Tha' re not so "pesky after all, are they ' The annual picuic of Flwherton pub- lic school is to take place in th school ground*, on Friday (to-mono*) after- -.11 Vandeleur junior tool-bail team is invited ' play a friendly name with tho beys of the school. The presence of parents is respectfully solicited. Preparations are bemn made for a grand concert to Us ((ivn iu the Town Hall on the evening of Friday, July 1st. Look out for bills and programs. In the meantime we wilt just say that the entertainment will be- a novel one, em- bracing the sunflower chorus, fandiill, tableaux, solos, quartettes, readings, etc. Wiarton will not allow animals which run tho streets to wear bells. Oh that we could institute soims such ordinance in Flesherton '. The nocturnal diu kept up iu thi town by one or two cows wear- ing healthy cowbells is soiuetlung appal- ing.

Flesherton football tuani went down to Du mlalk on Friday last to play a return match, but found upon arriving there that Dundalk had mi|irted two crack players from other places one from Durham aud oue from Shelburne consequently Plesherton team wouhl not play, but paid for their owu supper aud rrturued home. If Dundalk can do no better than this they should drop football for "ahinney,' for something they are familiar with. Building Material Parties about to build will find our stock contains every requisite, and our prices as low as it is possible to make them. The Markdale Standard says : "Old Mrs. Caswell, formerly of this place, one of the frugal, industrious pioneeri, and at one time very comfortable an 1 well to do, died in Owun Sound jail la<t Mon- day. Tho old lady had been reduced to want by no fault of hers. This, with other trouble, had the effect of uubalanc ing her mind, and two yaars a^o she wai sent to jail under tho Vagiant Act, where she remained until her death. She was at least 70 years old" The above is another sad commentary upon the miserable, penny wise and pound foolish system of utilizing the jail as a house of refuge. We wuh once more to request that our correspondents will only send in genuine items uf news from their several uci^ borhouds. Avoid personal inuendo or anything which would give uffenco. Set a standard by yourselves, and ask "How would I like to see this in print if it wore about myself ?" r, "How will the world at lar<,'e, outside of my|territory,look up ou an item liko this which it cannot inidrst;ui'l '" K. -member that a news- paper circulates all over the continent, and its readurs are not interested in Paul and Sophrona's lova affairs, or anything of a similar trivial nature. Send us news, pure and simple. We have now a splendid staff of correspondents, antl theau remarks are intended lu ne s peclally for those who have lately tukei Up lllu I" li. A correspondent of the PiUburgh (Pa.) Despatch makes this on no us statement 'In Uruguay some of the rivers ara so mpregnated with the roots of Sarsap- anlla aa to poassss sanitary qualities fur milling purposes, and the people who drink their waters are said to be exempt : rom skin diieaaes arming from impuri- iies of the blood." Tho l*ru"uay sai- sapartlla is probably the same variety of plant as that of the neighboring it&te of Honduras, of which Ayer'i Extract of Sanwparilla is made, and which is rich est in medical qualities of any sarsap- arilla root known to science ; hence, of course, the extraordinary curative pro :wru* of Ayer's famous blood medicine. We wish ') make it understood tint hereafter society and church entertain- ments will not be reported in these columns when the usual press courtesies are not extended. Some people appear to have the impression that a publisher should do printing for such at half rates, attend them all and pay his way, and thsu writ.; up a glowing account of the affair into the bargain. If this is nt done he receives black looks and cool- nrss, which of course, do not effect him very materially, because ho recognizes the injustice. What we give to the church we give in cash. The days for payment of ministers salaries in kind are past, aud those who expecv th-9 printer to help support tha church both in kiud and cash are ankiin; just what they would not give themselves, and which is, in fact, a little toj much.
