We understand that our friend of Gillarri is a believer in the doctrine that the world is getting worse. We are surprised that our literary friend is an exponent of this theory. Gillam may be getting worse, year by year, but we wish to say that Kankakee township is continually growing better. To prove this I wish to say that this township has no more use for a lawyer than a turkey gobbler has for chewing gum. We consider a lawyer an unnecessary quantity in higher civilization. Lawyers may be necessary in Gillam, but not in the country oi which Dunnville is the capital. There is no cough medicine so popular as Folev's Honey and Tar. It contains no opiates or poisons and never fails to cure. Sold by A. F. Long.

It is reported that on Wednesday, while Superintendent Hamilton was visiting a certain school in Barkley, the teacher of said sdbool got into trouble with one of her boy pupils, about speaking a piece. The boy did not have his piece learned very good, so the teacher expelled him from school until he should learn it, and when he left the school room he did not go out as orderly as he should, whereupon Mr. Hamilton decided to speak his piece, and of course he did not speak very well of the boy’s conduct. And, perhaps it was not of the best, but we wonder if Mr. Hamilton has forgot that he was a boy once upon a time, and if reports are true he was just about as bad a pill as there was in the box. Ob! Well. It is an old saying that bad boys make good men, and that is something to be proud of in this day and age of the world.
