The World Mourns the Loss Ad'

Sir John A. Macdonald died at
Earnscliffe on Saturday evening last
about half past ten, and in his demise
passes away Canada's greatest states-

whole country mourns her great loss,
and so long as the mother tongue is
spoken the name of Sir John A. Mac-

brightest sore Canada has ever produced.
As a political leader he Stood without
a peer, and during his long public car-
eer of nearly fifty years, he has won
the resPect and honor of even his most
bitter political opponents, as well as
the admiration and applause of his
collegues and• ,followers. Outside of

The -hot 'summer weat er
will very soon be upon us, and
it will then be the object of
every one to keep cool ; but
how ? That, is the question.
The condition of the mind
influences the condition of the
.body, and in order, therefore
to keep cool it is necessary
that the mind should be free
from worry and excitement.
But the clothing a person
wears has also a great deal to
do with keeping cool, ' and it
is this fact especially that we
desire to impress. •t We have
the goods required and it is to
our interest and t6 those
needing such goods that they
shouldknow it. To the
ladiesespecially we would. say
that our stock of shaker flan-
nels, Ants, muslins, lawns,
embroidered skirtings, summer
corsets, silk 'and lisle thread
lace mitts. everfast black cot-
ton and lisle thread hosiery
Oxford shoes, the famous
health brand underyests, and
numerous other articles suit-
able f1 that- weather', is com-
plete, well assorted and the
'prices right. If you do not
keep cool after this, it is not
our fault, as we are willing to
'do our• best.

.BRUCE CO ONTY COUNCIL
A PLEASNT WEEK IN LUCKNOW
The meeting of the Bruce. County
Council in Lucknow last week marked
a new era in the history of our village,
and the pleasant time spent here will
not soon be forgotten by the members
of that body. Too much praise can-
not be given our citizens and more
particularly the ladies, for the hearty
manner in which they entertained the
visitors, and it was the unanimous
opinion 'expressed by the officials and
members of the council- generally, -that
it was the most pleasant week ever
spent in, connection with the meetings
of the County Council. The banquet
on Tuesday was the finest gathering
of the kind ever given in the county,
and the many compliments paid to the
readby -'--life -' iii crit— sspea t s
showed that the efforts. of our citizens
were heartily appreciated. The drive
to Goderich to meet the County -coun-
cillors of Huron Was the crowning
event of the week, and the royal and
hearty reception tendered them by
Warden Beck and the other members
of Huron will not soon be forgotten
y the representatives „ from Bruce.
We are indebted to the genial editor
of the Goderich Signal, for the follow-
ing reference to ' the Goderich
reception :

AFTER TWENTY - FISIF YEARS.
THE COUNTY COUNCILS OF HURON AND
BRUCE FRATERNIZE.
'Twenty-five years ago the united
counties of Huron and Bruce, which
up to that time had been supervised by
a joint county council, separated for
county purposes, and since that time
no opportunity had occurred to enable
the representatives .of the two counties
to . meet and • exchange courtesies.
This year the county council of Bruce
held its June meetingin the live town
of Lucknow, and reeve Bryan of that
town, conceived the idea of having
the representatives from the "northern
county pay a fraternal visit to the
council of Huron, , which met at
Goderich the same • week.' A coni-
ruunication frotn Mr. Bryan ,to the
warden and council of Huron on the
subject was heartily responded to, and
on Thursdays of • last ••week the inen
from Bruce, headed 'by a brass band
drove to Huron's'county • seat. Here
they were met by warden Beck itnd
councillors of Huron, and a formal
ece.ption was . held in the' council
chamber, where Dr, Rollins, reeve of
Exeter; introduced the two councils to
each other, en 'bloc

THE BANQUET
at the Albion Hotel in the evening
was a crowded gathering and a most
enjoyable time was spent. Warden
Beck occupied the chair and .Dr.
Rollins filled the vice.chair. On the
Donald of Bruce, and mayor Butler
acted as left-hand . supporter. Our
space this week does not allow _us to
give the full report of the. addresses
which we had intended ; suffice to say
that the "feast of reason" was• most
complete and the exhibitions of oratory
proved conclusively that the arena of
county politics is an admirable train-
ing school for public speaking. Con-
spiuous, however, amongst those who
addressed the gathering were registrar
Dickson, of Huron, a former councillor
of the -united counties, and county
clerk .Gould, of Bruce, for, the past
twenty-five 'years an occupant of that
position and for five years previous to
that time provisional clerk of the
united counties. A feature of the
evening was to hear these Nestors talk
of. the "sweet long ago." Following is

The banquet broke up about twelve
o'clock and the Brucemen, after a very
pleasant drive, arrived back to Luck -
now between three and four in the
morning.
The various sittings of the county
council here were of the most, agree-
ablenature, and although a great
amount of business was transacted and
a good deal of discussion indulged in,
the best of good humor prevailed and
the June session of. 1891 will long be
remembered as,the most enjoyable
ever spent in te county of Bruce.
