W. En glanci3Orediton A SPLENDID CHANCE. A splendidchance awaits the right man to start an oatmeal mill. The undersigned has one of the best sites for a mill of this kind that ebuld be had near Macleod, Alber- ta District, N. W. T. There is a large water- fall on the plane end the train runs within a few rods of the Site. Only a small amount of money required. Oatmeal sells there for Sets a pound. Correspondence solicited. Jos. A umutsou, Centralia, Ont. :'Only Thlrty.nine" It was on a bright November morn- ing, wtih our town wrapped in the splendor of the newly risen sun, that the writer and two town sports, of a rather pretentious turn of mind (whose names we will not mention) wishing to vary the monotony of social and busy whirl, shouldered their deadly weapons and carrying a goodly supply of muniments of war on black squirrels, hied themselves to a promising and likely place of game. After taking. dinner at the residence of their old friend Mr. Thomas Case, of the London Road, the party started for the bush Arriving on the spot one of the number lookingg around discovered what he ` supposed was one of the desired species of game he was in quest of, and then all rushed to the tree, only to be disap- pointed by the appearance of a red squirrel. Not wishing to waste any time on such small game and paying. little attention to my companions I made a hasty departure to parts of a more promising nature. Not proceed- ing far my attention was attracted by repeated reports of fire arms and think- ing probably I was being pursued by a mutiny of Indians, I beat a hasty re- treat and made for the clearance, but even there shot after shot could be heard in the distance. After reaching the sideroad and remaining there for some time the oche two sports also arrived on the scene and to my great surprise they were about oyer - come by fatigue and were burdened down (?) with the carcasses of two -I was going to say bears, but it was only black squirrels. They informed me that they had been favored with an excellent bit of sport and had ONLY DISCHARGED TFIIRTY NINE SHELLS -all they possessed -to get what game they had. They inquired if I. desired to go further but my courage faltered; and thinking my companions were more extrava;aaut than expert, and more grand at shooting than they were at killing, I decided to make tracks for home; or rather to the residence of Mr Thos. Hawkins, where we were to tres- pass on the hospitalities of the good lady of the house, who was to have some good things ready on our return, So after starting and the two consoling therhselves under the fatigue and dis appointment of a rather unsuccessful pursuit, they began to figure up the cost of their game, and calculated that each one had cost about $200. I in- deed felt sorry, knowing that they could ill afford so great an expense, but I thought it was lucky that they did not get any more at that rate of reck- oning, However, we arrived wh,ire the good things had been prepared and it is needless to say that ample justice was done. After filling our capacious °bread -baskets" we returned to our re- nfirS ective homes, aud the two have con- dead if they ever go again they will eve a magazine to follow them for the supply of ammunition. Postmaster Brown, Prieeville, Grey county, is dead, aged 60. Church Dedication. The new Main Street Methodist Church, Lxeter, replacing the or.e des- troyed by fire last Mareh, was dedicated to the worship of God on Sunday, Dec. let inst.

The addresses were interspersed with. music, vocal and instrumental. The new pipe organ purchased from Edward Lye and Son, Toronto, was opened by Mr. W. H.

Competent judges declare the baled ing to be unsurpassed in Western On- tario. The entire cost is estimated at $10,- 000. Nearly all of which is provided.
