 m^mii^Jiji.ii"' â-  i'^.'VJJ^f KSPRRf" 1 m i :-5- k 5 U V TUb Standard MAKKDALE NOV. 18, 1884. â€" On the 10th inst., Neil McCannel, Esq., of the township of Glenelg, Co. •of Grey. Deceased once held a prom- inent position in the municipal man- â- as^ement of Gleuelg while his urbane •demeanour and friendly disposition, endeared him to all with whom he came in contact. Our loiprovements. There are few villages in Ontario that have made such steady progress upwards ard onward, as our own town of Markdale neither have our improvements been of a flimsy, eph- emeral nature, but, we can boast of a greater number of substantial build- ings than any other town of its popul- ation, in this or any other County in the province. The number of build- ings erected this season is perhaps not equal tc some former years, yet some of them are of such a character as to make up for number. The first important improvement of the season is that of Mr. J. W. Ford, of which we briefly referred to some time ago. At a cost of over $4,000, Mr Ford has introduced the roller system iato his flour mill, vrhicb system is now being, almost nniyersa- ly adopted througout the Continent, This mill was erected but a few years since, but, the proprietor, being an enterprising business man, is deter- mined to keep abreast with the times and has rhade the above change, which we hope may result profitable to himself, as well as the community. VICTOEIA MILL. Mr. Angus Plewes has erected a new mill from the bottom, which has this week commenced operations; this is another full line roller mill with the latest improved machinery throughout Mr. Plewes is a first-class practi(fal miller, (lu fact we might say the whole Plewes family connection are millers) however Mr. Angus has spirit, enterprise and push suffi- cient to carry him through almost anything at a cost of about $7,000 he has completed, what he considers "a model" mill; this in itself is a valuable addition to the place. The Eevere Hotel was this summer been overhauled and an addition built thereto. The City Hotel enlarged. Mr. Wilson Benson has completed a. substantial bricli block ou Mill St. Mr. J. McKenna, a two-stcry building for a blacksmith shop. Mr. Bae has finished his pair of stores with public hall above. These stores have, by all odds, the finest fronts in Markdale, being large plate glass. Mrs. Caswell has also erected and finished a large boarding house overlooking the rail- way. This is a large square building with cottage roof, and is well finished. Then there is Joseph Gibson's resi- dence on George St., a veneered house; a new saw-mili at Barrhead Mills, and a saw-mill in course of construction by M. Armstrong. Were it not for the s?reat scarcity of lumoer the above list would have been greatly swelled, its it is, we have no reason to complain of the season's ad- vancement, but rather congralute our- selves on the extent and class of ad- ditional wealth to our prosperous Village. favor of the respective ocders. The foUowing also appeared :â€" Miss Wil- son, music Mr. Porter, Kcitation Mr. W. A. Brown, song; Mr. Spar- ling, readim; Rev. Mr. Cassou, ad dress and the "National Anthem" by the assembly. This wound up "ThanksgivingDay" in a very pleasant way. ' ~FOX HUNT. Last Monday a party of our sports- men went out to try their luck, amongst whom was Smith, McNea, Brothers and others, whose names we did not learn. They took th« railway- track north, and when a short dis- tance across the Saugeeu river, the dogs "gave tongue," and in a few minutes a rousing eilver-colored fox came bounding across the track, con- siderably in advance of the dogs but Reynard met an unexpected foe in an unerring slug from Smith's Win- chester, which rolled him over and over. • He soon regained his feet, when McNea gaye him another "send- home " yet, there was sufficient vitality left to carry him to his den, some 500 yards distant. The boye procured spades and shovels, and re- moved as much earth as would have made an excellent cellar for a large commercial house. Night put an end to their efforts. gojrrespimdettca.

