 ' THURSDAY. AUG. 31 Ontbe THE STA KDAKD^ The Flesherton AdTanoe whiin» thafc it had not received the minutes of ^Osprey conncil for Ust week's issue. The editor knows very well what the understanding is between the Osprey clerk, and four district newspapers, each of which was to "receive the mm- tttes in turn, and send early proof copies to the rest, bo that the minutes could appear simultaneously in all fourpapeis. Nothing could be more fair to Uie papers concomed, cr to the ratepayers of Oi^rey" than this «ur- rangement. It worked well till the Flesherton Advance man got hold of the copy, when the proof arrived either the same day or a day afUr the arrivl of the Adyance containing the minutes. We received the August minutes Thursday noon, but would not take any advantage by publishing tbem. We posted the Osprey minutes to the three papers concerned on Sat- urday. That side- walk promised to sfcalion has not been built yet. Probubly the village police have been too busily en- paged looking after the back yards. Why not levy a rate and finish the side- walks When will the inspector or path- master look after the cutting of the Canadian thistles on some of the vil- lage lots When tho'ye done seed- ing. It will soon be necessary to appoint a police magistrate hero. Too man; j^oung people congregate upon the steps of the churches, pass remarks on the people as they enter converting the church entrances into bummers roosts. The army worm has settled in this section of country. This is a terrible rcourge, and the only cure is to cut off the branches and burn them tosjether with the net-work, e^gn, insects, c. Many of those who went to Manito- ba ipbecime millionaires have return- ed. Chickens always come home to roosc. A train of 5 or/ cars containing the Owen Sound Methodist and Presbyte- rian Sabbath Schools rolled into this viUrtge last Friday morning. The jncnieers wandered about, and seemed to forget what they came lor. They ha.i no picnic worth mentioning, and fvhere the pleasure came in we failed to see. It takes Markdale people to get up a picnic. Some of the Owen Soun 1 picnicers seemed to have expected to find a lake Superior at Markdale. Numbers of the visitors from Owen Sound last Friday spent the greater part of the hot day in the heated cars en the Biding. This was an Owen Sounders idea of pleasure The Methodist Sunday School has in course of preparation a sacred can- tata, "Under the Palm," a perfor- mance of which is expected in Octo- ber. Mr Bowes will wield the baton. Mr Wm. Lakins, Mulmer Tp, has a cherry tree which bears fruit thrice a year. Bev. N. McDiarmid has been off for a week's hoUday.

Try it to the To the Editor of the Standard. The ^AdvaBce** SEEKS f OSprej C#«Mcll. Sir, â€" This is the answer to the Adranoe's question as to who runs the O^wroy Conneil. Someone skilled in physio ought u give tii Advance a soothing dose, or it will be in dan- ger of bilious fever now that the warm wea- ther, and green apples are upon us. Ever since the Advance was passed over in the Osprey printing contract, it has lost no opportunity of slandering the clerk, whom by insinuation it aocuned of receiving bribes from Mr Rutherford. This I deried, and again repeat the denial. Mr Butherford has not directly or indirectly offered or promised me any commission whatever, nor have I ever received any. Tlie Advance of tlie 17th wazeth wroth, and threatens dire vengeacoe. Because the notice of posting the Voters' List was not sent to the Advance, it states that thii dis- franchises every voter in Osprey. What nonsense 1 Further it states that "the sta- tutes compel him (the clerk) to send the no* tice to us. (the Advanee)." This is false. The statutes neither compels nor directs me so to do. I might have sent it to Owen Sound or Thornbury, Ac. The intention of the Act is to let voters krow when the List is first posted up, and I maintain that I toc^ the best means of doing so. The Advance neglacts to quote the section wliich provides that "the performance by the clerk ot the duties required of him shall be piRSCTOBT osLV, and the non-performance by him of said duties, shall not render null and void or inoperative any of the Lists in this Act mentioned." This is au important notice, and should it foil to appear in the issue immediately fol- lowing the first posting, Osprey would be dis- franchised, (nccording to the Advance logic) Now the Advance ieTnot always punctual in the 5criormance of its work. The Council of a Municipality "next" to Osprey ordered itH clerk to get schedules printed at Advance office, and the result was that the pathmas- t4rs"next" to Osprey got their lists on fools- cap ruled and written by the clerk I Fancy a Clerk having to work night and day writing 100 or more Boad Lists through the Advance's delay If the Advance ordered a new coat, and on opening the parcel tonnd only the lining,and pait of that old and borrowed, would he call that a new coat No more is the Advance, published in municipal ty next to Osprey, but only the Uning, and pieces of that old and borrowed. Whv does the Advance nse such expres- sions as "sweep," "nice man 1" wily clerk." Ac. Partly because the Council passed it by in awarding the printing contract. Let it shew when or where I trreatcd the council, individnally or eoUectiv«ly, with contempt or meddle with the Advance establishment till I was fdanderonsly attacked. In its issue of the 24th it asks, 'How does it happen that the Stakdabp gets Osprey mi- nutes to publish and we do not f Is this ano- ther dodge of the wily Clerk We pause for reply?" This statement is false. I offered to send minutes in rotation to Standard, Beview, Ad vanee and Messenger the paper reeeiving to •end proof sheets to the others, so that all might pnblish at the tame time. On the 5h June the minntei for Slst May and Court of Bevision were in Flenfaerton Post Office lor Advauoe. How is it the minutes were so long in appearing in Advanee aad how was it the others were onaMe to publish till the following week Why does Advanee seek to create discord in OTrey bv introducing poli- tics into the municipal oontest I pause fpr a reply. The Advanca lets the real secret of its tem per peep out. "The Clerk is a Orit " Oh, horriUe erime t And "of the first water 1" Worse 1 1 And witboatJeave of the Adyanee.
