C^L^OiA.>.L tiOlta A m«u WM recently fined for reck- l^ab driving vrhik- piloting a horse hitched to a wagon while he (the man) was intoxicated. A few years ago it was nothing for the faithful horse to pilot its dead drunk master safely home. • • • Weekly editors are always thinking of the other fellow. They take their yearly holiday in mid-summer bo that non-subscribers will not i-un the risk of sun-stroke while on the way over to the neiiihbor's to liorrow the local paper. â€" Creemore Star. « • • Thornbury district apparently ha.s ^ot any regard for the law, as the Eeview-Herald states that a move- ment is on foot to have a Provincial -Constable placed at that point to look â- after Thornbury and CoUingwood township. There are three constables- at present looking after the enti> county. • • • Considerable activity in the favins' t)f liie from drownig is noticed th'= «eason. Scientists are making an ex- hau.stive study on the actions of the â- fcody when a person has been im- mersed in water for some time. "While artificial respiration has saved <nany lives from drowning, deaths liave occurred that othci'vise mi'^lit have been prevented by other tvoat- jnent. Progress of new life-savinjjr measures will be watched with in- terest. > • • The Inquiring Reporter in the Globe and Mail recently publi.shed re- plies to the question: Why do women «ry at weddings? One answer was from A. B. Schantz, one of the To- ronto public school principals. Kls reply is perhaps as good as any other-. "A strong emotion has strange re- jsnlta. Those who feel keenly seek an outlet of some •••ort, and they may either laugh or cry. Tears and laughter are not far apart. There- fore women cry at weddings, mothers because they are losing their daugh- ters, and other women Because they find a «ad happiness in the ceremony.'* YOUR HOME TOWN PAPER 1 fear that we do not always giv« due credit to our hom»-tuwn paper says lieorge Matthews Adams, the wall known writer. It seems to take its place beside so many of the ord- inary gifts and privileges which, 'be- cause they are rather expected, stim- ulate little extra excitement from day to day. But when we leave our home- town then we tiiiiik of the man,; ..:. ,.i -our huine-town newspaper es- . jcially â€" which we miss and of wnich we are often deprivtMi. That hotel manager who arranges to have the home-town paper of his guest deffv- ered each day to his room does a wise and shrewd thing. Rarely do I go to a large city without hunting out its out-of-town newspaper stand. 1 like, not only to buy my own home- town paper and many other papers from various cities, just to see who have come there for their home-town paper. I like their loyalty for one thing and then I am often amused by tha strange and often humorous statements made as they try to stir up conversation with the newsman. People aw" from home often got lonely and there is something sooth- ing to this loneliness just the mom- ent when thjit st' rer learns that he can get his home-town newspaper 'just around the o-'-ner" and take it to hi': i-onm for ''le night. But the homr-tdwn no"' paper itself â€" what an institution it is. SomcThing very great and InT^ortant would be laek- I'lrr in the ci*v without a single news- naner of it; own. Even the small town without its newspaper is at a f'isadvantnge. Our home-town news- mner keeps us informed about what , IS goirtf on around us. It stirs up 'our oft-"n sagging courage and it cre- ates spirit â€" useful civic spirit, with nt,e'j«nirit â€" useful civic spirit, with- ""♦ which a town or city i.sn't of age. R'"ul .your own home-town paper, -â- ipport it in every way possible. ''Jive it suffgestions. It will welcome chem. Tell its editor what you Ifkt about it as well as what you dont. He will welcome both opinions, just fored. Your home-town newspaper la so long as they are constructively of- your spokesman, your friend and ad- vocate. Kind Expressions We appreciate very much the kind references of our fellow publishers on the commencement of our 51st year as ciditor of The Advance. Following are some of those we clipped: With last week's issue, Mr. W. H. Thurston commenced his fifty-first year as editor and publisher of the Flesherton Advance. It is interest- ing to read that when Mi\ Thurston t took ovci- The Advance, which wa» ' founded by the late A. It. Fawcett in •♦1S81, the paper was set entirely by hand and was printed on a Washing- ton hand press which was discarded