THAT EARLY TEAIN. The early-train-frozn-London appeals to the citizens of the different places along the L., H. 4 B., hut there is not such enthusiasm as the Free Press affects to believe. The New Record would like to see an earlier service from tnd south, but does not think the traffic of such dimensions that two morning Northbound trains • would pay,hence does not join in any petition to G. T. R. for an extra train. THE TOWN COUNCIL. ' The town council on nienday night decided to purchase a Split Log Drag •or rather it delegated authority to the street committee to buy if it saw fit and as the members there of are good roads enthusiasts there is little doubt but that the purchase will be made. How is one of .these Drags made? Split a log in two, ar- range the parts on an acute angle with a creisearm and a •little plat- form for thedriver, and there you have it The cost .is about twen- ty dollars and . as a contriv- ance for levelling up and crown- ing mud •streets it has the road machine beat three ways. It's ,sira- plicity is, no doubt why it has not been more generally adopted in -this part of the province. It is not, of course, intended for gravel roads:.

According to it the Company may charge public a buildings and churches 10 create per 1000 killowath, and other users . as e =oh as 12 eents, per 1000, The Come pany contend that public buildings and churches which use large quariti- ties of Iight at limited periods should) pa)t. the higher rate, but in order to a arrive at an arrangement with the 11 committee rade the price Inc. They also contend that person e who use i electricity as an auraniary to a gas- b aline service should pay a higher rate f than the regular users.

In all probability a tuberculosis hospital" will be erected in Huron county ere long, and even now there is concern manifested as to its loca- tion.

This may not be an age of miracles, but that there were not fatalities at the Doherty sawmill on Saturday last seems almost miraculous, Just a few minutes before noon the governor belt broke and* the engine "ran away." The engineer was at the "fire hole" at the, time se :did no see what had happened but the saw- yer, Mr. Pennabaker, did and in about three seconds he was at the throttle and had shut off steam. But almost as he did so the big fly wheel broke and the pieces were scattered in all directions. Some of them went through the upper floor where the men were at work, just over the en- gine. To them at least their escape seeras a miracle. Other portions of the wheel only missed Mr. Penne- baker by a few inebes and one big piece was found two 'hundred yards away. The men* employed in the mill at the time were : H: Pennabaker, Dom- inick Reynolds, Wm, Marshall, Erne Brown, Ti ShiPien, John Rands, J. Freeman and H. Glazier. Shipley and 'Bro wn sustained slight cuts no s doubt caused by flying 'splinters.

The concert given under the aus piece of the Woman's Association' of Willis church by `the Balmoral Con- cert Company on Tuesday evening was very euccessful, and much ernjoy- ed. - The program was excellent throughout though not carried otrt quite as advertised, owing to the fact that Miss Elsie Dixon Craig was not present, had not been with the company for sonic weeks, as Mr. Neil explained at the beginnibg. Tho singing by Miss Grant, who is des- cribed as "The Scottish IVIelba," was much anpreciated. Her rendering of "Blue Bonnets Ovei,',nlie E3order," and her part in the thane with Mr. Neil, were especially pleasing, Mr. Neil has a fine tenor voice and was very generous in the way of encores, be- ing warmly applauded each time he appeared. Mr, Neil besides several Scotch songs, gave one Irish and one Canadian song, both of which were well received. Miss Craig's part as entertainer was taken by Mr. Fred. Barclay, te ninny little man with a broad Scotch tongue, who kept the house in gales of laughter all the time he was upon the stage, and who was recalled a- gain and again, Most of his jokes were old and his acting twae not very .original, but lic•was funny and com- pelled your laughter in spite of your - "Lc.. k.

This may not be an age of miracles, but that there were not fatalities at the Doherty sawmill on Saturday last seems almost miraculous, Just a few minutes before noon the governor belt broke and* the engine "ran away." The engineer was at the "fire hole" at the, time se :did no see what had happened but the saw- yer, Mr. Pennabaker, did and in about three seconds he was at the throttle and had shut off steam. But almost as he did so the big fly wheel broke and the pieces were scattered in all directions. Some of them went through the upper floor where the men were at work, just over the en- gine. To them at least their escape seeras a miracle. Other portions of the wheel only missed Mr. Penne- baker by a few inebes and one big piece was found two 'hundred yards away. The men* employed in the mill at the time were : H: Pennabaker, Dom- inick Reynolds, Wm, Marshall, Erne Brown, Ti ShiPien, John Rands, J. Freeman and H. Glazier. Shipley and 'Bro wn sustained slight cuts no s doubt caused by flying 'splinters.

Tho singing by Miss Grant, who is des- cribed as "The Scottish IVIelba," was much anpreciated. Her rendering of "Blue Bonnets Ovei,',nlie E3order," and her part in the thane with Mr. Neil, were especially pleasing, Mr. Neil has a fine tenor voice and was very generous in the way of encores, be- ing warmly applauded each time he appeared. Mr, Neil besides several Scotch songs, gave one Irish and one Canadian song, both of which were well received. Miss Craig's part as entertainer was taken by Mr. Fred. Barclay, te ninny little man with a broad Scotch tongue, who kept the house in gales of laughter all the time he was upon the stage, and who was recalled a- gain and again, Most of his jokes were old and his acting twae not very .original, but lic•was funny and com- pelled your laughter in spite of your - "Lc.. k.
