(,sod Savo ttie King, The gathering was honour..d by the presence of two old timers, in ih 1 persons of Jesse Gledltdl and Andrew lieddle on which the chairman commented, A drain which starts on the farm of 1Vm, leasaice in Kinloss and travels in alt easterly direction for 31; miles, where it empties into the Saugeen river and at the 3rd concession of Greenock, the property owners to be assessed along its route, is causing a great deal of conteutien in the courts. Although the farmers all admit the drain would be a great asset to the property owners provided the outlet is large enough, a number appealed to the Greenock council over their assessment, five of whom were struck off, and four others lowered, leaving $300 to be added to the remaining number. Two weeks ago seventeen of these twenty appealed from the Greenock Council award to the Judge at Walkerton, R, Vanstone of Wingham, appeared for appealeets in the case and David Robertson, K. C. rep. resented the Council. After much chis cussion, the case was adjourned to Friday last when Judge Klein again reserved his decision for a month, The Goderich Signal of last week says: Von have heard of the man who stood on London Bridge and vainly offered to ex- change gold sovereigns for silver shil- lings. The story is recalled by the ex- perience of a certain Goderich merchant who the past week had some stockings of splendid quality in his window marked at 85c a pair The present wholesale price for stockings of poorer quality is $6.50 per dozen—practically 55c a pair. The local merchant happened to have purchased his stock before the prices went up, and was willing to give his customers the advantage of the lower price; whereas the Toronto departmental houses, which make a rule of selling their entire stock each season, and carrying no goods over, have to pay the new high prices, and cannot sell the same goods at less than 755c a pair. But, like the Londoners who passed by the sovereigns offered for a shilling the people passed by the 75c stockings offered for 85e, It would be a pretty safe wager that some of the same people are sending to Toronto for hosiery and paying the higher prices for interior goods. The local merchant was advised to mark tie stockings at 75c, and he would get rid of them more quickly than at 35c. Some people cling most fondly to the foolish notion that they are saving money by buying from mail order houses, Myth (intended for last week.) The Brotherhood Organization of the Methodist Church, which has lately been organized by the Rev. R. J. McCormick, made their first appearance as a body on Sunday last. Service was entirely in charge of the men. The weather was ideal, and large crowds attended both services. The pastor preached two in- structive sermons to an appreciative audience. His subject for the evening was "The Worth of a Man", for which he chose as his text, Math, 12:12, How much then is a man better than a sheep. In the evening his theme was "Compelled Men", Text 1 Cor. 9:16, 1 Cor. 9:14. The men's choruses which consisted of torty-five voices were greatlyt1 appreciated On Monday evening an excellent program was given and the church again was fired to its full capacity, although the admis- sion fee was only 10 and 15c the proceeds amounted to over forty dollars.

Donald Graham were given a good scare, when two masked men entered the house in the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Graham and ransack• ed the house from top to hottom, In addition to the children, the eldest, only a young girl and the other small children, bliss Pearl McDonald and her sister•in-law, Mrs. Dan McDonald were in the house at the time. First cause an unusual rap at the back door, and Miss McDonald who went to the door, enquired who was there, to which there was no response, she therefore, turned the key in the door and locked the other doors. Those who were in the house went up. stairs. In some way the niers gained entrance to the house and proceeded to search the rooms. The oceupants went into one of the bedrooms in wbich was a heavy dresser without casters, and with this they barricaded the door. The men tried the door but did not force an entrance. The occur - mace took place about 7 o'clock and the men meet hava been in the house for half an hour. Needless to gay the occupants were very much alarmed and as soon as Mr. and Airs, Graham, who bad gone over to see Mr. Graham's parents, returned they called out to them to turn on the lights but it was found that every bulb had been loosened in the socket so that it would not come en. A rocking chair also bad been placed across the stairway to barricade it. So far as is known the marauders got nothing for their pain.
