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.

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. Notes.—Misses Mary and Maggie Beattie spenta..day-.at.thnLondon fair._ last week. A two -weeks old child of Mr J. Watson died one day last week. Mr J. Morgan attended the Conserva- tive speech -making in Clinton on Tues- day, and came home with the report that the Orangemen's reception . to Premier Thompson was as warm as the frigid atmosphere pf a nor -west sneezer off the ice -banks of lake Hur- on. Council met on Monday evening; 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 and Wm Woods took in the Western Fair at London last week. Mr John Beattie returned home this week. Mr A. Stirling has been very i11 for some time, but is now on the mend. The yacht Norma owned by Mr Lewis, Goderich, was in port on Sunday on its way home from Detroit. We under- stand that Mr J. Donaldson, Bronson line, intends running a saw mill here this winter. Before leaving for Toron- to last week, Miss Lottie Martin se- cured a handsome lady's 'bicycle through the agent here, Mr H. Kemp. We are pleased to announce that Mr C Dewar's little girl, who has been at, the, point of death, is recovering nicely, under the treatment of Dr. Stanbury. Mr Thos.

Metrien, sr., was called away to Inglewood on account of the illness of her daughter, Mrs Ed- ward. The sympathies of the people in this vicinity are extended to Mr Hoggart and family in their late sad bereavenient—the loss of a loving wife and mother. Miss Brown who has been working in this vicinity for some time has left for Hibbert township,; some one will be lonesome, eh? Mr R.

Those coming to the : fair should make it a point to see Mr Rouat's stock, especial- ly his. stoves,' °He also does consider- 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 by Sivas. 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.

Foster, Minister of Finance; RIon.;3. Haggett Minister of Railways; Hon. N. C. Wallace, Comptroller of Customs, and Dr, Mon- tague, M.P. They were met by the Reception Committee,Consisting of 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.

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 demonstration Hist weekwere displayed along ,the Main streets, while flags, etc., helped to make the town`look gay. The very beet of Order prevailed throughout, and there were rib 'inte- ruptions or disturbances worth men- tioning•. Mri A. t3.'

JACKSON BROS. Clothiers, Furnishers etc. was less in what he said than in the remarks of the others, consisting mainly of ridicule of Sir R. J. Cart- wright. Sir John Thompson privately ex- pressed the opinion that the address given him by the town of Clinton was the most nicely -worded of any he had received anywhere. • Among the ministerial gentlemen on the platform were Rev. Messrs Hod- gins, Seaforth, Fairlie, Deihl, Holmes and Smyth, of Clinton, and Henderson of Hensall.
