The need of a postoffice in this section is so great, that it seems strange that no permanent place to keep the office can be found) \Vash- hnrn’s cheese factory is located at SUPfll‘LOn four corners, and we should judge from the number of milk wagons that we saw at the factory on our re- turn trip that it is well patronized. Phasing on a. little further we came to Shefileld'e corners. Here we see that the old blacksmith shop is being util- ized as a cooperage. The Methodista‘ have a fine stone church here with ample Sheds for horses. Near Band llill we come to the new brick resi- dence of N. B. Howard, which is cer- tuinly an ornament to that section, and would be to many an older setâ€" tled part of Canada.

Leaving the village in the early ul’tornmm of Friday last we passed rapidly along the usual route leading In Delta. An examination of the Oui‘moming strolls among the in- dustries of the village and surround- ing mnntry have become so pleasant and profitable to its that we felt loath to huge our customary stroll this week to indulge in a more extended trip. But knowing something of the beauties of the resort to which the kind invitation extended us by some of our friends called nu, we concluded to deprive ourselves of the pleasure of strolling among Farmersville in (lustrios and accept the call to visit that now famous picnic ground, Jonos' Falls, and while we are sup- posed to haV'e an eye only to the lwnntimi in nature, to aino keep nlll‘ weather eye open to note any points of interest that would be of benefit [0 ()lll‘801V8H 01' X'Gfldel'fi.

The dlh‘lflnt‘t‘ from Elgin gin Jones' Falls is about tour miles. The road is somewhat rough, but there are some excellent farms along the route. Arriving at the Falls, we found that since our last visit, a fine bridge about 250 feet long had been built arrow the river at this point. This with the swing bridge aerose the canal connects the main land with the region familiarly known as California, Crossing the bridge we were upon one of the finest picnic grounds to be found in Canada.
