A firstsclas chartered bank started in town, with- out a lock-up in connection. Lawn tennis and baseball matches be more numerous. The baseball boys to get together and practise occasionally. The Firemen tcacollar first prize wheu they go to Listowel, next month. A few of the sidewalks repaired. Plenty of accommodation at the Public School for scholars when school re- opens. Business to begin to boom shortly. Say, Geordie, why don't you wear a pair of top boots, knee pants and a helmet, and sport a Rem- ington rifle occasionally ? the boys would then take you for a first-class hunter, the guests of Mae Lmfield. Miss Sophia Card, of Goderieh, is spending a few days with her friend, Miss Maggie Horton. W. Fraser, of Windsor, is spending his holidays here as the guest of his cousin, Albert Carter. The farmers are very 'busy with the hay which proves in many cases a far better crop than was expected. Many sturdy lads and lassies may 1, be seen wending their way to the - berry bush with pails swinging on t their arm. Raspberries seem like d most other fruit, rather scarce around here. b A fine white goat arrived here a • few days since and as it has taken up its lodgings quite near to the I O.G.T. -.shall will doubtle4s come very handy. n ‘Vho is to have the.first ride. Don't I all come at -once. ONLY FAIR. -A traveller, known to some residents of this town, took his dinner once at one of the large hotels of a city. He had with him a a portmanteau and unconsciously took it with him into the dining room and placed it on a vacant chair beside him at the table, After a while the waiter came around to col- lect and charged the same for the portmanteau as for the traveller, it occupying one seat at the table. Our friend, after paying all dues, turns to the portmanteau as ing,`Look hear, I have paid for you therefore you will have to eat,' and opening it he filled it with the choicest viands from the table, THE LORD'S WILL BE DONE. -We are sorry to have to write of the very serious illness of him who was at one time one of gingham's most respect - citizens, Mr Thorington. Some few years ago, his health failing, be left Wingham for Colorado, where he de- rived much benefit,and finally settled down in Denver. A few weeks ago he came to Wingham in order to pay his nephew, W. G. Chapman, a visit, and Was planning to leave again on Wednesday, but on Saturday he was taken bad with dysentery. On Sun- day it assumed very dangerous symp- toms, Monday, there were three doc- tors in consultation, and on Tuesday they thought he would not live until morning. Thegentleman in question hasdone a good deal for Wingham, erected quite a number of of buildings and expended quite a sum of money, but Alas 1 his work now is almost finished. STILL BOOMING. -Although of late your correepondent has been silent it is more than our town has been,for we are still booming in Wingham. A by-law was passed on Monday for a new town hall, by a majority of 76. It is to be built by fall and to be a hall worthy of our town. Messrs Hutton and Carr will also soon have their roller mill completed, and will be able to compete in quality against any mill in Canada. Mr Bell is showing Wingham that the fire did not burn away his enterprise, as he is rebuilding and hopes to be running in about a month. Mr Chapman has nearly completed the improve- ments at his tannery, greatly enlarg- ing it. Our worthy council is also spending quite a sum of money upon our sidewalks, which needed repair very badly. They are also contem- plating two other good features viz., lighting up of the town,and the build- ingof a High School. The latter especially we feel would greatly bene- fit the tows. We also learn that the G. T. R. 'contemplates building a new depot this summer. . • Holmesville. Mrs 0. Disney returned from Mani- toba ism Saturday last. She says the crops out west are very poor indeed. Our village is improving in appear- ance, It can now support a new town pump. A new sign board would still further improve the ap- pearance of the public equare. Mr J. L. Courtice andwife left on Tuesday last for Chicago, St. Paul's and other western points. They in- tend to visit friends in Dakota before their return, which will be in about four weeks. Mr W. Stanley is doing quite an extensive business in connection with his agency, as he has eold a large number of binders and mowers. His machines appear to give very general satisfaction. Any parties wanting anything in his line of business will find him williag to accomodate the Public as far as posssble. Goderich Township. SKIPPED. -A man named ItIcDon ald, who has been a tenant on the farm of Mr Alex. Welsh, left for parte unknown on Friday night. A chattel mortgage covered his effects, but this did not prevent him taking with him all that was moveable. Mr Welsh will take the crop, but he is hardly in a shape to gather it in as quickly as it should be gathered,for he has no team. Tuckersmith Mr W. Robb ie home from Dakota, he reports things as looking pretty flat out there at present. Haying is about over in this vicins ity. It is one of the heaviest crops that has been gathered for several years' Mr Robert Plews, who has been on the sick list for a long time, fa still very low,but we are:glad to say is out of danger. Mr Josiah White has purchased a half interest in Mr H. Evans' thresh- ing machine and the'new firm will now be known as Evans & White. Joe is a hustler and those desiring good threshing would do well to secure their services. Subscribe for the Clinton NEVI Eas, and get all the home News. • . Don't forget the Band of Hope en-.

