VICINITY CH PS properly thankful on Mr. Were you Mocdajr ? Bornâ€" On Sunday, Oct. 24th. to and Mrs. Jas. Brudie, a daughter. Born â€" At Pilot Mound, Mau., on Oct. 13, to Mr. and Mrs. Jamea Bowler, « dsu<;hter. A younj? lady of 16 asks how long she â- bould wear dresses. We would suggest, nnlil she can get new cues. The inevitable and ordinary result of cheap holiday railway fares liai been ex- perienced asiain â€" lale mails. The Durham Chronicle is sighing for more industries. Wait until the snow flies, brother. You can then form a mam- moth snow shovel brigade. About a dozen membsra cf Prince Ar- thur Lodge, A.F. and A.M., attended the ofUctal opening cf the new Miirtidale Masonic lodge on Tuesday evening. The majority of male '-Thanks givers" appear to give thanks for the opportunity to hunt rauie. Ai a result large numbers of partr â€" bog pardon, rabbits, paid the piper. Guelph has discarded arc ligl.ts for street li);htinj and replaced them with incandescent lights. Fleshorton has had its incandescent glow worms up for sou:e years now. Mr. Reid, a sister of Mr. H. Piper, Ceylon, died at Mark dale last wuek after a very short illness. The funeral took place from Mr. Piper's residence lo Vlesherton cemetery on Thursday last, Rer. H. E. Wellwood officiating. Negotiations are on foot, whereby Mr. Lees of Lucknow, who has been as-siating John Nuhn for some weeks, will take over the latter's curptt weAviiig trade for the winter. If the deal is consum- Bted he will do business in the old Adviuice oSico, on Sydenham street. ' Best Bros, have been doing some fast threshing this fall. For instance, they threshed 1525 bushelH of grain the other «lay for Mr. GeorgM Johnston in five hours. This was niide up of 1300 bush- eh of oats, 100 bushels of barley :ind 125 bushels of peas. That was threshing some. The boys eJtpect to finish their season's work by Saturday next. Gladys, the little daughter of Mrn. Lee, at the Park House, was in trouble last week. A cut of Gillett'a lye had beou left in her reach. The little tot found it and began to invo8tis;»te, but investigation showed that it didn't taste nice and that it burned. The result of the analysis was that her faco and hands were rather severely burued. Since instnlliug a gasoline engine over a year ago, we Lave been experiencing many now sensations. Last week oue of the staff met with the most peculiar. In cranking the engine to start it the thing kicked, giving him a sprained wrist. He is of opinion that the machine is thirteen mule power aud not three horsepower, as was supposed. Mr. R. Bentham ot the suburbs has a turkey hen worth " gobbling." The bird hatched eleven chicks last spring and then began laying agni-i. She stopped for a few daya once «r twice during the aammer, but took up the burden again and 18 still laying. Mrs. BeiithanAbays the bird must have laid one hundred eggs during the kummer up to the pres- ent lime, but unfoituna'e'y she did not oonnt thero. This bird evidently be- longs to the laying strain â€" she has the strain, or spusm, anyway. A head-on collision between the Owen Sound and Teeswater trains one night last week put twoC.P.R. engines out of bosiness near Melville Junction. Sev- eral people were ehaken in the smash but none were seriously injured. The wreck is reported (o he due to the carelessness «f Conductor Wilson of the Oweu Sound -train. Some Fleshertuu people were on -the train, but fortunately escaped seri.^u? injury along with the rest. Are we in Flcaherton an easy mark 7 Possibly so, but it is not hard guessing that a visitor last week found us to bo anything but easy. A dusky-skinned female, possibly an .^rulenian, struck town with a neat recommendation for assistance, which statol that the bearer was "a MAN worthy of every assistance," and that " he " h»d a certain number of bptthors and sisters killed by tlie Turks, •nd so forth. Why ho was plained in the document. We b<;lieve the soliciting met with a lukewarm res- ponse, so the visitor struck off fur greener pastures â€" or people. Apropos of an article in The Advance lust week, we interviewed a couple of our merchants in town and find that butter dune up iu pound prints and wrapped is worth more than bulk or roll butter. There ia very little batter maikfted in this manner, but uDO merchant will pay lo per pound more for it, while another would probably pay