say it created considerable speculation
and interest as to what class it belong-
ed amongst our local sportsmen, but
with the assistance of several good
books on bird lore the specimen was
easily' located as being a turkey vul-
ture, otherwise known as a turkey
buzzard, on account of its remarkable
resemblance to the common turkey.
It inhabits the southern States and
most of Central and South America.

NEW ONTARIO.
Thornloe, Temiscatning
District, Ont., Aug. 7/02
T. Hall, Editor Advance :
Dear Sir.—Thinking that probably
some of your readers might be in-
terested in hearing from this district,
I take the liberty to give a little in-
formation.
The district has, the last 15 months,
gone ahead beyond all expectations.
The land has now been taken up forty
and fifty miles back, and yet there is
lots of good land back of that. The
government is spending a very large
amount of money on public roads and
opening up the country, but this
should have been done two or three
years ago. The crops are looking
splendid ; I intend sending you some
samples later on. Thornloe is going
ahead very fast and will soon be incor-
porated, There are 14 stores, 2 saw
mills, 4 churches, weekly paper, fine
school, etc. We expect to have a.fall
fair ; we have also a Board of Trade.
There will also be a good chance for a
grist mill next year, but it would have
to be water -power, unless the railway
is completed by then, as the heavy
machinery necessary could not be sent
by boat.
There is also a good opening for•first
class sawmill near my place if started
this fall,
There is an excellent opening for a
good doctor in Thornloe; we have one
but he does not give satisfaction. If a
good man came here and was reasona-
ble in his charges, he would get agood
practice, with extra good chances in
the fntl're,
The 0, 0. F. is getting well establish-
ed here, and we expect to have two
more courts started in a very short
time. We expect a big rush of settlers
in here as soon as the harvest is over
at the front.
If any person desires information on
the business chances I have spoken of,
I shall be pleased to give them all that
1 possibly can,
Yours truly,
E. SACIintnnn,
Bluevale..

ble, Beating on the possibilities of
the Temiskaming district is the follow-
ing news item, which we reproduce
from the Toronto Daily Star of Satur-

"Crown Lands Agent Armstrong at

some farming as well as attending to
his official duties, as is shown by a let.

that he has sold his hay crop standing
for 5125, and that he will have 1,000
bushels of oats, which, at 80 cents per
bushel, will yield. him $800, This
shows," says Mr, Southworth, "that
the Temiskaming is beginning to pro.
dote something. Of course, their
clearances are small yet."
An 'August .Sane That's Different.
Different—because of the radical reductions we make on strictly summer goods
when its time for them to go. No carrying them over here.
Different too—because it is unnecessary to mark down all staple goods in order to
sell them at all. Curs are bought right and marked right to start with. They will
be found always marked as low and often lower than equal qualities are sold here-
abouts, at any time ; everything is not marked down. `}
Different again—because there is no fuss about it ; no pretense of being rushed to
death. There are enough good, competent people here to wait on all who come.
Different once more—because This Store with its high ceilings and big windows, is
the lightest, coolest one in town, and just the place to do your Summer Trading in
Comfort.
