Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Elston on onday
evening last when the members of the
Main Street Methodist choir (of which
Mr. and Mrs. Elston have long been
members) announced their presence at
the door to spend a social hour with
theta in their cosy home on Gidley
street in honor of the recent event of
their entering into married bliss. Dur-
ing the evening the hostess was pre-
sented with a "shower"
many useful and
hold articles. The
pleasant one to all.
Uncle Tort's Cabin.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was put on in the
Opera House on Friday night and was
greeted with a bumper house. The
contrast in the play of Friday night
and that which visited town souse
weeks is considerably in favor of the
latter, but neither plays (?) were wor-
thy the time it took to put them on.
"Little Eva" played a rather winsome
role, and "Topsy" was also very good.
The choruses are composed of South-
ern natives and while not being bad in
some of the parts there was nothing
noteworthy about then( save that they
were black. Probably the best part
of the play was the juggling which
was indeed interesting.
Male Street Anniversary.
The Thirteenth Anniversary of the
Main Street Methodist Church was
held on Sunday last. Rev. David N.
McCamus, of St. Marys, preached two
excellent gospel sermons, and his dis-
courses were listened to with deep in-
terest by large congregations. In the
evening a large number were unable
to gain admittance, the church being
filled to the doors. The President of
the Conference, Rev. A. II. Goin,
B.A., presented the Robert Raikes' Di-
Slomas to those of the Main Street
unday School whose names were
found on the Golden Roll of Honor.
Mr. E. Moule, rf London, t.atitone,
assisted the Choir. The thank -offer-
ing was in excess of the amount asked
for, being $375,
Creech- Sanders.
A quiet house wedding was solem-
nized at the home of Mrs. Sanders.
Main street, on Thursday afternoon
last, when her eldest daughter, Miss
Edith, was united in marriage to Mr.
Richard N. Creech. The ceremony
which took place about three o'clock
was perforated by Rey. E. A. Fear, in
the presence of only the immediate
families of the contracting parties.
The bride was attired in it beautiful
light blue travelling gown, with hat to
match. Both bride and grootn were
unattended. The ceremony over and
the wedding supper served the young
couple were driven to the depot where
they took the evening train for a short
trip to Detroit. The newspaper has
accustomed R. N. to say "we" and he
will now use it in a broader sense than
ever before.
Bloomfield Dismissed.
A Goderich correspondent writes:—
••A somewhat peculiar occurrence was
one that resulted in a trial Friday
morning on a charge of theft by His
Honor Judge Doyle. The prisoner
was a young roan named Russell
Bloomfield, who was employed with a
livery in Centralia, and who on Octo-
ber'2lst was driver for a man named
1Vut, Gilmore. Gilmore treated hint
at the bar before they left, and on the
road a bottle of liquor was consutued
between the two. Gilmore had $58 on
his person, which found its way into
the possession of Bloomfield, but ac-
cording to the statement of the prison-
er's counsel at the trial no one seems
to know just how, both Bloomfield and
Gilmore being too much under the in-
fluence of the intoxicant to know
what took place. Bloomfield pleaded
guilty to the charge and restored the
„ ,
money, and was let o b � '
). K Y the fudge
after a good deal of good advice on
promising to abstain from liquor and
fur nishing two sureties for his good
bo h:t'.ior,•'
Blcks' Forecasts For November.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the
27th, 28th and 29th, will tell the story
in sleet and snow and cold November
rains. The month will merge into
December in the midst of soled, mer-
curial cloudiness, with wintery aspects
prevailing over all northern to central
parts of the country. Ile ready for it!
A pre -word of caution about Decent -
her will not be amiss. A 1eactiomtry
storm period is central on the 2nd, 3rd
and 4th, This period is at the crisis of
the Mercury period, and near the cen-
tre of the Venus disturbance. The
Moon is on the celestial equator on the
3rd. By the 2nd rising temperature,
falling barometer and cloudiness will
appear in western sections. Winter
rains, with probable lightning and
thender southWilf(1, 11111)' he expected
by the 3r d, turning into general and
destructive sleet storms northward.
An early December blizzard, in all
probability. will follow from the north-
west, as the front of these storm areas
is advancing across the centre of the
Missis,ippi Valley. The chances are
many that winter storms of wind,
snow and sleet will he prolonged at
this tirue, filling the days up to the
next storm pet Mil.

Rale Needed.
If winter sets in without a lot of
rain first coming, it will leave the
farmers of this district, at least, in a
bad way. Water is very scarce in
parts of this country. Most of the
small streams and ponds upon which
the farmers depended for water, to-
gether with the wells and cisterns,
dried up during the great drought in
August and September, and the few
rains since have been inadequate to set
them going again. A farmer said
yesterday that tha stock needs more
water now than ordinarily because of
the dry feed, their being no pasture,
and he added that it will be a colossal
task for farmers to draw water in the
winter time, and perhaps an impossib-
ility if the weather becomes severely
cold, when streams freeze almost to
the bottom.
He's going to
quit the
old way.
