On . the railways a low rate .has been

A • great •deal of .interest centers•
around the Wiarton factory which is
the pioneer institution of the kind in
Canada, its charter having been ob-
tained years before any other like es-
tablishtnents . in the country were
thought' of.
. In the first stages of its organiza-
tion the enterprise suffered many
drawbacks and discouragernents, re-
ceiving but scant 'support from mon-
ied men and open opposition in many
quarters. Notwithstanding all •tlacse
unfavorable .eircuinstatices, the little
band of original .pronioters kept right
on working in the face of what an.
peered to be insurmountable difficul-
ties. Capitalists were eventually in-
terested, Verniers saw by the cxper-
fence of the agriculturists of Michi-
gan that there Was inoney in growing
beets and they anadeeontracts for the
supply, • A small bounty on produc-
tion was secured from the government.
Large capitalists were. interested, the
capital stock increased, the company
re- organized, the contract for the
building and ntacliinery let and now
the building is going up and the es-
tablishinent will be ready 'to snake
sugar itt the fall of this year. The
first barrel of beet sugar made in
Canada will be made its the Wiarton
factory,

The storm of Thursday last was one
of the mutt furious that ever passed
over this section, but, we are glad in
being able to say that there are no
fatalities to report. But Merchant
Hays and his better half had a nar-.
row escape. '!'here was a small leak
in the roof and Mr, Hays went up in-
to the attic with a tia dish to catch
what rain penetrated. He carried a
lamp in one hand and the dish in the
other when the lightning struck him,
knocked down the lamp and dazed hitt
for a few minutes, Mrs. Hays, who
stood at the foot of the stairs, was
also slightly shocked. Shingles were
knocked off the roof and for a short
time it was feared that a fire would
ensue, but the danger was averted.
