To the Grand Trunk Railway Com- pany through their superintendent, Mr. V W. R. Tiin, is due the gratitude of Barrie for important improvements in the station premises. Although the recent re caused serious nancial loss to the company and several private in- dividuals, it has certainly resulted in changes that will he oi material ad- vantage to the town. Tourists and other passengers must note`,_favorably the present handsome and modern station with adjoining platforms, walks, lawns, etc., but probably do not look with so much pleasure on the unim- proved background. The T` `drinking fountain, which by the way is these days thirsting for paint, should be re- moved to the outer edge of the side- walk. A ,few loads of gravel would then be of service in raising the un- used space about the post oice prepar-_ atory to sodding it and` laying out .a few flower beds.` There would still be enough ground tor a large and `well gravelled semi-circular driveway ` from Dunlop street to 4 the station. These suggested improvements are well worth looking into. . T` ` V H. l.fraser & Bu. PRINTS oia St a n a. ` L -V - continued at still further reduced prices.

Quick hand- - ling, a central place for -storing and shipping, easy `loading and unloading, less waste, less risk from re, smaller expense in handling and greater prots are a few of the many advantages that ` . attach to the mcdern grain elevator. Many a farmer would willingly take half a cent per bushel less and be able to unload at an. elevator. In many `cases these buildings are erected by joint stock companies who lease the property to grain buyers. As grain markets are numerous buyers who would hold the trade must be up_-to- date in conveniences for unloading and weighing. l The unprecedented success '_ of last year s Central Simcoe Exhibition was an excellent advertisement for the fair to be held on 28th, 29th and 30th of this month. The thousands of people who attended last year were thoroughly satised with the many features of the exhibition" and are anxiously awaiting this year's event when they expect to meet with similar satisfaction. The many members of the directorate are working hard to meet the expectations of the most sanguine visitor. V imenagenient have all the busi-i neas they canettend to in arranging the innumerable details connected with no large an exhibition and if they get through with that responsibility satin-. taotorily they will have done their whole duty, ' The Toronto exhibition at a hand again. In previous yearea great deal of money from Barrie and vicinity has been left in the city with deparmental fringe, in exchange for "goods which could havebeen bought from `our own merchants at prices in most cases lower than was paid to the Toronto merchant. Every dollar you put into circulation in yourown town is of some benet to your fellow-citizens as well as yourself ; but none of the dollar you spend in Toronto to enrich the coffers of depart- mental etore millionairea ever seen Barrie" in return. i ' The residents of the town and vicin- ity have an important work to perform preparatory to the exhibition,.and that is talking up.` the fair. It is a duty which all are expected to accept and govern themselves accordingly. Ad- vertiaeethe fair by talking about it to your` friends; everything will be new, Pereevere in interesting them in the great agricultural `interests -of the country as centred in the eihibition to be heldin. Barrie. ` Every person should take enthusiastic interest in a display of the products of the farm, the 'gar_d_en,e the dairy, the _factory;-the foundry, the sewing 'room,.:etc. ` - Inn -xagun If you spend your money in Toronto who will spend money in Barrie, and if no person spends his money here where will you get any to spend in Toronto? Don t be selsh. Barrie merchants consider the interests of their custo- mers, but _what do'Toronto merchants care about you`? People who return. from Toronto laden with parcels are put down as enemies of the town. Spend your money in Barrie and its circula- tion here will materially assist the wel- fare of the town.

The people here will be sorry to less so kind and affec- tionate neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Fish- er have been active and zealous church workers ever since they came to this place. I am sure the young people will always remember Mrs.- Fisher with gratitude for the painstaking and effect- ual manner in which she trained and prepared them for church, and Sunday school entertainments. The Methodist church here was repaired and beautied last summer andis now one of the most beautiful country churches.
