For instance, Messrs. Davies & Herman of town received the other day an order from Brazil, the customer stating that he bad seen their advertisement in The News -Record. If readers in Brazil stop to read the advertisements it goes without saying that the readers in Huron county also read them.

"Of all divine institutions the most divine is that which sectored a day of rest for man. I hold it to be the most valuable blessing ever conceded to man. It is the comer -stone o:1'' Civilization"—Lord Beaconsfield. "The religious observance of Sunday is a main prop of the re- ligions character of the Country. The observance of it is a duty of .ab- solute importance:" --Hon. W. E. Gladstone. The foregoing statements empha- size the value of -the Lord's Day to National well-being, Yet niftily of our fellow -citizens are drifting into an 1r -religious Sabbath, The auto- mobile, amusement summer resorts and Sunday visiting constitute a ser- ious peril to the moral and religious life of our Province.

Alex. Butler, Clinton's left-handed baseball pitcher, had the misfortune to twist his -knee at a .gave last week and has been laid up more or less. ever 'since.

But this was different A man got a chance to get a can in and you should have seen some of these players rum.

We have been especially anxious to present a high class Canadian Mus- ical Organization to our Chautauqua towns this year, and in order to se- cure the best results possble, we in- vited Mr. William Shakespeare, the well known voice builder, of Toronto, to produce for us a Mixed Quartet, knowing that he would put forth nothing but the best. The result has been the "William Shakespeare Concert Party," who will appear up- on the first day of the Chautauqua, both afternoon and evening. They will present a very high class enter- tainment, composed of baritone and soprano solos and duets, violin and piano solos and duets, and ensample work of pleasing variety. The se- lections will be of the finest music as well as of the most popular. The personnel of the Company will be as follows:—Mrs. Marjory N. Baldwin is a coloratura soprano of exceptional ability. Her voice is very pleasing. She Will give some of the arias of some of the most popular grand op- eras, as well as very pleasing mod- ern songs. Mrs. Baldwin has done extended concert work, Mr, Russel Cleric has a rich and pleasing basso-cantanto•and renders some very exceptional music, of both the heavier and lighten' variety.
