ton being on the proposed line of rail-
way to be built by the Canadian Pacific
railway Co. from Guelph to Goderich.
A surveyor and an engineer were here
lest week looking over the proposed
road. They were very favorably Inv
pressed with the country and the pros-
pects, and if they get certain induce-
ment, they will push the road through
shortly. It will be a good thing for this
Notion, and much needed ,,.,Mies E.

by the roadside. Apart from giving the
roads a neater and more tidy appear-

WEST WAWANOSH.
Prom—Mr. W. J. McIntyre has been
appointed general agent in this town-
ship for the Sawyer Q Massey Co., of
Hamilton. He succeeds Mr. John Grif-
fin, who was a faithful agent for many
yeare. Mr. McIntyre was with the firm
10 or 12 years previously, so that he is
by no means new to the business. and
should prove successful.... Mr, Henry
Tisdale, who has been teaching school
in North Dakota for the past few years,
has returned home for a short visit..,.
Statute labor has been the order of the
day in this township. The carelessness
of some pethutaeters is easily seen.
While some have used the garden rake
and removed all the large stones from
each load, and then covered theta with
the tine gravel of the following one,
others have left them exposed, in pass-
ing over which we are reminded of the
old crossways of a bygone age. The
question often discussed is whether to
commute statute labor or not, The
small amount of labor performed in
some parte causes some to favor com-
muting the labor. The failure of public
contractors to perform their contracts
acoording to agreement, the careless-
ness of township officials in guarding
the public purse on these occasions
while some contractors aro so forgetful
where they procured the material as to
fail in making the necessary visit after
the contract is taken off their hands,
cause the doubt whether we would be
any better.

Satre,—We clip the following from a
Ciucinnatti paper of a reoent date:
"Cards are out announcing the mar-
riage of Miss Frances Hobelmen, the
handsome daughter of lir, and Mrs.
Charles P. Hobelrnan, of Avondale, and
Dr. Edward G. McCassev, on June 10th, b
at nine a.m., at Sr. Xavier church.
They are both well known in St, Xavier
parieh, the doctor being a member of
the Elks Knights of ColumLue and
numerous other societies." The pros-
pective bridegroom mentioned here was
a one-time resident of Belgrave and left
here some years ago to seek Itis for-
tune in the United States, and where
he has won both fame and fortune, His
many old friends in this section join in
wishing him every success in his new
undertaking The English church
congregation at Belgrave have decided
to improve their church building. A
new stone foundation has already been
laid. The building le to he bricked
throughout and a new channel added,
with vestry room on one side and Sun-
day school library room on the other,
The inside of the church is to be finished
in narrow -beaded wood -work instead of
plaster. There will probably be new
seats and other improvements, the
whole to cost in the neighborhood of
1900 or 11000. The congregation is to
congratulated on its zeal and enterprise.
Mr. Richard Proctor and the rector,
Rev. J. Edmonds, were around last
week soliciting subscriptions and they
succeeded in getting nearly the whole
amount subscribed. It is expected that
the re-openiug services will be held in
October.
