 â- M -.3 !, Tha Standatrd. MAEKDALE JAN. 31, 1884. THE FOURTH ESTATJB. A meeting of the publishers of Grey •and Dufferin will be held at the Mark- dale House, Markdale, at 10 o'clock a. m., on Friday the 8th February for the purpose of forming a Press As- sociation for the above counties. We have heard from every publisher but two and expect yet to hear from their. Each have expre.5sed their intention of bemg present, or otherwise abide by the decision of the majority, hence a unanimous meeting may be ex- pectfcd. We hope to see the ball con- tinue to roll from county to county. We may here state that owing to Dufferin being a small county and the publishers thereof located on the line making it convenient to reach here, we took the liberty of extending to them an invitation to unite with us. j^atTespoBd^BCB* Presentation at Rosenionnt. We clip the following from the Minnedosa Tribune. Mr. Fanning is a son of Mr. Jos. Fanning, Williams- ford, who some six years ago moved to that part, was a councillor for the county of Harriston last year and was again elected by acclamation as Eeeve for the Slime municipality. He re- ceived his first musical instructions from Mr. W^m. Ewart, of Holland, and since that time has been very successful in its pursuit, as the fol- lowing testimony will show â€" A very pleasant gathering of the members and friends of the Eosemonnt singing school took place one evening last week. Tho pro- ceedings %vere opt-ned by Mr. Werington Craig reading the following address To Mr. Joseph Fanning. Deah Sib. â€" We the members of the Rose- mount singing class. and friends, have agreed to meet yon here this evening for a pleasant and friendly purpose, to offer you in the name of those who have studied under you, for the promotion of what we believe to be a true improvement of the intellect, a small token of our confidence and approval. We solicit your acceptance of these little orna- ments, not as a reward for your labors, for you find that in the approbation of your own conscience, but as a memento of our appreciation of them. That fidelity to prin- ciple which is the jewel of an honest patriot's soul, has its type in these unblemished gems, and it is for this reason they have been se- lectoil by your pupils and friends as au ap- inopriate testimonial uf their esteem for a tried and trusted instructor and comrade. We know that you will prize the gift for its associations, not for its intrinsic value. It represents feelings and sentiments which time can no more char ge or dim than it can impair the lustre of the diamond. Let them remind you of the high esteem in which the givers hold your character and musical talent both as a public man and teacher. We have great pleasure in assuring you that it is a spontaneous offering of genuine attachment, and now sir please permit these youpg ladies to place them in your posses- .sioii and express the earnest wish that you may long live to use them. The gifts were a gold pen and pencil, Ma- sonic pin and a pair of cuff buttons with Masonic emblems. They were presented by Miss Craig and Miss Maggie JEcCallum. Mr. Famiins replied as follows Dear Scholars and Friends. Being so taken by surprise I am at a loss for words to express my deep sense of grati- tude and thankfulness to you for your kind expressions of esteem and regard. In con- tinuing the singing school I am acting with H view to self-improvement as well as to benefit others, so my motives are not en- tirely free from selfishness. I assure you I have found it at all times a pleasure to teach as yon have each and all been earnest and diligent in your studies. Dear scholars and friends I assure you these gifts shall be treasured not for their intrinsic worth or value, but as a pleasing memento of tlie many happy hours we have spent together. Tour action to-night convinces me that I hold a high place in your esteem and affec- tion and I trust that by proving myself worthy I may long be able to retain that en- viable position, In conclusion I thank you all most sinflerely and heartily for the kind sentiments you have given expression to, also for your valuable gift.' and I wish you each and all a hearty, happy, good New Year, After the presentation sevei-al good songs were given by the following ladies and gen- tlemen Miss McCallmn, Miss Maggie Mc- Callum, Messrs. B. L. Green, Jos. Fanning, D Hamilton and A. B. Fanning. » IO « It is now expected that the Govern- nn«nt will introduce a measare redoc- kiti' letter postage from three to two »fnta to corr5Bpond" with thfi present Villi ted Statqb rates..

