FLORAL SERVICE.—The annual flow-
er service in connection with the Sab-
bath Schools of Seaforth and Roxbore'

Sowers, to which was attached a text
of scrippture. The bouquets were ar-
tistically arranged before the altar,
presenting a beautiful, bright' bank of
color. These flowers will be sent to
the different hospitals in Stratford,
Guelph and Toronto.

the Premier and party at the station,
and . presented them, • regardless of

BIBLE SOCIETY MEETING. — The
annual meeting of Hullett Branch
Bible Society will be held in the
Presbyterian Church, Londesboro, on
Friday, Oct. 6th, at 7.30 p. m. The
meeting will be.acldressed by the agent,
the Rev. Joseph/Philp, B. D., of Lon-
don. Subject, his trip through Pales-
tine and Syria. A good attendance
is expected, as the lecture will be in-
teresting.
NOTES.—Mrs Joseph Howson has
taken up her abode in Londesboro, and
will occupy the house of Mr James
Manning, lately vacated by John Mc -
.Cool; we welcome her to our midst.
John Hill, of Winghain, a former
resident of this place, has returned
to engage in cobbling. Miss McLaugh-
lin, teacher, paid a visit to her home
at Brussels on Saturday and Sunday.
John Little has rented his farm south
of the village to Jonathan Crawford,
for a term of years. Ephraim Brown.
has bought the farm at present occu-
pied by Jonathan Crawford, from Mr
Richardson, of Goderich, Township.
Nelson Pingle has moved back again to
his house in the village; he was living
on the 9th con. of Hullett during the
summer. Quite a number from here
attended the political meeting in Clin-
ton on Tudsday. Politics seems to be
a drawing card. Last week as our
Reeve, R. Scott, and councillor Brig-
ham were driving along, the horse
shied and pitched them out of the bug-
gy; Mr Scott got two ribs fractured
and his shoulder and back hurt but he
is not laid up, he is too gritty for that;
Mr Brigham escaped unhurt.

FALL Serow.—The fair to be held in
Bayfield on Tuesday and Wednesday,
Oct. 3rd and 4th, promises, with good
weather, to be one of the best ever held
in the neighborhood and the crowd one
of the largest ever seen within the en-
larged grounds. Riders and drivers
have been practising for some weeks
for the speeding in the ring, which will,
no doubt, be one of the most interest-
ing events of the day. Among the
special prizes is one for the best cattle.
dog. There is every reason to believe
that the wealthy township of Stanley
will even outdo the success of former
years at their fall fair on Oct. 4th.
RUNAWAY.—When returning from
Brucefield, on Wednesday evening of
last week, after spending a couple of
days at London Pair, Messrs George
Erwin and Chas. Dresser just escaped
a very serious accident. They had
proceeded safely until nearing Varna,
they met some of that villa's sports,
who were racing, a collision followed,
and Mr Erwin's horse was thrown into
the ditch. Though able to make an-
other start the harness ..was so broken
that the buggy ran on the horse's
heels and started him off. Mr Erwin's
horse is a flyer, so when they reached
Varna they were going at express
speed, and to steer for Cook's shed
seemed the only way to stop their mad
career. This was done, but the place
was full of rigs, and a machine wagon
received the full benefit of the runa-
way's forcible arrival. The wagon
was considerably damaged and the
horse somewhat bruised, but, we are
happy to say, neither of the occupants
were injured.

no business of importance was trans-
acted. A few of the loyal orangemen
of Bayfield, attended the Thompson re-
ception in„Clieton on Tuesday; we hope
they will be able to tell us his inten-
tions regarding the Manitoba school
question. Taking for histext the.
words of Paul, "I, press towards' the
mark," the Rev. E. Olivant, on Sab-
bath morning last, gave a very clear
and forcible sermon on "perfection."
Messrs August, Louie and Wm Wild

