The last mouth of the year is enter- ed npon, and a word to our friends aeons called for. We feel thankfal to each and all for your esteemed pat- ronage daring another, year. Oar subscription list is indeed satisfactory â- a,s a whole, both in regard to number of subscribers and being well paid ap. Our best efiorts are more or less mark- ed with imperfection, yet, we aro as- sured of the confidence and sapport of hundreds of respected patrons, and are thus encouraged to perseyere in our iumbie efforts. The time for renewing subscriptions for another year is at hand (indeed quite a number have already paid for 1889) and we expect to enter the com* ing year with a- larger list than any previous year. Don't let any begin to economise by dropping their local paper it mily costs two cents a week, .aud is not an act of true economy to 'deprive your family of its weekly visits rather encourage Bome neigh- bor, who does not now take the Stan- SABD, to subscribe, and thus stimulate 'the editor to greater efforts in produc- ing a Uve, spicy, interesting paper tby so-doing you share in the benefits. -In conclusion we would most earnest- Jy ask all our subscribers, far and near, to assist us by sending, or hand- ing in, items of news. Our village (likes to know the doings of its sister villages, and one neighborhood the progress of other neighborhoods, so that by a general interest being taken in the local paper, each subscriber can share in the benefit of every contributor and enjoy with his family, by his own fireside, the fruit of this co-operative effjrt on the part of the editor and patrons. Hoping to merit a continu- .ance of your support and wishing you •each and all the compliments of the jjeason, we are, as ever, your obedient .servant, T Editdb. â€" Thfi Pope has aptoiBted Deeem- ber 81 as a day of gener^ thanksgiving in Boman Catholic ehdrches. â€" In the candie poisoning ease in Gait the inqaest has been closed re* suiting in a verdict of wilful mnrder by an unknown party. â€" The village of Farmersville, be- tween Brockville and Westport, with a population of 800, has become in- corporated under the ambitious name of Athens. â€" Sixty or seventy poor penums, of Toronto, were treated to a h-ee break- fast last Sunday morning at Bichmond Hall, after which a praise and song service was held.

This was perhaps the largest factory of the kind in the Dominion. tb'i-i^-lj' â- Â»ri» Kakftord Xoad. Standard Correspondence. The pale horse and his rider has been very busy in this neighborhood, durmg the last five weeks no less than four deaths having occured during that time. Mr, John Stevenson was the first. He had been in a poor state ot health for the last year or so, and quietly passed away on the 11th of last mgnth.. The next to follow on the next Sunday was the youngest child of Mr. E. Jones. Then came last week, on the same day. Miss Ben- nett and Miss Cullis. Who will be the next. Mr. J. Anderson has just paid us his annual visit, collecting the dimes for our municipal fathers. Mr. J. Warhng lost a valuable mare some time ago by a kick from her mate. Mr. and Mrs. Bichardson, of Ghats- worth, are visiting their friends here at present. Mr. J. Holly is back again from the Sault where he went to look for work some time ago. POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel for purity, strength and wholesomeness.

The question of establishing addi- tional High Schools in this- county is being agitated by the press, and all the arguments ajipear to be strongly in favor of more schools. The school- going population ot this county is one of the largest in the province, and while other counties have from two to six High Schools, this large and im- portant county has but one, further- more, many smaller counties draw from the government from two to three hundred per cent, more money for High. School purposes than (jrey. This is not giving our rising popula- tion a fair chance, as it is well known that many are deprived from attend- ing High School bfccause of the ex- pense of attending at a distance from home. Durham, Meaford and Mark- dale are each anxious for a High School, and we believe it would be greatly to the advantage of the county as a whole were three additiontd schcole established at those three points. The importance of education- al advantages cannot be over- estimated.
