I hope that your words may bring forth a hearty response from the Clergy and Sunday School Teachers of Howick. We ought to : have a convention in either Gorrie or Fordwich, as these seem to be central. points. These local Sunday .School. Conventions, I feel, are.betterfor the practical work among our average teachers than even the County Conven- tion can be. ' How few of our Sunday School Teachers are able to attend the County Conventions ! How many would attend the local 1 We held one in Wrox- eterthree years ago. It was, exceedingly well attended and the papers read were admirable. • It was alt., and much more than:a county convention could . have been to the locality. Let us have a Howick Sunday School Convention, I say, by all means.

Miss Jennie McDougall, who has been visiting friends here for some time, left Saturday for Stanley, where she intends staying for a short time before returning to her home in Kent. Mr. Will Nicholson, of Toronto, spent a few days this week, with friends on the 6th line.

Anderson and family have the syinpathy ' of the entire tom- s mtlnty�il their sad and saddenbereaie- menti, put to great inconvenience here because Fordwich is only a flag station. Surely 'this enterprising village is of more im- portance to the C. P. R. than to be thus slighted. The hiring of -a car often costs a trip to Gorrie or Harriston, and always much delay. The cost of putting in a telegraph instrument would be very slight, and our people would much ap- preciate the change. The sleighing is excellent and there is a lot of grain, pork, wood, logs, etc., finding a ready market here. Fordwich has not been slighted by Mr. "Grip." A large number are down with it. Among them being Mr. Chas. Mc- Laughlin's entire family. Our new temperance hotel is now in full running order,and in charge of mine host Young, with Mr. Chas. Roadhouse as clerk. It is neatly fitted up and ought - to do a good trade. Mr. Hooey has moved to town from his farm just south of Gorrie.
