The average man no doubt has often wondered who invented. or in- troduced the senseless custom of lift- i11g1 the hat to ladies.

Owing, to being unable to make sat- isfactory tirea,ngetaents with the Gr.ind Trunk Railway Co. the Masons have decided to aba,nd on the idea of running an excursion this sutumer.

The above figores represent the size of the barn raised on Mr. Elijah Joey's farm, 2nd concession of Stephen, on Friday :ifternoon last, being one of the lareest barns in the neie.hborhood. A large number were present from town and viciaity and the immense timbers went together in splendid shape. One accident however, happen- ed which might have resulted serious- ly and how all escaped is a mystery. The ,perline plate which was being put in place slipped off, falling with great force to the ground below where dozens of men stood. Luckily; how- ever, they were watchiug the thing and got out of the way with the ex- ception of Mr. R. N. Rowe and a few others who narrowly 'escaped with their lives, Sides were chosen the captains being Messrs. Wm. Ander- son, and Frank Triebner, the former'S side vanquishing their opponents cdn- siderably. The freme work was done by Mr. James Brintaell and reflects credit on his workmanship. After the the stalwarts had done yeoman duty to the barn, they repaired to the house where equal activity prevailed, all doing ample justice to the good things provided by the ladies. When completed Mr. Jory will have one of the largest and best barns in the coun- ty, there being, a splendid bank under- neath and the whole will be modern- ly equipped.

There WaS CO/Midi:1'41MR stir here re- cently in connection with a, land ad- vertising agency. It seems that three yearsago a number of farmers in this vicinity gave permission to a Guelph advertising agency to advertise their farms for .sale, the agreement bein that two per cent, of the price asked was to be paid the agency as commis- sion if the farm Was sold, or if not sold at the end of three years, to cover cost of adveitieing. The papers have been turned oe-er to a legal firrn, who are note colleeting the percentegee. teor instance, one farmer, valuing his farm at $6,000, was called on for $120. Melly who ha•ve had large bills ptesented, have paid them, seeing no wey to :ivoid doing SO. Others have compro- mised for a reduced sum.
