balls for the shooting match.
Leadburg.
SAYINGS.—It is being noticed • that land
brings a better price in the northern portion
of McKillop than it does in any other section
of the county. There are two reasons for
this. In the first place the soil is of an
excellent quality, but the principal reason
is that there are quite a number of inchis-
trious and. progressive farmers in this local-
-ay who are willino a.nd able to add to their
property. ---Mrs. X. McNab has been away
visiting her parents and other relatives in
Michigan, for the past two monthe. Mrs.
McNab did not have very geod health dur-
ing the summer. We hope she will come
back fully restored.—Mr. Murdie, who has
been selected for county councillor in Mc-
Killop, is a well-informed and intelligent
man, and likewise a person of both moral
and social worth, and should make a splen-
did showing in the corning elections.—Ed-
ward Drager had a ploughing bee on Thurs-
day last. He got ten acres turned over.—
Sorne parties on Halloween made a raid on
the hen house of Finlay McIntosh and
were carrying off some fat roosters. Finlay,
although a married man outran the trans-
gressors and made them -disgorge.—An
article headed, " To Boys of Sixteen," on
page 6 of last week's EXPOSITOR, should be
read by all boys in homes where that
journal enters, every word therein being as
true as holy writ, Yet there are elderly
people of both sexes who will say that a boy
is all the better for having sown his wild
oats. Poor, silly old fools, they don't
realize that they are corrupting the milds
of those they come in contact with.
Lakelet.
ScrsTILLATIoNs.—Mrs. Darroch, of Har-
riston, is visiting in the burg at present.-

-wife was in the telegraph office in Gorrie,
- 'inquiring about his state, when the sad news
•came flashing in.—Mr. Wallace, of the 17th,
has his new chopper going, and it is doing
good work. He chops none but his own. Here
we he.ve three choppers at work, and farm-
ers come for miles and miles to get their
-work done here at 4 cents per bag.—It is
strange we have not heard who is, for sure,
the aspirant or aspirants for county council
honors from Howick. We did hear, but
with no certainty, that either Mr. Dalmage,
our reeve, or Mr. B. S. Cook, ex -reeve, was
- coming out.—There is at present a possi-
bility of the noon trains at Clifford being
cancelled. Shoul4 that take place Clifford
and the towns along that line will kick sky
high, and we Lakeleters will howl too, as it
is going to be very inconvenient for mail
purposes here, —Gorrie, Fordwich, Clifford
and Mildrnay are all having clearing sales
this month. The people frock there, and no
doubt in some things they get bargains.—
Mr. James Wright, of the 17th, had the
abscess in his arm pit lanced a week ago by
Dr. Crandall, of Clifford. Since. then, he
has been fairly well, though suffering con:
siderably at. night.—Our Foresters appear
in sympathy with the change in the sick
and funeral benefit item. If it will help to
increase our • number, we heartily welcome
it, as oar court is indeed very shaky.—Miss
Jacques, of the boundary, who has taught
there three years, with every success, is p-
ing to have a ' concert at the close of the
school term.—The 14piscopal service was re-
commenced in the hall last Sunday morning

dow, well glazed. In this is set row upon
row of potted plants. In other houses pot-
ted plants line every window sill, or win-
dow boxes, bright with blossoms, bang
above the sidewalk. Every One has the in-
fection. The poorest house has its one or
two geraniums in the window. Those
who have gardens have planted them with
bright flowers in bowilderin,g color com-
binations. Bright yellow and red mingle
in almost every assortinent and dominate
the quieter hues. •
The flowers of Nova' Scotia are with few
exceptions "old fashioned" flowers. There
is mignonette and here geranium
'there
phlox and here the simple "candytuft."
'Ragged Bailors are plentiful, and holly-
hocks are a frequent growth. Rose plants
are n t many, but the season forroses Is

