Gintlemin:-
I have been radin in the county
papers, of racint date about coort
house removale. A lot of min, and
childer, who run these papers, have
been abusing Mr.. Farechile who looks
after our paper here. Now they are
not on the inside, or they would kape
their dirty prates to thimsilves. In the
first plase, we have bank of commerce
club over here that have raised one
hunder an fifty dollars and it is my
understanding that Mr.. Farechile, the
.foine man that he is, ian shure an he
tills me that all his ancisters cum frum
the ould sod) gifts half the Doodle an
Jerry Carracker gifts the other half to
place the buildings across the strate
from Dave illinbams. Sosyou see Mr..
Farechie is not to blame as he is very
wake from his long sickness and nades
the money; but l see nothing in the
rid shate the dimocrat paper run by
the lie man beyant, in Bathgate, an it's
wonder too, so it is, as the attorne
gineral of Cavalier, and some of the
lading min, were very much opposed
forninst Wilson at the last gineral
illecton air tried to bate him outn his
job. Frid Farrer of our town was to
git the plum and phat pity he didn't!
Phat dash Frid would have cut down
at Bismark, with the ladies and
would mt he have made foine runnln
mate for the govrner; for the Bathgate
lie man, he's so thin he'd put you in
molnd of a shingle with two matches
stuck onto its other ind for ligs. But
niver .moind, its the sthill SOW that
ginerally gifts the schwill. I can't till
phat they want the coort buildings
over here for. We farmers niver 60 to
Pembinaw at all, at all. For tin cints
we can pay our tacks dues my tonne.
We have two foine banks in Cavalier If
you want to borrow few dollars you

five day trip to reach the county seat
and travelling somewhere near l76 miles

five day trip to reach the county seat
each way" s
We have been wondering since we
read the above article why Mr.. Sub
s.riber didn't drive over to Cry stal
about eight or ten miles and take the
Walhalla branch to Grafton and save a
few of the above miles, But as he
twice informs us ''the weather was
very severe, hence 1T was perhaps SO
stormy that he couldn't drive to Crystal.
But if that was the case then he could
not have driven 30 miles to Cavalier and
would have still been compelled to go
around by the Forks to reach that city
1t his business had called him there
that particular day instead of at Penn.
bina.
The time taken to come by train to
Pembina is largely matter of time
tables on the different roads just as it
would be if the county seat were at
Cavalier. Few people would ever drive
to Cavalier from a distance even if it
were made the county seat if they
could get there by train. Up to last
fall Walhalla people could come to
Pembna and return the same day, and
when the Midland road is built it will
be hard for the railways to arrange any
disconnections but what anyone can
get here and back on the same day.

The St. Thomas Times in a well
written editorial 5lames the county
seat agitation for the apparent paucity
of candidate for county Office. Well, ii
does make it rather awkward for a
candidate who wants all votes on both
sides Of the line to be asked, "which
town he favors for county seal? if he
is man Of truth. However, it wi cut
no figure with the candidates for legis-
lative honors and a prospective senator
OF the second district has apparently
already expressed his olinion on the
subject without danger Of prejudice. ~
But we still wonder i he will get his
pottage from Cavalier. <s.3

communication in which the phraseol-

TINS letter is from real farmer and an
Irish one at that. And there is lot of
real wit in it too, that is unmistakably
Irish.

QUEER CHURCH IN GUIANA
its ROOF 10 Of Paper, its Bells Two
Metal Jars, its Pulpit . Barrel
and Altar q Box

Churches are always one OF tho
sights" Of a place. usually because
they are either antique or because
Of their beauty. But in out-of-the'way
corners of the world the local churches
are sometimes Well worth seeing for
their curiosity.
Thus, in one of the gold districts OF
Demerara. British Guiana, there Is
little church which boasts a paper
roof. The bells are merely two empty
metal Jars, which arc struck with an
iron rod. An empty -four barrel
makes an effective pulpit. while the
altar 10 constructed from a box Gov
cred with q white cloth.
The minister who oficiates at this
quaint place Of worship also holds
services at another. about three miles
away. which is equally curious. 1t Is
really \ dancing hall. The pulpit Is q
table. used at other times as plat
form hy the musicians. and the bell is
triangular piece Of steel. struck
with an old horseshoe.
