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.

We want to get two car loads and are

Attending Grand Lodge
County la Rater A. 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. The follow-
ing officers were appointed :—Hon.

present "Karll's Promise" at the dedi-
cation of the new.scenery in the Town
Hall. , This play is <i production of
Hon. President, Mr. Harry Hart and
is one of the best ever written. A
hearty- vote of thanks was tendered
the young ladies who so kindly render-
ed their assistance on former occasions.
A 'notion was passed that the minutes
be sent to the SENTINEL for.publication.
