The fire was evidently of incendiary origin as there was no person living on the pla,ce at the time. Mr. David Row- cliffe had been renting the farm and it was only a short time ago that he threshed.

Mysteriously' Disappeared. Edgar Down, 0 young man who taught school near Whalen, has myS. teriously dissappeared froni that neigh- borhood and his whereabouts has not since be learned, His duties at the school commenced after the nuid-Sua- mer holidays and he continued to teach up to Friday, skugust 30th: Be- fore leaving the school that evening he asked the scholars to be in atten- ance the following Monday (Labor Day) he wished to make good the day as they had lost some little time previous. The children obeyed his'i.es quest and went to the school Monday morning but to' their StIrtiriSe the teacher did not put in appearalice. They went home that day and retinal- ! ed again on Tuesday but as in the I day previous their teacher *as sfill missing. It was now evident that all was not right and inquiries were al once made but the whereabouts of the missing pedagogue is still a mystery.

The Rev. Dwight Marvin, of Brook- lyn,makes it plain why churches should pay for their advertising. In a discus- siou of the subject he say's: "There should be honor in churches. The church is no charitable institution, beg- ging for worldly patronage, asking for support and giving nothing in return. It is God's earthly business centre, where he bestows upon man the cr,reat- est gifts. Some churches make them- selves repulsive to straightforward clear-headed business men beemise of their methods. They are small and degrading.. If a church society gives an entertainment and sells tickets, re- turning an equivalent for that which is charged, it aet$ in a business -like way and does nothing that it need be ashamed of. But when it forces tick- ets on business men on pain of losing trade, it simply goes into the black- mailing business and deserves to re- ceive the condemnation of the com- munity. It should be thoroughly un- derstood that the publisher of a pa- per is under no obligation to adver- tise the church without pay and spread its fame and receive therefrom only criticism. As a vendor of news and an educator of the people he is under obligation to tellthe news, speak the truth and teach morality, but that does not put him under bonds to print paragraphs lauding the minor activi- ties of the church. awevwcA9 -,vit,A.AAnximmaumma- a PERSONAL. iiieVasSe fakeZ Mr. W.O.

"A couple of weeks ago one of those smooth individuals Who make a good living out of the credulity of the inno- cent ones, worked one of the many cloth fakes with considerable success in this neighborhood. He did it some- thing after this fashion. He would drive into a farmer's 'place, and pro- ceeded to sell him a bill of goods,which must not'be less than $27, and as an inducement to buy,persons purchasing cloth to this amount 'were to becoMe members of an association backed up by the Govermnent. The benefits of membership in the association greatly' enhanced prices for butter and eggs. A bold storage car was t® be in Sea - forth on Aug. 15th, but, hy the way, it has not arrived up to date. The members were to bring their buttbt and eggs direct to the car and would there receive at least five cents a dozen more for their eggs and 'about that much more a pound for their butter than was being paid at the stores. This story seemed to be good bait. A numberof people, more than care to say anything about it, gave their notes for $27 or more, got a bundle of cloth and are still waiting for the cold stor- age car and the big prices for their produce. Mr. Peddler didn't do any waking, however, he discounted the notes at the local banks and left for pastures new. The cloth may 1)0'01. right and it niaY not. But there is no donbt aboutthe fact that the persons bitten could have got the same mater- ial for considerably less money at imy of the stores in Seaforth, and would beside have had the satisfaction ' of knowing everything was all right. When will people learn that they can never get something for nothing, and that if they want, to get honest goods at fair prices they must patronize merchants,who have. a reputation to sustain and consequently cannot af- ford to resort to any fake 'stories to sell ,their goods? We can assure the fanners that if they will bring their produce to Seaforth, they will he able to dispose of it at the best price possi- ble forthe dealers to pay, and that in return for their -money will get good goods at right prices. Give the fakir the cold shoulder and patronize honest merchants.