He also spoke on religious topics, on Tuesday and three following days of this week. Mr Watson is an excellent speaker and all who have had the pleasure of listening to him must have appre- ciated his efforts and profited thereby. The championship lacrosse match,' which took place on the recreation grounds here, last Friday afternoon, between Stratford and the Beavers, of this place, was witnessed by at least two thousand petiole. Many were present from Stratford, Clinton,Gode- nch and other neighboring ' places. The store in town were closed from four to six o'clock, thus enabling the employees to take in the game. The game was well contested and was the moat exciting and interesting one played here this 'reason. After nearly three hours playing the game was de- cided in favor of Stratford, by three goals to two, when it should have been at least a tie, ono goal fairly won by the Beavers being disallowed. We understand the Beavers have en- tered a protest against the decision of the umpire. Summerhill. Farmers are about through haying and have commenced the harvest. Mr G. M.

Fruit is veryscarce. Potatoes promise a good yield, where not killed by the wet. Hay is an extra heavy crop, and almost all farmers wear smiling faces. All we want is good prices and no doubt next year's business will be all on the cash principle. Won't it be glorious. The Mitchell Advocate thus alludes to a former Huronite :-" We con- gratulate Dr Wood on having joined the grand army of benedicte. On Wednesday he was married in To- ronto to Mies Maggie Builder, a most worthy goung lady who was for rome years a resident of Mitchell. The ceremony was performed by Rev G". Wallace, assisted by Rev W. A. Hunter, and Mr S. A. Hodge, Mitch- ell, acted as groomaman, and Miss Maggie Fallarton, cousin of the bride, as bridesmaid.

Not a big rasp- berry, but big, raspberry, festival. A Visiton, - A gentleman has been in this, vicinity for a few days whose name will be ' remembered by those who resided here many years ago, but whose form and features have so Changed that his most intimate friends then Scarcely know him now. Twenty-eight years ago John Mc- Naughton, who was born on the 5th con. of Stanley, left here for the other side. It was just while the American war was in progress, and some time afterwards he enlisted, putting in three years service as a cavalry -man, and coming out without having re- ceived a scratch or wound, in any way. At one time he pia in sixty days continuous service in the saddle, with only the trifling rest that could be snatched at different times. His visit here at the present time is in connection with a legacy left him by his uncle, the late D. H. Ritchie. Almost the only one left hereabouts with whom Mr McNaughton chumm- ed when a boy is Mr James Arm- strong, they having gone to the same school and gqt whaled by the same master togetUer. Mr McNaughton's home is in Illinois. Stanley. DEATH OP AN OLD SETTLER. -One of the finest men as well as one of the earliest settlers of Stanley, passed away on Monday, .in the person of Mr Thos. McIntyre, of the 8th con of Stanley. Forty years ago deceased settled here, and for all that time he has been an esteemed neighbor and highly respected resident. He was one of the staunchest members of the Methodist church ; in politics a con= servative, and had been ailing for some time before his death, at the age of 74 years. His wife, three un married daughters and a son survive him; on the; farm ; he has two eons away, and a married daughter. His funeral on Wednesday, to Bayfield cemetery, was largely attended. He Disappointed the Machine The Toronto Telegram says :-Rev W. F. Wilson was a serious disap pointment to the politicians who ex pected him to appear at the Orange demonstration in Wingham as a partisan instead of a Protestant'. The Orange association in Huron is no free from men who try to 080 the en- thusiasm of the brethren as an agen for promoting the success of the great Conservative party. The scene o the demonstration was in the constit- uency represented by Peter McDon- ald, one of the Grit !members of the noble thirteen. The organizers of the celebration had failed to invite him to attend, and Mr Wilson was warned that it might be as well if he did not dwell too much upon the merits of Gide .who stood up to be counted against the allowance of the Jesuit Bill. The- orator of the day heard everything and said nothing until he was called upon to speak. Then he disappointed the mkchine men by eloquently singling out their enemy McDonald as a man worthy of honor, and amid the cheers of the rank and file urged his hearers to make every lodge Nom the headquarters of a committee that would work for the return at the next election of one who had been true to their principles. His speeph was ' popular with the masses, although it failed to satisfy the lead - ere who had their own axes to grind. Jan. Oliver, of Brnaseis, Last Friday a was repairing a fence, and as he was driving the last nail, completing the job, it flew and struck him in the right eye, destroying the sight at once. Tho old gentlethan, who is npwards 01 73 years of age, has suffered a good deal' of pain but hopes to soon get about no. The other Illye has not been affected we are pleased to state. a Old Skedunk Again. Well, I'm just into harvest now, and I've got to wok for all Pna • worth. Last year the crop was so light that I could wheel it on a barrow, but this year • the hay rack will have to make several trips before it is all hauled in. Hang it, anyhow. I growled about it being too light then, and I suppose -I must growl about it .being too heavy now. Say, what do you think hey'll fetch this year ? Don't know eh give it up. Well, it'll fetch three tons to the acre and a ton.and-a-half to the load when sold by "me and the hired man, and the binding pole stay on when its weighed. I was over to neighbor Smith's the other day, and. -after we'd --light our - pipes and taken a swig from the jug under the cellar stairs,. we talked' over the hard times. You see Smith had just bought a new top buggy, half int- erest in a thresher, the 50 acres across the road for one of his, boys, and was trying a deal for a swamp lot further down the road, and he said he'd never had such hard times in all his born -days; he -didn't really know what he d do. He'd like to pay a few store bills that had been standing for a couple of years, but he guessed they d have to wait over till after he threshed any- how. It wouldn't make much differ- ence, he thought, and really he didn't see why the stooekeeper should be so• anxious about it. He wasn't going to bother himself, anyhow, just then. Miss Smith and Mr Jim Jones, that's Tom Jones' eldest boy over the way, came in and I saw that my room was preferable to my company, so I got up and left. OLD SHRDIINR. .10 Entrance Examination.

