They keep it up because it pays. The most successful nierohunts in any town or city are those who advertise in the papers. There maybe exceptifins bat they are not one in a hundred. When virtually all successful men follow a Cfitaiii policy, it is reasonable to assume tliat it is r sensible and profitable policy. The foUowinK resolution was omitted from Artfinesia council minutes as pub- lished last week : Moved by Messrs. Muir ahd Btst, That the report of commis- sioner No. 4 be received and that he bo pMid §15.05 conimiasion ou S188 expend- ed knd $9.75 overseeing grndini.'. Carried. By thb omission of a period in the same re|)Oit it was mado to appear that the aaricultural society was granted 81500, wh rchs it should have been $16.0J The women folk of the 4th lino, this town-hip, are of a raiher superior order, jud.:i:>gliy an event which happened out thtro last week. A well known farmer raised a kitchen and wood shed combined. Just why it was done we do not know, but the fsct rfiua'.QM that only women wore i-ivitud and they turnfd out i.ot>ly and under the directions of the farmer himself the building wM) put togethnr quite deftly.

Mrs. Hooper of Kansas in the guest of her sistiT and brother, Mrs. Mosier and A. Muublmw. Mrs. Hooper was at one time a resident of Fleshi^rton, but it is twenty years since her roiuoval to the we«t, imd she sees much inipmvemeQt that hns taken place during that time. A oouplo of young lady visitors to town made a very moe pudding one day last week which they called u "trirte,"and set it in a tub of water outside to cool. They did not take into consideration the "trifling" nature of Flesherton's canine population, however, and when dinner time oaiiie the pudding dish was found empty â€" minus its "triHe"â€" and the family dog was seen to be licking his chops in in glee. vVo have since learned that the dog has !x severe attack of dyspnpsia. J. .T. Kaitline of Osprey and a gang of men were hero last week removing tho exhibition buildings to tho new strip re- cently purchased west of the old ground. This will aive an unobstructed view of the r.icecourae. Whrn a new grand stand and some cattle sheds are erected wo will hare one of the best .show gioiinds in tho county But Home was not built in a day, and neither can all theso imprfivemonte he consummated in ono year. It is satis- factory to Imo.v that the improvement along this li.ie is steady and sure. Tho Junior League and Mission Band members of tho Methodist church, under the chaperonago ot several ladiss and genllcinen of the ooneregation, drove imt to Sullivan's grove, town line Glenel;; and Artemcsia, on Friday afternoon last, where a very pleasant few hours were spent in games. OverilowiiiK hampers were taken along and the little people fens'ed on the i;ood things to their hearts' (an.l stomach.s') content. An early return homo was made, everybody voting that they had enjoyed an ideal afternoon. Mr. John Hudson, treasurer of the Osprey Farmers' Milling Co., while re- turning from Colliu'-iwood Saturday even- iog had a rather exciting experience. Mr. Hnd.son had about ^700 on h's person which bo had drawn from the bank that day. While coming throuah Cameron's swamp, near Rob Roy, he was hailed and ordered to stop. Instead of stopping, however, he whipped the horse into a run. The highwaymen fired se\eral shots after Mr. Hudson, but he succeeded in getting away unharmed and arrived home sufo with his pile intact. Our Port Law subscribers certainly have just cause for a moat vigorous kick at the postal accomodation afforded them. Two weeks ayo the Port Law parcel of Ad- vances failed utterly to reach i's destiiia- ticni an<l last wcik's parcel inily arrived tliuru Monday of this week, abhough it it was niailud a^ usual in time for the 5 o'chick tram on Wednesday, five days be- fore, and only had to travel a distance of six miles. A letter from postmaster Mc- Cannel at Proton Statiim says tho Proton Station and Port Law parcels of hist week wore put off the train there on Friday last at 5.14 p. m. Just where thoso parcels had been fro'n WedncKdny afternoon until Fi iday afternoon we would like to know. There is no earthly reason why these parcels mailed hero every Wednes- day afternoon should not be put off at Proton Station the same eveninu, and we propose to see if it cannot bo done. This is the only point where we ever have had difficulty in getting the Advance de- liven d promptly, and we join with onr snb^oribera at Port Law in demanding a better service. So far as wo can judije tho fault lies with the railway clerks and and postal authorities at Toronto. The 12that Markdale It was estimated that 5000 people visit- ed Markdalo on Monday to celebrate King William's aniiivorsary. Tho town was packed with a mass of humanity which made moving around very ditliciilt. There were said to be over thirty lodges in the proce-ssion. Dundalk, Flosherton and other places alona; tho railway were depleted of their populations an.l btte buisness was done. Tho speakers for the day were Rev. 0. Perry of Toronto, Rev, Buchanan of Meaford, Mr. C. Gordon of Owen Sound and Rev. Appiegarth, English church cltTayinan. It was the greatest crowd that Mai kdale has ever s^cn, and everything went off orderly and pleasant. Tho day was ideal in every respect â€" cool and Comfortable. The huge crowd ap- peared thoroughly to enjoy its outing. Ladies' Institute Meeting. The Women'slnstitute meeting held in the 'Town hall on Tuesday of last week may he set down as a success, consider- ing that it was the first of the kind held hero. A t the afternoon meeting about 25 of mcnibers were piesont. Mr8.MoTavi8h Bruce spoke very entertainingly on Man- agement of the Homo, and Miss Muriay, a petite little lady, u;"^e "n interesting demonstration on cooking. The President, Mrs. R.

Kerr to Miss Nellie Hastio, botli of Flo»hrrton, Extended notice next week. The entmnco examtnalinn results as piintod elsewhere show a wholesale pluck- ing of candidates. We believe that tho arithmetic paper was largely to blame for this. Neither Markdale, Flosherton or Dundalk have reason to "blow" over the result, although Markdale bus the better showing of tho three. On August 3rd the ratepayers of Dun- dalk will vote on three separate bylaws for local improvement sohemeg. Bylaw 170 is to raise 86,000 for expenditure on streets and sidewalks. Bylaw 171 is to raise $0,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of a town hall. Bylaw 172 is to raise $8,000 for the construction of a system of waterworks. Arrests are still being made hero and there all over in connection -vith tho Col- liiigwood murder. A nettro, calling him- self tt liuinan phonograph, struck town last Friday and registered at tho Gl)he as "VV. C. Seott, Jninaioa, West Indies." He said he was the colored man who, in company with a Jew, was arrested in Belleville some time ago. He said the police asked him if he had only ono sock on, and then held a gun over "him for a couple of hours until thoyfound he hadn't been near CoUingwood. To the average citizen it appears that arrests are being mado haphazard in order to impress the public that the police aro still busy on the case, have clues, etc.â€" Slaynet Sun. to 0onsu mpfivesT" Tlie undei-sioned having been roetored to liealtli by simple moane, aftor Buffering for sev- eral years with severe hniR affection, and that rUeart disoaao consumption, is auxioiis to make kcown to his fellow sutfcrerB the moans of cure.
