Sir,â€" One paragraph, or rather, sen- tence, in your "IiicnrporatioD" editorial last week, caught my eye and sent my "niiiids eye" revulving back into the past. The sentence suggested that iiicurpuration was considered a kind of "panacea for all the ilk Flesherton is heir to." Pardon tue, sir, if I dispute that opinion as er- roneous. What are those "ills"? I know of but one, namely, the mile and a half of road that separates Flesherton from the rail- way station. And that "ill" has been talked about and magnified until outsid- ers beaiii to imagine we live near the North Pole, where there are no railroads Ht all, when the truth is we are only 1^ miles distant from the finest system in the wiirld. Why don't Flesherton people talk up the atrsiii^ht road you have writ- ten so much about, and gat it established without wasting so much seiiseles-s jab- berini; about railways, incorporation and other tilings ? But no : they vr.vtt a rail- way throui;h the place, with a 8tati<pn at evt'ry man's front door 1 Then they grum- ble and abuje their busiuess men, and run down everytliini,' and everybody in the |)1«LV, and deal in other places, and then «2.xpect their nei}<lib(irs to deal with them ! 1 tell y./u, Mr. Editor, it makes me sick til hear some of th«*se poll |iarn)ts B|iuiiiiii!; their craay yarns into the ears of ready listeners from rival places, and tlien t)einoaiiin<r a lack of enenjy when they are the cause of it .-ill and a good bit more. Why don't they shut np their clatter and unite with their ueiRhbors in betteriiii^ the condition of thini^s, by uni- ted action. Things are alright in Flesh - ertou, and with a straight level road and a few minor improvements, we could soon distance all competitors, notwithstanding the growlers and snarlers. There are men in the world, who, if there were enough of them would kfll the best town you ever saw. The reason they haven't killed this place is because it isn't of the Villins kind and is bound to overleap all stumbliiigblocks. It can't help it. Its built that way, you know, sir. Yours for the present, "FlBHHKKTON FOK EvBR." We can easily lay claim to doing the business of this section for 2d miles around, having soklfrom Oct. 81-d, 1887, to Dec. 29th, 1887, eleven fine gold watches, thirty-two eUver watches and twenty-uino clocks, against another dealer's blow of twelve watches and sixteen clooka. There is no doubt about it, that the people will come to us to buy as they know they can do far bet- ter thau elsewhere at Russell's Noted Jewelry S^ore, Flesherton. What Beeaint' of the Xlssiag ShirtM. Man (to colored washerwoman) â€" "Look here, .^uut Millie, I gave you ten white shirts, but you have only brought back eight." Aunt Millieâ€" "Dat so, honey? W'y how come dat ?" Man- "you are the one to give the ex- planation." Aunt Millie â€" "Yas, an' it's plain ernuff, too, sah. I washed de shirts dis week in rain water." Manâ€" "Hut why should the rain water cause two shirts to be missing ?" Aunt Millie â€" "W'y de shirts shrunk, dat's why. Ain't yer got jogerfy an' rif- niertic an' edycatiun ernuff ter know de shirts shrink awful wen yer washes 'em in rain water ? Business at Russell's Noted Jewelry Store, Floshertou, has increast^d .so large- ly durinj{ the past year they have had to add new nichol show ca.ses, &c. , to contain their niaguitiuent stuck of bne Watches, Clocks, Jewelry, Silverware, i&c. Wo have also added a fine burglar proof safe from the well known tirni of CioUlie & McCnllough. Fevershaai. Frimi ow ouiH ComtptnuieKt. Everything has quieted down after election. Mr. Geo. Mitchell, whool teacher, has left, and Mr. .John Parka hits taken his place and is giving complete satisfaction. So far the pupils all seem to like him.

It seems to make a man of him to get away from home. By the W'ly, Mr. iUitor, you have a Bi«s Barber in your town if we should judge by the way he ttimmed our post- oSice otiiuial. Some of the Maid* in this place are talking of making the best of leap year as if It were their only chance. I think Auntie will run her ctlAuce with the rest. Wishing them all a Happy New Year. Thd dealer that amiy sells twelve watches and si.tteen elocks in three months, must have large profits to be able to pay taxes, rent, &c. It is quite different at Russell's Noted Jewelry Store, Flesherton. i'lusiiig Exercises or K. t». No. T, Arteiuesia, 1887. It was the pleasing privilege of the writer to be present at the closing exer- cises of the school above mentioned, and presided over during th« last three years by Mr.D.Currie, whose aucoes.t in mould- ing the minds of his pupils according to a high moral standard, as well iu imparting a rare fund of intellectual worth, stamps him as one of our foremost ii'structors. The examination of the different classes in the various branches of study exhibit- ed that profound thought and the spirit of investigation were principles deeply implanted in their youthful minds. As a token of esteem the pupils pre- sented tJie teacher with a number of cost- ly and appropriate presents as memenlues. Mr. Currie delivered a few well-time<l re- marks expreskive of his sentiments to- ward his pupils, all of whom were visibly artected â€" even to tears. Such are the conditions which should exist between teacher and pupil the country over ; and it is reasonable to believe that sucli a happy consummation is largely in tile power of parents and guardians. Mr. Currie baa given up the profession for a short time, in order tn take a further ooursA of MiMly at tlM Hi;(7i Bch-iol. If you want a first class Gold or Sil- ver Watch in Ladies' and gents' sizes, Hussell's, Flesherton, is the place to go.

Gaudiii, to which he replied with mucli feeling. .\i>i)K]:s.s. Whereas in the providence ot God we are sihui to part with you.
