NOTES.—Mr. Wm. Straughan is hav-
ing a neat house built in the suburbs
of the village, on his farm lately pur-
chased from Mr Thos Gledhill; when
completed it will add to the appearance
�f the place. The 24th will be celebrat-
ed by a picnic and dancing at the Hal-
low. With few exceptions, fall wheat
fields look well, spring crops also pre-
sent a good appearance, but the re-
cent rains have done considerable
damage to fields not thoroughly drain-
ed; it would pay farmers to drain their
lands, even it they had to borrow to do
it; there is nothing looks more , dis-
couraging or disheartening than to see
fields all spotted on account of not
being properly drained, after all the
expense of cultivating and seeding.
The farmers are now busy either
fencing or preparing their land for
roots; the straight rail fence seems to
be the favorite in this neighborhood.
The Sons of Temperance purpose hav-
ing a social on the evening of the 24th.
Mr Archie Devear, formerly of Sea -
forth, is visiting friends here, we are
glad to see his cheerful countenance
again. Mr. Robert Nelson is visiting
his mother, Mrs Hobson. The many
friends of Mr. Wm. Vanston are glad
to know that he is able to be around
again after his prolonged illness. Miss
Lizzie Gledhill has returned from a
month's visit to relatives at Stratford.
Mrs Henry Fisher has been very ill
for some days.
Russian Relief.
In response to the appeal made in
last week's NEW ERA for relief for the
starving Russians, the following

ed home last week. MrsD. P.,oss, who
spent the winter with her daughter,
Mrs A. Fraser, has returned to her old
home, on the second. Mr Graham has
erected a windmill, to save the labor
of hand pumping; the second might
have more of these labor saving
machines.
Tuckersmith.
NOTES.—Mr Whitfield Crich is the
owner of a fine top buggy, which, he
says, he bought from Fred Rumball,
Chnton. Grain is looking well in this
township. News is very scarce. Mr
-Geo..,Nott is busy getting the material
ready fortheenlargement of his house;
he has let the contract to Mr McKen-
zie, of Clinton, and when finished will
have one of the finest dwellings on the
line. Mr. Joseph Crich is still con-
fined to his bed with no marked change.
Miss Swallow, of Seaforth, spent Sun-
day with friends here. The many
friends of Mrs. W. C. Landsboro will
be glad to hear that she is recovering
from her illness. Mr H. O'Brien dis-
posed of one of his fine driving horses
to a horse fancier, of Hensell, last
week.
Drysdale.
ORURCIL—Rev H. Irvine preached
here last Sunday evening to a good-
sized cengregation, on;the moral con-
dition of children and how they should
be treated by the Christian church.
We understand the Kippen Quarterly
Board has petitioned the Goderich
District meeting to place this appoint -
on the Bayfield Mission. Hensel'
circuit has taken the same action with
Lake View; the idea is to get a young
man on Bayfield mission and give
Zurich, Lake View, and Drysdale
preaching every Sunday, this seems
very desiable.

from its wonderful construction.
' SAD ACCIDENT.—A very sad accident
occurred in Cliff & Fosters furniture
factory, on Friday last, by which Wm
Barber, son of Sam Barber, met his
death. He was only twelve years of
age, but being very trustworthy and
manly for his years, was allowed to act
as fireman, when his father, the regu-
lar engineer, was ill. He was alone at
the time in the engine room, but from
appearances must have been caught
by the leg in the belt of the drive
wheel, and drawn into the wheel, one
leg being torn from the body and the
skull fractured. Death must have
been instantaneous. Great grief is
felt throughout the entire community
over the sad ending of a promising
youth, and everyone expresses sincere
sympathy for the bereaved family.
May God comfort and sustain them,
for no one else can.

ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—On Sun-
day, June 5th, the Rev. Mr Mc-
Lean, of Blyth, will preach anniver-
sary services both morning and even-
ing in St. Andrew's church, and on
Monday, June Oth, there will be a tea -
meeting in the Town Hall, at which a
good entertainment and plenty of
eatables will be provided.
A GOOD SIGN.—Owing to the in-
crease in the nureber of pupils at the
Public Sehool, it has been found nec-
essary to make an addition of some
,kind to the seating capacity of the
school. ,Mr. Cooper, of Clinton, has
examined. the- Thillffiriul'erurpose-

