo wards this laud.<tble eff.-rt to place oni regiment on a foot iig with other regi- ments. We hope that .si'ine inoce will i e made during the coming week in proof that the friends of No. 6 Co. ar." not utterly indiffcrect in the matter. If such a move is not made we pni{H)!)e refuntliiic tho money already in hand and waahinv our hands of the whole affair. A* we nnid b«fore,the color* will oost about t2H>,but smsll donations all over the county would 8'«>ii tiiake that up. Let; us see, now, durinz the coming week, how many people will rise t.i the occasion and show that they still have an interest in old No. <5 Company and the Slat regiment aa a whole. Another Uhost Story. The Collingwood gravel road is be- coming a very unsafe ri«id for the traveller at night. Not long Mr Elijah .Simmons had a very exciting experience. Aaain We hear an exciting story of a young man from Rockvale.who came out to town one evening last week tn see one of our fair sex and on his return journey was met by a ghost, just west of tJio eventful Miller's swamp, kiio*n as Pedlar's swamp. The gliost was in the likeiiess of a man in white, who stood behind a tree and bad a head in the form of a l:all of fire. The young gentleman, we believe, was so badly mesnitrized or horrilied that he had not the courage to proceed, but finally the sufipoaed gho.-t disanpeared fora moment, when he gained snlhcient couriigo to make a dash, when ho put nn the whip for all he was worth, till he reached ho'ine.where he was met by his friends, with his hair straight up and was so scared that he wiis speechless. A pail of water dashed over him brought his speech back enough, however, fur him to tell of his .""ad catastrophe. The young gentleman claims that he does n^t feel so " Rosy " as before. However, we are pleased to learn that he acquirtd the sutficient courage to get away from the ghostly s:ght-, or perh>ips it would have proved a disastrous affair. â€" Com.
