Somerville, Grand Trank Railway and steamborie agent: Mrs. Wm. Pickard, to Schenectady, New York ; Miss Lachance, to Gauen que ; Mrs. Lanese° and family, to Cornwall Miss MoDermid, Huron Road, to Cleveland, Ohio. HANDSOMELY- REMEMBERED.—MiSe Dora Langstroth, eldest daughter of Mr. Ieaao Langstroth, who has been book-keeper for the pate) three years for the Mulford & Petry Company and thei Michigan Street Car Advertising Company, of Detroit, has resigned her position and returned to her home here. That Mies Langstroth's ser- vices were appreciated by her employers and that Rho was held in high esteem by her associates was evidenced by the fact that just previous to her departure she was called into the office of the manager, who,on behalf of the two firms mentioned, present- ed her with a purse of gold, while Mr. Stook, an behalf of the employees, presented her with a beautiful 16 jeweled solid gold watch, bearing the following inscription: "With best wishes from the staffs et the M. & P. and M. S. 0. A. Companies, June 1903." Both of the presentations were ac- companied by suitable remarks • in which were embodied the best wishes of all for her future happinees and prosperity. FOOTBALL NOTES.—The Hurons hada eurprise up their sleeves for the Berlin tem when they visited that town last Friday. The Hurons had one chance of tieing in the championship race, and they did the best they could by clefeating the Rangers on their own grounds by a. score of one goal to none, in one of the best games of the series this yeer— Galt and the Broadviews were to have played in Galt on Saturday, but the Broadviews defaulted, thus giving Galt the championship. Had the Broadviews de- feated Galt, then there would have been a three -cornered tie between Galt, Berlin and Seaforth, but Galt have had their luck with them this year, and the championship is now theirs beyond dispute. The Hurons' record for this season is one win, three ties and one lose. Considering that , they have been matched against some of the beat clube of the Province, this is a record to be proud of even if they have barely missed the cham- pionship. The following are the Seatorth team : Goal, Graves ; backs, F. Sills, and Millar; half -backs, C. Sills, Charlesworth and McLeod; forwards, J. McDonald, A. McDonald, Morrison, Finlayson and Brownlee. The Galt champions lefe on Wednesday for their month's torr in Mani- toba. They will play 17 games in all. The first game will be played atOwen Sound on Thursday. Fifteen players and a few -supporters will make up the party. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A very sad and fatal accident occurred on the 4th concession of Hibbert, about five miles from Seatorth, on Thursday of last week, binwhich Mr. Wm. Allan, a respeoted residerit of that town- ship, lost his life. It seems that Mr. Allan had recently completedthe digging of a well, and on the day in gnestion was en- gaged in removing a pump from another well to this one. When carrying one of the loge of the pump in his arms from one well to the othenihis feet in some way slipped from undertim, and he fell on his back, the log falling on him and striking him across the side of the forehead, killing him in- stantly. His young. son, about fourteen years of age, was with him at the time, and, on removing the log from his father, he was horrified to discover that he was dead. 'Medical aid was sent for, but, of course, nothingnould be done, as it was evident death had been instantaneous. The deceas- ed leaves a widow and family of four child- ren, the oldest of whom is about fourteen. Mrs. Allan iii a daughter of Mr. James C. Reid, of Seaforth. Mr. Allan was an in- dustrious, well doing man, who was highly esteemed in the neighborhood and by all who knew hien Much sympathy is felt for the sadly bereaved widow and family, who have been so suddenly deprived of their provider and beat friend. The remains were interred in the Staffa cemetery on Sat- urday. Mr. Allan was just 38 years of age. THE OTHER SIDE —A good, old subscriber at Ripley, Bruce county, in sending his eub- soription to THE EXPOSITOR, relieves his mind and hie conscience by telling; us just what he thinks of us. But it its evident that his bark is a good deal more tferocious than his bite, for his remittance covers nearly two year in advance. If all our subscribers would do likewise, we would not mare very much what they 'night say about us, as we know that actions always speak very much more strongly than words. He says : " Several of your subschibers plaster you up with what a fine paper k you send them, and you in turn blarney up G. W. Ross, what a puritan he is. ;You surely know the man better. Life is a hum- bug anyway. I suppose you