t. Canada's Banking System
William C. Cornwell, cashier of the
Bank of Buffalo, told the Bankers'
Convention at New Orleans that Can-
ada had, according to his beliefY the
most perfect currency system in the
world, excepting perhaps that of Scot-.
land.
Heavy Rain Fall
One of the heaviest rainfalls that
has ever visited this section took place
on Monday last. The fall of water
was nearly. two and three-quarter
inches.on.the level, or about equal to
the average of the entire rainfall for
the month of November for the past
six years.
To Correspondents
Now that the fall work is nearly
over, we hope to hear more regularly
from our country correspondents.
Good budgets from each quarter are of

cality from which they are sent, but to

Foresters Anniversary
The ,members of the Canadian Order
of Foresters at Dungannon intend
celebrating the tenth anniversary nd
of

entertainment in the Agricultural hall
on this (Thursday) evening, Nov. 26th.
oint where the doubts as to its _per- Amona. the speakers expected to take

petnity of the most skeptical should be
dispelled. The Order in Canada has
been established nearly fifteen years,
has as `membership of 24,000, and its
record cannot. be . excelled. Since it
became a separate jurisdiction, in 1880
its assessments , have averaged $13
only. Twelve assessments for the
present year have been levied, making

TIie membership of the Order is

A Big .Flood '
The heavy down pour of rain on
Monday caused the creeks and mill -
pends in this village to overflow their
banks and for a time it looked as
though the centre of the village was
in danger of being washed down
stream. The nine -mile river was
terribly swollen and a large quantity
of wood, etc., was carried away, but
the surprise is that none of the bridges
were washed away. It was the
greatest flood that the village has
witnessed for many years, and had it
occurred later in the season when the
ice had formed it would have swept
everything before it.

Night School
The regular course of instruction
will commence next Tuesday evening,
and continue every Tuesday and Fri-
day evening. All are requested to be
punctually in their places at 8 a'clock
sharp. The necessary outfit consists
of a blank book-keeping book, copy
book, Gages No. 4, pen and pencil,
bottle of black ink, red ink, scribbling
book, rubber, ruler and blotting paper.
It is insisted that each be supplied
with the foregoing outfit. Remember
next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock
sharp. -
A Boom in Farm. Lands
For -a few years past farm property
in this . section was a drug on the
market, and the few farms that did
change hands were sold at a big sacri-
fice. The splendid crops of the past
two years,together with the high
prices obtainable for everything the
farmer has to sell, has renewed a feel-
ing of confidence, and scarcely a week
passes but one or ntwo sales of
farms are recorded. , Messrs. Geo.
Mair & Company, bankers, of this
village, have recently disposed of a
large amount of farm property and the
prices obtainable in every case were
far in advance of what the same lands
would have brought a year ago. This
is a healthy sign of the times.
Baptist Young People
A fine programme was arranged and
carried out by the social and music
:committee of the • Baptist young
people's union on Thursday evening,
Nov. 19th, for which they deserve
great credit and which merited a
better attendance than was. given
them. The young folks that ' were,
present, and older ones too, expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
with the evening's entertainment.
Much disappointment was evinced at
the weak support given by the mem-
bers • of the society. The topic for
Thursday, Nov. 26th will be, "Obed-
ience in little things," The meeting
will be in charge of the president.
This being the monthly meeting it is
hoped all the members ' and as many
others as possible will be present.

Successful Operation
M rs. (Rev.) Thompson,daughter of
Rev. J. Kenner, who in enfeebled
health returned, a few weeks since
from British Columbia to her parents
in Lucknow, was placed in treatment.
under the care of our esteemed towns-
man, Dr. Tennant. The doctor
diagnosed the disease and located the
cause of trouble. A . delicate and
severe operation was found to be
necessary, and on Friday week last the
doctor, assisted by Dr. Elliott, placed
the patient under chloroform for
nearly two hours and skilfully execut-
ed the operation. Twice each day the
doctorhas been a visitant\of the par-
sonage, but thinks once will do now
as the patient is doing so well that he
expects her to be around in a few days,
and better than she has been for
years or even could have been but for
the treatment to which she has been
subject.—Com.
—Many of the gun accidents that
usually take place at this time of year,
might be averted by carrying the weap-
on at, half-cock. This is the practice of
people acnustomed to the use of fire-
arms. When the hammer is down
against the cartridge, the least jar is li-
able to send it off. Pistols should in-
variably be carried in the same manner.
Our Advertisements
We call the special attention of our
readers to the many advertisements
that 'will appear in the SENTINEL
during the next few weeks. This is
the . 'season of the year when farmers
and others will commence to buy their
winter supplies of clothing, boots and
shoes, hardware, groceries and all the
other requirements of the household.
It will be to their interest to look
carefully over the ad"vertisements so
as to enable them to decide where
they can hest get the articles they
need at the lowest prices. In fact the
advertisements in a paper are in many
respects the most profitable reading in
its columns,. especially inthefall when
new stocks are being laid in, and all
should be well posted as to where they
can trade to the best. advantage.
