MAKKOAI^C DBSIBABB PIACE FOB «^^-'??:- Aocordiog as ihe country increases in age, tlie mmiber of farmers and others who will retire from active life â- will multiply, and while it is right and proper to retire frpm Ihe care of busi- ness and fatigue of hard labor, after devoting the prime ot life in diligent toil and habits of economy so that a competency is provided for more ad- vanced years. It is also yery impor- tant, in retiring, to select a healthy, cheerful locality, combined with social and other advantages. Markdale is looked to already by a. number of the above class as a desirable place of residence, some of whom have parch ased park lots and are preparing to build, while many others, some from a distance, haye tius town in view as their home. The place is destined, in the near future to be a very handsome town. We know of no place of its size as well supplied with maple trees which are in themselves a great im ;provement to the appearance of. a place. The situation is Hgh and rol- ling, and supplied with an abundance of the best of spring water, makmg it remarkably healthy. Its schools are efficifently conducted, the various churches well attended and liberally Bupported, while they exist in peace and harmony â- with each other, the merchants and business men are enter' X^rising and progressive and the so- cieties healthy and vigorous, being also productiye of material jnutnal benefits. The inhabitants comprise the various nationalities which make an industrious, intelligent, social and progressive community, while the surrounding country is a beautiful agricultural district, thickly settled with industrious, intelligent and pros- perous agriculturists. and boeks^ Tram now yow i^**** com and wboat, *«». f$^*^ fliMfiwrftoiDi you; tod be and defile not yourselwp "any pore, and I wiU Wess you and wise my face to shine «a y«."

And it came to pass in the course of time^ that the sons of men looked upon it and thought it was beautiful to look upon, and mucb to be desired to make lads look big and manly. So they put forth their hands and did chew thereof. And some it ' aiade sick, and others to vomit most Pithily. And it further came to pass that they who chewed it became weak and unmflbly, and said we are en- slaved and can't cease from chewmg it. And the mouths of all that were enslaved bcgwae foul, and they were seized witlf violent spitting, and did spit, even in ladies' parlors and in the house of the Lord of Hosts. And the saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby. And in the course A. time it came also to pass that others snuffed it, and tliey were taken sud- denly with fits, and they did sneeze â- vith a great and mighty sneeze, in- somuch that thcdr eyes filled with tears and they did look exceedingly ailiy. And yet others cunningly wrought the teavea thereof into rolls, and did set fire to the one end tii6reof,and did suek vehemently at tiie other end and did look very grave aod calf-lilEe, and the £moke of .their torBat«nt ascMided up forever and ever.
