SAYS the Hastings (Mich.) Democrat:
"It is the weekly journal and not the me-
tropolitan daily that educates the masses
ofthe people of this country. And more,
it has become an all absorbing and lead
ing instrumentality in the onward move
ments of the world. It is reported Of
Daniel Webster that he said that he
never read the daily newspapers; first,
because he had no spare time for it; and
second, because the gossipy news with
which they were chiefly filled was of no
value to him."
UNDOUBTEDLY one of the enterprises
that will,spring up in this town in the
near future is a lumber mill. But since
saw mill is as much needed now as it
ever will be, and considering that such an
enterprise would give another impetus to
our town, why should not the business
men of Penbina take hold of the project
without delay? There could be no better
time to get the thing started than on the
high tide of a successful harvest. sThere
is tide in the affairs of men," you know,
etc.

A HEAVY shower passed over this town
Wednesday evening. The lightning was
brilliant and came pretty close. Hail &C.
companied the rain, and little to the
west of town,we understand, quite little
damage was done. Mr.. Goodfellow had
few acres of wheat badly damaged, 9TH
er crops in the vicinity being also consid-
erably injured. Mr.. Nelson reports that
the hail made lively racket around his
place, doing pretty heavy damage to his
crop and garden. Since writing the
above we learn that MIR. George Grogan
had large field of barley, west of town,
nearly destroyed by the hail, and Mr..
Duy had his garden badly injured.
