C. D. Cox, formerly -of Goderich towpship is pastor: • "Mr.' C. G. Lobb of Clinton, accom- panied by his friend, Mr. M. Jordan, visited at the home of the former's sister, at the village parsonage, Mrs. (Rev,) C. Cox,' recently. The two gentlemen are citizens from the aristocratic south and - came to the north for a short holiday o day and by]} a accounts have fully enjoyed their varied experience. They first mot- ored around the country and feasted on the beauty of the scenery. And on Tnesday they secured a motor launch with the worthy pastor of the village as -pilot, and sailed forth on a fishing trip. They set out down the river and out into Lake Nipissing, landing about seven miles' down on the south shore and set camp and cooked their first meal in northern bush style, by camp fire, doing jus- tice to a pile of groceries, then set out down shore to land again to see he majestic sights of islands, bays and the city of North Bay across the Bay. When the craft was drawing near shore, Mr. Jordan, who was act - ng as first mate, took the tow line. n hand and stood bravely on the deck as the vessel drew up to the rocky shore. The pilot was busy with the engine and helm, and the first mate rade a noble effort to reach land by a mighty spring from the bow of the boat, but the boat behaved in a way peculiar to much craft and took a light recoil, There was,, a mighty plash, a gurgle a few 'nibbles and he worthy first mate was viewing he lake from the lower side. It was v}th a supreme effort and abundance f faith that the spate finally came view. and made a terrific and any- hing but dignified attempt to -scram - le up the face of a huge rock but the voters of Lake Nipissing reached or hint again and he was baptised n full immersion. But life seemed weet and the mate had a violent out,; reale of will power and super -human trength and by the aid of his devot- d friend, and by making several nog -like movements amid eoughings nd inaudibledisjointedphrases, the m' ate finally reached the top side of crit and looked regretfully at the mysterious pathway that narked his scent. He then sat down and made pasmodie efforts to smile while the udience tried in vain to gain con- r esure. So while the unfortunate vi disrobed and wrung out his arments to dry the rest of the party scentie themo d mountain side to 'pick lueberties, Mr. Lobb succeeded in irking• a hat full and came along elling of his success and stepped on n old pine log but alas the log failed o carry the extra weight and rolled ver '.whilethe blueberries suddenly shot into mid air like a fountain and the -dignified grocer was also in mid- air, both feet and hands pointing sky- ward, the remainder of his anatomy ..rapidly descending but very soon S suddenly stopped and as he struck terra firma it wasOpthe rough side of a steep granite rock and the- im- promptu decent continued, , but was finally and suddenly stopped as he straddled an old pine stump.`The am - ate mountain climber ur m n rose slow nly and painfully and, massaging differ- • ent sections of his anatomy, gave vent to his feelings in a few choice words which were more expressive than elegant, as he looked'ruefully at the rock which still held shreds of his trousers that marked his zig rag de- cent. The battered veteran then 1' limped on down -the trail, but end- denly stopped, and' wag, held spell- J bound • for there, far below, on the rocky ledge at the 'shoreline', was ht's companion in tribulation, the first mate, with trousers and socks` hang- ing up fn a -pine tree to dry and the nether ends of his shirt blowing gracefully in the .'crisp northern s breeze. The decent continued with- out mishap and the two forlorn suf- ferers fell en each others necks and kissed and'wept. So after a few nein- o or experiences our worthy Mission- . aiy managed"`to bring the boat, and full crew to the'landing. Their ex- . periences, however, —continued :for several days and on Friday they left in for Clinton, Huron County. As they e left Mr. Lobb was looking regretfully at the Blueberry' Mountain mid Mi• 1 Jordan • was deeply moved and was t usinghis .handcerchief, and • at the drovaway he Was heard to mina way spur between audible. emotions, sense - thing of a -chant which sounded like, I "Happy Days Are Here Again," We s hens our southern friends will be e with us again next year." The New Era Est. 1805 THE 'HOME PAPER A- REGRETTABLE ACOPENT It was with -keeh regret that th news was received' Sunday evenin that Nis. John Cluff, an esteente resident of Clinton, had been struck bya car s she ...eras a -hem 'from church andrathe•• r severely in jured. - Mrs. Cluff was returning ;from St Paul's church ` along Victoria stree when she came nearly opposit her own residence, beside Wesley Willis church, she attempted to eros the street and, failing. to see a ca approaching from the.south, ran ou into its path and was knocked down arid -sustained a double fracture her left -leg and a fracture of the left arm, besides being bruised and badlyshaken. ]lfr. - Harold old Crittenden was driv- ing the car, Which was going at a moderate pace at the time, and he said he did not even see Mrs. Cluff until the car struck her. Dr.' Gan- dier whose residence is opposite that of 1Vt15 s. Cluff, was soon on the scene and at once conveyed the injured lady to the hospital, where she was speedily given attention and at time of writing ,she is doing well. Mrs. Cluff said she was hereslf to blame for the accident, as she :failed to look _both ways before attempting to cross the street. Whatmakes rte a s the accident the more Wore regrettable is the fact that the lady is in her eighty-fourth year. She has been remarkably active, howev- er, and has been attending to her sawn housdhold duties, her garden, etc. A few months ago she was ber- eft of her only daughter, who died after a somewhat lengthy illness. Her many friends hope that she may continue t o t improve. p MrI1S. G. S. ROBERTSON DIE e At her horse in Lucknow on -Tues- g .day of last week the. death occurred d' 4f• M'rs. G S.

What might have been a ser- ious fire was started out on the Sixteenth of Goderich township yes- terday afternoon by, it is presumed, the careless disposal of a ,lighted match of cigarette. The fire had got quite a Start and was creeping into the fil field of Mr. R. G. Thompson, ho son township clerk, when a neighbor, Mrs. H. McCartney noticed it and called her husband, who investigated and with some difficulty extinguish- ed the blaze. Mr. and Ins. Thomp- son were absent at the time and, ow- ing to the fact that everything is as dry as tinder, had not neighbors not- iced in tinge serious, damage might have been done. Care should .be taker, at all time with lighted matches and cigarette stubs, but at a time such as this ex tea precautions are in order.

Besides being large Mr. Liv- ermore's potatoes were very fleeter - oust in a hill, ars excellent crop and seemingly quite unaffected by the long dry spell. 1VIhs. Livermore says that this pear tree, which bears a .particularly beautiful pink pear, never Inissee a crop but is loaded every year.

McCartney noticed it and called her husband, who investigated and with some difficulty extinguish- ed the blaze. Mr. and Ins. Thomp- son were absent at the time and, ow- ing to the fact that everything is as dry as tinder, had not neighbors not- iced in tinge serious, damage might have been done. Care should .be taker, at all time with lighted matches and cigarette stubs, but at a time such as this ex tea precautions are in order.

Besides being large Mr. Liv- ermore's potatoes were very fleeter - oust in a hill, ars excellent crop and seemingly quite unaffected by the long dry spell. 1VIhs. Livermore says that this pear tree, which bears a .particularly beautiful pink pear, never Inissee a crop but is loaded every year.
