Mr. and Mrs. Peter Norris and Mr. aud Mrs. Fred MoClocklin aud family visited in Ch.itsworth on Sunday. The "spell" of dry weather was broken on Monday when a refreshing thunder storm supplied au abundance of rain. There is a rumor abroad that Inglewood may get the new Central Prison farm. It is nob troubling us very much where it goes. Mrs. R. Zimmerman who has been visitinR with Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Thomp- son has returned to her home in Owen Sound. ^ The Misses Beatty entertained a number " of Flesherton and Dnndalk young folks at her home, Toronto and Sydenham road, Thursday evening. The Revs. J. T. Crosby Morris of Owen Sound, J. R. Wilkinson ofRocklyn, and H.

Wria;ht went on a driving trip last week and visited at Corbetton, Shelburne, Orange- ville and other points. Laurie Smith, Isaac Smith's five year old son, was knocked down and tramped on by a horse on Wednesday. The little ! has not yet taken up a fallinK board frightened it, resultit'g in the injuries mentioned. A year ago he broke his leg by falline out of the mow in the barn. The acceptance of the Markdale foot- ball challenge to the Kimberlay team resulted in a complete back-down by the former, when they withdrew the challenge. J. G. Russel of Parkhill is renewing old acquaintances here. Formerly Mr. Russel was a jeweller here, and left about nineteen years atro. We were glad to meet Mr. Russel again. J. W.Ford and family of Markdale have left for Swift Current, Sask. Mr. Ford will build and operate a 100-barrel mill aud 25,000 bushel elevator. We wiih him every success. During the dog days the majority of our exchjknges have dropped an issue â€" one even dropped two â€" but Tha Advance with undiminished vigour continues to disseminate news to a coostautly growing family of readers. J. A. Hulbert of Harkaway returned to old-time methods, in harvesting a 25 acre tield of wheat that wrs too rough to run a binder over, by having a bee and cradling the field with the aid of a number of neighbors. The largest cousignment ol lumber ever leaving Flesherton Station at one con- tinued shipment was during the last three weeks from Messrs CoUinson's mill at Ceylon, they having sent out forty-one car loads, shipped to Msesey Harris Co. of Toronto. Sunday, Aug. 22, Methodist church : morning "Studies in Ephesians," No. 2 in series, God's Poems Eph. 2 : 10. Evening, Christ and the Unusual, Matt. U : 28. You will always tiiid a hearty welcome. Mr. Hawthorne, formerly of Durham, is the new leader of the CoUingwood band. It will be remembered that Mr. Hawthorne got mixed up with the authorities at the Niagaia military camp â- \ year ago, and as a result gave up the leaders baton for the Durha(u musicians, Jimiuie Whyte, whose arm was broken by being throw from a horse a month ago, returned from the Sick Children's Hospital on Saturday, his father, Mr. Dan. Whyte, bringing liiin home. The arm is doing nicely. Mr. Whyte return- ed to the city on Tuesday. On Saturday the Pricevillo voters will decide whether they want cement side- walks. As far as we are aware there is no doubt but that the by-law will pass and that growing village will take another long jump forward. The residence and grounds occupied by Herb Smith have been improved this summer. The lawn has been reduced to the level of the sidewalk, a cement walk and steps laid, aud a neat verandah erected. The lot is faced with a neat wire fence. On Sunday evening Rev. Wellwood preached to the boys and girls on "ships" He departed from the beaten trail and introduced a few homely illustrations, with, we believe, the result of a strength- ened impression on the minds of the boys and girls. Solicitor Kelly, acting for Loretto Abbey, paid §50,000 to C. W. Chadwick for twenty acres on the north sidu of Eglinton avenue. The price paid for the property marks an event in the history of North Toronto real estate. Only four years ago sixty acres were bought at J300 ^n acre. Laohlan McDougall of Durham road lost a cow and two calves last Thursday night. They had wandered onto the C. P. R. track and were lying down when the night express came along. The cattle were struck and killed, but without damaging the train, which was stopped a short distance past the cattle. The Markdale almost team came to town in the pouring rain on Monday for a game of baseball â€" or water polo, or something. At the end of the sixth inninsis the near team from [that thriving burg to our north were behind 5-3, but in the seventh innings (played after dusk) they turned the score to 9-6 in their favor. The first five innings was exceed- ingly good ballâ€" for Flesherton, no runs being scored by the visitors, but the game was lost in the darkness. No use crying. The editor of this paper returned on Monday from a two-weeks' outing, but the quill. If he said in these columns two weeks ago about fish stories he msy have something to say next week. Suffice to say, his complexion has lost its lily whiteness and his appetite is nearly as voracious as a pikeâ€" and that is saying a good