Early on Friday morning Mamie,
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Black, died after a short
illness. But a few days before her
death deceased was around town
apparently in the bloom of health
that foreshadows a charming woman-
hood, hence the news of het• untime-
ly death was a great surprise to the
many friends of the family. On
Saturday afternoon, the remains
were interred in the family plot in
Maitland Cemetery in presence of a
large number of sorrowing relatives
and friends : Messrs J. Brophy, W.
Black, D. Johnston, W. Graham,
Isaac McKenzie -and F. Johnston
being the pallbearers. On ,the
casket were a large number of pretty
floral tributes, prominent among
which were a wreath from Clara
Reynolds, a pillow from Miss Davis,
a bunch of white lillies from Mrs.
Malcornsonand a cross from Mr. F.
W. Johnston. For the past few
Sundays the late Miss Black, had
had charge of a class in St. George's
church Sund ky School, a duty she
performed G" `"the advantage of all
concerned, and her early demise
will be greatly fell by the little ones
of her class who where learning to
love her dearly. The feeling in the
town and neighborhood over this
sudden call is ono of general Byrn
pathy for the sorrowing mother and
members of deceased's family.
As anticipated there was a large
gathering at the complimentary
concert tendered Miss Cooke in the
Grand Opera House do Friday
evening, and the excellency of the
bill of fare provided, was a worthy
tribute to a talented and popular
musician. It is not our intention
to itemize the performance, as with
one exception the vocalists wore all
well known- to the audience, except
to say that the numbers allotted
them were vocalized in a manner to
enhance every individual reputation.
The exception was a young gentle-
man who was somewhat nervous on
his first appettranee, but as he evi-
dently has an excellent voice he has
only to gain confidence to attain a
high position as a vocalist. Mr.
R. G. Reynolds, who arranged the
programme, gave us one of the beat,
if not the very boat, concert ever
given in Goderich, and hie tact in
arranging such an array of talent is
deserving the thanks of all present
on the occasion. The names on
the programme were :—Mrs. Moor -
house, Mrs. (Prof.) Cooke, Misses
Radcliffe, Chilton, Graham, and
Rinee, and Mosars Reynolds, R. S.
Williame," Belcher, Richardson,
Anderson and Young. Miss Cooke,
Mies Trueman and Mr. Richardson
accompanied the various singers.

In consequence of not being able to

occasion it devolved upon the in-
cumbent 16 officiate, At the after-
noon service the church was crowd-
ed to its utmost capacity. Notwith-
standing a large number of extra
seats had been put in many had to
go away. After the usual prayers
Rev. G. W. Racey took for his text
Col. 3rd Chap. 15th verse, from
which he delivered an impressive
and eloquent discourse to the large
congregation present. In the even-
ing another large congregation was
present the Rev. gentleman taking
a suitable text for the occasion from
Isaiah, which was -listened to with
marked attention.' Tho musical
portion of the services was well
rendered by tho excellent choir, the
congregation joining heartily in the
praises with them. The organist,
Miss Ruth Jones, played several

grand. Tho offertory at both servi-
ces was good.

From what can be gleaned of
public sentiment the bonus and
loan by-law for roller mill and
planing factory, to be voted on
here on the 10th September, is
likely to carry. These industries
will not only be of great benefit to
the town but will be of much con-
venience to the farmers in the
vicinity. With the undoubted ad-
vantages we possess as a pleasant
summer resort and the establishing
of the industries mentioned, pro-
bably to be followed by others
once the ice is broken, one may be
pardoned for assuming that there is
in the near future a silver lining to
the somewhat dark cloud that has
been hovering over us for some
time.

