Floody will occupy the pulpit of Blyth Methodist church next Sunday evening. Rev. Mr. Floody is an old Biyth boy who is fast coming to the front as a preacher and no doubt many of his old friends and schoolmates will be pleased to have the opportunity to hear hits preach. —Mr. J, D. McDonald, district pass- enger agent, of the Grand Trunk rail- way, states that in Ontario the bush mos all along the line is double that of previous years.

A number of its citizens have clubbed together and bought u a considerable tract of unoccupied landin the southeastern part of the city, which they purpose surveying into one-fifth acre lots and selling to factory employees at $100 each, one-half of which is to go Into a fund to be adininietered by truetees for the purpose of inducing industries to locate in Stratford, If eupplemeuted by a scheme to enable the lot purchasers to build houses, It should greatly help Stratford. Citizens who believe in help- ing their town and themselves can do much. —Every enterprising man is a help to his town. The more [Honey he makes, if Ileums it, the better for the coiumun- ity. A place cannot be built up without him, and a wide-awake growing town is a benefit to the surrounding country. Hence it is to the interest of all to en- courage enterprising men in all walks of life. Too often, however, communi- ties are aetually retarded in their growth by residents of means who oppose every progressive mo, ement. Men who have wealth, but who are afraid to invest in the community in which they liye, are not so much use to a town, The amount they pay in taxes is offset by their opposition to all progress. —The farmers of Ontario seem to be wide-awake to the benefits of the " good roads" policy of the Ontario govern- ment, for the correspondence received by Mr. A. W. Campbell of the Ontario department of public works shows that et least 5750,000 will be spent this year in settled counties for the repair of main roads. Of this amount tha govern- ment's share will be $250,000. In addi- tion to all this, Mr. Campbell has prac- tically arranged for the overhauling and repair of 500 miles of old roads or trails in New Ontario, the construction of 620 miles of new roads, the building of a number of new bridges and the repair of many old ones, all in New On- tario. This will mean an expenditure of about $250,000. and will be of im- mense benefit in opening out new terri- tory and helping places already settled. Bring Your Wheat Blyth Flour Mills.

The oldest, 18 years, is at St. Johns, Newfoundland. The body was taken to St. Johns for interment. —Alas for Schwab, the much vaunted, highly paid president of the American steel trust, who a few years ago was set op as an example for young men ! He is eaid to be broken, not only in health but in fortune. He aimed high—money high. By luck and sharp dealing—ail "honest" enough, as things go in some circles, he had become a millionaire, but lie wanted to figure as a financial prodigy. He speculated, and 50 a vast scale, he lost. Then he tried Monte Carlo. Now an "assistant" has been appointed to do his work, and Schwab is shunted aside. Ho was never a good man to pattern after; his money was not "earned"; his principles would not square with right. Such success as he had—as many such have—is not the goal to which the youth of the land should be directed. --Mr. T. 11. Mace, editor of the Mitch- ell Recorder, has a capital article in the Canadian Horticulturist for July, from which we take the following extract: " Horace Greeley, in his admirable essay on farm life, says that the Leet invest- ment a farmer can make for his family is that which surrounds their youth with the rational delights of a beauteous and attractiye home. Whatever the conditions or environment, there is no spot that lo deeply coucerne the welfare of menial as the home. Where a child is nurtured, there the foundation of his character fs laid ; and upon the influences of early home life depends largely the character of the manhood and woman- hood we are producing. And upon that character depends the character of the nation or country. A country is just what the people make it. What they may be then depends lengthy on the influences we throw about them now in • ,their bogie lite." WALL PAPER Largest Stock. Choicest Designs. Closest Prices.