more if it came in any ({uamiiy. The butter, wrapped in paper with the maker's name and address neatly printed thereon, is enhanced in value, and surely those who make good bu'.ter will bestir thuaisolves to put it up iu this manner and thus form an identi- fying murk for those who want good butter and are willing to pay for it. The cost of the wrappers is a mere bagatelle, and would not take up much of the protit of the schemu. We would suggest the matter as suitable for and worth discus- sion at thH Women's Institute meetings, and would urge the members of Ihe vari- oU'i surrounding branches to bring the subject up for discussion. News of the Women's Institutes The maternal heads of many homes in Flesherton were absent from the supper table on Tuesday evening. In- 'lulry elicited the fact that the U omen's Insiitute wan in session and that the Dund.Uk branch had been " asked in to tea." The visitors provided an interest- ing program, and were out about 23 strong. The program contisted ot a number of choice musical selections and several instructive papers. Mrs. Noble read a paper on *' Thanksgiving," pre- pared by Miss McGregor, and Mrs. J. R. Mclntyro gave a paper on " Care of winter bulbs." The visit of theDuiidalk sisters was much appreciated. . With the Churches Rev. Henry Berry of Pricevillo will occupy the McthodL-st pulpit on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Wellwood ia conducting anni- vers.iry services for' Mr. Berry at Salem church on the Priceville circuit. The service in the Presbyterian church on Sunday did not materialize, as the clergyman who was to preach missed his train in Hamilton. Mr. Ross, who wa.s to have presided, -will, however, bo on hand for next Sunday. Mrs. Will Miitheson of Pjrt Dover assisted the Methodist choir on Sunday with two solos. Mi-s. Matlieson's sing- ing is highly appreciated hero. In the evening Mervyu VanZant of Toronto gave an excellent solo. Blerv. ha.s grown a very creditable bans voic.'. Rov. R. Weber of Salfoid preached in the Bapt ist church on Sunday last. Rev. J. Puttinham of Tetterville; will occupy the Baptist pulptt here next Sahballi. ^ >t ^ PERSONALS ^ Miss Cbidley vii-ited in Toronto lust week. Mii>a Amos visited friends iu Mt. Forest. Mr. W.

Bible Society Meeting The Flushorton bninch of the Upper Canada Bible Society held a meeting in the Methodisit church Wednesday even- ing of lust week. Rev. Mr. Stobo, rep- resenting tho society, was tho speaker. Ho gave a most interesting description ul the work of the society. It was formed in 1804 and tho Bible was then published in 26 languages. To-day it is published in 418, giving the privilege of reading the Scripture to one-third of the human race. Last year there weio printed 5,934,811 copies of the Scrip- tures. Mr. Stobo had been a colporteur in Quebec for 25 years, and gave a de- cidedly interesting account of his work there. In cosclusion hu sUitod that Flesherton had one of the best deposi- tories it had been his pleasure to find in a village of this size, and complimented Mr. Bunt on the care of the books and the amount of husiiicss transacted. At an executive inoeting Mr. Richard Allen was appointed secretary in place of Rev. L. F. Kipp, who htm removed.

Newinarktt £xpress-Herald : Why some people continue to make sport of our canal is a mystery. There can be no doubt that this is one of tho most real csnils that hss ever been constiucted. Of this fact wo need no further proof than the incident which is said to have occurred here only a few days ago. Two prominent niembsra i.f Parliament came up to see our canal, and they had not looked at it more than five ininutes be- fore it turned both of thom scHsiok. And yet soma people have i he audacity to say this isn't a genuine canal. There i< on exhibition in Bycrs' Bros.' j«weleiy store window, what is said to be s cormorant, shot at Pike Bay. Tho bird at all events is a stranger in this part of tho country. Cormorants aro often times trsii.ed to fish for their mssteis. Theyare web- footed birds, and in order that thoy will not be abls to eat the fish they succeeded in catching, a band is placed about their neck. The bird is soon trained to bring the fish they capture to their master's boat. This is tho first occasion on which a cormornut has made its appearance on the peninsula, according to reports. â€" Wiarton Canadian.
