Hiid the 147ili r>.itt. at Nia;;ai'a last week when the victory ciune to the Greys. The entchirfor tlu' winnini; le.im was Preston. Preston was a ci od catcher with the tiniii hero and went away highly jreconimundej. It i.s told us on good authority thiit â- before the 147th left Owen Sound the haoillersbf mariiage licenses ran com- pletely out of the five dollar docu- ments, so great was the demand for them. We presume the niinist(^rs of the town also reaped a whirlwind harvest from the brave boys in khaki. We also hope the latter will bo able to deftnd theinselvis against the Germans better than they have ajtainst the fair se.x. An ex'rvmely severe eUctrio storm pasfed over this section Saturday morn- ing last. The fctoriii was a costly one for the county. Owen Soaiid hid a S7r^,000 fire as a consequence, and a number if barns throunhout the couiity were struck aiul hurtle 1. The only damage here wa-i putting out of bu.'-iiiess sever.d of the street lights. At the power house the opeiators had a tletce time while the st'u-m rng?d. One of the metre) was smashed, glass Hying all over. It was literally a hair-raising for the man in charg.-.

Mrs. Nett' of Singhampton, i$ visiting her bister, Mra. Buhner. Miss Wilda Crossley of Toronto visited her parents here last week. Spring Hill Red Cross Society last week sent ?I5 to the Serbians and the follijwing articles to the Red Cro^s / 5^ doz. handkerchiefs, 30 pair of .sock.', 2 hospital shir's, 58 surgical towels and 80 bandages. Two auto loads of Fleshertonians drove over to Walkerton ou the 24th to inspect the Bruce battalion, which was on exhi- bition there that day. The visitor? say Bruce has a stalwart bunch of men. fro-n which great things should be expected. Lieut.-Col. Bickford ( f Niagara Camp says : The ll'.tJi, from Sault Ste. Maiie and Manitiiulin lelaiids, aud the 147th, from :rey County, are as tine battailous as Canada has produced." This praise will make the hoys themselves, and their friends, teel glad. An administrator's sale of a iiuantiiy of good live stock, tarm and household implements, will be held on lot 21, con. 8, Osprey, on Fiiday, June !», the prop- erty of the late Margaret Bows. This is a good bunch, for which see bills â€" Wm. Thompson, administrator ; Wm. Kaitting, auctioneer. X fe* weeks agii, we announcj that Mr. Pinder of PmdentEngland, Miik- dale, had purchased the bakery hern. It appears that it was both gentlemen who bought here and the firm name remaiis the same, with Mr. Pinder runniug the business here and Mr. F.nglaud the Markdale end. Mr. Pinder is doing a gooi business here and giving the best of satisfaction. j The Advance man, with some Owen Sound friends, paid his first visit to the | |)ower house in the valley on Friday last, and w;:s courteously showti over the premises by Mr. Fred Graham, who was 'n charge. Mr. Graham carefully ex- plained the working of the numerous instruments and michines. We couldn't understand it .all, but there was one point in the outfit that h« mide perfictly p'aii). This is the "suicide cable,', carrying 40IIIJ volts- a current so power, ful that it you put your hiiger within two inches of it the curriinl wculd jump ! across the intervening sp.ioe -ind the ex- i pcrinientcr would be no more- Fur and ! expeditious taking off that would heat Niagara, rope or gun. The t!>ing is well guirded, h-jwever, and th ne are not likely to be any victims. We did not, attempt ti ver.fy tlio state- meiit. We arj always willma to take such things for gr-infed and let the othtr f. llow do tiie e.vperiinen'ing. A couple of au'.i) loads of j y lidcrs, said to bo from Mimiit Forest, pas^id through here on Sunday for Kutf. nia and returned the same evciiiuL'. The bunch was made up of youngsters uiiJer twenty years of age~an eipial numl'er < f boys and girls. As they approached the town on the return journey one of tie diivcis ran his machine over the eiulMiik- ment at the sandhill east of the sii.k hole. Just then UtV. Mr. McD.mald. the Baptist minister^ attempted lopais the oullit when his horse bucaina fiighc- eued at the hullabalno kioked up by the Bushwhackers and bolted. Ills bnguy wa.s badly .smashed. The misguided young men, who were alleged to be under under the inHuencu of liiiuor. mana^'ed to get their car ri^httd with the helo of horses anu a logging chain aud boys and girls wont on their way rejoicing. The patty thou got a'ong all right until they came to the Glenn, between Piice- ville and Durham. This was a nice stretch of road for speeding, ail J those who watched them pa.ss said they must have been travelling at about eighty miles an hour. The auto slewid from side to side and finally struck » tele- phone pole. One man was thrown clear over into a field and badly hurt. An- other had his arm badly broken, shoulder dislocated and back injured. The girls, while all \vero severely shaken up.appear to have got oft comparatively safe, k telephone message to Diuh .in brought a car to take the injured in. One (f the victims was uncoosc'ous for some time. The woi^der is there wore not some sudden deaths as a result of this Occident. .-\s the party went through town Sunday evening we remarked to a ciiizm that we did not think they would get safely homo that nii-ht, and the prophesy came true, lies w.-.s the name of the m.in most seriously iiiju:cd. There were two soldiers in the pirty hut I'ley occ'-pied the car which c.mn safely through. Mrs. John Wright and Miss Zella ; Benthain are delegates to the Branch Meeting ot the W. M.

All towns appear to have their .share ( f that undesirable element of both sexes who seem to think .Sunday joy riding is the desirable thing The practice is be- coming a menace to ouc civilization and ought to be frowned down by all right thinking citizens.