for a two-revolution Campbell press in 1907. Today the paper, which has improved greatly in the meantime, is set entirely by linotype. The Advance is now a bright and newsy publica- tion, has a fine staff of correspond- ents, and is' giving its community ex. cellent coverage and service. We wish Mr. Thurston and his fine news- paper continued success. â€" Orange- ville Banner. One of the veteran newspapermen of the province is Mr. W. H. Thurs- ton of the Flesherton Advance, as with its last issue he entered upon his fifty-first year as editor. Dur- ing all the years he has produced an interesting paper and given splendid service to Flesherton and community. May he continue for many more years the good work. â€" CoUingwood Bulletin-Enterprise. Squints at the quints mean many tourist dollars for Ontario. ROCK MILLS Mr. and Mrs. Walter Russell visit- ed recently with relatives in Owen Sound. Mr. and Mrs. McDowell of Toronto were recent visitors with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Foster and family. Mr. Bowman Jamieson had the mis- fortune to hurt his knee on Saturday and was not back to work on Mon- day. He spent the week end at his home in Durham. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Newell visited in Owen Sound and Balmy Beach. Mr. Henry Osborne and daughter of Owen Sound holidayed with his sister, Mrs. Walter Russell. Mr. Hills of Tara has been engaged to teach here the coming year. Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Betts of Pro- ton Station spent a couple of days vis- iting the former's brother, Mr. Laurie Betts. ' Last week Mr. 'W. H. Thurston commenced his fifty-first year at t'he helm of the Flesherton Advance. During' this editor's long record of public service his paper has served the community -well, keeping alive that spark of public interest which makes a small town worth -while. Like the Enterprise The Advance has a number of subscribers who have been taking the paper since the start and values those who have constant- ly kept in touch with their home com- munity. â€" Bolton Enterprise. This week we extend editorial bou- quets to Editor Thurston of the Flesh- erton Advance who has just complet- ed fifty years at the helm of that newsy weekly. Fifty years in the editor's chair of the same newspaper is a boast few newsmen can make and we doubt if many men in Can- ada can equal it. Mr. Thurston in his long career must have had many pleasant as well as unpleasant ex- periences. He most likely worked long hours for small compensation, as is the case with most editors, but he could not help but have had many satisfying moments when his labors seemed not in vain. At such times â- weekly editors would not change their jobs for the highest paid po- sition in the largest city. And so as Editor Thurston starts his fifty- first year pushing the editor's pen we extend wishes that his writings will long grace the pages of The Ad- vance which he has built into such an interesting weekly. â€" Creemore Ster. f This might have beien ^^^ The Leader extends congratulations to the editor of the Flesherton Ad- vance, Mr. W. H. Thurston, who last week completed fifty years as editor of that journal. The Advance is a well-edited, newsy sheet and a credit to the municipality. The Advance was founded in 1881, the same year as The Leader. â€" ^Tara Leader. . . by a Telephone CALL Nai^ibeun could haw Miv*d Ail bam.

Thurs- ton, who on August 3rd entered his â- fiftf-first year at the helm of the flesherton Advance. His record as editor and publisher of one paper is hard to beat, if not unique in Can- ada. At the moment we cannot think of a similar case in Canada. â€" Mount Forest Confederate. Congratulations ar« extended to Mr. W. H. Thurston, senior editor of the Flesherton Advance. Last week's » »9ue states that he has just tom- pleted fifty years as editor, having taken over the paper on August 1st, 1888 when it was still printed on a Washington hand press. â€" Norwood Register. Congratulations are extended from this column to Mr. W. H. Thurston of the Flesherton Advance on having oompleted fifty years as editor of hiat paper. During that period Mr. Thurston has improved his paper, ad- ded advanced machinery and publish- ed a weekly paper in keeping with the community in which he lives. More power to The Advance and con- tinned activity to its editor in hts ,/ork is our wish.â€" Meaford Express. The patter oi chatter certainly doel not scaMer women.