Mr A. Stirling has been very i11 for

to last week, Miss Lottie Martin se-
cured a handsome lady's 'bicycle

able job work, and is always prompt
and efficient. He has purchased a
building on the square, which he is now
converting into a store and dwelling,
and expects tQ, be in his new premises

H. DRAHEN.—Mr Dramen carries on
a merchant tailoring business in the
storeuext to Mr J. Fraser's and is a
very busy man at present. When he
came to town first he started in Mr A.
Erwin's store, but consequently moved
up east. He is spoken of as an excel-
lent tailor, always giving the best of
satisfaction. Mr Dramen also offers
a splendid selection of tweeds &c. to
choose from, and can furnish a suit to
please the most economical or the most
fastidious. He is an industrious and
pains -taking workman, . and will,, no
doubt, be liberally patronized in the
future as he,has been the past by the
people of this neighborhood. Apart
from his regular business, Mr Dramen
is the Bayfield agent for the London
Life Insurance Co.
WM. Wenner.—Mr W. Whiddon
has been engaged at the shoe making
business here for some years, and has
been successful at his trade. At pres-
ent he is the sole representative of hie
business in the village and is conse-
quently very much in demand, though
not long ago when we had three shoe-
makers, each of them was well patron-
ized. Mr Whidden is exceedingly
neat at cobbling. In order to please
his lady customers especially, he pur-
chased, last week, a new machine for
doing fine stitching on cobbling work.
This a splendid addition to his shop,
and we have no doubt but the public
will appreciate Mr Whiddon's enter-
prise. He is Bayfield's Chief of Police
and another staunch Reformer.
H. F. EDWARDS.—In the spring of
1887, H. F. Edwards opened up a stock
of general merchandise in thestore
then owned and fermerly occupied by
Robt. Morrison. Mr Edwards had
soon established -largetrade; and in
consequence was obliged to greatly in-
crease his stock. In 1891 the lease hav-
ing expired and the business having
proved equal to Mr Edwards' anticipa-
tions, he decided to become a settled
resident of Bayfield, and pnrchased
the store and dwelling in which his
business is now so successfully carried
on: These premises consist of a brick
store and residence nicely painted,
with a small lawn in front. Mr Ed-
wards at present carries a very heavy
stock, of which dry goods forms a large
part. In this line he takes special
pride in his cottons, dress goods, prints,
linens and tweeds. Dealing as he does
with a firm who handle linens and
tweeds exclusively, Mr Edwards claims
that he is in a position to give his
customers special bargains in these
goods. In the hardware department
there is a complete stock of small
wares well assorted as well as some
tinware. The gent's furnishings is one
of the special features of his store, and
consists of readymade clothing, hats,
caps, gloves, braces, -ties &c., in abun-
dance, so that a great stock is offered.
In crockery and glassware Mr Ed-
wards has gone more extensively than
ever this year, and is now unpacking a
beautiful assortment from which his
customers may choose. Last winter,
when Bayfield was without a tin shop,
he decided to sell oft his line of boots
etid shoes and go into tinware, but we
Understand that it is his intention now
to re -stock this department. The
grocery department is also one in which
Mr Edwards caters successfully to the
wants of his customers. In the seven
years of business in Bayfield he has
gained many friends for himself as
well as many customers for his store,
It is the aim of both Mr Edwards and
his son, who is associated with him in
business, to please those who come to
their store, by being at all times courte-
ous, considerate and obliging. Mr Ed-
wards, like all the other Bayfield store-
keepers, is agood Reformer. As,usu-
al Mr Frank Edwards w ds will have a re-
freshtnent booth on the Fair grounds
on Oct. 4th, where he will be glad to
meet and treat his hosts of visiting
friends.

between 7.30 and 8 o'clock, the axe be-
longing to the school disappeared in
some manner. It is not to be supposed
that it was stolen at that hour, but
who ever "carried" it away would con-
fer a favor by leaving it in its place
again; it is getting too cold to have to
do without it now.

