TIE first regular meeting for work OH
the course of study by the G. L. S. Z. was
held last Friday evening at Mr.. G. w.
Ryan's. Roman history was the subject
taken up. Most of the circle participated
freely in the exercises of the evening.
The subject Of Roman history proved
exceedingly interesting as one and
another offered their gleanings from the
weeks work, or questioned each other in
an informal manner, to draw out leading
points. All were delighted with the
first evenings experience of q. L. S. G..
The general impression of those who
have taken up the course is that while
there is considerable work requiredlthere
are more interest and enjoyment con-
nectcd with the meetings than they
expected. The scheme is doubtless the
best ever devised for making the ac-
QUESTION of knowledge pleasurable. The
next meeting will be held at Mr..
Cavileer's, this, Friday evening at 1880,

ers towards our market for wheat this
year. Other merchants corroborate this.
This is partly owing to our free ferry,
partly to our improved facilities for
handling wheat and partly to the
generally improved demand for wheat at
the primary markets. If our Touring
mill could only be got into operation it
would still further stimulate business in
town-and why mill so well equipped
should be allowed to stand idle SO long
nobody seems to exactly know. Speak
ing Of the market, the demand for pro-
duce in general has been very good this
year so far.

One of our school Biographies is
authority for the statement that Bologna,
Italy, is noted for its dogs and sausages.
In this connection it may he remarked
that unless some cdict or cpidemicg greatly
thins the canine ranks in Pembina, our
town will be noted for its dogs, at least.
For that matter our butchers make first
rate sausages, although we have no idea
that these two facts have any necessary
connection. There is certainly no room
for suspicion on this point, while so
many useless ours roam everywhere
unmolested.
