Fred Plowis, who drives the Epping mail, did the ttip, fifceeo miles, on foot Monday, earrying tha bap over his shoulder, and arriving at Flesherloii be- tween 12 and 1 o'c'ock p. m. Tuesday be â- did tho return journey by the same means of locomotion. It -was imposfiible to put a horse on tho road over the northern part of his route. This rather breaks the record for long-distance foot action in thislucality; The average newspaper is in Ice with the individual who when he in Ihe sole possessor of information which should be given publicity carefully witholds it from the editor, and then spends half a day yapping round town tliat "the papor is no (!ood and never has any news in it." Rev. Ivison Wilson gave an intcrest'na talk to the members of the Epworth League on Monday evening, his subject being "Tho Story of the Stars " Ofoourso this subject is a big one and the spe&ker only cuvere<l a small portion of ground' dealing with our own firmanent and a few <>f tho coustella'inns. HLs talk was high- ly ins' ructi re and entertaining to those preMnt.

Mr. Sam Irwin of this place sold a span of general purpose horses to Mr. Albert Hanley of the 10th con. on Monday, the price being 9306 â€" a good figure. Our local Nimruda, Messrs. M. and A. Wilson and J. Wright, captured ten foxai and one coon on Monday. This tally is correct. Ask any of the gentlemen themselves if you don't believe ic. Mr. H. A. Willet has made a remark- able change in the Douglas drug store daring tho past few weeks. It is now thoroughly modernized. Paintiag, paper' hanging and carpeutoring have placed it beyond recognition as the old Medical Hall. New bottles, new stock, new prices, new everything make it a pleasure to deal in this store. Mr. Willet is making a strong bid for public patronage. Mrs. Brown, an elderly woman, of Caledon, who has been visiting some tnonchs with relatives here, died of pneumonia at the residence of " Uncle" Sandy Stewart in town on Monday, after a short illness. The remains were taken to Caledon on the Tuesday morning train. Deceased was 74 years of age and was a cousin of the gea'leman at whose resi- dence she passed away, and also of "Uncle" Sandy Stewart, l^st fall, or rather in the early winter, Mr. D. McTavish lost a valuable gold watch, which was hidden well away by the continued snowstorms. When the tbaw arrived last week a sharp search was made between the shop and residence. It remained, however, for Mrs. McTavish to discover the missing timepiece in the stable yard. It is stated that a reward was out for its recovery and, although Mrs. McTavish i* a member of the 6rm,she will press for payment of tho rewaid. If it is discovered some of these days that she is wearing a new gold watch of her own the public will know where it come from. During the past few weeks we have had several complaints of non receipt of The Advance from subscribers in tho North- west and western States. Perhaps if they had thoroughly understood the conditions of the nisil service id Ontario for the last four or five weeks tho publisher would not have como in for so much blame. The Advance has come out on time every week this winter, with Ihe exception of one week, when it was two days late. It is posted at this officp every Wednesday to all subscribers. But tho mail service hae been so cmipietuly demoralized that papers have been held up on the road unt 1 two and three weeks' issues have accumulated. Subscribers at a distance will thus understand where to place the delay. This paper is not alone. Every newspaper in the country has suffered in a like manner. Howover,now that trains are running satisfactorily and spring is near, subscribers should once more be receiving their papers regularly. Any who do not get their papers regularly from (his on will coiifur a favor by dropping us a card. We will temail lost papers and in- vite tho attention of the department to any irregularity in delivery, if we are informed of the facts. The services of Miss Buohan, organist of the First Methodist church,. Oweo Sound, have been secured for the choir concert in the Methodist church, Flesh- •rton, on Friday night next (Good Fri- day).
