 ii; tf If m !( f 'U M UliM P^ The Standard. MAKKDALE JULY. 10. 1884, Egypt. The egitabion for the formal an- nexation of Egypt to England is be- coming more definite and popular in tlie mother land.' Some of the prominent politicians have been of late speaking earnestly in it«» behalf. It would cfirtamly be a grert blessing to the land of Egypt to havo a stable .and hon«8t government. It would also be in the interest of the commerce of the world. Egjrpt, because of its â-  ereographical position, and because of its agricultural resonrees, is of a good deal of importance to the world • of commerce â€" -of bo much importaflce that tbe gteat commercial nations cannot well afford to allow it %o con- tinue under anarchy and dissection as it BO long has underwits present system. The Suez canal is of far .grater io:portance to other countries than to Egypt, and its safety must not be imperilled. England may not desire to intermeddle in the internal affairs of that ancient land, but the interests of England, and of the rest of the civilized world, are so intimate- ly identified with the great canal that it cannot afford to stand by and see anarchy rampant there. England cannot afford to go on, year after year, putting down the internal rebellious ' against the week government of Egypt. It looks now as though nothing but grasping permanent possession with a firm hand will prove a true solution of Egyptian difficulty. Street Improvement. Statute labor for this season is about completed in this village, and tbe trustees have decided on a rate to belevied to meet the expenses and pay for street and sidewalk improvements for the season, and the question natur- ally arises in the mind of village rate- jiayers why should we pay our re- gular rate f»r municipal purposes.road appropriatioub c. c., and llieu have a specjal rate imposed for the mantam- ance of our public streets, why not have our just proportion returned from the treasury of the municipali- ties into which it is paid, to meet our ro.id improvement expense instead of having to pay it twice And again we â- ask â- ? "Why Well, perhaps the ques- tion will cot be such a hard one to iinswer.did we ever ask for any return fjr such purposes? The good book says "Ask and ye shall receive." Now we would advise the ratepayers to ask. It is certainly a reasonable request. The village of Markdale pays into Glenelg treasury t^bout one eighth of the entire taxes of the township in- dependent of that portion of wl.at comprises Ward No. 3, (Matkdale Ward,) and what return has, she ever received Markdlae is justly entitled to a grant of at least from $50 |;o $100 a year tor the past ten years indepen- dent of what other portions of the ward has received, ^d yet she has never leceived the first dollar, then we would say by all means petition the council for a grant and if they will not do the square thiugi then there is another course open. We do not how ever anticipate ».ny serious opposition from tlie present councils, they are composed of intelligent men who will â- v^ have no duubt,act couscientious in matter. Town Hall. We can see no reason why two or three, or more, might not form them- selves into a joint stock company, and erect a town hall in this place, and make it a good investment. We un- derstand Mrs. Butledge, of (he Mark- dale House has offered a site free, while two other citizens has volunter ed to put $800 into such a company, now if the piojecf. was taken hold of in a business like manner, we might have a substantial town hall before the tJUtiw flies, which would be a great convenience as well as a cripdit to tbe place Who will take the lead.

They have not yet decided on the site. Another vote is expected on the question. Mr. Clark, tailor, intends building a fine brick with two shops and dwel-' ling in couneotion. Mrs, T.

ASIiE^P IN JESUS, Mrs. B. J. Sproule, wife of R. J. Sproule, Esq., of this village, depart- ed this life after a lingering illness of several months, on Wednesday, July 2nd. Deceased bore herpainful illness with calm christian fortitude, resting only upon the loving heart and strong arm of Jesus, believing for her to live was Christ, to die was gain. Her last words were come Jesus come. She was for many years a consistent and active member of the Methodist church, her daily walk and lite throughout was quiet in keeping with her 'profession iher many kind acts and; sympathizing words will not le soon for- gotten. ,0n Friday afternoon her remains were followed by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, and interred in the Flesherton cemetery. The deceased's Sabbath School class of little girls who were much attached ' to her, marched in two's in procession after the mourneis each carrying a boquet of ilowers,and after the coffin had been lowered, passed round the open grave and each dropped in their flowers upon the coffin lid. On Sabbath evening Rev. Mr. Mc- Dowell preached an earnest and touch- ing funeral sermon from the words, "Be thou truthful until death and I Avill. give thee a orown of life."
