Tuly 2ndin Wm. Brigham s grove, near the village. There h been swings arranged for, and there ill be strawberries and icecream for th se who wish them and a splendid pro am of entertainment will be given. Every body come and have an en oyable - time. POLITICAL. — In the East iding there is nothing doing here i behalf of Mr Milne. He has not att pted to reach this part of Hullett, an there is no use of his coming, Mr G' son is the general favorite nere. is a farmer, and as Mr Milne is not farm- er, but a saw mill man and a anu- facturer, of course all' the farmets will support him. NOTES.—A certain young cou le one evening last week walked a mil and a half in the space of one hou and three quarters; walk faster nex time, Will. The farmers around here ord- er how it is that Mr Connoll , (the Patron candidate) should take a tend against the party (Tories) wh m he loved so dearly last election, bu they think he is not a converted Tor yet, any further than talk. Mr T. ons, near here, had the misfortune lose one of his horses last week; the orse was trotting towards the stabl and stepped on a stone with his hind foot, and the foot slipping sideways off the stone caused his leg to break just above the hock joint. The choir $pent a pleasant time at the home of .Mrs Crisp on Thursday evening last. Mr Wm. Lyon spent Sunday at his sis- ter's, Mrs Spindler, in Ashfield. Some are purposing to take in the excursion •to the Model Farm this week. Londes- boro sent a good representation 1 3 the social at Mr Geo. Watt's, on We Ines - day evening, in connection wit 1 the Burn's church S.S. POLITICAL.—A well attended meet- ing, in the interest of Mr Connolly, was held in the Temperance hall, on Saturday night last. Mr Jas. Gaunt, of West Wawanosh, was the first speak- er in behalf of Mr Connolly, and about the only point advanced against the Ontario Government was that while the profits of farmers had decreased, official salaries remained the same; he was followed by R. Holmes, of Clinton, in the interest of Mr Garrow, who showed that an independent party, such as the Patrons claimed to be, could not maintain their independence, if elected, and should inevitably drift to one side or the other, and that the v rn ent of Mr Mowat had always s e m y the farmers' interest at heart. Mr Connolly followed, first denying some of the allegations made against him, d affirming that he was an independ- 13 candidate, but had never said 'he sick of the Conservative ,party, he s sick of partyism; he claimed that he only way the farmers could get - / redress for the evils they were suffer- ing from was by united action as an Independent body. Each of the speak- ers spoke for three-quarters of an hour, and was given good attention, notwithstanding the excessive heat of the atmosphere. QUERY.—Mr Editor. It is reported out here that Mr Gaunt, who has b n helping Mr, Connolly has refused o do so any longer. Is this correc P [The report, we understand, is perfect correct. Mr Gaunt stated that he h been 'deceived by Mt Connolly, a would no longer rnipport hint.] CLINTON, ONT., JUNE 22, 1894. Our Weekly .budget OF INTERESTING NEWS From all•parts of the County—by wide-awake and lively Correspondents Holmesville. Leeburn NOTES.—You ought to see the fancy top Billy has on his peddling rig; it looks like an old woman with a white sunbonnet. BRETHREN.—The Brethren held an open meeting in the hall here Satur- day, and we understand will have an- ther meeting next Tuesday evening. OPERATION.—Dr. Gunn performed an operation on Mrs J. W. Yeo last week, since then she has been very low, but with hopes of speedy r ecov- ery; to -night (Wednesday) we learn she is not quite so well, but we hope to hear of her complete recovery very soon. R. T. or T.—The Royal Templars of Huron held their District Meeting at Wingham last Thursday, June 14th. Misses B. Acheson and E. Pickard and Messrs G. Phipps and W. Rutledge were the delegates from Holmesville council, while T. C. Pickard went as District Chaplain and F. C. Elford as District Secy. PICNIC TO BAYFIELD.—As advertised last week the Methodist Sunday School here intend holding their annual pic- nic at Jowett's grove, Bayfield, on Fri- day, June 22nd. Those who wish to make a whole day of it may go iu the morn- ing, but the majority will likely go about noon. It is expected as many as possible will avail themselves of the opportunity of spending a pleasant day at the favorite seaside resort. STILL INCREASING.—The creamery here is getting more work than can be handled by one separator, and Mr Hannah put in another large one on Wednesday, so with the two now things will move. Two or three new routes are opened and will commence Monday. He has also put in a new engine, which does its work in the best of style. In rigging up .an old building it takes considerable time to get things in working order, but we think Mr Hannah has not lost much time in connection with the business here. POLITICAL.—Mr McLean, candidate for South Huron, accompanied by John McMillan, held a meeting here Monday evening. There was a good attendance and also a very interesting time. At the close, on behalf of the Royal Templars, Mr McLeanwas ask- ed his views on Prohibition. His an- swer was all that prohibitionists could desire, promising to support temper- ance and especially prohibition if he secured the election. Mr McMillan al- so- gave-. a •satisfactory_answer-"fo the question. Now is the time to exercise that temperance vote. DEATH.—Mention• was made last week of the operation performed on Miss Lizzie Walter. It is our painful duty this week to state that from the effects of the operation and her very enfeebled condition she appeared never to fully recover, and after suf- fering the severest pain, passed away Saturday about 11 p.m. To say all are sorry does not begin to express what is felt. Lizzie's genial nature and friendly disposition won friends wherever she went. One always knew where to find her if there was anything to be done in the church or Sunday School she was there. She was also a member of the Royal Templars and ine of the captains in the contest now going on. We will miss her, yes, in- finitely more than she will miss us. We haven't the slightest doubt she died as she lived, and to -day is subject to neither pains nor sorrow, but is with Jesus in heaven. We sympathize with the sorrowing family, but with them expect to meet her on that up- per and better shore. The funeral took place Monday at 3 p.m. and pro- ceeded to Maitland cemetery; . Me- morial service will be held next Sun- day evening. Hullett PICNIC --A corning event—as picnics are becoming the order of the day, S. S. No. 7 has decided not to be behind the times, and purpose holding its usual picnic in Mr John Brigham's grove, on Friday June 29th. There will be the usual athletic sports. A baseball match will take place between two neighboring teams. A program will also be given, in which some of Huron's best talent will take part. MATRIMONIAL — On Wednesday, a very pleasant event occurred at the residence of MIA. Jamieson, near Lon- desboro, being the marriage of his youngest daughter, Oathrine, to Mr M. McMurchie, of Dakota, by Rev. J. A. Hamilton. The bride was the recipient of a splendid assortment of fine pres- ents from the numerous guests. The happy couple took the evening train going north. They were showered with rice. WEDDING—On Wednesday morning at eleven, the residence of Mrs Thomp- son, gravel road, near Clinton, was the scene of a queit, but no doubt interest- ing event to those present. Mr A. H. Tiernsy,a popular townsman, of Blyth, was united in marriage to Miss Mar- garet Thompson, in the presence of a feW intimate friends, Rev Mr Higley officiating.

