The first paper in Dundalk was started by the late Joseph Townsend in 1877, and was calkd the Guide. He only ran it for a year and five months, when the plant was taken tu Durham and became the Durham Review. It was rally not for lack of support that the Guide quit in Dundalk, but the Reform parly in Durham wanted an organ and offered inducements to Mr. Townsend to move his plant over there. The late George Jackson of Durham was a political power in South Grey at that time and con- dueied the editorial column-^ of the Chronicle. He was a powerful writer and the Grits wanted an oriiran to counteract or combat his "evil" in- fluence. They got the Review and presumably were i;uite successful, as Dr. Landcrkin came on the scene with his successful political career shortly afterward. Forty-seven years of newspaper activity is u long time to look back upon. For the short period that the old Guide was published the staiT was composed of Joseph Townsend, editor when he wa.s not geologist! W. Jack- man, now publishing the Chiliwack, B. C. Progri's.s, and the writer of this. The Guide was published in a small building just north of the present station. It came out each Wednes- day, Thursday or Friday, according to the amount of fossil hunting in- dulged in by the editor. Mr. Towns- end was a man to be respected, al- though his fad of collecting fossils caused him to be decidedly irritating to the workmen under him. To-day the Herald has an up-to- date modern plant and is a source of pride to the villagers. And here is a little secret: Years ago the writer came up from Toronto to purchase the Herald, but was Just one day too late as the lat^ J. B. Spurr got in ahead.

There will be stupendous electrical and scenic effects and gorg- eous costuming for the 1000 partici- pants now being trained by the professional director for this gigantic enterprise. The pageant is composed of a series of episodes and interludes Dr. depicting the history of this section Bell, of the county. Many beautiful inter- pretive dance numbers, the first Indian settlement (with real Native Indians) the arrival of the first pio- neers, the founding of our country, the old time dances and scores of other historical data go into making up the entertanment. The finale alone in worth the small price of admission. Five hundred people in appropiate costuming will dance the dances of all nations and this huge ensemble will form the Masque of Canada. One hour and a half of thrills and thorough enjoyment is guaranteed the spectator. Remember the dates.

After travelling two hundred miles or so he noticed in his mirror a speed cop following him. Slowing down the speed cop hailed him and infor- med him that he was travelling at too fast a gait. He informed the cop that he had come two hundred miles and had to go another hun- dred, and in order to do this was obliged to travel a littk bit on the fast side. Mr. cop said "well, you will havt- to go slower." The reply was, "I will, until I get out of your .•^ight." The guardian of the road t-miled and said, "If you have to make Flesherton you had better be going on. "Is that all there is to it?" asked the traveller. On being infor- med that it was our friend stepped on the juice and made his destination in the stipulated time. Which all' goes to prove that some officers are reasonable.

Some real good football was played ' at the football tournament at Fever- j sham on Saturday afternoon last, in which Strathaven, CoUingwood Scot- tish, Swinton Park and Feversham , participated. The day was ideal for the sport and a large crowd was present to enjoy the three games which were closely contesteJ. Swin- ton Park and Strathaven commenced the first game at 3 o'clock and result- ed in a 1-0 score in the latre's favor Strathaven had the best of play the ] first half but were unable to score, j their only goal being counted in the last period. Swinton Park played a real good game, but it was the good work of the Strathaven backs that left them without a counter. In the j second game Feversham proved them- selves superior in every way to the I CoUingwood Scottish when they won 2-0, both of their goals being scored ] in the first period. As two of Fev- j ersham's regular players were unable 1 to be present two juniors substituted ) and they were certainly a credit to their team, and to themselves. These 'â-  were Gordon Henderson and Jack ' Brackenbury, both boys being around i seventeen years of age. Feversham's ^ first goal was scored by L. Cox in the ; first three minutes of J)lay, being \ followed fifteen minutes later by a goal, the result of a beautiful com- , bination work of Brackenbury to Henderson, the latter tallying, the goaler "having no chance to save. The last period was closer as no goals were scored by either side, al- though they never let up trying. Hon. Dougald Carmichael, M.P.P. for East Grey was one of the players on the CoUingwood Scottish team. j It was in the first period that Jas. Davidson received the injury that re- | suited so seriously. However, he , finished this game and also commenc- ed the next one, with Fev|>rsham against their old rivals, Strathaven, but wtih Davidson off altogether and C. Alexander with an injured foot were unable to put a win across and Strathaven won the game and tourn- , ament 1-0. i The referee for the games was Mr. ' M. Doyle of CoUingwood. The players from the goal out on | each team were: â€" { Swinton Park â€" J. Anderson, W. Knox, W. Heard, P. Harrison, Jas. , Hooper, Geo. Black, R. McLean, O. I Milner, W. J. McLeod, R. Williams ' and W. Lane. Strathaven â€" J. Ramage, L. Must- ard, W. Henry, M. Mustard, J. Must- ard, Roy Morrison, I. Torry, C. Mc- j Kissock (who scored both their goals) ' C. McKibbon, N. Dixon, A.

Tuesday of next week will be open- ing day in the high school, when work will be commenced for the fall term. A student will be able to take right up to senior matriculation for ent- rance into the university, this being posisble by the addition of a fourth teacher, which was found to be ad- visable this year. Already quite a number have signified their intention of coming back to the fourth form and no doubt others will be theere on opening day. The Flesherton high school is one of the best in the county in which there are only five high schools that have four or more teachers. The school is now equipped to take up all classes of work which will fit the student for a teacher's course. A good staff of teachers has been secured and another suc- cessful year is anticipated. A modern Farm Kitchen will be one of the features of the Womens' Building at the Canadian National Exhibition. Woman visitors will be particularly interested in the demon- strations of various kinds daily. Get ready to show at the Flesher- ton Fall Fair, September 25-26. • Managing Director John G. Kent predicts an attendance at the Canad- ion National Exhibition of 1,000,000.