hardly rgalize how much you are really indebted to i Old Satan for introducing death into the world; yes, those stupid Scotch of ai past era. Some of the contributors to your paper, if death would hurry up and take a Iot more of them, then your paper would be greetly improved. Yon fawn too much around Ross, but I sympathize with you in your affliction. These Scotch contributors of news send -the shells and keep the news. Now, this is not fair either to you nor to us poor mortals, who have to read it and pay for the trash. In writing about' the sale of horses or cattle, instead of giving the price, the stupid fools merely say that they fetched a good penny. There is neither eense nor news in such items. The reader wants the price and not the chaff. „ Yes, it is the dollars that we all want. You do not care a continental for the blarney of your subsoribers if the $ does not accom- pany it. Ib is the price that we want to read about, and not the length of the hair on the cattle nor the length of their tails, nor whether Christie MoCloon or Tena Soratoh visited the brutes or chickens. Get up, old nag, and keep up with the times." • THE FIRST.—Weather hot enough for any person was what we got for Dominion Day, but the heat didn't seem to keep people from celebrating, and judging by the crowd that gathered on the grounds in the after- noon, moat people stayed at home to cele- brate. In the morning the bowlers had a little tournament among themaelvea. There was a large number of the members on the green and some close games were played. At the recreation grounds the Clinton and Seaforth juniors played a schedule lacrosse game, which restated in a victory for Clin- ton by a score of five goals to feet. In the afternoon a big crowd gathered on the recreation grounds. The firat game was in the W. F. A. series, between the Broad - views, of Toronto, and the Hurons. The players seemed to have a little touch of the weather and the game was inclined to drag at times. The score was three to nothing in favor of the Hurons. Next came the lacrosse game between St. Marys and the Beavers and it was one _of the scrappiest games we have seen herd for many a day and resembled very much the Stratford- Seaforth games of loeg ago. St. Marys oamedup by special train and brought) with them a big bunoh of supporters. Both • teams were out to win, and the game was as hot as the weather from the beginning till its rather uneatiefactory end. Se. Marys got the firse goal, but the Beavers soon tied and gradually drew away until early in the last quarter the score was five to two in their favor. Than they seemed to get an THE HURON EXPOSITOR attack of the rattles, for in a fiw minutes St. Marys had plugged in three and the score was a tie, which wasn'e broker when time was called. The Beavers wished to continue, but St. Marys objected, and it was finally agreed that the game go as a draw, to be played off on neutral grounds. About seven o'clock we got the tail end of a thunder storm which, to a considerable extent interfered with the promenade con- cert. ‘However, ie wasn't long before it cleared off, and a fair crowd wane to the grounds. • A GOOD PROMOTION.—The many friends eof Mr. M. Irwin, son of Mr, George Irwin, of Alma, who has been railroading for some years in Michigan, will be pleased to learn that his abilities have been recognized by the railway company in the way of a sub- stantial promotion. lidr. Irwin was, for a number of years, agent of the Pere Mar- quette Railway at Deokerville, Mi3higan, but has now been promoted to the .agency of the gompany at Yale, on the main line between Port Huron and Saginaw. He has under him a day and night operator, a cashier, and a baggage -man, while he gets a salary of $105 a month. ,This is -another evidence that tile boys of old Huron make their mark in the land of Uncle Sam. DEATH OF MRS. DAVID HAY.—It is with feelings of the einoerest regret that we chronicle the death of Mrs. David Hay, which occurred on Sunday, June 7th, at her home in Seaforth. Mrs. Hay had been ill for a long time, and during her illneas she never complained of her suffering, and at times she, would have bright hopes of get- ting better, but God called her home in the prime of life. She was a good and kind woman and was beloved by all who knew her. Her maiden name was Mary Ann Strong. She leaves a husband and four children, three boys and one girl, to mourn the lose of a loving wife and mother. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to the be- reaved family and friends. The remains were interred in the Egmonclville cemetery, on Thursday; June llth. The large number who attended the funeral shcrived the esteem in which deceased was held.—COM. • Parie Green.
