MUST Ruse ON Tack.— According to
the new order of rules in vogue on the
G. T. R., all passenger trains must run
on time, or a good reason'be given by
i those in charge of the trains why time
lhad been lost. This order accounts for
the record-breaking in fast train run-
ping, which occurs almost daily on this
southern section of the system. If the
locomotive of any passenger train is
not capable of running on time, an-
other is put in its place. The same
rule applies to the engineer who fails
to keep scheduled time. Should a train
be detained by late connections, all
efforts must be made to make up the
lost time, and arrive at the terminal
point on time.

HIGHLY ' STEE1 ED, -- Prior to Isis
departure for his new charge in Ot-
tawa, the citizens of Mount Forest,
paid a lasting tribute to their pastor,
Rev, D. M. Ramsay and his estimable
wife. The Presbyterians and other
friends tendered them an entertainment
in the Presbyterian church, at which
many of the most prominent citizens
spoke, regretting Mr, Ramsay's de-
parture from their midst. At Bethel
a charge distant a few miles from Mt.,
Forest, Mr. Ramsay was pre-
sented with a valuable gold
watch and chain by the Presbyterian
congregation. The members of the
infant class of the Presbyterian S. S.,
Mrs. (Rev.) Ramsay, teacher, waited
upon her at the manse, Mt. Forest, on
Thursday night last and presented her
with a pretty gilt clock as a memento
of their appreciation of her labors.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE. ---Those
who attended the lecture in James
street church, by ex-Sergt. Major
Schoof, of the Bechuana Mounted
Police, enjoyed it veryrnuch. On Mon-
day evening he spoke on African
matters generally as be saw them dur-
ing his term of service, andon Tuesday
gave a most interesting recital of the
Boer controversy in theTransvaal and
the Jamieson raid now attracting so
much attention. The lecturer makes
no pretence of oratory, but gives in a
plain and very interesting conversat-
ional way descriptions of the scenery,
people, customs and recent important
events in that part of the Dark Con-
tinent,where he was for some years in
an excellent position to observe and
learn. He has a large collection of
African and othercurios,includingwar
implements, armour, skins of animals,
articles of dress, etc., all of which were
deeply interesting to the audience.
Thu PUBLIC HE�.—The public
is warned against dark, damp and
unventilated cellars. Even when free
from decomposing matter they are
full of foul air which will find its way
into the occupied parts of the building.
Keep your cellar windows open and
allow free entrance to sunlight and
fresh air, the two great purifiers and
disinfectors. No person who has any
regard for the health of himself or
others, should for a day allow in his
house, office or place of business any
bath basin, sink or other contrivance to
which a pipe is attached connecting it
with a sewer or under ground re-
ceptacle unless the same is properly
trapped and vented. During the last
few years cases of lingering illness
and deaths can be traced directly to
this source, and yet today scores of
these deadly, machines continue
breathing out their poisonous vapors
into our hotels, houses and shops.
Beware of cavities into which neither
light nor air can enter. Remember,
unvented water traps are a delusion.
SABBATH Smoot., ' Ax NivEnsaitv.—
The anniversary of Main Street S. S.
took place on Sunday and Monday,
Rev. W. E. Kerr, of Hensall, rendered
good service throughout. Sunday
morning his address was more par-
ticularly to the children, basing his re-
marks on John 12-32 ; "And I, if r be
lifted up from the earth, will draw all
men unto me," giving a very interest-
ing object lesson showing how Christ
was able to draw all conditions of man-
kind unto Him. In the afternoon
there was a mass meeting, when ad-
dresses were given by Rev'el's Kerr,
Locke and others. Reports were read,
showing a marked increase in every
branch of the S. S. work, with a bal-
ance of $1.00 in the treasury after all
periodicals, etc., were paid for; with
that amount and the proceeds of the
tea on Monday, which was a financial
success, the officers expect to pay off
the indebtedness incurred in the pur-
chase of the new library. A very
pleasant time was spent on Monday
evening, the tea and program being
equal to the average of such occasions:
Besides others who gave splendid
selections, Rev,
Mr. Kerr proved him-
self
self quite an entertainer, giving two
recitations and a solo in excellent style.
Still another of the pioneers has
,
been called a •\.i� by the grim reaper

Welsh, relict of the late Richard
Welsh: Deceased who has been ill

monthsTie memberse family

The editor of the Geneva; N. Y.,
Courier, in a recent issue, puts in a
protest against the too common lack of
appreciation of What the newspapers
are doing for the churches, on the part
of pastors and church, officers. While
recognizing the fact that it is the
newspaper's duty, in all cases, to print
church news as well as anyother
kind t t it is proper to
use,
the
Courier truly says it frequently
happens that, though the ' newspaper
continually prints notices of valiii; to
the work and life of the church, a nice
sense is sometimes lacking ou the part
of those who have to place printing
and advertising for the churches, who
often take into a job printing office
not connected with a newspaper.

The death occurred Friday night of
Mr. Benjamin Ruston, of the Verity
Plow works, Brantford. Deceased
who was only 41 years of age, was ill
only a short time from pneumonia,
He was one of the Verity Plow Co's
valued employees, having gone there
'with them from Exeter. He was also
an elder in the First Presbyterian
Church, A wife and four children are
left to mourn his loss. He was a mem-
ber of the local lodge of the Indepen-
dent Order of Oddfellows.
This section of the country has been
flooded latelywith spring circulars and
price lists from the I. Eaton Co.,
Toronto. A glance at the tables in the
post office some afternoons after the
mail bags are opened gives the spect-
ator some idea of the extent to which
this branch of advertising is. carried
on. Very few names on the voters'
list but have been honored with one.
Do those who receive these ever think
who pays 'for the enormous quantity
of matter that is thus sent out ? Un-
fortunately for the business of our
town we learn that many of the order
sheets contained in these catalogues
find their way back to Toronto con-
taining cash that the remitters owe to
the business men of the town. This is
not only disloyal to the town but is
positively fraud ori our merchants. Do
your trading at home. Support those
who support you, who help to main
tarn your• streets, keep up your schools
and churches, pay taxes, and add to
the material wealth and prosperity of
the place.
