The concert in the Opera Hall on Wed- nesday night was fairly well attended but much smaller than the usual fair nigh audience. Mr. Sim Fax in "I'm Premier o the Day" makes a good Laurier and suc- ceeds well, in patching some of the Premi- er's well known attitudes. "The Belle of the Evening" was well received being a selection that hail not been given here before. Mr. Fax can scarcely be called a success as an elocutionist and would pro- bably consult his own interests were he not to Attempt that line of work. Miss Steven- son has a clear flexible voice and almost pleasing manner. Her numbers were all Lyell received, "When the Heart is Young" is a particularly sweet song. Mr. 1Geo.

Owing to a sprained wrist, Miss Nello Mc - Hardy was unable t., take hec part of the program as piano soloist but provided a very able substitute in the person of Miss Little. of Teeawater, one of Miss McHardy's pupils, Miss MaHardy was able, however, to act as aocompanist in the other numbers. An Afflicted Family. Win. 14IcAllieter, of Bloomingdale, died y in the Berlin Idospital, of typhoid !ever, er . on Monday, Sept. 26, and was. buried in the boundary cemetery 10 Grey,, on Wednes- day. He was 47 years of ageand leaves a wife and two children, a boy and a girl, a led 6 and 4 years respe- divbly. Mr. Mc- Allister was well knowa iii this vicinity, where he rved for some time, haying left here about f;teen months ago. Of a fanc- ily of twelve, be is the first to pass to the great beyond t' ough at present his brother Thomas, of Bloomingdale, end a sister, Mrs. McDonald of Kincardine are both down with the fever. His mother brill lives in Grey. Mr, Benjamin Xing, of the boundary line of Grey and Morris, also died of fever on Monday. He wall 29 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. The two funerals met at the cemetery snaking a most' impressive scene. Both Mr. King and Mr. McAllister were mem- bers of the Brethren and a unio i memorial service was held; a service never to be for- gotten by the hundreds who were present. The afflicted families have the deepest sym- pathy of their many fiends. The Affegt of the Boom. -John Duckett has traded his 50 twee farm, just south of the town in Wawanosh, to Malcolm Lamont for his 80 acre farm, just across the road in Morris, and received 6700 au cash. This deal now/' gives Mr. Duckett 272 acres in Morriss;, We are in receipt of of a raoy article on the Millinery openings, by four g.rls of Bluevale. As our "Occasional Editor for important occasions" had already soot in considerable copy, part of which was al- ready up, we could not make room for the impressions of these young ladies but will be able to do as next week. -On Friday night last, a certain por- ton removed a valuable thermometer from the front of C. A. Campbell's Drug Store. Mr. Campbell does not feel inclined to be at the lots of the instrument and would advise the person who took it away to return it at once and save trouble. ---Tio weeks ago, Mr, Ste wart MoGee, clerk in the attire of Mr. John Henna, re- ceived a kick from the delivery horse, from which an abuse has resulted. Mr. McGee will be laid off duty for some time. Fortunately for himself he had taken out an accident policy onlya few hours before he received the kick,‘ dise plumes, ospreys and birds, and to add dash and brightness, sequin, quills and buckles, rhinestones, steel and jet orna- ments, with ribbons and a few flowers just to keep a whiff of summer with us. SIIss DOTD'a Under the able supervision of Miss Rey- nolds we found taste and stylishness pre- vailing throughout this department. We were part'cularly 'taken' with a large hat of green and white velvet, rim of green Chenille gimp, tam crown of green gimp, over wuite ostrich tips and c,prey at one side, making a very lauuty bead..near in- deed. Two toques, one of green and black, and the other of black and white, were snug as well as stylish. Three brown beauties get equal admir- ation, they wale large hats, and trimmed with varying colors of glean, shot effects, and sequins. The draping and cecorarions ware quite effective, the wind.,w being 1orgeous in autumn tints, and many little nick -knacks tor home decoration, so dear o the heart of woman. Mac. OREI:N'tl.

Noticeable hats were two turbans a black and a green one With rim of chenille gimp, crowns of velvet and trnnrned high at the right side well back, with ospreys on the black one, and plumes on the green. Some of the large hate have roses et velvet nestling in against the hair. which is always smart looking. Two hats of hunter's green velvet, black trimmings were particularly rich looking. Here we saw such dainty linen table pieces, to be worked with silks in neutral tints. It is these dainty gal -ails' which give a home n homesomo look you know. The Hook and Ladder Truck Purchase Criticised. TO the Editor of the Totes. DEAR SIR -Yesterday I visited your -.new Hook and Ladder Truck. On Oct. 31st, 1895, our firm tendered your town for a far better outfit, price $23O, or with large Copper Bobcock Extinguisher complete added, 5300. This spring we renewed the offer, took Mr. Sperling into our shops. showed him our ladders made .totally different and very much more reliable' than those you have got. Our Extension Lad. dere are hoisted by rope and pully., roller, with brass boxing each side and steekdogs, and while going up have attaohed -permit. ant guy poles with Towmoor turned swivel joints, perfectly secure. Our ladders are made of Douglass Fir, imported from,B. C. best timber in the world for such work, besides are made totally different to secure double the strength. We don't paint and putty to hide defects. All are oiled only, to proove them perfect in quality. You might as well compare a small hand engine with our modern fire steamers, es compare the respective ladders of yours and ours - yours $260 ours $250. Your pull down hook is not as.massive as it ought to be and there is no appliance whereby men can' hook it onto a burning building tailless the mon are fire proof, all of which is fully provided for in our better and stronger appliances. In the face of; what we actually :showed Mr. Sparring and gave him a copy of enclosed picture of our trunk and then go and look at yours and you will say such al order was downright folly. A. certain Canadian Manufacturer got an order for two fire engines from Toronto at $2200 over our tender and'in testing proved a failure. Why our tender and guarantee to do better work in every solitary point was put in the waste paper basket is a conun- drum all honest men are asking, What is the reason? Singular that 11'lanicipal Councils gouerally don't seem tobuy the best and cheapest offered. Enclosed press reports prove what I say. RONALD Feet ENGfNE Winks. Brussels, Sept. 25th, 1896. Whether or not the boom has come to stay for any length of time is difficult to say but certain it is that already its influ- ence is beginning to be felt. Nob so much in the financial world perhaps but in the sooial and literary world. Youths inflated with the exciting tales of camp life are vi- brating in every nerve impatient to be off and hew their fortunes from the rocks in that wild and woolly west as did the Western press The famous fortyu)ners is fast adopting the off hand, uncouth ex pressions that rival the heroes of Brete Hartes' Roaring Camp. Tho Ledge pub- lished in New Denver, 13. C., thus an- nounces itself "Feilow pilgrims, all, the Ledge is located at New Denver, 13. C., and can be traced to many parte of the earth. It comes to the front every Thurs- day and has never been snow elided by cheap silver or raided by the sheriff. It works for the trail blazer as well as the bloated and thicken fed capitalist. It aims at being on the right side of everything and believes that hell should bo adminis- tered to the wicked in largo doses. it has stood the test of time and the paystreak is gro.ving wider.