Black has been appointed to the oflce of Township Clerk. This is as it should be, all the officers of the municipality should be residents therein. I have no doubt Mr. Black will make a yery good clerk. We understand that Mr. J as. Lauder will be an aspirant for the office of assesoor made vacant by Mr. Black's promotion. Mr. Lauder IS an old resident, has been in the council for some years should have a good knowledge of the township and we thmk a very good man for the po- sition. Ratepayek. A BIG L.UMBER FAIL.URE. The Briiish CRtiadian Liumtoer- ing and Timber Co. For some time rumor has been busy .with the affairs of the British Canadian Lumber and Timber company, the ofces of which are at 34 Scott street. It was stated yester- day that a receiver had been appointed, or rather that the company had assigned to the banks interested. The company had a capital of a million, mostly Scottish money, was formed some years ago, and bought extensive hmits and mills from the Cook Bros., Geo. J H. H. It is understood that the Messrs. Cook made a good thing out of the sale. George J. Cook is president of the company, and J. S. Lockie, formerly manager of the bank of Commerce, is its financial manager. The banks mainly interested are the Toronto, Quebec and Commerce, the liabilities to which foot up close on to a million dollars, perhaps half of which is secured. The com- merce is the largest creditor. It is now alleged that the rosy statements made as to the value of the hmits have not been realized, and that not only wUl the shareholders loose all the money that they put in it, but the ordinary creditors will not be paid, and the banks will be out a large amount, A short time ago it was hoped that the company would pull through by each of the banks advancing ?50,000 and the Scotch- men the same amount, but this appears to have been abandoned. A reporter asked Mr. H. H. Cook last night about the matter, but he had nothing to say. â€" Toronto World, â€" Time to Shoot Him. Eugenia. The annual tea-meeting of the Meth- odist Church here was held on the evening of the 24th inst.. and was in every respect a decided success. The tea was served in the old school house after which all repaired to th^ church, where the intellectual part of the en- tertainment took place. Mr. Carr was called to the chair, which he fill- ed with credit Tha singing was of an excellent character. Eev.A. Wilson, of Markdale, and Rev. Mr. German, of Manitoba, gave addresses. Proceeds An ingenious correspondent has sent us the following. We have no key to the mean- ing or solution, probably our readers can find one The Herald bearing the Stan- dard will Advance to the Mirror but the signs of the Times therein depicted will plain- ly prove that the Monitor is not a perfect Chronicle of public affairs in fact, is better I as a Beview for the Advertiser. An Econo- J mist will try to curtail Free Press principles, while at the same time he will Venture to nail a second Standard to the Post. â€" Mirror. Fearful Accident at Bognor. On Saturday evening, 12th inst.. a terribly painful accident happened at Bognor, and has since that time proved fatal. Mr. Wm. Luton, wiio was only married last Christinas day, was carrying out a boiler of boiling water, lie slipped and fell backwards and the water poured into his breast and over his arms, side and back. The skin was almost stripped from the upper part of his body. Dr. Par- sons, of this town, was sent for, and was soon doing all he could to allay the excruciating sufferings of the vic- tim of the accident. Although at one time there were some grounds for hope, they proved fallacious. â€" Mr. Luton passed away before a week had gone by. His young wife had the keen sympathy of her many neiuhbors and fiieuds in her sad and sore bereavement. â€" Mirror. ^i^aâ€" â€" i â€" â€" aBBBaaâ€"â€" BBM A 930 Bible Prixe.

We call our readers' attention to tne value, usefulness and direct profit of supplymg them- selves this year with the American Agricul- turist, the cheapest as well as the most valu able journal in the country. Every number contains one hundred columns of original reading matter, by the leading writers of the country, noon all topics connected with the farm, garden, or h )usehold, and nearlv one hundred engravings, made specially for the American Agriculturist. The paper, now in its 43rd year, is unquestionably more valuable than ever before. Each number brings frei-h evidence that no time or money is considered where the interest of the paper is at stake. Its house Plans and Improvements profusely illustrated, are worth more than any costly architectural works. Its persistent and fear- less exposure ot humbugs and swindling schemes, is of great value to the wliole coun- try, particularly the farming community In short it has something good and valuable for everybody.

The great winter carnival in Montreal, 4th to 9th February, is attracting thousands up- upon thousands of sight-seers frons all parts of the eontinent. The attack, defence and capture of the Ice Palace, the great skating carniva' on a scale of unprecedented gran- deur, the snow-shoe torchlight procession by thousands of snow-sheers, the toboganning fete on Mount Koyal, the groat sleigh-drive turn-out embracing live thousand superb sleighing eq-pages, the hving arch manned by the snow-shoers in club uniform, cheer- ing their Excellencies the Governor-General and Lady Lansdowne, as they are drawn through the triumphal arch, all these strik- ing and startling features of the great fete, and many others, are to be splendidly illus- trated in the Carnival number of the Mont- real Star, printed on superior paper, wiih fuU and double page colored illustrations. This special Carnaval number of the Mont- real Star will be of wonderful interest to all people in aU lands. It is gotten up by the best artists in this country, and will take the place of the Canadian Illustrated News, suspended. Ten cents, in stamps, sent to the publishers, Graham Co., will get a copy. Newsdealers will have them for sale. IVot content with Being the Best. Whatever may be said in regard to the propensity of the management of the great railway hues to provide for the public only what is actually demanded in the way of accommodations and comfort, can in no way apply to the management of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific liaUwav. or as it is more familiarly known "The Great Rock Is- land Route." This line ha3 for years been recognized as the best and most comfortable route between Chicago and Kansas City and the Southwest, and has been abundantly able on this account to successfully cope wi|h its competitors. But not satisfied with this success and its al eady elegant equipment, its managers have caused to be turned out of its shops at Chicago, a magnificent line of dining cars, which go into immediate service on tbe Karsas City Line. These cars contain all the conveniences of well finished dining rooms, are elegant in design and finish, and models of the advanced railway art of the day. Within them meals are furnished equal to those of any first class hotel in the land, at the low rate of senty-five cents. Travel- ers •n this line now find on its trains all the, comforts and conveniences of first-olass ho- tels. Besides the best of first and second class cbaclies, there are Parlor Chair Cars, (which are free to all passengers holding through first class tickets.) Pullman palace sleeping; cars and dining cars. -This company's lines â€" all of which are equally well equippedâ€" also extend to Coun- cil Bluffs and the West, and Minneapolis and St. Paul and the Northwest; and the de- served praise bestowed upon it by retnmed travelers who speak from experience, make it noted throughout the land. We bespeak for the owners and managers of this ml^;mficent railway ample returns for their generous provisions for the wants of the pubUo, which is as has aheady been proven by the patronage extended to this line, quiok to appreciate and patroaize those who prove Vr thenr deeds and g«Mtotta treatment that tb^y are devoted to itft Q()iBfiart and weUue. The undersigned having purchased the butcher business from Mr. F. ri.^RJEANx, beg to announce to the public that they are pre- pared to supply all who favor them with their patronage, with all kinds of meat, the best quality the country can afford.
