Station will be put at lot 25, 1,1 miles west of Monerieff, Some say that Win. Fraser, Coun- ciilor, may promote to the Reeveship of the township. P. Keifer and Ino. Brown are mentioned as probable candidates for seats at the Boasal. Others think the present Council should be left where they are so as to clear up the work they have entered upon, in drainage and bridge matters particularly. On Friday of last week, one of the most successful examinations ever held around here was that at S. S. No. 4. From early in the' forenoon, visi- tors kept coming, until upward of 150 were present. The children did extra well and reflected much credit to their teacher, Mr. R. Weir, who certainly left nothing undone towards adding anything to the pleasure and comfort of all present. The teachers present who took part in the various lessons were—Miss M. Hartry, Messrs. Bu- chanan, Montgomery, Strachan, Fra- ser, F. T. and W. E. Bryans. After Santa Claus had distributed his pres- ents to the pupils, all joined heartily in singing "God save the King." Thus the afternoon's proceedings were brought to a close. At S o'clock the entertainment opened, with Mr. C. E. Leppard of Gorrie in the chair, who filled the position in a very acceptable manner. The programme consisted of solos, recitations, dialogues, drills, tableaus, and chorus singing by the children. The programme was well selected, and everyone slid themselves justice, but we feel we must make special mention of the excellent selec- tions given by Messrs. Hanna and Wightman of Wingham; which were highly appreciated by all present, and those absent certainly missed a rare treat. The proceeds amounted to over $27, besides a large number of compli- mentary tickets, and all the pupils ad- mitted free, and will go towards add- ing more books to the library and a large flag. Mr. Weir and pupils are to be congratulated on their success ; all are unanimous that No. 4 does not do things by halves. 4. Turnberry. Mr. and Mrs. Belfour of Wolsley, N. W. T. are visiting Mrs. A. Belfoor. Mr. and Mrs. John Caseinore of Manistique, Mich., are visiting the former's parents. Mr. Thos.

Many Sodden Deaths Are traced to a heart that was neglected.
