The following from the Bothwell Times refers to Mr. John ll, Me•r_'her- son, Principal of the Bettie% ell school and son of Reeve McPherson, of Turnberry :--The result of the P. S. L. and Entrance Exams published in last week's issue is a credit •to the town of llothwell. Seven candidates were successful in passing the P. S. L. examination all taking lst class honors, the great- est number in any sehoul in the in. speetorate of E. Kent. Thirteen were successful in passing the en- trance, the highest nuiuber with the exception of Ridgetown, which teach- es only entrance work, In 1896, 14 were successful out of 1.r ; 1897, 16 were successful out of 18 ; making in all the three years, 50 out of 57 can- dida..es. The foregoing is a splendid record that reflects credit on the pu pils ability and application as well as the untiring efforts of the Privet pal who has made a record for him- self as a teacher in Kent County equalled by few and excelled by none. The School Board feel justly proud of their school and efficient staff of teachers and spare no pains in furth- ering the best interests of their school. EDITORIAL NOTES. THE special session of the Ontario Legislature was ended on Wednes- day. The Constable Bill passed its -third reading and the Government's majority was six. The Liberals of West Iiuron meet in Dungannon on Tuesday, Septet -in ber 13th, to nominate a candidate to 'fill the vacaney in the House of Com mons, caused by the resignation of 11Ir. M. C. Cameron, who is now Lieu- tenant -Governor of the North-West Territories. THOIIGH hardly likely to reach the extent that can be characterized as a campaign, the opposition to the prohibitionists in connection with the plebiscite is showing ;Signs of in- creasing. Mr. Russell, ?Dl. P. for Halifax, has declared himself oppos- ed to probibition, and in Quebec, CULROSS. Miss Bella Simpson, teacher in the Chicago schools, arrived here on Monday from a trip to Scotland, where she had gone to spend her vacation. :hiss Simpson is now at her home in Culross. On Monday of last week, Jessie, daughter of Mr. Lauchlin McKay, a young woman of 20 years of age, passed away after a somewhat pro- tracted. illness. The funeral took place Wednesday. Mr. McKay and family have the sympathy of many friends in the hour of their bereave ment. among the French papers, arguments' agai: st voting "Yes" are quite num-' errrus. Some Ontario papers ha' e also pronounced themselves in a mild -way in the same sense. UNDER the beading, "Men of the Day," The Toronto Globe speakes of oar member, Mr. Carrow, ;xis follows :—"Mr. J. T. Gar - row, Q. C., whose speeches on the constitutional questions before the Legislature have been among the hest delivered there, and have, in- deed, been admirable, has been a member of the House since the gen- eral election of 1890. He was born tt chippewa, in the County of Wel- land, March 11, 1813. He was edu- cated in the Common Schools of 'Waterloo and Huron Counties and in the Goderich High School. He was Reeve of Goderich for seven years, and has filled the office of Warden of Huron." MARKET REPORTS. WZNU$AM. Wingham, Aug. 11, 1898, Corrected by P. beans, Produce Dealer.

People who felt depressed on Tues- day and especially those afflicted with rheumatism,. knew by their bones we were in for a storm. But the rheumatickiest one of them hard- ly expected such a one as we got. It was terrific, without exaggerating. The storm was so thick one could not see two feet into it while the thunder NN as very loud, the lightn- ing very bright and almost continu• ons. We did not get the worst of it either ; worse storms seemed to go to each side of us. Nearly every one in the village was op and diessed. Nothing in the village was burned. Four fires could be seen but they must have been quite a distance away as we have not heard yet whose buildings they were. A gond many trees, and chimneys were destroyed. Clothes left hanging out were blown away "ne'er to be found again," but all the losses in this neighborhood were small ones. It was lucky the storm happened at night for had it been in daytime people might have been injured. A load of young peot le went over to Mr, Mooney's, in Morris, on Tues- day evening to have a jolly time but luckily did not start for home before the storm came on. JAMESTOWN. `Still the people of Jamestown are happy, and the result is seen by Donald Pope taking to himself a wife in the person ot MissKate McEwen, of this place. On Thursday after- noon of last week the happy couple drove to Wingham where they were made one for lire. They settled down to the stern realities of life on lot 5, con. 2, Grey, where Mr. Pop has rented the farm of Mr. Eae. 4May their joys be without number is the wish of their large circle of friends in this vicinity. tt.Jli ir.
