Attention Readers â€" ^Read Benson's adv. this week. It will pay yen to call at the Belfast House for bargains, fresh Groceries, Crockery Glassware, c. Give them a call they will sell you cheaper than any house in town and use you well into the bargain. A chair high enough for one to sit in and use one's arms freely in cooking manipulations is the most sensible yet invented for woman. Neman ever stands to perform any work that he can do in a sitting position. Woman is ever last to accept an easier method. Change of Time. â€" On Monday last the following change took effect in the C. P. R. time table at Markdale station â€" Morning train, going south, 6:55 instead of 6:57 evening train, south, 4:35 in- stead of 4:05 morning train, north, 11:56, same as heretofore eyening train north, 8:56 instead of 9:05. J. W. Speoule, is doing an extensive business in the furniture line, and he well deserves the liberal patronage of the community as he keeps a great yariety of goods in both common and fine lines which would be a credit to more pre- tentious towns, in f af t his stock isremark- able for a country village. The brass band concert this Thurs- day evening in Haskett's Hall promises to be something well worth attending. The boys are making their best efforts not only for their entertainment but from week to week in a likeral supply of music, and are entitled to our sjonpa- thy and support. Serious Accident. â€" Thomas Bradley, of Holland, fell from a building which was being raised on the farm of Mr. Avison on Saturday last, a distance of some twenty feet, receiving serious in- juries. Drs. Halstead, McCullough and Sproule attended him and he is now in a fair way for recoyery. Some means should be adopted to compel owners of cows in our village to keep them off the streets at night. They are liable to congregate during the silent hours and make a raid on the gardens, thus destroying, in a few hours, the work of the season. It is eyident our council are owners of cows or they would have included those bovines in their by-law. Finger Off. â€" On Saturday last while two little boys, sons of Geo. Crow, of this place, were amusing themselyes about a mowing machine in front of one of our implement establishments, the elder turned a wheel to see the kniyes move while the younger, a lad of two years, put his finger in and had it taken off. The garden party in Dr. Spronle's spacions groimds on Wednesday evening next, 18th inst., bids fair to be very largely attended, and we are requested to say that it is verv desirable to come ont earher than is the custom of Mark' dale people on such occasions. It will be pleasant to enjoy games, croquet 3., defore the shades of evening fall, so come early. The band will also be early. Refreshments at 8 o'clock. Admiseion 15 cents. Okanoe Yaixet public school held its annual pioiiic in the school gronnds on Friday last, and it was largely attended by parents and ratepayer-* in the section. The children spent a very enjoyable afteraO(Hi and all were deligbteii with 1^ picnic gfflierally. Dialogaes and I recitations were renderoGl in a very ele- ctable mamuBr aiid the aoiiool showed SBtdoobted indications of good Roreni' «nntby«be to a dmr Ifa. yciaai, and s^bo great aMaelHDent to IfM; Me. J. H. Little, proprietor of the- Owen Sound Advertiser, is to be con- gratulated on the decided improvement in that xaper. Last week it appeared as^a seven column eight page paper, making fifty six columns, and is said to be now the largest weekly in the Dom- inion. Few towns in the proyince, if any, is making such rapid and substan- tial progress and growth as Owen Sound and we compliment Mr. Little in his successful efforts to keep apace with his surroundings. Mes. Rev. David Wileiams, of Walk- erton, paid our village a brief visit last week when on her way, together with her four children, to visit parents and friends in Winnipeg and the north west. The late Rey. D. Wilhams was one of the pioneer preachers of this circuit and his memory is still dear to those who knew him, as also that of his estimable wife. Mrs. W. was very agreeably sur- prised at the growth and prosperity of the place since she resided here some fourteen yealrs ago, and especially with the spacious and handsome new Metho- dist church. Close CALL.^Robert Fawcett, of Eu- phrasia, was driving with horse and buggy on Wednesday, 4th inst., and while crossing the railway between Berkeley and Holland Centre was struck by a passing train. The horse escaped injury the buggy was smashed to atoms and Mr. F. almost killed. He was taken to Dr. Halsted's when it was found that the patient had a rib broken over the heart, was badly bruised about the head and shoulder and otherwise severely shook up. He is, however, improving and will be about shortly. ' FiEE BuG.^-On Sunday morning about four o'clock, our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the call of fire I when it was discovered the little frame building on the corner of Mill and Queen streets was on fire. The building being wood and very dry there was no chance of staying the firey elements, while but a small share of the contents were saved. Mr. Dundas owned the building while J. J. McEinnpn occupied it as a harness shop. The contents were in- sured for $200, but we understand there was no insurance on the shop. It must have been the work of an incendiary. The shop was somewhat isolated so that no further damage was done. We have just received the copy for Glenelg Voters' List for 1888 from J. S. Black, clerk, and it is as usual a model of neatness. Mr. B. is an exceedingly careful, painstaking official. He inform- ed us this week that he had received an exchange copy of voters' list for every municipality in the county, and that the work done at this office, both as to clear, distinct prmt and binding, was second to none m the whole county. We do not mention this fact boastingly but simply to let our patrons know what competent judges have to say of our work. A Sanitary Convention and Meeting of the Executive Association of Health Officers will be held by invitation of the Mayor and Council at Lindsay, on TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY THURS DAY, the 14th, 15th, and 16th of AUG- UST, 1888. As subjects of general in- terest in every city, town, village and hamlet will be discussed and papers pre- sented by eminent scientists, it is hoped that every place will be represented. Lindsay offers special advantages is becoming a railroad centre, a progressive town.
