Bailey, Teacher. What about that proposed saw mill in Markdale. There is a felt want for one in our midst, and we have no doubt it would prove a profitable in- vestment for a ^nishiug man. There is yet a large quantity of various kinds of timber within easy reach, all of which would find a ready market. The advantages of a mill close to "the railway over those a few miles out are many. In the first place the great bulli of timber sawed, is shipped by rBil, and the prices paid for logs in the village w^ould be but little if any more than that paid a few miles out. while there would be a very material saving in hwying the lumber con- venient to load on the car instead of having to haul it on wagons and per haps lose a profitable sale hy not having it ready for shipping. Then there is the slabs which are almost valuless in the countrv, which, when cut up always find a ready iale in the village for fuel at a fair price. There are other advautaoies and we hope to see a good business man take advan- tage of this excellent opening forth- with. JOHN MONTGOMERY Also the best brand ot LIQUOR AND CIGARS alwaws in stock.
