Still, he lit on his feet and there were no serious effects. A heavy gust of wind was responsible for upsetting . the ladder. gregational churches as proposed to- day. There was so much of God in the movement that nothing couW prevent it. The Presbyterian church had now cut its bridges behind it, and the bill of union would come before the Dominion Pariament at next ses- sion.

The Creemore Star says : The dec eased was a resident of Maxwell for many years, but as old age overtook him his funds were not sufficient to afford a living and therefore he was taken to the House of Refuge Markdale. On rinding the unknown body Mr Osborne at once made known to thi neighbors and on Monday morning Coroner J. E. Murphy of Stayner wa notified and arrivd on the scene. On i examining the body it was found tha no foul play had caused his death, bu death was due to starvation; althoug j it was hard to tell us the body was mere skeleton. On Monday afternoon the body was brought to the undertaking parlors here and on Tuesday the undertaker from Markdale and the Keeper of the House of Refuge of the same place arrived here and removed the remains o Markdale. The deceased, who had friends at Maxwell, also had friends in Os- prey township, and it was there it is thought he was making his way. THE MEAFORD SHOW Mr. and Mrs. D. McTavish and ye editor and wife attended the Meaford 'all fair on Thursday of last week flint town puts up a very fine fall 'air and the merchants of the town appear to take a keen interest in it by making handsome displays of their goods in suitable booths. Fruit and flowers were there in abundace especially the latter, of which we have never seen a finer display at any country fair. The attendance on Thursday was not large for a town the size of Meaford. There is a fine large hall, good grand stand and race course. The side attractions were very numerous but did not appear to be paying running expenses. Around Meaford there has been no ROCK MILLS Geo.

Elwood Partridge, who has spent the past few months at New eard, arrived home on Saturday. THE LORDLY PLASTERER Chicago, Sept. 24 Lordly plaster- ers, who look down on bank presid- ents, grinding out their lives fr a miserable pittance, stepped a little further into the plutocratic class to- day when they were given a wage scale of $15 a day for eight hours. However, the $15 is merely a starting point. Plasterers are so scarce that contractors gladlwy pay a fat bonus. Nor does the eight hours mean eight hours of labor.

Bellamy's six months' old infant was taken to the hospital in Toronto on Monday night by motor to undergo an operation for bowel trouble. The operation was performed immediattely upon the ar- rival at the hospital Tuesday morning and was successful, although the little one is not yet out of danger. The Dr. pronounced it one of the worst coses he had seen. An Unfortunate Man week, with a couple pieces of silver- ware. Then followed a bevy of ladies, married and single, who took possession of the premises in the , name of the little god Cuoid, and pro- ceeded to perform a mock marriage which created a great deal of amuse- ment. Only females were admitted, therefore our reporter cannot go into details. The whole thing was said to be agonizingly funny and gro- tesque. Mrs. (Dr.) Murray was the officiating clergyman, Miss Reta Bell- amy the bride, and Mrs. Miller the groom, while Mrs. Turnbull acted as groomsman and Miss E. Reynolds bridesmaid, with Miss Aleda Mitchell as flower girl. Before leaving the party presented Miss Gilchrist with a mantel clock and several pieces of al- uminum ware. Luncheon was served.
