 '^.^^ ^..^T^V -f^TtS^TS I mi *,«»-♦ '1' f^: C. W. Eutledge, Proprietor. TIABKDALE, SEPT. 6. 1"888- A NEW VOLUME. Wilk-tbis issue the Standabd toms over another page in its history and enters smilingly, and we trust success- fully 4)pon its NIKTH TOLVMB. Eight'years ago 'we entered the field of jonrniiiism, intending to furnish the people 6i Markdale and surrounding townships with a live local paper, de- voted to their interests, untrammelled by political bias, and free from those bitter personahties, which so often yield even more bitter harvests. ' As to what measure of success has attended our efforts, we leave our read- ers to judge. We are conscious of failures, and may not have reached the perfection, for which so many critics look, and look in vain, to find in the average village editor indeed we have not reached our own ideal. Nevertheless, we are not discour- aged, because we have failed to please everybody. We never intended to at- tempt so utter an impossibility. If we had, we should have displayed as iittle common sense as those,who have expected us to do it. It is sufficient for U8 to know that our efforts to fur- nish the people of this district with a first-class local paper, have been ap- preciated, and that to-day, the Stand- abd is a welcome visitor in hundreds of happy homes. Looking back over the past eight years we are glad to note the pleasing improvement in our thriving village, the deyelopment ot its industries, the numerical, intellectual, and financial growth of its population, culminating in the INCOBFOBATION OF MABSDALE, and now that it has the management of its own affairs, and the control of its own taxation, still greater success, and even more rapid strides of ad- vancement may be expected. In the success that has thus smiled upon the village, the Standabd as one of its business interests has shared, in a large and constantly increasing sub- scription list, and increased advertis- ing patronasre. Therefore the Agri- cultural editor, the Political editor, the J^ighting editor, and the Spoiting editor, whose heart is made sad by effusions of spring poets, and columns of gratuituous advertisements of horse- men and their horses, and the foreman, the mailing clerk, and the P. D.â€" all with one consent speak thusly We are pleased by the success at- tained, and are determined to be still more painstaking in the future than we have been in the past, and make every effort ifl our power to render the Standabd increasingly interesting to its numerous readers. Eight years ago we marked out the course we intended to pursue. We are rot conscious of haying deviated from the principles then laid down, and believing the course followed in the past has been endorsed by our i^^aders (wich but few exceptions) we intend to pursue the same course in "lUe future. To those who have accorded us a li'.eral advertising patronage, to our prompt- paying subscribers, and to our i iitbful corresiioudents who by means of their weekly budgets of news have 1 Materially aided us iu rendering the Standabd acceptable, we tender" our Hucere thanks, and hope by continu- ing a straight-forward eonrse to ment a continuation of their confidence and support. for the informaticHi of the Staitoabd resdors, that the above ceremony took place on Monday eyening at the Methodist parsonage, the bride's fath- er officiating. Thwe was none pre- sent but the pastor's family and the editor's daughter. The happy couple left per evening train for Owen Sound for a trip up the lates. We join with the multitude in congratulations to the respected editor and his estimable wife. The paper is already crowded, but before I close I wish to refer briefly to a personal matter, as this is a favor- able opportunity. Since I last appear- ed in this capacity I have passed through a serious and prolonged illness and have ever since felt myself under lasting obligations to many of the residents of Markdale as also from the surroundingneighborhood for practical sympathy and deeds of kindness dur- ing those months of suffering and anxiety. In this respect I would es- pecially remember Mr. and Mrs Wm. Haskett, who could nothave been more self-denying and attentive during the time of my greatest need. Those acts of benevolence and deeds of kindness I may never be able to recompense, but will cherish a greatful remember- ance to each and all. So long, W. T. Jaceuan. i=nf ' -- ' j i.

But we scarcely looked for any posi- tive beneficial result immediately. Yet here it isâ€" "annexation delayed twenty-five years." Amen. May it be forever delayed, says the Standabd. We beheve in annexation (that is some kinds of it) but not in the annexation of Canada to a country where pohtical feeling leads men to stultify themselves and drive them almost to the verge of insanity every four years, a country where Sabbath desecration is rife, where the marriage tie is held so loosely, a land of wooden nutmegs and basswood hams.
