Walkerton Now tli;it W.dkeiton is as niiicii a neighl)i>rinL' town as Owen Sound, a few items occasionally from that i(uartor will be of interest to our readers. The fol- lowing is culled from the Telescope of that town (one of the brightest newn- pHpei.'f, liy the Wiiy, in this part of the province) : Fred .\rniHtiong, who was committed to the Kingston penitentiary for forging Win. t'ronin's name to a ehci|U(', was taken down on Wednesday by the slierilf and j.-iiler. He felt pretty blue at the pro.spect of being pliceil under lock and key for the next two years. But he got .sorry too lato. The town constable's eom|(laiut agiinst Clias. Addley. or rather iigainit his wife for selling goods on Sunday, w.is tried before Mr. McNaniaia on VVednesd«y last. Tlie arti.-ltf sold wa.s a stick I'f licorice, and the price was one cei.t. The nuigtstrnte, however, althouj/h the tran.s- action was a trivial one, held that it wa» H violation of the lasv, and imposed a fine of a dollar iiid costs, Mr. Addley says he will appeal. The Telescope had a call on Monday from Mr. Duncan Marshall, M. V. P., of Edmonton, and his right-hand man, Mr. Donald Gillies of the sani3 town. Mr. Marshall is one m.nii, who by sheer pluck and ability, hiis forced himself to the front. He is inaiuger of the Edmonton Bulletin, Hon. Frank Oliver's pa|>cr, and at the Ute elections was elected for the constitiieucy of Olds. It is )/enerally understood that in the course of a few raouthi) he is to be tnken into the Cabinet ivs Provincial Treasurer. He is now an enthusiastic western, and predicts a great future for that Province. Mr. Gillies wa.s boru in Eldcrslie, and is a nephew of the late John Gillies, M. P. His wife is a daughter of the late John .\ttL)n of Uraiit. These two Eldetslie boys have been close- ly a.s»ociated for several years past and .seem bound to keep up the connection. Speaking of the province of Alberta, Mr. MarshiU sjiys that only 4 per cent of it is yet under eultivfttion. This will give n» some idea of what that western country will produce, once it is all under cultiva- tijD.â€" (Both of these gentlemen are well known in East Grey as defeated candi- dates for parliamentary honors.-- Ed.

We regret t) chronicle the death of Mr. Charles McArthur, at his homo here on Thursday morning last, after a linger- ing illness of four or tUv years duration. The decensed gentleman, who was well known and highly esteemed in this town and locality for the greater portion of his life, was born in the Isle of Mull, Scot- Isiid. When a lad lie came to Canada with his parents and settled with them, in what was then a wilderness in the ceiitie of the township of Glenelg. Here he grew into manhood, when he engaged in the teaching profession, at which he spent innre than twenty years in the adjacent townships. For over thirteen years he taught in S. S. No. 1, Glenelg, where he proved himself an efiieient in- structor and an excellent disciplinarian. In 1890 he )iurch.'u>ed the Durham Review and ably conducted that paper for a couple of years, whan he entered the mercantile business in the Dalgluiah ptemises up town. About eight years ago he moved down town where the business has since been conducted, for a time in the .stoi-e at present occupied by Mr. S. F. Moilock, and later in the old stand occupied tor many years by Messrs. N., G. A J. McKechnie.
