JOHNSTON We are in receipt of the initial num ber of the 'Thornbury Herald, which has just been established by a former Exeterite, W. J, Fortson, son of Mr, Wm. Fortson. It is a well printed eight page sheet, and judging from the advertis ing columns, the establishment of this journal has been fully endorsed by the leading merchants. It will take an in- dependent stand in politics. We wish the Herald every, success. The foolish farmer holdeth his wheat for a rise in price,the assessor assesseth it and the tax collector cometh around and collecteth his stipend, and the market refuseth to rise. The wise man. selleth from the thresher; thereby he escapeth-the additional taxation and interest on the money borrowed. He. watcheth not the market with feverish pulse, but denotes his mind to things more profitable, and his days shall be long upon the earth and his hair turn- eth not gray from sorrow.—Ex. We heartily thank the large number of subscribers who so promptly respond ed to our recent call, and paid up their subscriptions.

Now don't you be the last to pay up.

For neglecting to give the notice as above, that cases of measels existed in their families, two residents of Walkerton were brought before the police magistrate and each fined $t and costs.

When someone offers to gip° some- thing for nothing, and someone else bites at the bait, there is then i fraud at each end of the line, for the man who expects to get something for noth- ing is at heart as dishonest as the one who promises what he doesn't intend to fulfil. Mr. John Granger, head sawyer in the Exeter saw mill, met with a pain- ful accident while Gutting stave -bolts on Friday last. It appears he was turn ing a piece of timber on the log carrier and accidentlygot the middle finger on his right hand caught between the timber and machine, squeezing it so badly that it was necessary to ampu- tate it at the first joint, It is a pleasure in this age when so many debtors stand in front of their honor and in rear of the statute of limitations to come across a case which restores a man's confidence in the hon- or and honesty of his fellows. Hugh Dyett.;a little over twenty years ao, owned the farm now occupied by Win. Kerslake and owned by Mat Kelland and later ran a :brick and tile kiln in Kinloss, at which he had very indiffer- ent success and his venture at last proved a financial failure. He left the country, owing several thousand dol- lars: He went to Leadville, Col,, and spent the past fifteen years in that State engaged in developing mining inter- ests. A few weeks ago he came back. and paid off all his indebtedness. Mr. Dyett is now a member of the States Legislature of Colorado. Such a . man is deserving of honor.

The re suit is alternate bumping of shoulders and separating Then try keeping step, i. e., each stepping with the same foot, left with left and` right with right The result is manifest: The boys and girls in all schools should keep step when walking.