deal. The popuUrity of The Advance was testified to last week by a Maxwell sub- scriber, who we trust will pardon us for the reference. We received a request for another cupy, the subscriber saying "Miue was lent to a neighbor before we were dune with it, and she gave it to a Dundalk man." Geo. Stuart was in t.iwn last week, but left yesterday (Wednesday) to return to Gowganda. In coming out George had to tramp 32 miles to Elk Lake, from where he took the boat to Latclifurd. We have heard similar tales of this country, and same day Gowganda will be enjoying railway facilities, and possibly "airway" facilities also, when all those weary tramps will be but as disturbing dreams. The Methodist Ladies' Aid held an enjoyable lawn party on the paisonage grounds on Friday last. The event was an enjoyable one, and was participated in by a fnir crowd, the receipts being ab.->ut|^$22.00. A high-class program of vocal and instrumental music was given. We might especivUy mention the bass solo by Mr. Ames. This gentleman has a well trained voice, and rendered a very difficult selection to the great enjoyment of all. We shiver for our reputation, but still when anything u.iusul or ast^mnding comes under our notice we are in duty bound to pass it on. On Monday John Weber banded us a stalk of com 11 feet, 3 inches in lengch. The corn is of Early Compton variety and was grown by \\. A. Weber and planted about the 1st of June. We were also handed some oats 4 feet, 10 inches in length ^rown by Adam Hyslop. This would not indicate the poor crop of oats that we hare heard about. Dr. Murray and party returned on Saturday last from a most enjoyable boating trip through the islands of the Georgian Bay. The Shirley M. behaved magnificently and proved herself a very sea-worthy craft. The trip was made from Thornbury via CoUingwood, across to the Christian islands, thence through the labyrinth of islands as far north as Parry Sound, where the return trip commenced. The party had no exciting experiences on their trip and are all enthusiastic over the grand scenery of lake, ii^laud and shore line. Brown as berries scarcely describes the complexions of the returned sailors â€" it was a fine butternut hue. A crying need of Flesherton to-day is that of a resident magistrate. The mere fact of his presence would act as a deter- rent to poker-playing, cigarette smoking and rowdyism. Since the death of the late A. S. VanDusen our village has been in a wide-open state as far as concerns the restraining presence of a magistrate. The evils mentioned above have been allowed lo gain undoubted iiway with the young buys, and no questions asked. If someone could be induced to accept the slightly unpopular duties of the niagis- tratu it would not require many convic- tions to stop the gambling and poUer- playing, and cigartitte smoking. The Advance has received a number of com- plaints recently as to the prevalence of poker playing among the boys from fif- teen up. It is sjtid by eye witnesses ihi.t some of them get so low with thor gambling that they have to stake postage stamps and other articles of a cash value. This fact alone should be of sutl'oient importance to cause its stoppage, but when the bjys admit wrong doing by going back to the bu.sh secretely lo indulge, then no question as to right or wrong can bo raised. For a time their gambling was concealed, but with the growing practise came the difficulty of concealment, and nowit is a comparatively easy matter to detect them, and theie is good material for conviction when the opportunity comes. Is there no person in Flesherton with the ptoper qualifi- cations that will accept the onerous magistracy and help wipe out this dis- grace ? Odds and Ends issuer of marriage Apply W. A.

Nothing in the way of a cough is quite so annoying as a tickling, teasing, wheez- ing, bronchial Cough. Tho quicke.st relief comes perhaps from a prescription known to Druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop's Cough Remedy. And besides, it is so thorouahly liarinle.ss that mothers give it with perfect safety oven to the youngest babes. Tho tender leaves of a .simple mountain shrub, give to Dr. Shcop's Cough Remedy its remarkable curative effect. It is truly a most ceitain and trustworthy prescription. Sold by all de>klers.

A special meeting of the council will be held to-morrow night to deal with tho question. Though the proposed change is regarded as a radical move, it is endorsed as the best possible solution of a problem which is particularly com- plex in Owen Sound. A report ]U8t issued by tho emigration authorities in Germany shows that' spon- taneous emigration' to the United States has ceased. Reports of German steam ship companies show that only 174,000 peisons have embarked at Hamburg and Bremen since the first of the year. This is greatly in excess of the figures for the first six months of 1908, when the finan- cial crisis caused a sharp decline in emigration, but it is nearly 100,000 below the lecord for tho same period of 1907. material by reliable malsers.
