MISS FLORA JAMES,
going to Mr. Blow and the woodwork to
Mr. W. H. Clegg. The work is to be
pushed as rapidly as possible.
We are indebted to Darby Bros., the
hardware men, of Fordwich, for a jar of
as fine honey as was ever placed. on a
table. We congratulate their patrons
on the fact that this enterprising firm
did not by any means exhaust their
supply in their editorial generosity but
have still a large quantity on hand.
Mr. Thos.Wheatcroft, the well -lawn
Palmerston butcher, was in townzss-
terday and purchased Mr. Laird's fix-
tures. He will return early next week

the public may rest assured of being
well served. , His adv. appears else-
where in this issue.
Miss Eva Croll, who has been visiting
relatives here and at Clinton lately, re-

The Brass Band will serenade on

Quite a serious stabbingy�affray took
place here last week, the victim being
Mr. Cameron, formerly tenant of Air.
Wm. Johnston, the party who did the
cutting. It seems there has been some
trouble between them ever since Cam-
eron left the hotel. Johnston went to
Cameron on the day in question and
another quarrel ensued. Cameron was
ejecting him out of the yard when John-
ston stabbed him three times. Two
of the wounds are of a trifling , na-
ture, but one of them- is: very. severe
and dangerous, and may yet cause seri-
ens trouble. Johnson was' committed
for trial by Reeve Sanders and Mr.
Robert Miller, J. P.
Mrs. John Rutherford left here last
Friday to join her husband at the ' Soo,

The new brick schoolhouse on the 4th
con., just south of Gorrie, is not yet
completed, so the pupils of that section
are enjoying longer holidays than usual.
The schoolhouse on the 6th -con., near
Fordwich, is also being veneered and
renovated, the repairs preventing the
re -opening of school for a week or two
yet.
A large amount of grain has already
been threshed in Howick, and the work
is being vigorously pushed every day.
Although a good crop, fall wheat does
not come up to what the appearance in-
dicated and several heavy fields of grain
produced only about 25 bushels to the
acre. The farmers, however, appear
well satisfied with their crop.
Mrs. Geo. Green, of Wingham, is
spending a few weeks with her mother,
Mrs. Allison. Her daughter, Miss Sadie,
accompanied her.
Mr. Fred Critch, of Seaforth, passed
through here yesterday on a safety. He
was on his return home from a bicycle

Miss McIntyre, of Seaforth, for the
past three years of the Mitchell post
office, and an experienced operator,t ekes
the place of Miss Hattie Walker at the
wicket of the Corrie post office. She
comes with the highest testimonials and
recommendations and our postmaster is
to be congratulated upon securing so
able a successor to the popular Miss
Walker, who leaves town tomorrow,
much to the regret to the host of warm
friends she has made in this section.
The stars and stripes which was
hoisted on the liberty pole in Gorrie on
the Twelfth of July as a practical joke,
still floats there, and all efforts to bring
it down have failed, the rope having
stuck fast to the pulley.
Messrs. Jas. Dickson, B. A., Mathe-
matical Master of Brockville High
School, Geo. M. Dickson, of Chicago,
stenographer and book-keeper, and Miss
Lizzie Dickson, of Seaforth, visited

The result of the entrance examina-
tions are given later than usual this year,
and the returns, especially from the
Harriston High School, are very incom-
plete, neither the schools from which
the pupils come . nor the number of
marks obtained, being given. The Edu-
cational Department, like the mills of
the gods, grinds slowly. A few more
additions to the delays will make their
reports unnecessary as the children will
have become old men and women before
they learn whether they have passed or
not. Those who wrote for certificates
are still worse off for they do not find
out whether they are qualified to teach
or not till after , the fall school term be-
gins. The whole system iithenlel be 1e -

On Friday, August 26th, the summer
race meeting will be held on the new
half -mile track, Brussels, commencing
at 2 p. m., sharp. The program com-
prises :--2:50 trot or pace ; three-quar-
ter mile run ; open trot or pace, and
2:30 stallion race. The Directors of the
Association are giving $700 in purses.
This will insure good fields and persons
interested in racing may expect to see
exciting sport. Brussels Band will be
present. New grand stand with seating
capacity for over 500 people, is now.
complete.
The stock of Clegg's hardware store
was sold on Tuesday. Mr. J. H. Cline,
of Wingham, got the hardware at 41+ in
the $, and Mr. Thos. Rae, of Wroxeter,
the groceries and crockery at 68e. Mr.
Rae has re -purchased the hardware
stock from Mr. Cline, and will continue
the business in the old stand. He is a
sterling business man, has good connec-
tion in this section and will draw a
large trade. Read his advertisement in
another column.
On Tuesday's mail from the east we
received a news -letter from oar Lakelet
correspondent which had been written
about the middle of June, and which
had spent the greater part of two
months on the journey to this office --a
journey which would occupy less than
two hours if Lakelet was connected
with Gerrie, instead of Clifford, by stage
service. In this ease, of course, the de-
lay was caused through an error some-
where in the postal department, but it
is at best, a tedious route from Lakelet
to Gorrie by mail. We have several
times drawn attention to this defect,
which almost separates northern How -
ick from Huron county, and we hope
that_the matter will shortly be taken up
by the public which is served by Hunt
ingfield and Lakelet offices so that they
may get better and more rapid postal
connection. The proposed scheme
would give both Huntingtiel&and Lake -
let a daily .postal service, and _ about` as
cheap- as the present cumbersome
were passed

Rev. 3. W. Mahood, of Sioux City,
Iowa, with wife and family, arrived here
last Thursday to pay a visit to his
father, Mr. R. Mahood. He preached
in the Methodist church here on San -

will do so again next Sunday evening,
He has lost none of the vigor which
characterized his work here some years
ago.
While Mrs. Williams was at church
on Sunday last five young vandals stole
all the flowers off her collection of
plants. The act was -a very mean one,
and should be severely punished. It is
but justice to say that it was not com-
mitted by Fordwich boys, the guilty
parties being all from the surrounding
country.
Fordwich school captured the gold
and silver medal at the recent Harris -
ton= , High School examination. The
former was won by Wm. Mahood and
the latter by Milton Carter. We are
proud of our teaeher and our boys.
