TEESWATER-LUCKNOW GAMES
Farmers, who completed harvest
ing their grain crop before the pre
vailing wet weather set in, were in
luck. The majority were through, but
a few had oats and peas to haul in,
and this stuff is still on the fields,
and must be getting in bad condition.
Rain which has fallen almost every
day for over two weeks has given
no time for; drying. Flax, too, has
been getting , far too much rain for
the good of the fibre. The rain, how
ever, has greatly benefited the pota
to and corn crops. Potato patches
which at one time promised very
little, have been changed into very
good crops. The apple crop will also
be greatly benefited.

LUCAN VS. WINGHAM
That
The Wingham baseball team hav
ing defeated Lucan at Lucan, the
'atter team was at Wingham on
Thursday of last week. The day was
wet and cold throughout, but the
teams went on with the game. We do
not know whether it was that, owing
to the weather, neither team could
play well, or was it that both played
better than ever before, but the re
sult was 0—0, neither team being
able to score. The Lucan team was
back again on Saturday, when a well-
contested game resulted in the visit
ors carrying off the honors, the score
being Lucan 10, Wingham 2.

WHERE POSTAGE IS HIGH

That looks as
The week’s mail brought to our
desk a circular letter all the way
from Dresden, Germany. On the en
velope were two postage .stamps,
each of 300 marks value, making 600
marks postage on the letter. Web
ster’s Dictionary tells
German mark is (or
equal to 23.8 cents of
or American currency.
though the sender of this letter had
paid nearly $150 in postage to have
it sent to Canada. But then we not
iced a few days ago that the value
of the mark was very low, and that a
Canadian dollar would buy some
things like one and a half million
marks. We leave it to young math
ematicians to figure out just what the
postage amounts to in our money.
The German government issued so
many paper marks, which it could not
redeem in gold or silver that the
mark has finally fallen in value to
the point where it has no buying
value at all. They are like the prom-
isory notes of a man who is bankrupt,
worth only the value of the paper.
For some weeks a game of base
ball between Teeswater and Luck
now scheduled to be played in Cale--
donian Park, has been about as sure
a sign of rain as one could wish.
Three times in succession rain came
on just at the time the game was to
start, and Friday of last week when
it was hoped to complete the series,
the weatherman got to work in good
time and made it wet throughout the’
day, so that playing was impossible.
Let us hope that, the hoodoo will let
up for this—Thursday—afternoon,
when the Teeswater .team will en
deavor once more to get a game here.
MOTORED FROM RAINY RIVER
Mr. Ed. Lockhart, of Stratton Sta
tion, Rainy River District, visited h's
uncle, Mr. Andrew Lockhart, of town,
and friends in Kinloss, last week. M
Lockhart is an old Lucknow boy and
greatly enjoyed meeting the few re
maining acquaintances of his boyhood
days. He, with his wife and a son,
motored all the way from Stratton
Station, coming around the west side
of Lake Michigan, through Milwau
kee, Chicago and Detroit. They had
a most enjoyable trip, and are re
turning in the same way. Mr. Lock
hart went to New Ontario over 20
years ago and has seen the wilder
ness of that time converted into a
land of smiling prosperity.

