B.—Try our Teas, black, green and Japan, all prices. And remember we sell best granulated sugar 21 lbs for a dollar or 41c per lb. WideAwake Buyers will find our 'store, full of big, brilliant bargains. We have got the stock of the season and for . the season. The verdict of the people is that Brumpton's stock of ready made clothing, is simply immense. We have any quantity of it, any. ,quality of it, and we want to sell it and more than that we are going to sell it. Good clothing at low prices is what tells. What is the use of paying a tailor five dollars for making and three dollars for trhnming a boy's suit when you can buy Readytnade that will fit all over and not touch. any place, and wear the boy,out, for half the money at Brumpton's. ' AVe do the ready made clothing trade simply because we carry the stock to do it with. We make this branch a specialty, buy it 'right and sell at a small mar gain. As a rule sugars advance before • fruit season, and there is no reason this season be, an exceptionao others. Now is the time to take advantage 91 the exceptional' low • figures. We quote 4i for tl.edpath's Standard graulated, and 31.. for light coffee suyar. We have a large quantity still in stock and will be pleased to supply all who require it either in small' quantities or by the hundred weight or barrels. ' A. barrel only costs about fourteen dollars at those figures. The ,wool seas* willsoon he- here.

T. Davison is in Montreal this week attending the' annual meeting of the Supreme Orange Grand Lodge of British North America., Seriously 111 His many friends in Lucknow and vicinity will be sorry to learn that Mr George Kerr, of Brantford and former- ly merchant of this village, was suddenly seized . with paralysis this week and now lies in a very critical condition. Mutilated Coins The number of mutilated silver coins in circulation now is being freely commented upon by merchants and others. Scores of 10, 25 and 50 -cent pieces have large holes in them, and some of the coins have pieces nipped off their edges. It is thought that somebody is in the business of making money by the punching and clipping process. Lucknow Woollen Mills Messrs Lees and Douglas, of the Lucknow Woollen Mills, have again issued their annual circular to the farmers of Bruce and Huron counties. This old established firm is 'spared, as formerly, to pay the highimarket price for this season's wool, ,and also to do custom work in all its branches. They have always in stock, full lines ;of blankets, tweeds, flannels, stocking yarns, etc., and invite the inspection' of intending purchasers. Cheap Eggs The Clinton New Era says :—The merchants here are now paying 6'iCents per lb. for eggs. Mr. Wilson, of Sea - forth, made the remark here, on Tues- day, that if the McKinley tariff were off he would at once pav 12 cents per dozen for eggs. People who vainly suppose that there is "big money" in theexport of eggs to Great Britain will be interested in knowing that on a single shipment made last year—and under apparently favorable circum- stances. Mr. Wilson had the misfor- tune to drop $1,500. A Word to Horseman A correspondent from New Glasgow N. S., to the Canadian Sportsman, signed himself "Standard -bred" in speaking of Mr. Grand's great sale of horses in Torohto recently, says it , should be a middling pointer for the farmer how to breed harness horses for profit, as the first offering of fifty- seven head totalled $21,695, being the magnificent average of • $380 each. Owners of trotting bred mares, unless they are producers of more than common speed, it seems from the way prices are going just now, would not make a mistake in matching them to good thoroughbred, and good half or three-quarter bred, running mares bred to first class troting horses shrnild pro- duce equally profitable market stock. Hymeneal The Goderich Star, in referring to. the marriage of two former well-known Lucknowites says "On' Wednesday evening, May 18, a very interesting ceremony, consisting of the marriage of Mr. A. B..Davison to Miss. E. Mc- Kinnon, was preformed at the Tesi- dence of N.`McKinnon, Esq., West St., in the presence of nearly forty guests. The contracting parties were supported by Miss Grant and Mr. I), McBrien, while the wedding march' was being played by Miss Crabb, took their po- siti;n under a large bell beautifully decorated with evergreens and roses. The ceremony was preformed by the Rev. J.'`Anderson, B. A. The bride, was neatly and elegantly attired, wear- ing a beautiful wreath and flowing wedding veil. The bridesmaid looked very pretty in her heat and becoming attire. After the ceremony the party sat down to a sumptuous supper in the large dinning room, which was beautifully decorated fur the occasion. The presents were numerous', costly and useful., A very enjoyable evening was spent, incl at a late hour the guests departed wishing the newly hnarrwii ((uirle nonlh ,joy grad happiness their new rplationshilfl. Fruit prospects. The orchards in this section never showed better prospects for a tremen- dous fruit crop • than at the present time. Fruit trees of every descrip- tion are leaded with blossom&.aizd...iL no frosts comes the harvest will be the largest ever known. J A Rare Bird � Dr, Tennant has in his office a very rare specie of bird, and one seldom seen in this section of Canada. It is called the "Least Bittern", and was captured in an apple tree on the'farm of Mr. David Carruthers, of Kinloss, by one of his sons about a week ago. The Dr, intends having it mounted. It will make a good acquisition to his air t t1y lame collection of native bird. West Bruce Reformers The West Bruce Reform association will hold its annual meeting in the town hall, Kincardine, on Friday afternoon, 17th June, The meeting hasbeen called by A. Malcolm, presi- dent, and Wm. Henderson, secretary. So says the Reporter. As the county council is meeting on that date it would be much more convenient to the members of that body if the conven- tion was held a week later. About Letters In nis annual report lately issued the Postmaster General says : As some misunderstanding appears to •exist with respect to request letters, it may be well to state that only those letters mailed in Cinada and addressed to places in Dominion, upon which is printed a .request that they may ;be returned to the address given if not delivered within a specified time, can be regarded as request letters and be returned to the writer without going to the Dead Letter office. Letters having the printed address of the sender thereon, but without a specific request to return if not delivered with- in a certain time, cannot be 'treated as request letters. Such letters will, however, be returned unopened from the Dead Letter office. • Green Goods A prominent business man in the, village received this 'veek a circular from a New York "green goods" man, that for unadulterated gall caps" any - . thing, we have ever seen. It is entirely different from the old style of circular sent out by this class of swindlers, and is so ingeniously and plausably worded that even a pretty shrewd man, if he is inclined to be dishonest, may be caught by its tempting bait. It is a fraud of the worst description. The polished scoundrel closes the circular with the following caution : P. S.—.I request as a favor, never to write me a letter, as I shall positively refuse to receive it, a letter is damaging evidence "in all cases for both parties, and especially so in this.—Simply send me a telegram to E. Johnson, 1356 Fifth . Ave., New, York City, N. Y., and say "all right" and sign your full name and post office address to it. Lucknow Dramatic Company A meeting of the young `men of the village was held in H. Morrison's law office on Monday, May 30th, for the purpose of organizing a Dramatic Company for for the village.

A 'notion was passed that the minutes be sent to the SENTINEL for.publication. J. S. Tennant, Pres. NV. R.Willis,Sec A Big Swindle Considerable excitement prevails among the . farniers of Huron and Perth counties over the doings of a sharper.
