Dear Brother •and Sister Front
The sorrow thatt your departure causes
Us we are not able fully to express,
neither by Words nor acts. The sep-
arationthat is oboist to take place is
very painful to us as a church. We
had never thought of such n thing as
you and Mrs, Prout leaving ns; it
came so suddenly upon us that we can
scarcely yet realize that, it is true.
However, we believe that Providenee
has so ordered it, but why we do not
know, We cannot tell. His kind provi-
dences are sometimes dark and absent*
to us, yet We know that he doeth all
things Well ; that all things work to-
gether for good to them that love God."
Dear bt other and sister,we could not let
this event pass without expressing our
feelings, emotions and thoughts to you
or by plainly saying that our affection
for you as co.workers with us is very
strong, and we hope ever shall
be until we are called to love and act
in it new and eternal sphere. We need
not, tell you, for you knowss--you know
iri part at least -how much we have
appreciated your faithful life, your.
Christ -like spirit, yoar Christian in-
fluence, youe .consectitted activity,
your prayers and efforts with us for
the glory of our common Lord and
Master, -for the up.building of His
cause ard for the salvation of lost and
perishing humanity Be assured of
this, dear. friends, that our sorrow on
this occasion will not hinder us front
expressing out best wishes for you and
your family. And we sincerely hope -
yes, we are sure -that you will just be
as true and faithful and consecrated in
your new sphere of labor as you have
been with us. Before leaving us
Would you kindly accept of this small

Wm. Cudmore and sons of Kippen,
known as the Hay Kings, have two of
their presses in full operation in this
vicinity. They have bought the sur-
plus hay that fanners had to dispose
of. Each one of these improved press-
' es, with the skilled labor employed,
balesfrom eight to ten tons per day of
uniform size to fit, cars and steamships
without loss of space. This firm, now
the largest exporters in Canada in the
hay trade, have shipped over 5,000 tons
the last six months from this county,
alone representing $30,000 put -in circu-
lation amongst oue farmers. The priu
clot maeketts are Glasgow, Liverpool
and London and ecome has even reach-
ed South Africa, through their Old
Country agents. This firm reports af-
ter long and anxious work that they
have at last established a trade by
shipping none but the best that will
ensure for the faraners ready sale at.
renumerative prices as well as a liv-
ing profit. Pluck and enterprise telt
in the end
Gilbert Dick and his calf sale under-
taking proved quite a success. A car-
load of 40 arrived, at Kt ppen station and
was disposed of the same day at prices
ranging from 83 to $5 each, supplying
it want tbat otherwise could not have
been done. The times have changed.
Our friends, tbe McMillan family, used
to tell the farntera about the benefits
of haying Reformers in ; they stood so
with the Americans that they took off
the duty on calves to supply a market
for Canadian farmers, something the
Tories could. not get, for them. Web
the &enters have been very ungrateful.
They have turned their backs on both
Jobe and his calf market and doing
something for thentselves instead of
our cousins.
The local Conservative Association
has been getting in sbape -lately, re-
