 iiiiliiplpiipppi -^1 'â- Â«Â£; Tha Standard. MAEKDALE, AUGUST 30th 1883. The prospects for the growth and prosperity of our village has not been as promising at any peiiod of its short kistory.as at the present time. When we carefully consider our geographical fosition, we can see no reason why larkdale should not be a town in the near future, being located 17 miles from Durham and about 25 from Meaford and Thornbury, giving it a district of at least 10 miles on each aide, of prosperous Agricultural coun- try, the conclusion will force itself up- on every thoughtiul citizen that "Markdale must grow." Then we have the best market in the district, which draws a trade from 15 to 20 miles distant. Many of our business men are men of capital and enterprise and we are gratified to learn from them that the .past year has been very successful, • and that the village has done a much larger business than anj pre- mous year. The next question to be considered is, in what way can the continued progress of the place be assured. Two things we require to do, first en- courage manufacturing industries in our midst, and second to improve our leading roads. In what way can this be done, are we as a village, in a position to en- courage or assist those much desired â- objects. We pay our Township rates year by year, and what do we get in return. Those who have seen the 4,ridge just completeJ at Armstrong's creek, half a mile from the centre of 'Our village, can form snme idea of how this place is treated at the hands of the Glenelg Council, a bridge which is a disgrace tu the Council, a dis- grace to the road commissioner, and also to the village, wo believe the \Woi'st specimen of bridge we have ever 'beheld, and that on the most exten- sively travelled road in the district. We would not expect the Township to ^pend a large sum in our village, but we certaiuly are entitled to a respec- table and substantial job,, instead of the above tumbl down utructure. We would strongly urge the advisa- 'bility of incorporation under the cir- cumstances, there is no hopes of any material improvement on the present state of affairs, besides not being in a â-  position to encourage manufacturing industries in any practical shape. If we wish to eee our village progress, it can be done by having good leading roads, and encouraging such enter- prisps as will make it a business centre, where the farmer can have his grist groound, his wool carded, oats traded for meal, horses shod, tin- ware sodered, harness repaired, boots soled, watch cleaned, pay his news- jiapt-r supscriptiou, c., c., all at one trip, however, we claim that incorpor- ation is the fiist and most important move in tl.e direction of sure pro- gress. â€" â€" »• THE LATE STOBM. **IN THE MIDST OF UffE. WE ARE IN OEATH/' The cold hand ot death has again, visited our village^ claiming for its victim one of our moatr amiable and promisine: young ladies in the person of Missv Saraii, third daughter of Wm. Armstrong, Esq., aged 20 yrs.,. 8 months, 19 days, bhe was stricken down with inflamation of the bowels, which baffled the skill of the attanding physicians, and on Monday evening last, being only seven days from the first synptomb' of disease, death ended her suflferingSn Her premature demise has cast a gloom over the village, especially the youth of about h«r age, among whom she was a general favorite. Slie was a member of the Methodist Church choir for six years, and will be greatly missed there, but m no place will the vacancy be realized as keenly as at home under the parental roof, where her warm heart and genial disposition were so entwined; mto the affections of each member of the family as well as her parents, that the trial will indeed be severe. Our warmest sympathy is with them in their present bereave- ment. The funeral was the largest we have Witnessed in this sect'on. Rev. Mr. Casson preached an able and im- pressive sermon on the Eesurrection of tbe body. The Choir stand' and pulpit were draped in raourning as also the vacant chair, which has been so regularly filled by deceased in the past. A GREAT DAY AT iSHELBURNE.

The prize list is now being 1rint.;d with their show bills, and the vnzes are ve:y creditable mdeed, both fm to auiouut and variety. The show â- will t..Le place oe Tuesdav October 4th. A special tram of twenty-two cars, all crowded with people arrayed in pic-oic attire, left Parkdale early Saturday morning for fthelburne, the occasion being the annual pic-nic of the employes of the Toronto, Grey Bruce railway. The special followed the regular express acd reached Shel- burue shortly after 12 o'clock, being about an hour longer in making the Go miles than it should have been. The visitors found the flourishing little town already thronged with ex- cursionists from Owen Sound and stations South, who together with the large contingent from the Tees- water branch, swelled the number of invaders to nearly six thousand. The employes of the road aod their friends never turned out in such strength before, and they received a very heartv and enthusiastic recep- tion from the good folks of Shelburne. An evergreen Arch, decked with flags and colors, was erected at the station, and the main street was hung with streamers of welcome and bunting. A committee ot leading citizens, and in fact the residents generally placed themselves at the disjiosal of the visi tors and did all they could to make their brief stay agreeable and pleasant ore. which they succeeded in admira- bly doing. The hotels and private houses afforded ample accommodation lor all comers, while numerous picn'c- iug parties found a delightful retreat in Mr. Jelly's beautiful grove. The afternoon was spent in the usual way the railway committee offered suo- sfautial prizes for numerous games, which were well contested, while those who did not care for parti(;ipatiug in or witnissiug such athletic exercise found diversion on the dancing plat- form or stroling round the shady grounds, an orchestra and three or four bands filling the air with sweet music all the while. There was a strong and keen contest in the tug of war resulting in a victory for the T. G. B. team. The gathering broke â- p about six and by eight all the ex cursionests were on their way home, a little tired of course, but charmed and delighted with their visit. Shel- burne was glad to have them there, and tbey were pleased with She]burn,e, which IS one of the busiest stations on line, and is rapidly increasing in p^^os- perity and population. â€" World. serious Accident, â€" On Thur«la3' last as Mrs. G. M- Butchart. her daughter and niece were out for a drive in their phaeton, on the hill to the east of the town, the horse took fright, and a son of Mrs. Butohart's who was driving, being unable to hold him he dashed among a very rocky piece of laud near the pleasure ground, where the wholeof the occupants were thrown out and all more or less severely injured. Mrs. butchart recei- ved a severe cut oa ifte head, and the otliertwo ladies were badly bruised. Fortnntely no limbs were broken and we are glad to hear that all are progressing favorably.â€" Q.
