BRIEFLETS.-At the last meeting pf Court.
Douglas, Canadian Order of Paraders, the
Attendance was larger than at any previous
meeting in the history of the court. Four
new members were initiated. The dele-
gates chosen to attend High Court in Nis
gara next February are: Rev. J. W.
Pring, of Nile ; Dr. Toole and Mr. James
Elliott, Mr. John Burgess being High
court auditor, will attend as a matter of
course. The officer's chosen for next term
are: Robert Leathorn, 0. R. • Joseph
Breckenridge V. C. 'R. ; Robert Shaw,
-chaplain ; John Wellman, S. W.; Thos.
Stewart, J. W. ; John Burgats, R. S. ;
James Elliott, F. S. ; eorge Aiteheson,
treasurer ; R. N. Duff, educt deputy • Dr.
Toole, examining physioian.—The cantata,
" Santa °lane' reception," presented in the
Methodist church on Christman eve, passed
toff very successfully and smoothly. There
were no long waits between the acts. The
children performed their parts well, and
seemed -to be much pleased in the doing
.of it. Every one acted and sang admir-
.able, and it is impossible to particularize
- except in a few instances. Miss Millie
Moss made a charming picture as Queen of
the Fairies. Her dress was of soft white
muslin, spangled with silver stars, her
stockings were white, she carried a liver,
star -tipped wand, and' a silver crown was
placed on her powdered curls. Any one
• eould see that Master John Stewart is a
manly little fellow, by the way he challenged
-every man, woman and baby m the building
to run a foot race with him. We must not
- forget to mention Harty Patterson, captain
of the drill. Miss Daisy Moss, who taught
the children, is to be complimented on the
result -of her patient work. On the evening
of the cantata, Miss Maggie Stewart, organs
ist, was given, a gold chain, af box for writ-
inghnaterials and a dressing vase, a gift
•from the congregation. -Rev. Mr. Byers,
M. A., of Gananoque, left Bluevale this
week, after a fortnight's sojourn, having
taken charge of the services in the Presby-
terian church the last two Sabbaths. -Mr.
Tohn King, teacher at Kinburn, and Master
Tommy King, of Wingham, spent Christmas
Bluevale.-Mr. Edwin Bailey, teacher
near Haysville is spending the holidays at
.home. -Mr. ;prank Scott and Miss Olive
Scott spent Christmas with relatives in
Seaforth.-Mr. Archibald Patterson, hutch,.
ered a cow for Mr. James Elliott, of
Turnberry, the beginning of last week,whieh
weighed -over 1,600 pounds alive, and when
dressed weighed over 900 pounds. The
animal was a Holstein, and those who think
Holsteins are a poor breed for beef would
be inclined to think otherwise had they
tasted the juicy Christmas roast from its
_ fine quarters. -The nominations held in the
Morris :-own hall, on Monday last, proved
an exceedingly good entertainment, as many
of the speeches delivered were both humor-
ous and eloquent. At no previous nomin-
ation in the history of the township was the
crowd so enthusiastic and interested. The
following gentlemen were nominated : James
Bowman, reeve; George Kirkby, deputy -
reeve; councillors, Thomas Coad, Wm. Is-
bister, Mark Cardiff, James Bulger'and
• -John McCracken, jr.-The Farmers' Insti-
tute will hold acmeeting in the Foresters'
hall, Bluevale, on January 6th. Mr. Rob-
ert McMillan, of Kinburn, and. others, will
speak. It is to be hoped a good crowd will
be present to make it interesting. •
Summerhill.
• [Received too late for last week.] -
NOTES.-MeBrien Bros. gave the young
',-people a slancincs party on Wednesday
night. -Mr. John. Watkins, of this place,
was united in the bonds of matrimony to
Miss Sarah Brown, of Londesboro, on
Wednesday. We wish the young couple a
happy married life. -Mr. Robert Miller is
on the sick list, as is also Mrs. Wallace.
We hope both may soon recover. -Mr. W.
J. AlcBrien rejoices in the additionof an-
other son to his family. -The lecture on
Friday evening laat, by Mr. Stubbs, was a
success and there are two or three proposi-
tions for membership.- in the lodge. We
would like to see others follow. -Mr. Wal-
lace, of Fingal, is visiting in this vicinity.
EXAMINATION. -The public examination
in connection with the school here was held
on Tuesday, the 22nd, and was a pronounc-
ed success. The examination of the classes
began early in the day and continued until
late in the afternoon. During the noon
intermission a repast was served Its the
ladies of the section. After the pupils had
shown that they had a good understanding
of and training in their school work, the
'sleeting was called to order, with Rev. Mr.
Stout, in the chair, and. a choice program of
music, recitations and dialogues was given'
in an admirable manner by the pupils.
The teacher, Mr. Kilty, was assisted in the_
work by the following teachers, viz.
J. Lawrence, C. I. Fisher and J.H.Lowery,
and also Rev. Mr4 Stout. At the close the
pupils received the prizes that had been
carefully selected for them, and several of
the parents present expressed very strongly
their appreciation of the work done by the
teacher.
How Uncle Sam " got His
Name.
The nickname, "Uncle Sam," as applied
to the United States Goverement, is said to
have originated as follows: Samuel Wilson,
commonly called " Uncle Sam," was a Gov-
ernment inspector of beef and pork at
Troy, New ork, about 1812. A contract-
or, Elbert Anderson, purchased a quantity
of previsions, and the barrels were marked
"E. A.," Anderson's initials, and "U. S."
• for United States. The latter initials were
not familiar to Wilson's workmen, who in-
quired• what they meant. A facetious fel-
low answered : "I don't know, unless they
mean 'Uncle Sam.'" . atk vast amount of
property 'afterward passed through Wilson's
hands marked in the same manner, and he
was often joked upon the extent of his pos-
sessions. The joke spread through all the.
departments of the Government, and before
long the United States was popularly re-
ferred to as " Uncle Sam."—Ootober Ladies'

of the question.
During the past 52 weeks of 1896 we
have been telling you about what we sell.
This week -we would like to give you. a few
pointe s about what we buy.
BUTTER,—We handle an enormous
quantity of butter, but we do not buy all
the butter that is offered us. We want
GOOD Butter, and it must be in rolls of
about three pounds each. If it is not a
good color, put in a little butter color, it
does not affect the flavor, and • greatly lin-
proves the appearance.
EGGS.—Good fresh eggs are in de-
mand, but those that have been packed are
really not fresh eggs, and are not worth as
much. During the summer season we ship
probably more eggs than any store in the
county of Huron, no matter what season,
we will buy all the eggs you wish to
dis-
pose of.
DRIED APPLES.—We have just
completed another car lot of dried apples,
and during the rest of the season we will
make many more such shipments. Do not
slice apples. Cut j them in quarters, dry
them well, and don't forget to gore tbem.
Sliced apples are no use for shipment.
LARD. --It is a, fact that as much
care as is Accessary is not taken with lard.
You should pay particular attention and
see that it is well rendered. Before bring-
ing it to the store, take it out of the crock
or pan in which it is tooled, (this is easily
done by setting it in hot water,) wrap it in
a cloth,, and bring it in. If it is brought in
in a crock, we have to cut it out in pieces,
which taken too much time and spoils the
appearance.
TALLOW.—We can handle an un-
limited quantity of first.class tallow.
Now that we are entering a new year,
and remembering our success of 1896, we
are going to try and do better than ever be.
fore, and to have better goods at lower
prices.
A Happy and Prosporous Year to all.
