Millers'. Association.
The Millers' Association of Huron, Perth
Bruce,Grey anclWellington met inWinghani
on Monday last#he attendance being small
owing to a change of date as well as its
coming in conflict with one or two meek
inga outside. Mr. Moyer, of Listowel. ably
presided. The first subject discussed was
that of railway rates, it being contended
that the trade was handicapped by the
faoilities given for grinding in transit. It
was admitted to .be neither prudent nor
pratioal to attempt the fixing of rates. It
was suggested byIlfr. W. B. Hutton that at
future meetings difficulties in the running
of mills be brought up and diseussed. The
proposition was well received. The
tion of the quantity of flour to be given for
various kinds of wheat was also ventilated.
It was suggested that when so desired a
farmer's wheat be purchased and flour
'sold him at Wholesale rates. The Ifeet
meeting is to be held in Harriston some
time in August.
Street Lighting.
It is gratifying to know that action was
'taken on the question of street lighting at
the last meeting of the Council. The
matter was referred to the Executive
Committee. We believe that any well
considered plan of lighting," based on
principles of reasonable economy, would
meet with the hearty approval of citizens.
The time has come when something has to
be done if we are to retain our place and
reputation amongst the towns of Ontario.
Although many places are yet moderately
well lighted by lamps, few if any towns
have adopted it recently. Our attention
was called to the MoIlvanie system of gas
lighting being introduced into Meaford.
An exchange from that town recently said :
"Mr. MoIlvanie is having great success in
introducing it into the stores and business
places of the town. He is the inventor of
the system. He aims at manufacturing
the gas by simple and inexpensive appara.
tus, so that small towns and even villages
of 500 inhabitants can have gas light
second' to none and as cheap as can be
furiaished in the cities. This is not water
gas, but made from crude oil only, in red
hot retorts, containing cheap materials
that purify the gas and make it ready for
use without further purifying. There is
not as much carbonic oxide in this gas as
in alai gas." We hope the Executive
Committee may be in a position to make a
recommendation to the Council at its neat
meeting.

Toronto $aturday Night, under the heading
of "Aft and Artists", a, portrait and bio:
graphical sketch of one who is said to have
"been born at Wiugham in 1860." The
party referred to is Mr, G. A. Reid who
was born in East Wevra,nosh and is a son
of Mr. Aclam nem now being ou the 2tid
Con, of Morris. His brother Thomas Reid
is now prineipal of the Teeswater public
wheel and he is also a cousin to Mr. John
Buchanan merchant, and Mrs. T. Agnew,
of Wingham. - We understand this young
artist early manifested great fondness and
Aptitude for sketaliiiig and drawing. The
article in question says; The knowledge
and experience disclosed Might reasonably
bo attributed to one more mature in years.
Mr, iteid's first knowledge of art was ob.
tained iu Torouto Art &boot from '78

execution and breadth of treatment. His.
best known works are the "Canto Inger"
and. a ,portrait of his wife them tyro years

The Great American Cyclopedia,
The American Cyolopaedia is without
doubt the greatest work of the kind in
print, and is a whole library in itself,.
Its general adaptation to all clams, and
for all purposes, makes it the most desirable
of all the leading Cyclopeodia libraries for
the teacher, the minister, the merchant,
the lawyer, the physician, the farmer, and
for the pupil at school. Every man, and
especially every bead of a family, should..
have the American Oyclopaeclia, for adult
and youth alike... To the Canadian reader
the faot that the Cycilopaedia is published
and compiled in America is of the greatest
importance: -Of the geographical names
to be found on this continent, it contains
it much moreexteitiveandvariedoolleetion
than any ,transiaLtlantio work can reason:
ably be expected to have, and the same
remark applies to a variety of nainea.
