—Col. Varcoe recently received from

Mr, W. A. Cunningham, of Carlow, by
him sold to Mr, John '1'. Hicks, of
Mitchell, from whom it found ire way
into the remounts being purchased for
South Africa and became the property
of Col. Otter. It went through that
officer's term in the field, carrying him
in every engagement he was in and on
every parade, and after the colonel's
return to Toronto has served him
every day until the present. The horse
never missed a meal nor was ill a day,
and is today sound and active, end the
pride of his Reliant owner. The en-
quiries show that the animal was sired
by Old Fulton, dam by 'Pontine, and
grand dam by Merry Legs, and Col.
Otter naturally thinks there ought to
be more like him.

—Warden Kerr hat the following to
say in his raper, the Brussels Poet, ro-
gsrding rte good roads movement:
"There is little doubt nut that the good
roads movement will be thoroughly dis-
guesed at Huron county council in 1903.
,tri'ae intention is, we believe, to invite
the reeves of the varioue municipalities
in H,uren to attend a meeting at Gode-
rich during the June seseion of the
county council, end have the question
threshed out. The government com-
missioner, Mr. A. W. Campbell, be
invited, and in addressing the *nutty
council in December he heartily ap-
proved of the above mentioned proposal,
This wetter of modern methods in road -
making is rapidly gaining ground and
cannotbe any longer ignored by any
municipality. Already no less than 67
townships have abolished statute labor
and a larise number of otherewill follow
suit. Advance steps have been taken
during the pest few yeare end aid pran-
tices much improved upon hy the aid
of road grading machines and a more
practical view of the work taken by
pathmastete, but one great difficulty is
the vent of uniformity. We believe it
would pay any township to call all the
path masters together for an afternoon's
dttotta$i014 on this subject. What do
you think?"
