You can satisfy the most impossible needs am- ong the 'Dress Goods'', Par- asols, Hosiery, Corsets, Em- broideries, Frillings, Laces. The finery so very suggestive — of summer days and cloud- less skies. All our advant- ages are y -ours, and no matter how low the price you're safe against mistakes and sure of your good mon- ey's worth. It'll puzzle, which not to buy in dress stuffs, with Checks„ Plaids, Mobairs Stripes, Flannels, Detainee, Plain Goods, Challies, Black, Wash Goods, appealing to you along our stretch of counters, more than the match of anything we have done in this direc- tion.

Fanner -fisherman from away back are daily visitors at the Port and what they +isn't fish with hook and line they oan buy from "Neil" the Scotch tailor's foreman. The memory of our late and dear old Chieftain "John A." still lingers in tho hearts of hie admirers in this part. They still mourn over his sad demise. Time Tay fly past and aos roll on, but his memory shall never be forgotten. The weather has been remarkably due and ealm,-with North Easterly winds; the fishing light in the. "pound nets" on this account. The fisherman say they would like to see a big old Noe. Wester for two or three days to get the fish on the run. The dry weather continues and crops are suffering for want of rain —The hay mop so far is almost a total failure, and unless rain conies to the rescue during the next ten days the root crop will be a very poor one. There has been very little rain along the Lake Shore during the past month notwithstanding heavy showers to the Etat of us. The Signal man says our fisher- men only bring small hauls of fieh to the circular town when they go in to sell to Clark—Ye gods and little fishes ! when Neil supplies "Six" different fish peddlers at the port does Dan think they should have 4 or 5 tons left for the Goder- ich chaps.

Society, Bayfield Road congregation,at the residence of Mrs Rathwell, was fairly successful. Amore delightful spot could not have been selected for a party of the kind. The weather, however, was quite chilly which made it' rather uncomfortable for some, and no doubt kept some away. Tho ladies in charge left nothing undone that would add to the entertainment of their guests, and despite the unpleas. antnees of the weather all present seemed to heartily enjoy themselves. There wore refreshments in abund- ance and a very interesting pro- gramme of vocal, and instrumental pule. A liberal sum was real:acid and we hope the members of the Society will have the good fortune to select an evening for their next Lawn So- cial when "fee Cream" will be more appreciated.
