The saw will operate either as a cro8«-cut or ripsaw with equal facility and with greater speed than the old style. The now idea is all in the formation of the teeth. Mr. Kaitting had just returned from a trip to Gait, where he made arrangements for the manufacture of his saw by the big saw intnufaotuiiiig Brni of Shirley & Dietrich. We hope the new idea will prove » money-maker for Mr. Kaitting. A meeting wis held last week to reoig.inize the Flesherton Baseball Club. The I'tficers elected for the year were: Provident, J. A.

L. W. Thorn ot Waldemar has accepted a position under Mr. Kelso of of Toronto, in which be will have care of the destitute children in the county of Perth. He will reside in Stratford where there will be a shelter for children. The salary is 8800 a year. Mr. Thorn will preach his farewell serm jn on the last Sunday of June. He has been preaching for almost a quarter of a cen- tury (24 years) and his natural streni^th is not abated. In Mr. Thoni's departure the Presbytery loses a faithful presbyter, the community a go<id citizen and the congregation of Waldemar an efficient and loving minister.- Grand Valley Star. .At the recent Owen Sound N. B. C. contests wo note the following prize-win- ners : Rapid calculation, C. D. McMil- lan, Priceville, first ; best spelling, Alice Nicholson, Flesherton, second ; best letter copying, John A. Cairns, Ceylon, second ; best kept set of book.s. Eugenie Duncan, Feversham, fourth. The prizes, which are presented by the Principal, were more keenly contested this year, on account of the large attendance. The presentations were made by Rev. H. S. Cdkins, Rev. W. H. Chantler, J. C. Miller, secretary-treasurer Harrison & Sons, Limited, and H. H. Burgess LP. S. The horse fair on Saturday could not be set down as an unquahtied success, there being only four animals shown. Of course these were the cream of the class and consisted of Mr. Patton's two clydes, also Mr. Cairns' and Mr. Burnett's cLydos. Of these, three are well known, and the feurth â€" Greys Gartley â€" owned by Mr. Jos. Cairni, was much admired. . He is a pretty animal, very tinely proportioned, in excellent trim, and will, no doubt, prove very popular. Mr. Paton's Merry Mason and Spaurelbank are in tht> pink of condition, as also ia Mr. Burnett's Dunure Mac. These are alt choice animals and there is plenty of room for them. Mr. Cairns, we believe, will travel his new horse over the route travelled last year by his Grownslow Charming. A Flesherton citizen informs The Advance that while in Markdale on Friday last he witnessed a foot race of an exceedingly amusing nature. A laily inmate of the Hou.'e of Refnge took it into her head that " Liberty or death " should be her motto in future, aud accordingly bolted up »nd through the town towards the green Uelds that to her were so enticing. Manager Harness was not in the pink of cnndition for r-juning that morning but necessity knows no law, and he had to get after that woman, which ho proceeded to do at his unual pace of about a mile in fifteen. Going up main atroer he put on a spurt owing to the encourai^ement vouchsafed by hu:idreds of spectator?, and gained si ghtly on the lady, but as they disappeared over the grade towaids the station the woman appeared to ba gaining once more on the perspiring manager. We have ni.t learned the result of the race, but it looked like a draw to our reporter. Later- The run- away was captured, but not by the manager. To Mr. Baines belnnged that honor. The manager is said to have been considerably incapacitated, physic- ally, by his extraordinary exertion. No Oil In It The Kin.berley oil well drillers hit bed rock â€" grinite la.~t week without discover- ing ^uy oil. The contract calls for the sinking of two more wells in that vicinity but thini;s are at a standstill and it is undecided whet her to complete the contract or not. Tho bill for the gradual reduction of liquor licenses throughout the provincn was passed in the Quebec legislature last Wednesday. An eighteen-year-idd girl near Buttle- ford, in spite of her heroic attempts at rescue, witnessed her home, with her father, mother and little brother and sis- ter, all perish in a prairie lire.
