The road grading is being rapidly pushed ahead. and the mak- ing of cement building blocks for the construction of the works is going on nicely. About 12?) men are now at work and many more can find employ- rnent. Mr. Walker and his gang are busy every day with the stone crush- er. and a big heap of crushed mater- ial is the result of their labor. No time will now be lost till the mill begins to burn which will be as soon as possible. Everything is all right and there isn’t a citizen or visitor but [eels pleased at the busineaa~like appearance the town is now able to assume.

We here no hesitation in giving it ee MANY citizens and others during the past week have witnessed the manufacture of cement blocks, for building purposes. So far we have only heard one opinion. as every one seems to think there is no better building material in existence. We see no reason, why a house properly constructed of these blocks, on a proper foundation should not last for s thousand years. and be in first-class condition at the end 0! that time. Some say it would lust lot-ever, but we’ll not go so far as that. A REPURT from Owen Sound says: “ Two of the vicrims of the Islander which was wrecked a fort- night ago on a voyage from the Klondike were young men of the County of Bruce.

The biggest of the four plays nine-pins with the skill of a professional, and his part- ner marks on a slate the number of pins bowled over, while atth one sets up the pins for another bowl, they also do a number of very diffi- cult balancing and gymnastic tricks. but the most sensational feat of all is the riding of a tricycle by the baby elephant. All the proSpects point to the Western Fair at London this year being the most successful ever held, it being the intention of the Direc- tors to make the initial show of the century something to be proud of and to be remembered. All the de- partments are filling fast and in many cases it is evident the only complaint will be lack of Space. The Directors are full of resources. how. ever, and it may be taken for grant-ed that everything on the grounds will be given a good show. THE Inclustaial Exhibition is in full swing this week and next and thousands of people will visit the Queen City to see our country’s pro- ducts.

A select crowd was assembled in McKechnies’ store one evening last week. There was Bill Wright and Sandy Hopkins. and Gilbert McKech- |nie and the editor of this paper, and 9a few other notables. By and by they began blowing about what they could do when they were younger. Gilbert. didn’t boast much about how well he could cradle, but all the other fellows did, and they were get- ting up to a pretty good day’s work in talk, when Bill Wright chipped in again to say that Tom Farr was one of the finest cradlers he ever saw swing a blade. and how he could cut five acres a day and not work more than ten hours. Since then we saw Mr. Farr. and had the statement con- firmed by the Rev Gentleman him self that five acres was his usual day’s work, and that he didn’t believe working into the night to get a day’s work done. To our mind he takes a very sensible view of things when he says that a person who works too long one day isn’t fit for a good day’s work the next. His record of five acres a day isn’t going to spoil h‘s ministerial work a particle, but as far as we can learn he is not much in love with cradles you have to swing. Mrs. A. D. Prior, accompanied by her little daughter Olive. has gone to the Queen City to spend Exhibition time with friends there, Mr. Ireland has a local in about some watches he’s bound to get rid of. He says he wants to test the advertising value of this paper. Call and see them. but don’t all go at once. It pays to advertise in THE CHRONICLE. It’s singular but it’s so, and we don’t like it either. There are some people so mean while they live that they’ll never take a paper, nor put five cents on the collection plate on Sunday. And yet when they die the minister will preach them into Heaven and the editor will boost _--~v The Editor and Publisher'gets off this :â€"“ Why is a vill'age newspaper like a. woman? Because every man should have one of his own and not be running after his neighbors." It must. be refreshing to the cem~ ent experts to get so much free ad- vice about the making of building blocks. If we were one of them we’d feel like carrying a gun. The new house Ed. Kress is build- ing on the Hillside seems a little large for a single man. Perhaps he intends to keep boarders. If you want. sickly, runts of young ones keep them at school all summer, holidays and all. It isn’t the clothes 9. man wears but the getting of his pay that worries the tailor. It’s not hard to get stufl to ”fill up ” a. paper. The greatest difliculty gs to get enough to fill the editor. Mr. George Noble, of Vickers, who recovered only a few weeks ago from a. serious illness, is again on the sick list and' causing his iriends much anxiety.
