Price in Canada ^2.0U per year, when paid in advance $1.60; in U. S. A. 12.50 per year, when paid in advance $2.00. F. J. THURSTON, Editor Alli.ston hi^h school buurd has had the same ditTicultie.s a.s Klesherton in pi-ovidinK accomodation for the shop work and domi-.stic science on the cur- riculum of hitch schools, and like the Fltsherton board, decided not tu i;o ahead with the needed alterations at the piesent time. The retrulations governing the teaching of the above two subjects do not seem to be com- pulsory if the boards have to erect an addition to the school or if the ac- commdation for the teaching is not adequate. • • • Conservatives are meeting in To- ronto this week to select a candidate to load them to victory at the next Provincial general election. Several well known politicians are in the field for the honors, most of the attention being centred around candidature of Col. George Drew, who is not in favor in the ranks of Toryism around To- ronto. This week will see if the Col. will have the necessary weight in the rural sections to bring him out on top. In the Federal field in South-Grey amid Liberal circles comes informa- tion that Mr. Walter Harris, Mark- dale, will be the one to carry the ban- ner against Miss Macphail, present member, and the Conservative choice. Mr. Harris was runner-up to Dr. Hall of Walkerton at the last nomination meeting for a Liberal candidate, but at that time many thought that as Dr. Hall was then the sitting member for Bruce, which was included with South Grey, that he should be the Liberal candidate. Mr. Harris is a young man of promise and should make a good run for the honor of representing Grey-Bruce in the Dom- inion House if he receives the nom- ination. EUGENIA take m the item re Bert Magee. It should have read "will soon be able to be up and around." Mr. Magee hud the cast removed from his leg about two weeks ago and we trust he will soon be as well as ever. The teacher and pupils of the pub- lic school are practising for a con- ceit to be given on December 21. .Mr. and Mrs. Nerval Betts and Miss Selena Duckett spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fenwick of Maxwell. .Mr. Silas Haney of Paisley visited recently with his brother, Mr. Uobt.

At the regular meeting of the Y.P.U. Mrs. Annis of Markdale gave a splendid message on the missionary work being done in China. She also exhibited iChinesc articles such as chairs, tables, pagodas, idols and cos- tumes and beautiful embroidery work which had been done by the clever and skilful hands of the Chinese. Fiesberton Stores Filled For Shoppers With the open weather prevailing this fall and at the present time it is hard for the people to realise that Christinas is only a short distance away, in fact there are only 15 buying days until St. Nicholas pays his year- ly visit. The Flesherton business men have their utores decorated with the proper spirit in the keeping of Christ- mas and many of them are quite pretty in appearance. With this issue Flesherton merchants are presenting their special Christmas Buying Num- ber and the citizens of this district are urged to look over the articles in each advertisement and visit the stores with their list of needs for this Christmas. The stores are filled with articles suitable for Christmas and as low as can be got elsewhere with quality in view. This yeai- Flesherton is holding a poultry marketing day in town on Wednesday, December 14th and spec- ial prizes are being given by the local merchants, the details of which ap- pear in their advertisements and in another part of the paper they are conveniently compiled. Farmers are urged to bring their fowl to Flesher- I ton that day as buyers will be here from Toronto and a first class com- "lietitive market will result. December 14th is another notable day in Flesherton when the oflFicial opening of Flesherton's new creamery takes place by Messrs. Rapp and Bor- insky, wel known creamery opei-ators in this district.

Mr. and Mrs. Shiels accompanied them in some of the numbers. The Y.P.U. held an executive meet- ing on Monday evening at the honie of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Porteous with Rev. Mr. Elliott in charge.

The fire occurred aljout nine o'clock when Mr. Smith went to put down feed and hung the lantern on a nail on the wall of the grainery. In some man- ner the lantern flamed up and caught on some loose chaff and straw and in a few moments the entire barn was a seething mass of flames. All the stock was liberated, except the pigs refusing to leave their pen when urged. The loss to Mr. Smith will be tremendous, as it is reported that onlv $1,400 insurance was carried VICTORIA COnNF.R'=' Mrs. Archie McTaggart and sons, Mackie, Jim, Maxwell and Don of Caledon East visited in the neigh- borhood last week.
