Our strong point with you
to -day, all the stronger for
repetition, is that we sell
nearly everything that's
needed for personal com-
fort, as well as home adorn-
ment. 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. New in color and
style complete stock in
every particular. In Gloves
our idea is to teach you a
lesson in economy, to im-
press the fact that the best
variety of Gloves for men,
women and children is here.
Did you ever know us to be
backward when fashion was
forward ?
Standard makes, season-
able colors, reasonable pri-
ces. Read that again, BACK-
WARD.
The entire stock is in
highest favor. Whatever
quality you want or care for

event will be comparatively
little.

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

LAWN SOCIAL.—The Lawn Social
on Thursday last under the auspices
of the W. F. M. 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.

when a piece struck him in one eye,
going in half an inch. The patient
is doing well although he will lose
the sight of the eye.
—Mrs. Toomba, wife of a young
Mall on the "Glen:" farm, Innerkip,

oil on Friday. She was pouring
coal oil with ono hand while she
struck a match with the other,when
the oan exploded, scattering the
blazing oil completely over her set-
ting her in a blaze from head to
foot. She rushed screaming out-
doors and tried to tear off her cloth-
ing, but the effort was too late as
her body and limbs were everywhere
burnt in a dreadful manner and she
died next morning. She came with

year ago, and had one child, an in-
fant five months old.
