A VISIT T'0 THE WILDS
The following is a clipping from
"The Nipissing Tattier,"'a young peo-'
ple's `s}ieet in connection with the
United church, Nipissing, of which
Rev. 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

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.

13E CAREFUL
In a season as dry as this one
extra care should be taken to prevent
fires. 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.
GOOD'GARDEN PRODUCTS
The Iack of rain this summer hast
been pretty hard on gardens and
some people complain that their
yields ds have been poor. But not so in
all cases. Garden onions seem to be
exceptionally good, being large and
free from blight or worms. its.
James Livermore, King street, has
no complaint to make in regard to
his garden, as is amply proved by all
exhibit of products on our table at
time • of writing. Three tomatoes
tipped the scale at two pounds; five
potatoes, three and a quarter pounds
and five :i
ears two
v
pand atart •
qt er
pounds. All are well formed and
smooth. 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.

A VISIT T'0 THE WILDS
The following is a clipping from
"The Nipissing Tattier,"'a young peo-'
ple's `s}ieet in connection with the
United church, Nipissing, of which
Rev. 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

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

rocky ledge at the 'shoreline', was ht's
companion in tribulation, the first
mate, with trousers and socks` hang-

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

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.

13E CAREFUL
In a season as dry as this one
extra care should be taken to prevent
fires. 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.
GOOD'GARDEN PRODUCTS
The Iack of rain this summer hast
been pretty hard on gardens and
some people complain that their
yields ds have been poor. But not so in
all cases. Garden onions seem to be
exceptionally good, being large and
free from blight or worms. its.
James Livermore, King street, has
no complaint to make in regard to
his garden, as is amply proved by all
exhibit of products on our table at
time • of writing. Three tomatoes
tipped the scale at two pounds; five
potatoes, three and a quarter pounds
and five :i
ears two

pand atart •
qt er
pounds. All are well formed and
smooth. 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.

tree, which bears a .particularly
beautiful pink pear, never Inissee a
crop but is loaded every year.