THE J. C. ROCKWELL “SUNNY
.SOUTH” COMPANY
Among the best of the many color
ed attractions on the road this season
is the J. C. Rockwell’s “Sunny South”
Company which is announced to ap
pear in the Lucknow Town Hall on
Monday. Sept. 24th. This is conceded
to be one of the strongest combina
tions of colored talent ever gotten to
gether. Thev are presenting a per
formance which is up-to-the-minute,
bright and pleasing from start to
finish. It is one of the best examples
of that form of entertainment, that
makes the heartest kind of appeal
to the eye and ear. It takes you out
of the doll-drums by its rapidity and
movement, its brilliancy and clever
ness. It has a handsome, though not
a large chorus, and it boasts of an
Olio of headlights in the way of
clever comedians and excellent vaude
ville stunts, some of a sensational
nature, the kind, that as a rule is
not seen outside the larger cities. The
music is of a kind that will make you
whistle in spite of yourself, and it is
tuneful enough to suit the most ex
acting ear. It is thoroughly refined
and free from objectionable features,
also bright and full of catchy melo
dies, which are characteristic of the
negro. In the far-reaching out after
that which is novel and unusual, the
management claims, with some de
gree of posjtiveness, that they have
soemthing in the way of musical
numbers foreign tu__anything here-
to-fore presented by any colored or
ganization. From the moment the
curtain rises on the first act until its
final drop, there are surprises a-
plenty. Nothing has been left undone
to make this attraction the first in
this particular field of endeavor. Mr
Rockwell is an acknowledged expert
in engaging people to properly inter
pret his characters, and in this in
stance he has enlisted the services
of real comedians, real singers and
a youthful and efficient ensemble.

CHURCH NOTES
The Harvest Thanksgiving services
at St. Peter’s Church last Sunday
were lqrghrV> -attended. The church
was appropriately and beautifully de
corated with grains, fruits and flow
ers. The Rev. Mr. Hawkins, rector
of the Anglican Church at Blyth,
conducted both services. Mr. Haw
kins is a former Ashfield resident,
having taught school in the vicinity
of Port Albert for five years, before
studying for the ministry.
A fine meeting was held at the Ep
worth League on Monday night when
the High Sehool teachers and stu
dents were entertained by the soci
ety. The Sunday School room was
filled to its capacity. Mr. Osterhout
was in the chair and the program was
as follows: Hymn; Prayer by Rev.
W. E. Treleaven; Scripture Reading,
Jack Osterhout; Address of welcome,
by Rev. J. H. Osterhout; vocal solo

Nay; reading,-Mrs. J. G. Anderson;
piano duett, Mrs. Newton and Mrs.
Reid; Community singing in charge
of Doris Osterhout and Mrs. Joynt.
Lunch was served and community
games were indulged in. The League
certainly proved themselves good en
tertainers.
Presbyterian Guild.—A splendid
program was provided by the Mis
sionary Committee for the Guild
meeting this.: week. Miss Tena Car
rick, Vice President, occupied the
chair. After the opening hymn, Miss
Phemie Irving read the Scripture les
son, and Mr. D. G. MacKenzie offered
prayer. A Missionary dialogue by ten
little girls was much enjoyed.- Mal
colm Watson gave a recitation and
Helen Thompson a reading. Miss Dol
ly Henderson gave a very fine paper
on the tpioc, “How Jesus Expected to
Change the World,” and Mr. D. G.
MacKenzie gave a synopsis of Mr.

spoke at the meeting of the Presby
tery in Ripley. Mrs.

returned to Mitchell with them.
An interesting meeting of the Y.

was held on Monday evening. A paper
by Mrs. Ramage on the subject, “Se
lecting the Best in Literature” was
read and Mrs. Cumming also read an
article on this subject. Mr. Clark
gave a very interesting talk on “The
History of Our Own Congregation.”
Lunch was then served by the ladies
and an enjoyable social hour spent.
In spite of the very unfavorable
weather on Thursday of last week,
there was a very good attendance at
the St. Helens School Fair held on
that date. The exhibits also were
numerous and up to a high standard,
so that on the whole it was quite
successful, though so much could
hardly be expected. The Brunswick
Trio which gave the concert pro
gram in the evening, drew
audience, so that it proyed
financial success..
The Anniversary services
Calvin Church last Sunday were all
that could be desired. Rev. Alfred
Gandier, Moderator of the General
Assembly, gave two masterely ad
dresses, dealing with the present
world condition. The day was ideal
and the church was filled to its utter
most at both services. The special
music by the choir was the finest we
have hear for some time. The Man
aging Board have installed a new
furnace and re-decorated the base
ment. They asked for a special col
lection to meet the expenses, and the
congregation responded by placing on
the offering plate more than was re
quired. Altogether it was a day to be
remembered, and for which to be
thankful.
