On the 12th inst., James WiUiam, sou of Eev. A. Wilson, passed away at the •age of 8 years. Deceased was strong vigoroQS and very promising boy. He recently recovered a severe attack of inflammation of the boweh, but had a relapse, which hastened him to a premature grave. Then Lottie Manb, a girl of 15 summers, amiable and forbearing in her disposition, and a favorite of all who knew her, was called to her re- ward on the morning of the 17th. Lottie has been u poor health for some time but nothing serious was anticipated until a few days before her demise. She was the eldest of the family and upon her rested, in a great measure, the care of her mother, who has been an invalid for several months and whose recover}' is very doubtful. Then on Friday last we were sur- prised to learn of the sudden and serious illness of another citizen of more mature years, Mr. Michael Sul- livan, who was stricken down with inflammation of the lungs, and died on Monday morning, aged 45 years. Deceased has been for some 83 years a respected and well-to-do farmer in Artemesia, hut the last four years has resided m Markdale. He leaves a wife and three children with a large circle of friends to mourn his prema- ture death. We extend to the be-, reaved, in each case, our condolence. MAEKDALE SPRING SHOW. This show promises to develop into a permanent annual affair, and for the satisfaction of those concerned we give below a synopsis of the financial standing. The show was gotten up by private individuals at their own expense, and we trust the enterprise will have the support of our businesB men generally in years to come. BECEIPTS.

His remains are to be brought here and interred in the- milv buying plot, Heaherton oemstey. on Wed- nesday, the 33rd. Eztenstre preparations and CMistant prae-, tice still goes on here in preparation for the rendering of "Queen Esther Oratorio" on Dominion Day evening here. The drillshed is now platformed for the performers, and the large company are practicing there every night this week. Magnificent costumes have been secured in Toronto for the occasion. The Presbyterian congregation of t^ place purpose holding their church anniyersaiy services (D.V.) on Sabbath next. The Eev. Mr. Colter, of Meaford, will preach in the morning at 10:30 and in the evening at 6:30. On the Monday evening following, the an- nual festival will be held, we uadarstand. Several prominent ministers will be present to speak on that occasion. a3ie Eev. Mr. Mclntyre. of Berkeley, preached a very practical and interesting sermon in the Presbyterian church here Sab- bath afternoon last. The genial editor of the Advance returned on Saturday last from his holiday tour as pleasant, happy and if anything better look- ing than ever. The Dinwoody Bros., of Stayner, are spend- ing a few holidays with their parents and friends in this locality.

(F'ojn our correspondent.) It is really too bad that our village is not any bettt^r represented in your valued paper, so I give you a few items. Mr. Cyrus M. Field, who is now in Mr. B. J. Sproule's establishment, Flesberton, was out here on a visit over last Sunday. His sister, Mrs. Wright, of Eleinburg, is now on a visit to her parents and friends. Last Wednesday the bam of Thomas Gamey. Esq.. was raised. There were over one hundred present, and things were lively for a while. I understand that the Presbyterians of Maxwell, Feversham and Mclntyre intend having a picnic on Dominion Day, but the place of mooting is not yet determined. The Sons of Temperance, I believe, will also have a picnic at Heron's Mill on the same day. No doubt a pleasant time will be spent at each, and all friends will be weleome. A number of Flesherton's young men are spending a short time camping out at Heron's Mill. We suppose they use ^eir fishline for trout, and their firearms to kill the mosqui- toes. Don't know what else they can ex- terminate. According to last draft of stations of the Toronto Methodist Conference, we see Eev. S. A. Arkels is to be removed from this field of labor. Mr. Arkels has been here for only a year, and is universally well liked. From what I can hear his removal was altogether uncalled for, and the ehurch authoiities here will do their utmost to prevent it. Mr. Arkels is now on a yisit to his father and mother in Belleyille, Mbstob. Notice. â€" ^We wish it distinctly understood that we do not hold ourselves responsibJe for thtiopiniens expressed by our correspondents Tu the Editor of the Standard. Deae Sib, â€" I have to ask for a spaee in your valuable paper to show your readers that there is a tnistake about me putting a fence across 50 sideroad. I placed a fence across a disputed deviation, and I also deny of them taking proceedings at my expense, I am inclined to think that it is at the ratepayers expense like all others mis- takes. I notified the Holland Council that if they had a proper title, to come and stake out the deviation and I would build my fence in the proper place at once. 1 don't think they have either plan or specifictriouv they cannot how- ever be found recorded, and I hope this will end my writing in the matter, if. not, I shall be very apt to jog i^eir memory, "â-  • ^i- Makshaix.

We emphatically and unhesitatingly declare that we thankonr friends the ladies for this, and we are proud and pleased to learn from them in so decided and practical a way thaf\l^e lie^ving them satis- faction in the floor they get from us. We say we give the ladies the credit! Why? Because seldom a day passes but some new customer tells us the woman sent him. or some old one that he has mills near hand, but the woman won't hear of him going anywhere else now. We were satisfied at the outset that if we could do anything that would improve the quality of the flonr used in this country, and so relieve our women from part of the toil and worry baking, or even if we could not lighten the work, but conld only giro them a flour that would be sure, after then: work with it, to always make good bread, that we wonld not only earn but receive the hearty thanks and earnest support of every woman in the county, and that very few men would get much rest or satisfaction until they had been at our mill or got some of our flour. We are glad to know that the great expense of building and furnishing latest and most approved roller process machinery has been crowned with, success, and that we make a flour that not only always makes good bread, but what pleases us fully as much is. that it alsoUghtens the womans house work, for it dont require half the kneading or attention of the old btyle flour. Any one who comes to our mill and see tht eftwd there eyery day wd iha4uli9ant of work we have to do cw^jipdge for himsolf that our confidi«nee in the gratitude of the woman of iQiis county was not mis- pleased; abd we may say. at once that they Hayeressonded far beyond, our most sanguine expectations, and to such an extent that we fear wo will yet have to enlarge onr grinding capacity. In return we have to assure you, ladies, that we mil continue to do our very best to please you and give yon the best article of flonr that can be made. We wiU spare no ex- pense to keep onr mill to the front rank, judge by the quantity of its work, and we want you to know the feeUng that we appreciate your hearty and unanimous response to the effort we make to lighten your home work and relieve you from the worry and an- nounce of ever having in' your house that article most productive of grow- lings ahd grumblmgs in men â€" bad bread. While we are so crowded with work that we can't give all the attention to customers we would Hke we trust no one will feel alighted, but bear with ns under present circumstances, and if any miatake occurs kmdly let ns know at onc», 80 bhat we maw rectify it.
