Some of the places have a thrifty look. The civility of the Uonductoe and brakesman and the attention paid to passengers was worthy of note as compared with "the paddle -your -own canoe" style of the long ago. If some- thing could be done to aortal the cin• ders and smoke and still leave thenar windows open, the pleasure of railway travel would be vastly increased on a hot day. On arrival at Owen Sound the Jehu's who control the vehicular transportation of passengers, were very alert for trade but I corlsigued myself to chauffeur Brook's care and hie little Ford .want rambling right along to No. 236, 6th etreet East, the home of Mrs, (Dr.) Cavanagh, sister to the scribe.

Sunrise on the bay was a beautiful eight. Oc11- poy's is enjoying church union as the Methodist church, a tidy building with Sunday School room attached, is the only place of public worship with Pastor Matthews in charge. Instead of spending the time be- tween (rales atPahnerstinl, I came on to Listowel and had as couple of hours them.;. One noticeable feature is the interest the town is taking in beautie fying the homes, lawns and streets. - 00 some of the latter, at the inter- sections, flower plots have been made on the boulevards giving a decidedly attractive appearance. Found Bro. Blatchford, of the Banner, as busy as the proverbial miller when I caped. Arrived back to Brussels by the noon train much pleased with my short holiday and soon found plenty of duties to keep me out of tnischiet. The crops on the whole look good, considering the season but in the North the straw will be short. Hay is an abundant crop. I saw nothing better or further advanced than the. grain fields about Brussels and locali- ty, A very pleasant Summer outtug is in store for anyone who has the time to visit the water fronts of the North- land. I hope to go again. \ Z, H. KERR. AN OPEN LETTER This is the "Golden Age" for girls. We can train your daughter in six months and then place het in a bank, wholesale or other office position.