Excursion Details To The Exbibition inspector Pentland issues final in- structions about this great event. Special train from Durham. One hundred and fifteen go from Durham, eighty-two from Holstein, sixty-six from Mount Forest, forty-nine from Dur.dalk and many fi-.ni all the other stations. Dear Boys and Girls, 1 piw-i.ie yuu are all ready for the great excursion which will take place Monday morning, August 29th, and that you are waiting anx- iously for the time to arrive. The following instructions are issued for your information. 1. Be sure that the tape is on your hats, as if this is done you will need no further ticket for admission to the grounds on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. Only children from the Inspectorate of South Grey may comf. 2. I-repare two lunches, in separ- ate parcels, one for your noon lunch and the other to eat at Queen's Park about five o'clock on Monday. It may be necessary for you to carry your afternoon lunch with you until the time comes to eat it. 3. The rest of your food for Tues- day should be wrapped in your blank- et and tied carefully with a strong cord. This wrapper and cord should not be lost as you will need them again Tuesday morning. Make a paste-board card about four inches square, with a hole in the middle and slip the cord through this hole. On the card print your surname in large letters and your Christian name in smaller letters. On the train the girls, only, will be given two pieces of red paper to insert under the cord lengthwise of the parcel. This is to distinguish the girls' parcels from those of the boys. Boys' parcels should not have any red on mem but be wrapped in any sort of white pap- er 4. At the Union Station, Toronto, all parcels will be taken from you and taken by truck to the Queen 'Vic- toria school where you will find them at night when we return from the exhibition grounds. 5. Your ordinary school clothes will be good enough to wear and it is important that you should have comfortable shoes. New shoes migHt cause much discomfort. 6. Your name should be attached to the blanket some way either oy a tag or stitched into the blanket. 7. As many of you as possible should get your tickets on Saturday before the excursion as there are one hundred and fifteen going from Durham, eighty-two frem Holstein, sixty-six from Mount Forest, forty- nine from Dundalk, thirty-three from Ceylon and a corresponding number from all the other stations. It will be seen that there may not be tin^e on Monday morning to get all the tickets ready. On the train your tickets will be taken from you by the chaperones and kept until the re- turn on Tuesday. Pupils who do not return with the party will retain their tickets but must be careful not to lose them. 8. Four street cars hskve been chartered to take you from the zoo to the Parliament buildings and again from the Parliament buildings to the exhibition grounds. For this purpose you will be required to pay ten cents which will be collected from you on the trains. Have the exact change iready. Do not expect us to make change on the trains. 9. Except for the purposes men- tioned you will not require any mon- ey but it might be well for you to have some, say harff a dozen large nickels which may be secured from any bank in South Grey. 10. B'or sleeping purposes it is 'uggested that three boys club to- gether and put two blankets on the floor at the school and have the third for covering. The same remark ap- plies to the girls. 11. Some of you may have to pay adult fare. This is an additional reason for buying your ticket <M Sat- urday so as to be sure. 12. Those going by car are expect- ed to be at the Union Station at 10.26 idiarp as the first train arrives at that time. Those going by C.P.R. will arrive at the Union Station at noon and I shall be there to meet you and take you to the other party which will have arrived earlier. The times mentioned above are all standard not daylight saving times. Those coming en this train will not miss any of the cit^r sights for the afternoon but will visit all the points of interest. 13. Be sure yeu know what time the train Uaven your station. The Si)ecial from Durham will leave Dur- ham precisely at seven o'clock and will ioin up with the regular train from Elmwood and Hanover at Palmerston. f At Palmerston the coaches o« the Ilanover train will be switched to the '(pecial train and all en the CNR.

K. Greer, M.A., Chief Injector of Ontario Schools, all of whom will briefly address the children.

I onee knew a guy in the States who could take a 20-foot rung ladder into a field, stand it on end .walk up to the top and down again." Said the Irishman; "Begorra that is jist nothing at all. I knew a man in Oireland who could take the same ladder into a field, stand it on end, 'walk up to the top and pull it op after him."
