Frames of Iron
The Luckno .v Caledonian gathering `
events in the \world of manly sports.
The tug of war between Huron and
Bruce was really an historic event,
..one which in old Greece would have
been the theme of a poem. The strain
of a tug of war it tremendous, and
only men who are sound in muscle,
nerve and heart can eiigsge in it with
safety. Five or ten minutes' pulling
is quite enough for the ordinary man.
The men who could tug at the ripe'
for an hour and a quarter must have
been endowed with frames of iron, and
better still, with splendid courage and
power of 'endurance. ,Huron and
Bruce have reason to be proud of their

officers—nine women and seven men —
have been appointed •to make a weekly

Curers o' agricultural machinery have
decided to forego the custom of exhibit-
ing their manufactures at fall fairs and
have so instructed their agents. They
find in newspaper advertising a more
judicious method of bringing their
machinery before the farming com-

Admission 15 Cents
The admission to the Fall Show of
the Kinloss Branch Agricultural
Society this year is 15 cents, the same
as .last .year. Let everybody come and
see the best show ever held by the
Society. Remember, the'admisson is

A Direct Mail
Some time ago we published a para-
graph stating that the Government
had• refused to comply with a petition
asking for a direct mail between Luck -
now and St. Helen's, but we have
since been informed that the natter
has not been decided, as no„ official
notice has yet been received by • the
parties asking for the change. A
direct daily mail between the two
places would be a great convenience,
especially to the people of St. Helens,
and it is a pity the Authorities at
Ottawa have-not ere this seen tit to
grant the prayer cif the 'petitioners.
The change is greatly needed and as
there will be no extra expense in
carrying the mails over the present
pandit -are, wese-e--no -reason velay-tine-
Government should not comply with x,
-that owing to the great mail
and demand'for the verylies of
goods we had ordered in dress
goods and mantlings. We were
compelled by pressure of ord,crs
ahead to wait one week behind
order and its
a: fulfilment -hence

A Spicy paper
The first issue of the new Tri -Weekly
Suit, issued by Mr. Joseph Lang, att
(�wen_,�'rnlnr� appeared last week, and
is a .neat, spicy paper, brim full of
lively articles of local ,and general
interest. It' is just such a paper as
we would expect from the able pen of
Brother Lang, and if Owen Sound and
her interest. don't boom in the • near
future, the fault will not ,rest on the.
' Sun. May its briglitness.never grow
dim. .
Commenced Operations.
Messrs. Cliff & Forster have already
commenced operations on the new
buildings, in compliance witli•the coo-
cditions of the by-law, and the work
will be pushed through as rapidly (as
possible in order CO be ready for the
late -fall and • winter trade. The
factory. is now being run to its full
present capacity, but the work can
scarcely be turned out fast ,enough to
fill the large orders coming is 'for
furniture. Their goods are void ,in
nearly every city and town in tlie
Dominion, and are giving.; good satis-
faction.
