Now, to previMit confusion, we wish it to be understooii, tiiat it was six years a^o first of April lust nijice we opened our prinfiMii olfiee hi Fleihertou ; two months later the tii-st number of Tiys .\dvance was issued to tho ^ufalk : lieiiue liut week just completed volume six and this is the first number of volume seven. A couple of months ai;o wo drew a faint outline of till! ililHculty in connection with tho es- tablishment of country newspapers. This time we propose to speak of Flesherton as it was, Flesherton as it, ami Flesher- ton as it may be (under cerUiiu cireum- stances) in the near future. Fii'st, then, lot us: take FLKSUEHTOM AS IT WA.S. .\ ([uiet little village of not mure than three hundred population. Let ua not be niisuiiderstoi>d : when we say ipiui we mean the nbmetue of drunken revellers at night, aiiddrunken, quarrelsome charact'rs fii{hting and niakini; tluM.i;8 "livuly" on the streets by day. We found, instead, an h/ftel so rsmarkabty well conducted, that we mistci.ik it at lirat for a private residence. We had iiuver seen such u well conducted public h(JUso before ; wu have never seen ica ecpial since. There were not half a doxon brick buildings in the place, ainon;{ them bein^ tliu Metho- di.ftchureh, Siiuiro Arni.ttrong s residence, al.so that of Mr. N. ("ampbull. There wore four i;oneral stores, one druij; store, two Khoe shops, ono harness shop, tan- nery, one furniture fuetory, one furnitino store, woollen mill, <;rist milt, saw mill, .shin){le mill, itvo taih)r'«liops, hobul, one tin shop, three millinery stores, bakt'iy, two butcher shops, two carriaj^o factories, photograph ijnllerv, jewelry store, three blacksmith shops, and otliei- minor places of busiiiviss. >-LK.'(llERT«rN A.S IT I.s. A Hourr.shin;^ placv, with brick resi- dences and business blocks i/i/oir. With- in its borders are to be found the largest general store as well as tho lari{c8t oar- riai;e factory in Grey. Temperance prin- ciples still predoniiiiate and there is but one hotel as bufirv, conducted, however, on the .same prinotplos as it wae six years as;o. Streets clean and neat as a "new pin;" backyards ditto. Fleshor's |jark is still open to tho public â€" U'.rounh tiie kind- ness of the founder of Flesherton, W. K. Flesher, Ks(i., aixl on these beautiful Sunday afternoons its shiuly Kroves are much frequented by our citizens. Cireat improveineiits have taken place during those .six years. Tho population hiis douljlod, and thi; followim( additions have been made to ilio business part of tho. town, viz., a first clats planini; mill, a cheese factory, a hroom-liandhj factory, a in.arblo factory, a new drug 3tin>e, anew harnoss shop, a l.iwyor's 'iiffice, a shoo shoj), feed stores, restaurants, a second doctor, dri.ssni:d;ers shops, &c. , &c. Three handsome tlnee-story brick busi- ness blocks have been erected, a beauti- fully desi^-ned Pic.sbyterinnclinrcl;(brick), a neat Hiiptist chMpol, and this suminur will see the erect i"n of a handsnnio and oomniudioiis sclmiilliuuse, situated on the (finest site in tJio county. A brickyard has been established "u one corner of the town, wliich supplies bricks at the rate of lO.OliO per day if need be. In short, so ureat has been the chaiiije wrought in Flesherton during the past half decade, that the traveller who chanc- ed to pass fhroui^h it in 1881 for tho first time would scarcely recognize it aa bein« tho same pliieo if ho postponed his second visit untill this year of gi-aco, 1887. KLKSIiKlUON AS IT MAY BB. It may bocoino one of tho most flourish- ing places ill tho,, county. (..'Itarminglv situated in tho midst of a fa«r agricultur- al district, with lottdin;^ roads second to none in the county, superior natural fac- ilities, good water privileges, a pure, bracing and healthy atmosphere, a cen- tral posititm in the county, with splendid postal facilities and scores of other ad- vantages, it would seem as if evurything conspired to amkie it what it should be, viz., a leading comity town. .-VIl that is wanted in order to accomplish this desid- eratum is tho hoarty, unstinted, and unit- ed action of tho citizens themselves. They must be tired with that zeal and energy, however, which arises from an almost un- bounded confidence in their town: other- wise tho impoitant and iieccessary im- provements yet to be carried to a success- ful issue â€" before wo can hope to reach tho goal indicated above â€" will be accomp- lished in a half-hearted, unsatisfactory manner. But we believe tlioy aro too much alive to thuir beat interests to bun- gle things in that style, AUUITlO.NAL NOTE.S. The 5th Division Court holds its regu- lar (luarterly sessions here.

Mrs. Lcppard, a woman pretty well advanced iu years, came to Flesherton last Thursday posMes,se<l with the iih a that a pit of gold belonging to her whs buried or secreted soniewhero in the ueiigbborhood of our hotel. She wan- dered about the corridors of that house, and niaile so many apparently in.solent aod impertinent reniarUH that tlie land- lord finally ejoctcd her. In an ainileHs but vij^orous .sort of way she thrust the poiirt of her parasol in tlic iniuieiliate region of ouc of Dcpitly-Sberiflf Moore's optics, snicshud a pane of gla.s8, and in short became ho unruly» if not ]iositively daiigorons. that detective VanDusen was obliged to encloso her restless hands in a neat-fitting pair of iron brace- lets. She was then placed in one of the sample rooms and kept there until even- ing, when Mr. VauDimen brought her by train to Owen Sound and lodged her in gaol, pending the action ot tho pro- per authorities. The unfortunate woman seems pos- sessed with tho idea, â€" to use her own wordsâ€" that she has been robbed of "mil- lions and ili'illiitiis of .gohl, and revolvers, .and cannons, and pi.stols, given to me by nio uncle, an officer in the British army !" She said Queen Victoria owed her a lot of money, and that the people of Arteiucsia had "gold watches and. millions and drillions of nioiioy belonging to her." She rvgardcd'our reporter with grave suspiciau aud iiinted that he wore, a false face. Then she suddenly became po.sscssed of thv; idea, that somebody wanted t« kill her. "But if they do," fhc said, *'niind TO I'll have all their names writ on the sky in the noriiingl" But uppermost iu her thoughts was the opinion that she had been cbented out of nntolil quantities of proeions metals, and that her life was threatened in eon- seiiueuee. She is the same Mrs.Lepi)»rd. wlio gave testimony before a coroner's jury a few years ago,, aud also at Owen Sound Assize Court a few mouths later, in connection with one of the darkest tragedies in tho anuals of crime.
