Double figures are not unusual for Mr. Terre 'and in a match with a U.S. team he ran up one hundred and twenty-three runs. This we believe was his high- est score. Mr. and Mrs. F. W.

J. 0. Emerson, a former resident of this section, died a few days since at Pickford, Mich., aged 65 years. For a 'time he resided with his daughter, Mrs. Thos.

On Monday while a load of jolly picnicers comprising the members of Willis choir, were on their way to Bayfield, one of the bolts holding the tongue came out, allowing the front wheels to swing around under the rig and upset it. Fortunately none was seriously hurt, and as they were not far from town the damage was soon repaired and they were on their way once more. On Thursday evening last whild the daughters of Geo. Dale, Tucker - smith, and Miss Henry of town, were on the way out of -town, the horse took fright due to part of the har- ness breaking and all three were thrown from the rig..
