How good it seems to behold our land laden with fruit again. Surely we have a rioh harvest for ourselves, if not for our pockets. Miss Anna Greenman intends starting tomorrow for Illinois, where she has been living for a uumber of years. Truly she is "Gentle Annie'' and we shall miss her.

E. Sabbath school of Willis anticípate going down beside the banks of the Oíd Hurón and enjoying a picnic on the Albert Day farm or flats. If not pleasant it will be held in Willis at the church parlors. Come one, come all, and make merry. It seems as though this weather was entirely too rnnch for correspondents'to correspond. For what few brains they have (or I have) have been simmered and cooked by old Sol. And it would really be refreshing to hear some one sing "From Greenland's icy mountains.

It's very unpleasant to say the least.