BLYTH
the first attraction in the way of'.p
business boom was Mr. Moutray'n
brick yard. Nen aro busily engaged
manufacturing brick for building
purposes star the number turned
out annually issomethingenormous.
Mr. Moutray has established a good
business and the demand is steadily
on the increase for his make of
durable bricks. He uses steam,
ships considerable by rail, and was
filling an order for Goderich.
Mr. John Mason is now the owner
of ;rwin's hotel and is building up
a, " od . trade. . He is popular in.
to and country and conducts a
first-class house.
Mr. Mason informed us that he
would .be on hand at the Huron
Central Exhibition, and Blyth will
likely send a good representation.
"Dave" Erwin has taken to farm-
ing and is delighted with the change.
He is located about a mile out of
the village.
C. Hamilton has a snug and well
filled hardware store, stave and tin-
ware depot. As an auctioneer and
business man, ho has long since
proved himself reliable and one of
the most energetic in the county.
J. T. Carter's harness emporium
is one of the fixed institutions of
Blyth. Mr. d, nrauufactures a good
Ileal of stock during the year, and
finds ready sales at home and abroad.
The fire hall is a complete little
structure, and within is the truces
sary apparatus and one of the best
fire protectors manufactured., the
Ronald fire engine, made in our
own county. The brigade is under
command of Chief Emigh, and we
were informed that Blyth has a No.
1 company.
Slater & Sims' new brick block
presents a very handsome appear-
ance, boing one of .the best in the
town.
The new Methodist church is
fast approaching completion,• and
Mr. E. Sherritt and men are making
things hum in the inside of the
building.
Butcher Bell supplies quite a lot
of British bone and muscle—beef
and other moats—and does his share
in making Blyth a prosperous and
happy business village.
Reeve Kelly's roller grist mill,
Forsyth's and Liviugston's woollen
and flax mills, and the saw mill, are
necessary adjuncts to the prosperity
of the village.
The salt block is booming as usual,
and in it was found Messrs. James
McGee, James Maguire, and other
old-time supporters of THE NEWS.
RECORD.
Bawden's sash and door factory
is humming and contributes con-
siderably to Blyth's progress. The
factory is situate on station street,
near the track. Mr. B. is a hustler.
Mr. L. II. Shane has boon in the
livery business for a good many
years, and has been successful in
establishing a big and paying busi-
ness in Blyth.
We met' our old friend, Mr. Robt.
Howard, and learned that he was
engaged in building operations at
Wingham.
Soon we were speeding, behind
=dot' Shane's reliable steeds, to-
,
ward
BELORAVE.
Harvesting operations had almost
ceased, an odd field of oats, and
numerous fields of flax, being all
that required shelter.
On the way we were pleased to
meet Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Horsey, of
Winthrop, also Mr. and Mrs. L.
Nethory. Mr. John Nethery was
some two or three miles out of our
latitude, haute old-time acquaint-
ances could not meet. Mr. L. N.
and the writer had a pleasant half-
hour chat, and soon we were speed-
ing on our way.
Tho farming country between
Blyth and Belgrave indicates that
the occupants are industrious and
thrifty, as good substantial residen-
ces and outbuildings are to bo aeon
on all sides.
At Belgrave things do not look
as prosperous as before the fire.

