Dakin OF Geo. Actnesow.—One of
tbe oldest and most respected settlers
of this town passed away Tuesday
afternoon in the person of George
Acheson, For years Mr. Acheson was
in the mercantile business, and so sic
cessful were his operations that•he held
considerable stock in many of the
chief manufacturing industries of this
town. He was a Methodist, and as an
official of the Church strongly aided in
in the furtherance of its welfare here.
Although not an active follower of
politics; his influence in the ;Liberal
cause was always beneficial to the

LEATHERDALII & SDN,
The Jackson (Mich.) Patriot ot recent
date says of a clergyman well known
in this locality ;-`The third quarterly
conference of the First M. E. church
was unusually eventful, At the busi
ness session a reeolution was presented
and passed, asking the Michigan con•
fereuee to return Rev. T. T. LeGear
to the Jackson church. for another veer,
•The resolution referred in most com-
plimentary terms to Mr. LeGear's six
years of faithful stewardship, end the
earnest wish of parishioners to make
that number seven, He is oneof the
strongest men in the conference and
Jackson would be honored by Mr,
LeGear's return hero." Editorially
The Patriot approves of the action of
the church officials, and states that
their expression "echoes the senti-
ments of may people not associated
with the church. Mr. Le Grew belongs
to the new school of preachers, and

CELEBRATION,—The Celebration of -
Dominion Day in Wroxeter was a
marked success. While no doubt the
threatening rain of the morning kept
a number away yet the turnout from
the surrounding country aud villages
was good and an enjoyable day was
spent. The committee deserve great
credit for the manner in which all
arrangements were made and carried
out, The town was prettily decorated
with bunting and evergreens. First
game to be called was between Wing -
ham and Harriston baseball teams and
was a closely contested one, at the
tenth innings the score stood 3.3. On
the eleventh Wingham scored three
runs,, thereby winning out The

splendid game the Unions scoring one
while Wingham was still a Mauls, In

came demoralizedlind Wingham tallied
as they pleased, the score standing
ih their favor I8-2. The. different
Muting rases were well contested and
the winners earned their laurels, The
farmer's race, hurdle race and egg race
caused install excitement, The lacrosse
game between Wingham and Kin-
cardine did not come off as Kincar-
dine did not pat in their appearance.
It was a great disappointment as many
came just. to see this match.' It Is
said the Kincardine players were in
Wingham all day, What were they
afraid of 7 Perhaps they felt that with
the Wingham teens in Wroxeter they
could hold down what was left in
Wingham. In order to fill up the
vacancy caused by Kincardines
non-appearance, a foot -ball game waS
played between the present team, and a
team composed of returned old boys.
The old boys soon showed the pubiic
that they had not forgotten how to
push the pig -skims and the -score was
1-0
inth thrall' favor, Never oafor
somany f
did
our old boys and girls re-
turn to help to celebrate the day and
gladden the hearts of their friends,

solelets being Miss Eller, contralto,
