 If; u M 1 J 1 .*E " (jrui^^lit J^j(4i(t^wt« BtLtledge, ^ropzielior. MABKDAIiE, SEPT. 1. BEVEN YEABS OLD. Seven years ago'ihis mdiitli we left the baryest field and entered the jonmalistio haxi^. Qnr sea has not always been withoat a ripple, yet we have no reascm to complain. The world: as well as the people have been fairly good to 08. and we have always been tolerably good to our- selves, 80 Uiat to complain would be, not only unwise and unpalatable, but very ungrateful. If experience is worth anything, seven years at the helm of a country newspaper should add materially to our stock of thai commodity; on the other hand, it is said, "if a man is a crank, the older he grows the more cranky ho becomes" so that there is a danger of putting ones experience to a b^ purpose: however, the number of Stondard subscribers is at high- water mark, and this ii^ the best evidence, we can have that the paper is being conducted on right principles. We have abundant reason for thank- fulness to our numerous patrons for liberal, support in the past,^ and only* trust our future business and social relations may continue equally har- monious. • OUR FAJLL SHOW. Two weeks from next Tuesday and Wednesday will be Glenelg Fall Exhibition, and it remains .largely with Our citizens and the members of the society whether it will be a success or not. If there is a general interest taken in the welfare of the society together with a little enterprise, there is no reason why we should not have by far the best E^ibition yet held. It has made steady advancement from year to year, and yet there is room for improvement. Jjet every member bring along a â- large exhibit so that the competition will be keen and the display large. We have often heard persons By after visiting an exhibition, "I have each and such an article that is ahead of anything there,' then bring along your stock, manufactures, fancy work, vegetables, roots, gram, in fact any- thing and every tbing. and thus show interest in the success of our local Show. DATES FOR FAl.T. FAIRS. We have noticed repeatedly that the officers ol various Agricultural Societies have difficulty in fixing the date upon which t^ hold their annual Show, so as not to clash with some neighboring exhibition. The durec- tors of two or more societies may have a meetmg at their different centres at the same time to truisact bimilar Business, oiie of the chief questions bdng to fix the date for the Sho,w.

" â€"The Directors of the Central Ex- perimental Farm in Ontario baveap* parently succeeded in disooveriQg a Russian wheat of the best quality, which is perfectly suited to the soil and climate of the North- West, and which ripens from ten days to two weeks earlier than the Fife. The Fife wheat was itself, in the first mstance, a Russian wheat, and it is to Rhssia ire should look for all changes of seed, as it is the only country where agri- culture is carried on successfully in a colder oUmate than our own. â€"The results of prohibition in At- lanta, the capital of Georgia, are thus summarized. The hundred and thkty open bar-rooms have been abtdished. The city, which used to get the licen* sed money, has not lost but gained, the assessment having increased two million 'dollars aver last year, and the expenditure for pubhc schools and pubhc :improvement8 has largely in- creased. Her manufactures and her commerce have taken a bound. Poor families who could not before make both ends meet, are now comfortable, and men who before went idle arei now working. â€" ^Up to the end of July there had been exported from Canada cheese of this season's make to the yalue of $2,697,000, an increase over the ex- pdlttation for the same period of 1886 of $1,158,000, of 1885 of $797,000, of 1884 of $899,000. of 1888 of $871,- 000. and of 1882 o4l,] 28,000. The export ttis year, as a matter of quantity, is notso exceptionally large, but the price is remarkably high. Of itself the million dollars in excess of last year, which the Canadian farmers have obtained for three montlis of their make of cheese, will do much to make the country prosperous. The high price which now rules for butter as well as for cheese will make this a very profitable season for dairy farmers in spite of the drouth' and if it en- courages both cheese and butter makers to improve their produce it will have a lasting mflnence for good on the country. in skwiMMl owing la-^^fiM^ tba^^ CLIPPINGS.
