�uderfu 1 Attractive
Display
Of New Domestic and Wash Goods, Sug-
gesting Many'Deautitul Fabrics for
Spring and Summer .Dresses
• A display characteristic of this stores desire to al -
.ways present to the ladies of this vicinity an exhaust-
ive and comprehensive showing of the most favoure:l
materials as created by the latest fabric designers of
this and other countries. Printed fabrics are much
in demand and many dainty designs in suitings, voiles
and crepes afford a most pleasing selection from
which to choose right now while the goods are for
new stock, so that we are trying to steer a medium
course between the high and low prices, and thereby
forming a price basis very advantageous to the early
buyer in these limes. As the season advances and
more of the newer lines comes on under higher
prices. and unless your old stock is available we mu..t
ask higher prices.
We have a good range of the new things in scrims,
nets, cretonnes, furniture covering etc., in all the late•
est effect.
A few fine patterns are shown in 4 yard wide Lin-
oleum and some bright and new while the entire:
stock is complete, is the best time to buy for' Spring
and summer, then, too, by buying now you do away
with the litter rush and hurry that will surely come if
you don't propose for the new season now.
House Furnishings
Nearly everything in house furnishings have taken
a decided. advance, Carpets, Rugs, Liiudleums etc.
Fortunately we have always carried a goad big range
of these lines and to -day we are using our surplus
stock in these lines to ease upon the higher prices we
have been obliged to pay and some very. effective
•patterns in floor oils. .
A few nice` small rugs thrown round in the most
used places in a room add to the effe ct and save
materially on the carpets, we have a choice range
• and before • fixing up this Spring you we it to your.
self to come and look over Our house furnishing lines.

in Kincardine the other day inspecting the
steel railo lying here, that are looked upon
as assets of the defunct Ontario West

weight, 70 pounds, and, it is said, would
be quite suitable for use by the1ntercolisn-

made for the „rails by the Government

Mrs. Young, ninth con., of Howick, on

home of W I3, and Mrs. Ferguson. 5th
line, last Tuesday night et which was
represented some sixty of the friends and
n •' hhors of the lora i y who took advan-
tege of the occasion to pay their respect
ane .w honer to their son Sapper J Gor-
don Ferguson D S. who was home on
his last leave from Ottawa, where he has
been training for some months prior to
going overseas. The evening was bright
the weather being all that could be desir•
ed, permitting all the members of the
various families interested to attend.
Selections on the Vanaphone were given
during the reception and comfortable
arrangement of the guest. Mr, Richard
proctor, councillor of the Local War
Auxiliary, called the gathering to order
and hi a few well chosen introductory
remarks explained the object Acting on
a suggestion he asked Mrs. Taylor to take
the chair The first number on the gro-
gram was an address well read by Maudie
cell as follows:—
To Sapper Gordon Ferguson, D. S. '
Dear Gordon:—
We your friends and neighbours are
gathered here to night with feelings of
pride and regret, we have learned of your
call to overseas„duty, and as we realize
that parting must come to us all, our
earnest prayer is that the kindest blessing
of the Almighty may rest with you in that
tar distant land. We all admire the stand
you have taken in enlisting to serve your
king and although we are severed for a
time remember your friends will not for-
get you, and are hoping that the time
may soon come when all nations will be
at peace As a small token of the esteem
in which you are held in the locality we
present to you this wrist watch,not for its
value, but as a reminder of the kindly.
spirit in Which it is given. May you be
blessed with good health and spared to
return to us again safe and sound is the
wish of your friends.
Signed on behalf of the friends and
neighbors.
Richard Proctor. Councillor of War
Auxiliary, and W. G. Nicholson, Pres.
of local' branch, e
The - presentation was made by Mil-
dred Russell, The watch Is of handsome
design with gold. case. The recipient
made a short but suitable reply express-
ing his,deep gratitude for the thoughtful-
ness which prompted the gift.
An impromptu program was then ren-
d:red which consisted of an able address
by G. W. Nicholson, which was sincere
and to the point., He enlarged upon the
importance of the occasion. the honor
which we bear and the pride that is ours
in our young, soldier, and that too much
honor cannot be paid to our heroes, with
best wishes that they may be able to re-
turn again safe and sound with duty well
done. Those called on for apeeches were
James Anderson, W. H Armstrong, Ed-
win Armstrong. Mre, Joseph Clegg, Mrs,
Vancamp, James Michie, James Russell,
and Samuel McCurdy The first men-
tioned
entioned having sons at the front wished to
be excused. Those responding spoke in
sentiments of good wishes. Mr. McCur-
dy in strong. clear terms emphasized the
thought that there is nothing too good
for a soldier. There was music galore,
violin selections byJ• T. Bell and Montle,
violin and organ instrumentals by Rich-
ard Proctor also a song by Nora Van -
camp. Victor Young on his harmonica,
and songs by James Taylor, Charlie Cole,
Misses MIchie, Mary Cole, Violet and
Nellie Anderson and Elizabeth Ferguson
and a rousing chorus by the pupils of Nei
5 School. Accompanists were Maud
Bali. Mrs. Taylor, Miss Eliza Proctor,
and Miss Spiers A bounteous lunch pre-
pared by the guests with specially pre
pared coffee was dispensed with to the
pleasure of all. A variety of games and
social chat was indulged in by old ar
young. Old friendships were renewed
and exchanzed which will not soon be
fcrgotten In spite of the gloom which
enshrouds such occasions on account of
the uncertainty of the life of those going
out, a pleasant time was spent which was
due largely to the good will and genial
nature which prevailed among those
present.
Council adjourned to meet May 20th at
10 a, m, as it court of revision for Assess-
ment Roll and for general business.
