HESS, TH E JEWELER. Locals continued, from page 1. A jolly load of young people from town took the home of Mr. Charles Stelck, on. the Parr line, by sur- prise, on Wednesday evening. The evening was pleasantly spent. The Misses Armstrong, who have been visiting at the hoane of Mr. Robert Armstrong, Goshen Line, Stanley, the past few months, re- turned to their home in La Riviere, Manitoba, on Friday. The man who values his friends and wants to hold his own self- respect will keep much to himself. The follow who thrusts himself eternally upon his friends is sure to be dumped on the rubbish heap of boredom. Mr. Harry Levitt, who has been staying with Mr. Joe Smith on the Bronson for a few months, left for Hamilton on Monday morning, where he will remain for a few weeks before leaving for his home in Assinbioia. Five cent pieces converted by hy- draulic pressure to the size of ten cent pieces is the latest form in which an attempt is made to de- fraud the public. The counterfeit coin is made exactly the same size as the ten cent piece and has the figure ten impressed upon it quite legibly, although the word "cents" is slightly blurred, owing to the heavy pressure to which the coin is subjected. Maple syrup made from trees in Huron county will be an unknown thing this year unless the weather moderates very quickly. Other years trees have been tapped: and a very good supply of sap running by the end of February, but what with frost and snow, it is useless to at- tempt to get to the bush to com- mence syrup operations. If two or three weeks of sunshiny clays would welcome us, without a too sudden rise in temperature, there may be some hope of getting some of the genuine maple syrup made around here but present prospects are not very bright:—Ex. The Grand. Trunk certainly de- serves credit for the way they have fought the elements the past month or so. No sooner would the track be open from London to Winghani, than a snow -storm would stop all trains again. This has happened over and over again, and no doubt, there are none who welcome the spring more than the officials of the G. T. R. It has cost the cor- poration thousands of dollars, not onlytfor wages paid to Hien to open up the road, but also for board. of passengers detained at towns by the blockade. Our merchants have had some difficulty in getting their spring stock delivered, some of which has been on the road for seven and eight weeks. gtes � zggi Season 1904.

Three of our cattle buyers were north of Bayfield recently, looking at some cattle. It is reported that while two men of town, were returning from God- erieh recently, the horse took a sudden spell of "that tired feeling" and as no farm house was near by, they loaded it on the cutter and pulled it for some distace, but this was too hard work so they put up at a farm house for the night. DIXIE Special to THE HERALD. Hauling wood and logs is the order of the day in our burg. Mr. and. Mrs. Fred Leibold were visiting at Mr. Kyle's on Sunday last. Mr. Thos. Kyle is painting his house. It is said he will have the nicest house in Dixie after he • is through. with it. Mrs. Blackwell is on. the sick list at present. Mr. Prank Folliek has hired to chop brush ahead. of the big dredge for $35 per month. Look out fol. flying brush when Frank gets at it. Mrs. Tom. Kyle visited at John Kipter's a few days last week. Mr. Burkholder is visiting friends in Michigan and other States at present. HENS ALL Special to THE HERALD. Mr. J . Sheppard bought some hogs for shipment on Feb, 29th but they clid not leave until Thurs- day' night. We are glad to say that Mr. H. J. D. Cooke, who was seriously ill with pneurnonia, is improving, Mr. J. C. Stoneman is back from Toronto, where he attended the Grand Lodge meeting of the Honie Circle. The band concert was held on Monday night. A good crowd was present and all report themselves wall satisfied with the programme. Miss Aggie Shirra, who has been visiting her sick mother in Hamil- ton, has returned. Mr. T. Palmer of Wheatland, Manitoba, has purchased the res - taurant from R. Spear. The W. C. T. U. is circulating a petition in favor of local option. While Mr Chas. Troyer of Hills - Green was driving to Hensel. re- cently, he killed a fine coon with the butt end of his whip. Trains are running on time once more. Now for a freight train. CREDI TON Special to THE HERALD. Mr. Harry Eilber's new dwelling is nearing completion ; what next? Miss Emma Morlocle of Benton Harbor is spending a month's vaca- tion under the parental roof. A very enjoyable time was spent at the German parsonage Tuesday night last, where the Ladies' Aid of the Evangelical church surprised their pastor and wife, after a plea- sant evening spent, the ladies pre. pared a meal such as only our Ladies Aid has the skill to prepare. The secretary of the society, Mrs. J. II. Holtzmann, then read a kind- ly worded address, after which Mrs. Samuel Brown, Treas., handed Mr. and Mrs. Damm a very hand- some quilt as a slight token of the high esteem in which they are held. Several fine dwellings are to be erected this spring in our village. Mr. James Clark, our popular har- ness maker and Michael Hirtzel are both hauling the material for their dwellings. Mr. John Weiner and family left Wednesday last for Manitoba. The many friends of Mr. Chris. Eilber were pleased to see his smiling face again. He was visit- ing under the parental roof on Sun- day last. Miss Wagester of near New Ham- burg is visiting her sister at the German parsonage. Mr. Wm Fritz, proprietor of the Royal Hotel, and family spent Sunday in Zurich. We are pleased to report that Mrs. Frederick Eilber, who has been on the sick list for some time past is rapidly improving. Mrs.Oestreicher has been serious- ly ill the past week but is some better. Messrs. Faust and Kelly, of Zurich, paia our village a friendly visit on Sunday last. Come again boys. Mr. Samuel Brown and family spent Sunday last at Zurich. Once upon a Monday dreary, she was working weak and weary; down upon 'her marrows moping, moping up the kitchen floor. While the mop was flipping, flap- ping, suddenly she heard a tapping, tapping at the kitchen door. " 'Tis some visitor„" she muttered, "rap- ping at the kitchen door ; gracious Peter what a bore." Up she. got and nearly swearing, hastily began preparing to appear as women Wish. to when visitors coni.e to look then o'er—yanked her apron off and slung it, grabbed a dolman up and hung it over the greasy gown she wore. Then she opened wide the door,—and found a sawed off boy who wanted to know if she didn't want some fresh roaster. peanuts. W. C. T. U. The Cigarette Evil. In the cigarette discussion in Parliament, I notice that one of the speakers said, If smokers would only practice self-denial for the benefit of others, it would do much to lessen the cigarette evil.' How MR men who smoke expect their children to abstain? The difficulty of convincing youths of the evils of tobacco is great enough, but be- comes greater when their seniors smoke. If the 'smoking' members and adherents of the church would set ane .ample of abstinence, they would, in my opinion,lbenefit them- selves, but they would benefit society as Well, and particularly the rising generation. Assuming that smoking is simply a, habit of pleasure—though I think it is much more—would it not be a step in the direction of moral re- form to give it up for the benefit of others? Are there not some men connected with the church who are willing to show their de- votion by so doing? Let us have a revival along this line. Paul was willing to give up meat if his eating it caused. offence to others. Surely we could do with a good deal less tobacco. I WMA. only reasoning this matter from its influence and ex- ample, and my appeal is to those who stand in the way of moral reform. This matter needs all the help it ,;an get. 1t needs the help of the 'church—not alone in prayers but that personal and practical help which would be effective. I ask the thoughtful attention of those church members to whom these lines may have application, to this question, assured that if they aro guided by their con- sciences, instead of by their .per- sonal feelings, they will practise what I ani preaching.