On the 4th inst. the Yankee nation was thrown into its usual quadrennial turmoil as to whom should belong the power of displacing all, or nearly all, the public servants of the country, and supplanting old servants with the inexperienced pubUc hands who may have rendered any service to the suc- cessful party. The candidates were Blain, RepubUcau, and Cleveland, Democrat. The 'atter has been suc- cessful, if the voters in the Electoral College remain true to their party. The Republicans have bfi^n the masters of the situation smce 1861, and it is said much of their ascend- ancy was due to the dispensing power they possessed in connection with the late war. It is to be hoped that the incoming President will inaugurate a Reciprocal commercial trade ofi'er to our Canada, so that business men dealing to and with the respective countries will not be put to the incon- veniences they have been since the Republican party came into power. HONEST RIVALRY. It has been with a degree of regret that we have witnessed the un-ediiorial action at law between our esteemed confreres, the Chronicle and the Review of Durham. Honest riyalry need not make enemies but the two worthies mentioned have carried thoir opposi- tion so far as to bring their respective households into the fray â€" the eflorts of the two belligerents being to see which of them could first present Her Majesty with another ratepayer. The figures will be found in another column. We generally make a moder- ate charge ior legal adyice, but, in respect to the fraternity, this is gratis: â€" Next Monday morning, meet at Garafraxa street bridge shake hands across the Saugeen River, go down to Middaugh's arm m arm, and drown your antipathies in his refreshing clarified cider. THE WHEAT SUPPLY. Further developments in connec- tion with tbe grain market do not offer much ground for hope of any considerable increase in prices. Ac- cording to the (October report of the Ameriuane department of agriculture, tbe wheat crop exceeds thatof lastyear 1 "o ^^^^^ l"pod money, let uss be in our by 100,000,000 bushels.' The prob- "' " " " ' ' ' " ScoU Act in Grey 2*0 the Editor of the Standard. Sm,â€" The majority of your readers have heard with regret that the vote cannot now be taken in Grey, so as to bring the Act in force next May. This will be felt more especially by those hving on the borders ot the county, as we do at binghamptou. Simcoe has voted out the Licensed Drink Traffic, and so here we will have Scott Act ou one side, and Crook's Act on the other. It is anti- cipated this will be a sort of watering place, for dry throats of Nottawasaga. Though the petitions came short, yet we rejoice to hear that they are to be filled, and the work vigerously prose- cuted. We do not believe that the majority of the people of Grey want such a traffic in theii midst, or that they care to license it any longer, and thus bring themselves into partner- ship in the dreadful work. People of our Province are wiping their hands free from the stains, which have pol luted them so long. May God liasten the day when this whole Do- minion shall no longer have any com- plicity in the curse, which has degrad- ed it. The drink traffic does net pay financially, socially, or morally. Sir, I wish my fellowmen would not degrade themselves by selling intoxi- cating liquors. They must see their victims going down, down in finances down in the social scale, down in morals* They must see tliat to gam the money they look for, they have to trust their hands through blood and tears and misery and crime. Does money satisfy coosience for the work their busmess accomplishes O but he says "See that piece of tin over the door licensed to sell, c. The people license me, let them look after the ruin the business causes," and we turn our eyes with shame to that piece of tin, which is evidence that we authorize the work goicg ou. Of course it does not reileve him, in the least from his responsibility, but it makes us partners so long as we license. The County of Grey is under a moral obligatition to Simcoc,Dufferin, and Bruce, to go right ahead with Suott Act work. They Lave gone into it with the full expectation that Grey was coming into line at once, let us show them that we are true to the faith placed in us. Let every man, woman and child ask in this crisis "Lord, what wilt thou have me todo " Especially so let this be the case with every Christian. Does God want ns to sustain the drink trade If so let us do it. Does he want us to fold our hands in indifference Is there any neutral ground between right and wrong When the Lord calls us to remove tlie License System, and take ANNIVERSABir. The Canadian Order of Oddtellows and Ancient Order United Workmen of this village held their annual union entertainment on Thursday evening in their hall. The hall was well filled and a very pleasant and enjoyable evening was spent. An hour passed in games and general social amuse- ment, followed by refreshments, after which a programme was entered upon and gone through in which Mr. Wm. Brown appeared as representative of the A. 0. U. W. order, and Mr. A. Tmmer in behalf of the C. O. 0. F., each prodaciiig forcible argtuaoent ia i^g^^ able wheat requirements of the world â€" exclusive of the home demand in the wheat producing countiies â€" is estimated at 273,815,000 bushels, and the available supply, at 287,000,000 bushels, leaving a surplus of about thirteen million bushels. There has been considerable loss in harvesting the wheat crops in Russia, especially in the northern portion of the empire, owing to snowstorms, and only the southern region will be able to bring its full quota to market. But any dejficiency in the European supply from this source is likely to be more than made up by the good harvest in England and other parts of Europe, In England a larger area than usual has been planted with wheat this fall, which will have a depressing effect upon the market iu view ofthe proba- bility of an increase in the domestic supply next year. On the whole the prospects are not favorable for any rise in the price of wheat, and the farmers wiU do well to market their grain at the raUng prices instead of lioldiug for higher rates.â€" Zbivnto place and Ifinish iho work He gives us lo do.
