This we consider a wise step, and worthy �f being followed by all eountry and village stores. Ai all well know it is the ouetom for general atoree to be- open very late every night, far later than necessary, if the public would be a little more considerate. Mer- chants are confined to their place of busi- ness for longer hours than is good for their health. A public holiday is not even ob- served, although it oould be well enjoyed. We feel satiefied that if the public, particul- arly the country people, would kindly con- sider the matter and do their trading earlier as on other evenings than thoee specified, they would be doing a kind act, and give the storekeeper a few hours that he could call his own, and at the same time not inconven- ience themselves. We trust, the people will favorably consider thie matter, and bear in mind the evenings stores are to be dosed, Tuesday and Friday evenings at 7 o'olock, on and after Tuesday, June 18th. -Baows,—Mr. Charles McDonald, of To- ronto, visited at his father's home, on the Bronson line, last week.—Mr. George Mc- Donald is visiting friends in Toronto.—Miss Rota Stanbury, Bayfield's elocutionist, took part in a concert in Exeter, on the 24th. —The survey steamer Bayfield is engaged in surveying the east shore of Lake, Huron, with headquarters at Goderich, Several of the boys from here, who are working on her, got home on Sunday.—Communion services will be held in the Presbyterian church on Sabbath next..—Victoria Day passed off quietly in Bayfield, A large number of people from the neighboring towns and country eatne to the lake for a day's fishing and picnicing, but the day was rather cold for comfort. -Our village council has at last taken action in the mat- ter of electric light, and we expect to again have our streetslighted in a few weeks.—We notice that Mr. S.

DEATH.—On Saturday, May 18th, Mr. James Ryan, one of the oldest residents and most highly respected citizens of MoKillop, was called away to his eternal reward. Mr. Ryan had not enjoyed very good health for the past few yeare, but it was not until the past year that his family and friends feared that the disease was making such de- etructive progress. Mr. Ryan was born at St. Columba, province of Quebec, sixty•five years ago, and at the age of ten years moved with his parents to McKillop, where he has resided ever since. At twenty-six years of age he married Margaret Kelly, sister of the late Patrick Kelly, of Blyth, and settled on a farm of fifty acres, but carried forward by the noble principles of industry, perseverance and honesty, he soon gained for himself a comfortable home and many friends. Mr. Ryan possessed many -excellent qualities of manhood. Honesty, integrity and sobriety gained for him the honor and respect of all who knew him. To him all classes of people were alike, and his kind and generous heart was never more happy than when he was per- forming some act of kindness towards his fellow men. He leaves behind to mourn his lose his wife and seven children, four boys and three girls; also three brethers. The members of his own family are, Dr. Thomas L. Ryan of Saginaw, Michigan; James, who is Ryan, college at Sandwich, On* tario ; Patrick, William, John and Catherine who remain at home Mrs. Wm. Phelan, of Morris, and l)eirs. B.

That's not what we're in business kr. We want you to buy all your boys' suits from us. Quality up and prices down is our tonetant endeavor. . • • The . . . E. MCFAUL Dry Goods Co.

The council decided to meet contractors at the Broadfoot bridge on Wednesday, June 5th, at 3 o'clock, for the purpose of letting a contract for wid- ening the north approach to the said bridge. They will also be at the Campbell bridge on the same day at 5 o'clock, for the purpose of letting a contract. for repairing the south abutment, which was undermined during the spring freshet. The council have lost track of the township scrapers, and would like if parties who know of their whereabouts would kindly let them know. Nunierous complaints have reached the council from the east of Hensall regard- ing a custom of the villagers of dumping refuse on the highway. As this is quite it nuisance, we hope the villagers will take warning and find some other place for their refuse.