Not feeling as well as usual a consul- tation of physicians was decided on and these gentlemen came to the conclusion that an inward cancer was doing its work and that life at the longest would not continue more than n few months. Last Sunday internal hemorrhage set in and death soon followed. Dakota Wheat Cirop. ' The New York Herald publishes 030 following special despatch from Janfgh town, Dakota; The great drouth of 1889 has Stritek the farmers of North Dakota a mow from which they cannot recover a year. So much of their grain was ruin.. ed by frost in 1$88 'that they were eb. liged to mortgage their farms .to get funds for necessary expenses and ask • the Territory through the Legislature for seed wheat. They began the season financial wrecks, hoping that a bountiful chop would place them on their feet,and-noW cornea their drought, and poverty stares them in the face. They can raise no more money on their ldnd, and it is absolutely certain that money must be raised by subscription t,o keep many of them through the winter. I have just made a trip through the counties of Cass, Barnes, Stutsman, Foster, 'Eddy, Ramsey, Nelson and Grand Fora's, and in none of those will the wheat yield over S5per cent, of an average crop. This, too, in the great centre of the No. 1 hard belt. Thousands of acres are burned as brown as a forest in October, and into, many 'fields no reaper will be put. Only here ancPthere a field which was drilled in indicates a good stand _and -a yield. Grain that was sown broadcast was blown out of the ground by heavy winds in May. Almost nc rain whatever fell - from the time the wheat was sown in the spring until the second week in July. In the counties west of Devil's Lake the -outlook is much better, but that section is thinly settled and the acreage will be small. " North Dakota will have very • little wheat to sell,probablyiess,than 10,000,- 000 bushels, and most of this will be • harvested in the tier of counties along the Red river. In other Elections not enough will be raised for bread and seed. Ramsey county will have to buy both flour and seed. Pembina will not have more than a quarter crop, and the con-. dition of affairs is so ominous in Nelson county that a -public meeting has been held to devise ways and means to bridge over the necessities of destitute farmers fol. the winter. A large committee of wealthy men was appointed to solicit aid for the des- titute, and the supervisors of towns were appointed as 'distributing agents. In Eddy and Foster counties the pro- spects have become so discouraging that the tarmers have hired out in large numbers to the Jamestown and North- ern as railway graders. THE CROPS. -From reports receiv- ed from differept authentic sources, such as the Ontario Bureau of Indus- tries, and.from the various agents of large ipsurance companies, crops all. around never had a more promising outlook. True, the fruit will be a' general failure, but the staples,wheat, barley, oats, etc., are all right, and upon these, with beef, cheese, horses , and poultry, do we look for our pros- 4 perity and national wealth. The but- , ter and cheese production up to this . •. date have been larger than any pre- vious year, not only on account of an increase in the number of factories, but also the yield, on account of the 'favorable weather and luxuriant pas- tures, has been prolific. Then the price has been fairly remunerative up to this time, 8i to 9 cents for com- paratively green cheese. And on account ot the shortage of European cattle, prices are.gradually advancing in European markets. It need hard-, ly be eaid that sheep are scarce and pay remunerative peltee, and there is • a keen demand for all' he salable horses we have. When we consider. that the crops in our own North-west and in similar latitudes in the United States are comparative failures, On- tario never bad better prospects. The , wealth of a province consists in what she produces over and above what she consumes. This is wealth, and . certainly we shall have an abundance this year to spine. When crops are good the whole financial and commer- i;fifotriitehebuccrokpea and productioua are really the bases t ttiriDared with the great producing areas of the world, yet Ontario, with pr tchiaolum;chklo machinery mu or v pe h upon which everything reels! A1, a given acreage, can vie with any other agricultural community in this or the Old World. There has been a favorable hay harvest, and this. crop has been got in in good condition. The wheat and barley harvest com- menced this week, and it only re- quires a few fine days to get these crops safely garnered. The only coo- it' • tingency that one of the best crops si that Ontario has ever seen depends ( upon, is the weather between now and harvesting the late oats, and un less this is abnoimal the oat crop is one of the finest that has ever been grown. All around the country was never in better shape, and everything forebodes a prosperous season ARE YOU A DELINQUENT?
