 t I ril m \^ â-  %^"M 'KIP' S-- If 9Sa! C. W., Rutledge, Proprietor. MARKDALE, DEC. 8 1887. TOWN OF MAEKDALE. A meeting of Markaale citizens was held on Friday eveaing last at the caU of the Police Trustees to consider the question of Incorporation, The at- tendance of the representative men was good and a lively interest taken in th« project. The meeting was nn- animously in favor of Incorporation, but a difference of opinion wa. express ed as to whether Incorporation as a town by special Act, or as a village, through the County Council, would be the most advisable. The question was freely discussed and a vote taken resulting m an almost unanimous de- cision in favor of raising the place to tlie status of a town by special Act of Parliament, and a committee appoint- ed to attend to details. A notice will soon appear in the OfficialjGazetto to the effect that an Act will be ai^plied for at the next session of the Ontario Parliament for above purpose. building on lot and erecting a large addition and when complete it will be the largest store in the township. A petition is being largely signed for the purpose ef getting a Division Court. We only hope it wiU succeed as it is a felt want. Mr. Thos. McAfee, jr., has his eye open for grass seed.

I' PUBCHftSE YOUR WINTER) SUPPLIES THAN NOW. Editor Standard. Deae Sik, â€" I noticed in your issue of 24th ult., a complimentary notice of the marriage of Mr. James E. Cunningham to Miss Susan Henry, both of Artemesia. In the Advance of the 1st inst., I also noticed a most scurrilous and abusively insulting letter "From a Henry," in which he abuses you as only a Canal street tough or a Billingsgate fishwife could do, for the publication of said comphmentary notice of said marriage. Were it not for the fact Jthat a regular form of marriage notice appears in your other columns, in which Rev. Geo Buggia is credited with having perform- ed the ceremony, one would be led to believe by the letter of the wiseacre in the Advance that the couple were not married at all, and we doubt very much if the Cuuiiingham family, (who are very respectable people) will feel much elated at the attempt made by A Henry to cast suspicion on the whole affair by endeavoring to convey the im- pression that the couple are not wedded to each other, but simply enjoying each others company, so to speak. It would seem that a Henry would haye people believe that they are not of the marrying sort, but in spite of his efforts we can- not believe this, as we have the testi- mony of the minister and other respect- able people to the contrary. For shame sake at his attempt to forever stain the fair name of the worthy young couple, (which happily he cannot do in this vicinity) a Heney should seek the calm repose which can be fo md at the bottom of a niiilpond, an.i not rislc himself too lo!i' Oil eartli's surface else an inflamed populace r.iay Konie time spring a sapling %yitli a fool and a hlackgnard at one end as a wariiir.i,' to othc.rf vrlio would en- ccni-agc the seut'inents atter.:!pted to bo ta;;i;ht in his letter in tiic Advance eif Doc. 1st.