tacle.
come to Ingham during thulast tw
weeks to hear the Evangelists. MrTre-
vat, of Teeswater, was in ' town on
Monday.
UNION SERVICES.—The religious un-
• ion services conducted by Messrs Cross-
iey and Hunter are still increasing in
Interest. On Thursday evening of last
week Mr Crossley gave a song sermon,
taking for his text Isaiah 35, 10, "And
the ransomed of the Lord shall return
and.come to Zion with songs and ever-
lasting joy upon their heads; they shall
obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow
and sighing shall flee away." While
listening to his soul stirring discourse,
many hearts were uplifted to God for
the outpouring of his Holy Spirit.—
During the sermon he sang several
pieces, which had great effect upon the
audience. On Friday evening his ser-
mon was for young men and women,
with useful lessons for fathers and mo-
thers, as to who should be their guests
and occupy seats in their parlors. Mr
Hunter read the lesson and explained
it, with wonderful power; he is a great
exhorter, and pleads so earnestly for
all to accept Christ as their Saviour.
The service was conducted in the Pres-
byterian church, on Sabbath morning,
by Rev Mr Hunter. His first lesson
was the 126th Psalm, after reading it
he offered up one of the most fervent
prayers we ever listened to, as the
Spirit of God seemed to be falling like
dew from heaven, and resting upon the
congregation. His second lesson was
part of Luke 22nd, and here he showed
the seven downward steps of Peter, 1st
in the 45th verse, "He found them
sleeping," instead of watching; 2nd, in
the 50th verse, the resistance offered;
3rd, the 54th verse, "And Peter follow-
ed afar off," as many are doing to -day;
4th, in the 55th verse, "Peter sat down
among them," in bad company; 5th, in
the 57th verse, "And he denied him,
saying, woman, I know him not," the
fear of man; 6th, the 58th verse, "And
Peter said, man, I am not," man's
weakness when trusting in self; 7th,
the 60th verse, "And Peter said, man,
I know not what thou sayest," falsely
pleading ignotance. His text was tak-
en from Luke 23, 21, "But they cried,
saying, crucify him, crucify him !"
From this he showed the tender sym-
pathy of Christ, that even while nailed
to the cross, he pleaded with his Father
to forgive them. While he thus spoke
_ina,Lehecl_ tears of joy, and some from
anguieli-Orirtrol;atud-, when -the -gather.=.
ing in of the redeemed shall meet, we
believe that some will take him by the
hand and remind him of that sermon
in Wingham. Rev Mr Crossley occu-
pied the pulpit in the Methodist church,
on Sabbath morning, taking his text
from 1st John 4, 18, "But perfect love
casteth outlear." He spoke very plain
and described Christian perfection so
clearly that the audience was delighted
with the emotion. • On Monday morn-
ing we frequently heard this remark,
"Were you at the Methodist church
yesterday morning?" trthe answer
was no, "Well you missed it;" or
"Were you at thePresbyterian church
yesterday morning?" and if the reply
was yes, "My, but wasn't it something
grand?" The meeting in the town
hall, at 4 p.m., on Sunday,was certainly
an evidence of how the addresses were
appreciated the previous Sunday. The
hall was crowded with eager listeners.
Mr Crossley, before commencing his
address sang "Papa, come this way.",,„
The words upon which his discourser
was founded were "Abhor that which
is evil, cleave to that which is good."
His loving words of kindness fell upon
the audience with convincing power.
Mr Hunter's subject was the dark val-
ley—international raildeay, which he
described as the liquor traffic, showing
the sin and misery which is the direct
outcome of intemperance. In the
evening service was conducted in the
Presbyterian church, the place being
so crowded that seats were placed be-
hind the pulpit, and doubtless some
could not get in. Mr Hunter read part
of the 5th chapter of Matthe*, and,
with his usual tact, showed forth many
beautiful lessons therefrom. Mr Cross-
ley preached a most interesting and
instructive sermon. Taking .different
passages of Scripture, he showed many
sins into which man had fallen. When
speaking of the liquor business, he
proved that men lacked wisdom, to
tamper with strong drink, and claimed
that the Bible said so. He said that
they would sing the "Red, White and
Blue," which was very appropriate, as
they give their white money, took red
wine, and got the bluee for nothing.
Monday evening Mr Hunter read the
lesson from Luke 14. He pleaded with
the audience to give up making such
excuses, and come right out for Christ.
Mr Crossley and Prof. Scott sang as a
duet, "Thinking of home," with won-
derful effect on the audience. Mr
Crossley preached a very powerful ser-
mon, referring to many passages of
Scripture, while he described man in
his different stages of life. The Bible
reading in the Baptist church, on
Tuesday at 4 p.m., was well attended
and was instructive. Tuesday evening

WEDDING BELLS.—On Wednesday
morning, at her father's residence near
Walton, Miss Bella Moore, who has
many friends here, was united in mar-
riage to Dr Kermickle, of Ripley. A
number of guests from Blyth attended
the wedding. Best wishes attend
them.
THE C. 0. 0. F.—The entertainment
under the management of the C. 0. 0.
F., on Friday evening, was fairly well
attended. Prof Meeke sustained the
reputation which preceded him, "The
Baren and The Creeds of the Bells"
were particularly well z ended by him,
and as a humorist in "Samantha in-
terveiwing the boss mason," he was
exceedingly funny. Our popular
comic, Mr Floody, sang a couple of
songs, which as usual were greeted
with rounds of applause. The mouth
organ band gave a few selections, and
the singing of the National Anthem
brought to a close a very enjoyable
evening.