n you go to market Saturday morn-
ing, y u will meet many people carrying
great bunches of ill assorted homely flow-
ers. Powers are the chief staple in the
market. All the market women have
them; many have nothing else. Some tie
them in bunches; some stick the stems in
moss, packed tight in a wooden plate. Ten
cents is the usual price for a bunch, and
the old market women thrust their fra-
grant wares under your nose as you tread
this avenue of flowers around the postoffice
and the market building.
Other places are the same. .In Hawkes-
bury the first suggestion of hospitality
which cameto Mr. Paint, the agent of the
Plant line, when I oalled on him, a stran-
ger and a pilgrim, was to invite me to
view his garden, a wilderness of'brilliant
flowers supplemented at the rear of the
house by a forest of gooseberry and rasp-
berry bushes.
In Charlottetow ,are many plantin ev-

don't know why il should be so. To these

ERNEsT CLARE.
A Striking Likeness.
Miss Susan is an exceedingly refined
young lady who has seen some five summers.
She is full of airs and of graces, reserved,
self-contained, and decidedly uppish. She
cut her uncle dead on the street one day,
and when he reproached her for her extreme
hauteur, she said, with her most pronounc-
ed society manner :
"Oh, I saw you, uncle, but I thought it
was auntie "

A LAND OF FLOWERS.
TEL 3.iove. Scotia Every One ifns a Little Con-
servatory. Specie I(rs1)11dence..1
HALIFAX, :2-S.—You would hardly
think of Nova Si•otia as a land of flowers
If you bad: not been here. The na-me al-
ways suggested soniething bleak and bar-
ren -until 1 eame to 1 lalifax, I found the
town a mass of bloom. So are the other
towns cif this remarkable place. Even lit-
tle Hawkesbury„ on the strait of Canso, is
full of sweet scented flowers. )
I think the dreartim4s of the winters has
much to do with this efflorescence. The
Nova. Scotia winter does not begin very
early—they toll nte frost does not come
Usually before the middle Of November—
but it is so', ere, and the spring is verylate. -
'Much and April are cold, wet and dreary
think it must be that these people culti-
vate flowers becatiee tlieir -season of bright,
mild -weather is so short. One can only
spectdato about it, for if he asks a native
he will receive no satisfactory reply. - The
native has grown up inthis environment.
He does not know whyjit is or how it
dif-
ters front eonditions elsewhere. He does
not see in this wealth of flowers displayed
all over Halifax anything which should. be
explained.
Hotels aro not commonly msthetic. A
few palma iti the reception room are enough -
usually for any ono of them, however pre- '
tentious. My hotel in Halifax has all its
front windows filled with brilliant, fiower-

a passageway frofi the: parlor of this hotel
to an annex. It runs through a conserva-
tory lined_ with flowering plants. Through
the glass.sides of this conservatory you see
a, little roof garden (it is only one flight
from the street). on which are ranged
boxes and tubs of Mayers. At dinner ev-
ery table has its bouquet of sweet peas or of
other fragrant blossoms. -

IT'S NOT SO SURPRISING.
. It is not so surprising after all that the
Family Herald 's new ) premium picture,
"The Orphan's Prayer," is being received
with 'such raptures. The subject is a grand
one; its treatment the work of a master,
and its reproduction is superb: Already
lucky subscribers are refusing high figures
for their copy of "The Orphan's Prayer."
All Canada will rejoice that a Canadian
paper has secured something that is receiv-
ing such plaudits on both continents. Our
congratulations to the Family Herald and
Weekly Star of Montreal.

MOVING
SALE 'r
To meet the demands of our in-
creasing business, and maintain the
lead, and keep all the latest de-
signs and styles in footwear, we
find our present premises too small,.
and have leased Whitney's corner
store, which, when fitted up in
modern style and occupied by us,
will be the best shoe store in the
county. To save trouble and ex-
pense in moving, and go into our
brand new store withaa brand new
stock, we wish to reduce oar pres-
ent stock to the lowest possible
point. As this is the season of the
year that till must have good foot-
wear, and our prices will, be made
to suit every one, we anticipate no
difficulty in accomplishing the de-
sired object, as our goods will sell
like lightning at the prices we now
ask for them.