of Railways; Hon. N. C. Wallace,
Comptroller of Customs, and Dr, Mon-

Mayor' McTaggart, ex-ayor Doherty,
and Messrs Wm. Jackson and A. M.
Todd, and a good crowd of peo-
ple, and at once proceeded to the car.
riages, when, headed by the band,
they drove to the town hall,which was
comfortably filled. Mr Todd stated
that the immediate object of the morn-
ing•gathering was to present an ad-
dress of welcome to the Premier and
colleagues, on behalf of the town, and
he called upon Mayor McTaggart, who
read the following address
To the Honorable Sir John S. D. Thompson,
K.C.M.G•, Q.C., M.P., Premier of the
Dominion of Canada and .Minister of
Justice.
On the 000asion of this, your first visit to
the town of Clinton, the municipal council
extend to you a most cordial and hearty
welcome. On behalf of our citizens of every
nationality, of all shades of polities, and of
all creeds, we welcome you as the Premier
of this Dominion, and as the representative
of that form of constitutional government
which gives to the people the fullest enjoy.
ment of every proper privilege and freedom.
We extend to you our congratulations
upon your recent seleotion as a member of
that august tribunal, to whioh was referred
the settlement of an •international dispute
between the mother country and the United
States. We rejoice that this arbitration
gives promise of a time when all such mat.
ters shall be dealt with in the form of
peace, and war shall be no more. We are
also much pleased to believe that in the
choice of yourself as a member of that
Board of Arbitration, the British Govern-
ment has acknowledged the principle that
the services of Colonial Statesmen should
not be overlooked, and may be of great ad-
vantage to the Empire.
We trust your stay in our midst for a
short time will be a pleasant one, and once
more extend to you and your colleagues the
heartiest welcome.
Signed on behalf of the Council of the
Town of Clinton,
G. D. MCTAGOART, Mayor.
Sir John Thompson brieflyacknow-
ledged the address,referring in a kind-
ly non-partisan spirit to it, and ex-
pressing his pleasure at their cordial
reception. He stated that he was ex-
ceedingly pleased at receiving so gener-
ous a welcome from the citizens, re-
gardless of party.lines, and then allud-
ed to the Behring Sea arbitration.
Messrs Foster, Haggart and Wallace
also briefly responded, after which a
number went up and were introduced
to the honorable gentlemen. The
party were then entertained at lunch
at the Rattenbury House. The after-
noon meeting commenced at about
half -past one, on the Market Square,
where a large platform had been erect-
ed for the occasion,with Mayor McTag-
Sart as chairman. Mr T. Coleman, of
eaforth, read an address to the Pre-
mier and colleagues, on behalf of the
Young Conservatives of that place,
and ex -Mayor Doherty read an address
on behalf of the Conservatives of the
county. Sir John Thompson acknow-
ledged the addresses on behalf of him-
self and the Government, and then en-
tered on his, addtess. He was followed
by Messrs Foster, Haggart, Wallace
and Montague, all of whom claimed
for the country great prosperity and
progress, and endeavored to show that
their policy was the best one for the
country. In brief, the tenor of the
speeches was that the spirit 61 the N,
P. would be maintained, though the
necessity for tariff revision was admit -
led; the debt of the country had slight-
ly increased, but the increase was
greater under Liberal than under Con-
servative rule; the Liberals had no con-
fidence in the country, while their op-
ponents had. Mr Thompson made a

NOTES.
We have no room for anything like
a summary of the speeches delivered,
and therefore do not attempt to give
them.
Miss Bessie Doherty, daughter of ex -
Mayor Doherty, presented Sir John
Thompson, with a beautiful boquet of
flowers.
While there was considerable ap-
plause given during the speeches, there
was a manifest reserve in this respect
that never characterized the old-time
meetings.
The attendance was much less than
anticipated, and even Coqnservatives
admitted that they were, disappointed
with the number.
The mottoes used at the Belleville
