 *4 'lii lÂ¥mm C. W. Batledge, Proprietor. MARKDALB, MAY 29, 1890. THE 24th in MAEKDALE. The weather was gorgeous, roads good and everything favorable for a -grand day's sport, bat no amusement bad been provided, so eacli had to "paddle his own canoe " not even an fintertainment at night was there, to satisfy the longings of human nature, and our citizens betook themselves, some to Owen Sound, where great attractions were offered to pleasure seekers; some to other pleasure resorts, while a goodly number went fishing. There was therefore great quietness in town. W. J. McFarland's Union Jack floated majestically in the breeze on that "toploftical" flag pole and was the only one we got a glimpse of. It does seem as though the Queen's Birthday fails to enthuse as in the days of yore, while our National Day, 1st July, increases in interest and en- thusiasm from year to year. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" Mr. Eykert was re-elected in Lincoln last Friday by a majority of 37. â€" Heavy raias fell throughout Kansas last week, and materially benefited the crops. â€" Over 100 carpenters left London, Ont., recently far British Columbia,' to work for a railway company. â€" The Presbyterian General As- sembly of the United States has de- cided to appoint a committee on the revision question.

On the 14th inst. a well dressed young man came to this village and took tiis night's lodging at the Queen's Hotel. In the morning he got up and started for Owen. Sound on foot and without paying for his lodging. The landlord started in pursuit of him, whereupon the young man, thinking that he might be overtaken, came back and payed him, then started on without his breakfast. This is not the first one that has tried the same trick here. Traverston. Walter's Falls. "Epistolarum Commercium." The recent warm weather, together with the abundance of rain, is being followed by a rapid growth. The village seemed deserted on the 24th. Large numbers attended the celebration at Owen bound and report a good time. Mr. H. Bonnell, Sr., has gone east to spend a short time in visiting friends.

One love- sick couple gathered flowers in the shady forest, and while the fair maid- en trimmed the flowers the gallant lover hovered near quoting lines from the language of flowers. Over sixty people spent the day among the rocks at Reynolds' falls. What a feast it is to gaze upon the waters as they go dashing over the foam-washed preci- pice. We are pleased to learn that Mr. James Hall, of the 10th con., is re- covering from his illness, though slowly. Our pastor is a hero, he faces the rain out to Zion without ever flinch- ing, and gives us sermons that would arouse the. most hardened of sinners. Abraham Cook, Esq., is home after spending a month v friends at Owen Sound. He Iooks ten years yonger than he did. We almost hugged the cor. wLo sent in the budget from our village while we were absent. Passdi. [Why insert the word "almost" in last paragraph of above .friend Passim?
