Football.—The Hurons played their
first senior championship game of
-the season at Galt on Victoria, Day,
A large number went down with the
boys' to cheer them on, if possible,
to vietory, although the majority
were not very sanguine, and it was
generally considered the boys would
do well on the Galt grounds, to keep
the score down to a small one and
this they did to .'perfection.' Ih was
not long °Ater play started, that
Galt seored the only -goal of the
game, and after that_ _neither side
pould make a tally, although beth
worked. hard, The Hurons ,will more
than make uP for this defeat in the
return game here.

delightful, a genuine spring da and
it was a pleasure to be in. the open

bowling green enjoyed their, f vor-
ite pastime; a good many enjo ed a
day's fishing and reveled in thealux-
urles of nature in the fields and

Olde Times Cancerte.—As a town
we are proud, and justly so, of our
local talent, so that we expected
eornething of a treat when the en-
tertainment under the auspices of
the Junior Ladies' Aid of the Presby-
terian church, was advertised. The
expectations, however, were more
than realize.d Oar the entertainment
iiim.s one of the beet ever given in the
town. It consisted of three parts,
an old fashioned donation party at
which Professor Sing is introduced
and solicits members for his" skewl."
Next comes the old. time Singing
Skewl in the little school houseeivith
the master's desk, the deeks and
benches ,for -the pupils and the spel-
ling cards hanging on the walls_ and
in which the lads and lasses, in their
every day clothes, are busy pre-
paring for the coming concert. Then
follows the concert when the per-
formers are all in their Sunday best.
Tpe maids in the old fashioned pan-
nier frocks and powdered hair and
the. boys in knee breeches and. cut-
away emats af bright color'S and pow-
dered wigs. The first two parts
were exceedingly funny and the costum.es, especially those of the young
tpupils were so typical that every
one laughed. But the funny
, . , for the
Nt,
es !rot all that vr
enjoyed
singing of the old choruses and par+
songs was just splendid and gave ev-
idence of the 111,0S1 careful training.
In the zoncert this training was
further evidenced in the solo by MISS
3Y1eFaul with •full chorus, that of
Miss Laidlaw and Mr. Butgard, the
reoltation by MisS Hazel Reid, the
ladies' chorus, gentlemen's chorus,
elle Japanese chorus by the little
.girls and the "Tally Ho " song
which was one of the prettie,st num-
bers on the programme. When
ithere Are so many good things one
:cannot particularize but Mr. Len-
non, as the pareon, L. T. De Lacy, as
Professor Sing; Miss Stephens, as
Mrs, 'Gossip ; Mrs. Meredith, as Aunt
Susan and Miss McFaul, Misses
Gladys Henderson, C, Cardno,Gertie
Laidlaw and Mr. G. Israel as the
junior meinbers of the "Skew)."
were among those who took the
mot important parts and they, were
yee114sustained by the others. Suf-
ficient praise cannot be given to
Miss McFaul for the manner in
which she trained the singers and
the perfect management of every
thing on the stage. It meant an
endless task to her and those who
took part and it must be exceed-
ingly gratifying to them that their
efforts were so successful. The bou-
quet of exquisite American Beauty
roses, that was presented to Miss
McFaul at the close of her solo, by
those taking part, showed they were
highly appreciative of all he had
done in the getting up of the enter-
tainment. Miss McFaul was also
very efficiently assisted by Mrs.
IVIeredith and Miss Stephens.

Is the word we would emphasize in connection
with spring and summer buying, for NOW is
the best time to get the best choice of all that
we have gathered together for you. A month
or so later the assortment will be much broken
and the very things you need, and expect to
buy, by that time, will be sold out. We are
prepared for a busy MAY, so you can depend
upon getting a good choice in any department.
The following items are only a sprinkling of
MAY attractions,
Away back in January, we purchased from an American
firm eeveral piecee of pretty Mualins for waistinge and
dreesee. It was our intention to 0611 these goo& at twenty
cents per yard, but the quantity being greater than we ex-
pected it would he, we have decided to close thorn out this
month at ten cents per yard, ilsre'a your chance now for
new umte-date goods at HALF PRICE.
We not Often that you get a ehanee so early in
the lesson to buy hindsome thirty five cent
goods Jr a -gear-ter, but you have the °pp r-
tunity NOW. They are in od,1 lengths of from
ten to eighteen yards each. All white Grounds
with nice brocade patterns and stripes. If you
haven't yet bought pear white drum or waist
you'll not gee a better chance this aeason
This thirty cent value, which you get for a quarter, is an
exceptionally good quality, well made and properly ehaped
for comfortable wear in warm weather. They are a nice
light weight, soft ribbed cotton, high neck, long sleeves,
buttoned front, neck finibhed. with Edging and Tape. Al
sizes, white or natural.
If you experience any difficulty in getting good
strong stockinge for the boys, try these. They
are just as they are advertised, thirty-five cent
stockings for a quarter. Heavy ribbed cotton,
and the color is guaranteed to keep BLACK to
the finish. Dont throw away good money for
poor etookinge. Buy the best when you can
get them for 25e per pair.
This sounds like a big rednerion, and so it is, but
there's a reason for it. They are short ends from
this season's melting, not enough in some cues for a
full dress, but enough for a skut or a waist. They
will answer the purpose just as well ae if you paid
the full price for them. you will find quite a variety
of patterns and oolorings, perhaps tornething you
will like.
