Many ot the roads throughout Stephen township are in a bad state- Some of the made least travelled upon are dangerous, The culverts and bridges at various points are dilapidated and the approaches to which are "caving in The pathmastere will soon commence roadwork, and it would be to the interests of the township and the comfort of the travelling public to have these repairs attended to at the earliest moment. Warning. The public should not need to he re- minded that it is an offence punishable by lav: to atternpt to use postage stamps that have done service. The evil has become eo common that an example will be made of persons guilty of such as attempt to defraudthe revenue. All such letters have to be sent to the dead letter office, where they are opened and a record made of the names of the would•be-thieves. Fall Wheat, Fall wheat in some of the localities to the south looks well, while to the north and west the cereal has none too promising appearance. The fields are patchy and in some places dried out. A shower of rain every few days might bring the wheat along alright, but if the hot and dry weather sets in the wheat this year will be a failure. Spring grain looks well, the meadows, :generally, behind. Pasturage as a rule is good. At the present time it is difficult to determine --it all rests with the weather for the next month. Nuptial, Oa Wednesday of last week the resi- elence of Mrs. James Brownlee was the scene' of a happy event, the occasion being the marriage of her youngest daughter, Nellie, to Mr, W, T.

The young couple will make their home in Kirkton, where Mr- Roadhouse in Com- pany with Mr. Wm. Brown carry on "The Spruce Carriage Works." We wish the newly married twain long life and cootie - lied happiness. --.0— Must Publish it. The importance of publishing a dieso- ane of i fes in the eventof a eh ut n not d vg, firm is shown by a case recently decided. .A note for 2,500 was given by a former member of the firm and the firm'a name signed to it. It was discounted at the bank and the maker of the note appro- priated the proceeds to his own use. Be- ing unable to collect it when due the bank brought suit against the firm for the amount. They showed that his connec- tion with the firm had ceased before he made the note, but as they had not pub- lished the dissolution notice previous to that time, as required by law, judgment was rendered against the old firm.