house, on Dinsley St., on Thursday
last. Miss W. Stalker left here on
Friday to spend a few weeks in Kin-
cardine. R. S. Hays, Seaforth, was in
town on Friday. Miss Moffat was in
Clinton on Saturday. The new band
enlivened the town on Friday evening
for the first time, they have made
splendid progress and are engaged to
furnish music at Exeter on the 24th;
we have no doubt they will do this
side of the county credit. A number
of our citizens attended the meetings
of Hunter & Crossely in Wingham, on
Sunday. Dr Shaw, of ye olden time
in Blyth, and Mr Geo McTaggart, of
Clinton, spent Sunday in town. House
cleaning is the order of the day. Miss
F. Floody has been seriously ill for
several clays, with inflammation of
the bowels, but we are pleased to learn
that she is improving.
ACGIDENT.—An_ accident _happene
to a young son of Mr Thos Noble one
day last week, whereby he had a mir-
aculous escape from instant death.
His father was picking stones, using a
team and waggon, the child was play-
ing about the wagon when the horses
moved, catching laim under the wheel
and almost crushing the life out of
him.
RUNAWAY.—On Friday last Mr Hugh
McDairmid had the misfortune to break
his buggy. It seems that he left the
horse standing while he shut the gate,
and the animal, seeing he was free,
took a waltz along the road, at a faster
gait than it is in the habit of going.
He was unable to keep on the road,
and struck some posts, causing him to
get free from the buggy. The buggy
and harness were broken, but not to
such an Axtent as to render them in-
capable '•if being repaired, but the
horse escaped without injury.

NOTES.—Mr Wm Mitchell and wife
have moved to their new home in Hen -
sail; we are sorry to lose so good a
neighbor. Geo Mitchell shows more
signs of recovery now than since last
August; his prospects for ultimate re-
covery are good. Mrs Horton, sr., is
very much better than when she came.
home from Seaforth. At a meeting of
the Epworth League held on Tuesday
evening it was decided to postpone
their ehtertainnient until Monclay,May
30th, instead of holding it May 24th.
Mrs John Glen, jr., is very poorly, and
the physicians scarcely seem to know
what is the matter. Mr Louis Parish
has come home from the Wesley Col-
lege, Montreal; Mr Parish expects to
enter the Methodist ministry in Mani-
toba. Rev H. Irvine preaches on the
fourth commandment next Sunday
morning. Mr Wm Sinclair attends
the District meeting in Clinton, on
Friday of this week.
NOTES. —Mr Dan Harrison is one of
the most enterprising young business
men in Hayfield; he is beautifying the
interiors of the village homes, but
what about the exteriors? the council
would be setting a good example to
_give Dan the contract of painting the

Whiddon and Annie Miller were visit-
ing in Clinton last week; the latter
will remain some time. Messrs Well-
ington, Johnston and Wm J. Peck,
who are attending the Goderich High
School, footed it home last Sunday for
a little exercise. The readers of the

that the Hayfield correspondent has

of spring, we wish him well; may he
give the columns of the Record plenty
of reliable news. Miss Winnie Moore -

Our excuse for selling Boy's
Clothing is that we think that
it's just a little better for the
children than can be found in
any other store. It is you who
must teach us whether it is or
is not. We firmly believe in
one thing, and it is that it is
better to give people who buy
from us the very best service
we can, even though we make
but little profit. The profit
will be sure to come a little
later on in tbe shape of an in-
creased trade, and we confi-
dently affirm, judging from the
sale of our Boy'sClothing,that
it is a little better Made, a lit-
tle better toned up and finisb-
ed, a little better quality, and
a gooddeal cheaper than our
neighbors are showing; hence

FOOTBALL.—A Western Association
football match was played at Galt, on
Saturday, between the Hurons of
Seaforth, and Galt. A very large
crowd of enthusiastic spectators wit-
nessed one of the best games of the
season. From start to finish the play
was close and, exciting; brilliant runs,
combinations and hard checking being
the order of the day. Both teams
played ball from strut to finish and
there was every chance to play ball
good. There was only a very slight
wind during the first half, which
freshened up a little after half time.
The Seaforth team was considerably
weakened by the loss. of Smith, their
best forward, but for all that played
a good hard game. Galt players were
not in the best of trim, but the game
put up would make an eye witness
wonder 'what kind of game they put
up when they are in shape. Galt was
the winner, the score standing 2 to 0.
The next game will be played in Sea -

could not look better, some fear the

some fault to find with Providence
and the arrangment of things. Mr
