He has resumed Work teaching his senior class, preparatoiry to the examinations for third class certificates, haying opened his private residence for that purpose, rather than await the tardy movements of the trustees in providing a room. An application from the public school board for tbe use of the basement of the Methodist church for school purposes until a new school building is erected, was coQsided bv the church trustees at a meeting on Monday last but not accept- ed.

At tbe Royal College of Dental Sur- gery, Toronto, J. P.

Mr. Marshall visits Mark- dale every two weeks and enjoys a largo practice, and his many customers will be pleased to learn of his honored success. Ihito tlie Kord. Under the above caption an article appeared in the Flesherton Advance last week which was a plausible attempt to make black appear white, and by distorting figures, the editor plays the roll of the Pharisee admirably. He ex- tols the Christianity of Flesherton Methodistsiby selecting one connexional fund, to which Flesherton people had contributed more for the part conference year than did the people of Markdale or Dundalk, and thus endeavors to create an erroneous impression. Why not give the whole truth Simply because that would eulogize his neighbors at the ex- penseof his own vicinity. Following are the correct figures as regards Flesherton and Markdale: Mem^rshipâ€" Flesher- ton 270, Markdale 268. Amount raised for all church purposes, Flesherton ♦1,590.08, Markdale ♦1.772.87. Differ- ence in favor of Markdale ♦181.89. Amotiiit per member for Flesherton ♦S.TS and a fraction, txst Markdale ♦6.50 and a fraction. Take the previous year, if you please,' and we find the foUowmg, aU taken from the official conference reports: Membership for Flesherton 278^ tor Markdale 266. Total amo^t raised by Fkdierton ♦1,865.64, by Mark- dale ♦2,187.78. Difference in favor^ Markdale ♦772.24, or in otLer worto ov« ♦ per member for Markdale and less than ♦ per member for Flesherton. Xl-ge are the correct figures without anr attempt to miriead, and yet we fiul .1 M ««rn«aiJe boasting of Bastardly Act. Some vile wretch struck mth a stick the plate glass window of R. S. Rae's gents' furniBhing store in this village about two o'clock on Wednesday morn- ing last, breaking the glass, the stick going through. Mr. Rae heard t^e noise, being in bed, but did not think any dam- age was done until morning, Tchen he found a ^27 hght smashed. This kind of rowdyism should be ferreted out at any cost and the recreant punished severely. A Cold 91p. W. J. McFarland, Reeve of Markdale, owns a vacant corner lot opposite Haskett Bros hardware store, and on this M there is a well forty feet deep with oyer ten feet of vrater in it, which has not been used for some years, yet it had ho covering save a few loose boards; neither is there any fence around the lot. Village children play here as well as anywhere else, and indeed it seems natural for youngsters to prefer the most mischievous and dangerous spot for sport. On Saturday evening last the kids were scampering about this "dead fall" when a Uttle three-year-old daughter of Jo. Irwin dropped in. The alarm was given and not knowing whose child it was consternation ran high among the mothers around the vicinity. Will. Dnndas, a clerk in Mercer's store close by sprang across the street to the well and throwing his limbs about the old slimy pump shot down in double quick time but nothing was to be seen but a child's hat which floated on the water. After some grappling among debris which also floated he found the child underneath, and calling for a rope it was hurriedly elevated, taken to its home a few rods distant and medical aid summoned, and we are pleased to say the little one is not much the worse for its unenviable experience^ It was certainly a close call, and W. J. Mc- Farland can thank his stars that it is not more serious. A small doctor's bill and a suit of clothes for Will. Dundas â€" ^who completely destroyed his every garment in his speedy descent down the filthy pump to the rescue â€" will be the extent of the damages, all of which we are sure our generous Reeve and Post- master will cheerfully make ?ood, as well as secure properly the well against further mishap- Bnsinesi Jjooals. to W o* any of onr ?^?P»ebqas*uig yiS^ baye #o?!» o!
