In these days of close competition in basinesB, small profits in farming, and bankruptcy so common on every hand, it is puzzling to know what coarse to adopt in order to support, while we live, and when death comes, to provide those depending .upon us against want. Life insurance is now within the reach of all, and even farm- ers, who are slow to adopt new methods of investments, are joining Mutual Insurance Societies in large numbers. How many there are who have struggled along to middle life eodeayoring to provide for those de- pending upon (hem hoping to leaye a competency when taken from them by death and yet have little or nothing to leave. How important and desirable it is therefore that such should avail themselves of a legacy which can be secured at a trifling ex- pense. From one to two dollars per iOQontii will secure $2000 at death, to Wife or family. What investment can any man make which ensures so large » return NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Mr. David Porter, of Amabel, lias been chosen by the Liberals ot INorth Sruce to contest the riding at the Provincial elections. â€" Journalism is a fascinating pro- lession. It is perhaps the hardest and most onerous of all the callings, and yet a man who has gotten into journalistic harness is seldom satisfied in any other field. It is a rushing, hustling life and a man forms habits of restlessness and incessant aclivity that render it almost impossible for him to engage in any other profession in which sober waiting plays a part. Dnndallc. titandard Corresiondence. The A. 0. U. W. of this village will have an oyster supper and entertain- ment here on Thursday evening. They will be pleased to welcome fraternally any of the Markdale brethren. Special services are being held at Bethel by Bev. Moss, assisted by Mr. McEeown. Considerable interest is being aroused and success is attend- ing the effort. The Methodist church here has ex- tended an invitation to Bev. G. Cobble- ^ick of Guelph to become their pastor after the June Conference. We un- derstand he has accepted the call, subject to the decision of the Station- ing Committee. Two gentleman were here last week looking for a suitable location for a foundry. They like the appearance of our village and consider it presents an excellent opening. The village council decided to offer them a site and exemption from taxation for ten years. There is eyery probabiUty that they will commence operations in a few weeks. Mr. Mark Armstrong, of Markdale, was in Dundalk on Mondy last. Our real estate man, A. G. Hunter has been for some time a student of the subtle ageut-eleotricity. He claims to have made some remarkable dis- coveries. We await developments with somewhat ot impatience. Already preparations are being made for building operations for the season. We hope to witness a sub- stantial growth in our village thisyea^r. Bev. Watts of Eugenia is holding xeviyal meetings near Wareham wi'Ji success. The Methodist Sabbath School here have organized an orchestra, con- sisting of the organ, a cornet and two violins. KUUd iB a SawnuU.

Our butcher, and others who are looking forward to warm weather, have been engaged lately in harvest- ing ice. The ice is taken from the mUl-pond, and although not so thick as it has been other years, seems to be of very good quality. Mr. B. Walter is making prepara- tions to erect an addition to his barn during the coming summer. The work will be done by Mr. W. Lemon. Special services were held in the Methodist church every evening last week except Saturday. The meetings are continued this week. Bev. (x. Hartley of Holland Centre has been assisting Bev. J. W. Sanderson in the work. Quite a variety of bibles aud testaments are on hand at the de- pository of the U. C. Bible Society here. Mr. Bonnell will be glad to show the stock to all who desire to get first-class bibles at the minnimum of cost. Mr. Geo. £ing, mail-carrier on the Meaford route, met with a lods on Tuesday of last week. It appears that as he was approaching Meaiord, his horse slipped or stumbled m such a way as to seriously injure one of its hind legs. It was thought at first that the leg was broken, or mjured in such a way as to render the animal entirely useless, but it now appears that there is a possibihty of its partial recovery.

Considering ihe state of the roads farmers have succeeded in getting out almost as much wood as in other winters. Quite a number of people in this vicinity visited the "Exhibition Car" on the 12th inst., most of whom were well pleased. One old man walked from Sullivan to see, as he said, ••Manitoba on wheels." Edward Williams, formerly of Inistioge, who recently bought the farm occupied by Mr. Fanning, is now living on it. We are informed that he intends to start a cheese factory here. We hope that he will carry it out. William Norton, Beeye of Holland, has the material for buildmg a fine brick house here in the summer, and when completed he and his family will occupy it. John Hartley is back from New- market where he has been attending High School. He will be stopping at home until after Eastnr when he will attend the Owen Sound Collegiate Institute. XlmlMrley. Standard Correspondence. As was announced the drama 'Ten nights in a Barroom," was given in the Town Hall here by a number of the young people of Flesherton. Owing to the short notice there was not as large an attendance as perhaps otherwise would have been. La Grippe is making a prolonged visit here. We are sorry to hear of Mr, G.

Dear Siti, â€" On looking over the Markdale news in last week's Flesher ton Advance I noticed an itera headed "Too good to keep," aud was astonish- ed to see Buch a vile, scurilous attack on a r^ispectable young man as was referred to in a paper having such a reputation for decency such as the Advance enjoys. Who the Markdale correspondent u I do not know, but if {a young man such as is referred to in ttat item aud who en- joys the good will of all Markdale is to be made the subject of such con- temptible reference, the sooner, both for the Advance's past reputation and Markdale's good name, the correspond- ent is remoyed the better. I am also satisfied that the young lady referred to (if there is one) is of the same opinion as myself, for I am sure that uo young lady would like her discard- ed lovers bounded around the country as that one has been. Evidently the correspondent is a jealous inindetl individual. Young Mah. His Head !â-  «t«1.

Once a correspondent becomes indifferent about his work be may as well go out of the busiheHS. if hs takes no interest in it he caunot expect to awaken the interest of others. A correspondent has an eaora ous ad- vantage if he only gives liimself a fair chance. He is almost always sure of a hearing, for the people will read correspondence when they will read notliing else. Editornil matter, be it ever so eloquent or well written, will often receive a deaf ear, when precise- ly the same idea, appearing as corres- pondence, will gaiu full attention. " Of course if he simply re] cords local happenings they will in- terest everybody in that locality, but wfll be of very little general interest. And by the way It is wondeiTul how much local interest tbe most trifling occurrences excite when tbey are com- mitted to pruit. There is scarcely anything too small to report or too insignificant to be read. The personal columu of a local newspaper is read with a keener interest than any other part of it. Your neighbor tells you something on the street and you pay no attention to it vfuvsee tlie same thing m the newspaper and you read it with interest. You know all aboit some occurrence; perhaps you were there and witnessed it from beginning to end, still when it appears in the newspaper you read it over with as much avidity as if it were wholly new to yoo» Local news, tborefwe, ao matter feow frivoloos^ is always nad Our new book " Successful Home Dydng " givioe full directions for all uses of Diamond Dyes, sent fiee on application.