WING HAM.
John .Beacom, the popular deputy
reeve of Goderich township, was on
his way to the races; Robert How-
ard, of Blyth, was heading for
Wingham to continue building
operations ; and Harry Meyer was
on his return home.,
An immense crowd, such as might
be seen at Clinton, was at the
station:
The C. P. P. is'proving a great
addition to the prosperity of Winer -
ham in the way of passenger traffic,
freight rates, .etc. A new Grand
Trunk station is being built, and
everything was lively around the
stations,
The Dinsley house, near the
depot, is conducted in a first-class
manner by a former Clintonian,
Mr. John Dinsley. He is robust,
affable, and doing a 'flourishing
trade.
We were surprised to find that
Wingham had no other street light
than the croon. But we were in-
formed that the town has a go-ahead
Council which a "change of croon"
does not affect, and that an agitation
was on foot for Lighting the town.
Many of the citizens are now of
the . opinion that the water works
system for fire should have boon for
domestic purposes also.
11Ir D. B. Calbick, lately of Clin-
ton, is increasing his sales' in the
furniture business and is very popu-
lar in town and country. This
week he is in Toronto .attending a
scientific examination on undertak-
ing and . embalming. Ho always
makes a practical study of his busi-
ness and is an upright, honest, and
intelligent young man. Wo partook
of the kind hospitality of himself
and lady while in Wingham.
Chief Pettypieco had, we found,
been laid up for several days, but
so far recovered as to ho able to
move around the house. Our busi-
ness with the Chief was not of a
very pressing nature, merely a re-
newal of acquaintance with himself
and family. The children were all
in high spirits iu anticipation of a
Sunday School picnic in the after-
noon. But the little onus fond
hopes were not realized owing to
the rain a few hours later. The
picnic was delayed till Sat'rrday.
"Harry" Kerr is very comfortably
settled in Wingham. He is a for-
mer Clintonian, is engaged in the
building line and doing well. He
and lady and family are well.
The Advance office was found in
a good state of preservation, and
Mr. James Fleuty, the pioneer edi-
tor and proprietor, busily engaged.
It was "press day" with him, and
as the circulation of the Advance
seemed to be 'way up', we speedily
took our leave so as to allow the
editor, foreman, 'devil" and other
employees a half holiday. Thurs-.,
day was Wingham's civic holiday.
Capt. Williams is a druggist, is
engaged in that business, is town
ticket agent of the C. P. R, and
has one of the neatest, cleanest, and
best stocked stores in town.
The Tines office is situate in the
stone block. Editor Elliott was
found at the seat of custom. It
being "press day," as with the Ad-
vance, a few minutes chat and our
travels were continued.
We met our old friend, Mr. John
Davison. He was at• ono time a
farmer resident of Goderich town-
ship. It will be remembered that
Davison downed doctor McDonald,
M.P., without gloves recently. It
was a cold day for the gallant Doc-
tor when Mr. Davison so cleverly
exposed his political trickery (re
Jesuit agitation) in answer to the
Doctor's overzealous queries.
Tho races on Thursday afternoon
were not very largely attended.
Rain fell in heavy clouds for several
hours. The entries were meagre—
four and two in the two races which
came off. In the one Edwards'
Baldwin, of Goderich, took first
money, and in the other Beacom's
Tom Burke won second with a pro-
test against the first horse. Both

B. to his business that he has been
in Toronto but once in twelve years.
He is a Catllolic'and a popular ,gen-
tleman with all classes. The Pro-
testants of 1Vinghanr speak in the
highest terms of him.
We saw at a distance Ben. Saults,
of Bluevalo, a place where THE
NEWS.RECORD is eagerly sought
weekly.
Clegg, the graiu dealer, a forma
resident of Blyth and county coun-
cillor, was busily engaged at the
station receiving, marking, and pay-
ing for fat cattle for the British
markets.
In company with ,11lessrs. Calbick
and Kerr we made a very pleasant
call on Mr. and Mre. Thos. Cornyn.
The gentleman and lady .are located
in a handsome and comfortable
residence, situate on tho natural
elevation just across the river. Mr.
Cornyn had been on the sick list
for some weeks, ,blit was up and
around. ile is one of those gentle-
men—f?om hie; lively conversation
slid practical jokes—one would take
to be a genuine Irishman. . He is
an Orangeman, a thorough one at
that, and the half hour in Mr. and
Mrs. C.'s company was well spent.
An invitation was extended to re-
main and visit the Orange lodge—
over 100 strong—on Friday night,
but other engagements prevented.
We rose early Friday morning,
had breakfast, bid adieu to friends,
hustled to the station, "all aboard"
by conductor Walmsley, and soon
we were on our way to the "hub"
of Huron—Clinton.
Summerhill.
Another of our citizeus is the
proud father of a bouncing boy.
In this case Mr. John Edmiston is
the person referred to. The event
took place on the 3rd inst,
The annual picnic in connection
with the Sunday and day schools
will he held in Mrs. Garvie's woods
about half a mile west of the school
house on Saturday the 141h inst.
We have always had successful
picnics and are sure this one will
be up to the standard. Come and
bring your baskets.