The same day Will Belfry, while playing ball, had his thumb dislocated, the bone protruding through the flesh. E. Moser, on the same day, was the victim of a horse's pranks, receiving a severe kick in the chest, but, although battered, we are glad to say the boys are all well on the mend.

Clark, of London, lectured to a fair audience in the Egmondville Presbyterian church, on Monday evening last, under the auspices of the auxiliary of W.F.M.S. The subject of the lecture was "The kingdoms of the present and the King- dom to come," and was cleverly hand- led by the lecturer, much to the delight of the listeners. AMUSEMENT. — A merry-go-round has established itself for a time on the vacant lot next to Mr 0. C. Willson's implement warerooms, and is doing a big business. We are of the opinion that many of the youngsters' savings banks will be, if not now, entirely broken, by the way in which they have been and are patronizing this whirligig. POLITICAL.—A very largely attended political meeting was held in the inte- rests of the Conservative causer on Monday evening, in Cardno's hall.

Six booths, carefully erected and handsomely decorated, containing palatable delicacies, were suitably arranged in the building.— There was also a ship in full sail car- goed with fancy needle work. The old woman in her shoe was a conspicuous feature of the Kermess. Supper was served from 5 to 8 o'clock, to all com- ers, and there were many who partook. During the evening a program of music was provided, and participated in by the 33rd battalion band, Mrs McLen- nan, Miss Ewing, Messrs Ramsay and W. Beatty. A good deal of time and expense was given to the perfecting of the arrangements in connection with the gettingadies who el affair, and the the ladies upon who most of the work fell are to be con ratulated upon the great success which attended'their efforts.

REFORMERS STAND FIRM.—T his is the last issue before the elections, and though we do not wish to interfere with any reader's principles and con- victions, we would call upon all Re- formers in this neighborhood to stand firm by the sacred principles in which they claim to believe, to support a government which they have many times before helped to place in power and which has never violated its trust. We warn the Reformers (though we feel it is perhaps unnecessary) against believing any eleventh hour stories, trumped up from imaginary and new- ly -found stores of information or of even so much as touching with their little finger the illusionary baits sugar- ed over with specious promises which make their appearance at every elec- tion. Reformers vote for M. Y. Mc- Lean and good economical Reform Government. Let others do .what they maty. QUEEN s HOTEL.—It would be diffi- cult for an outsider to keep pace with the many improvements which are go- ing on inour village, if he did not take .one of the local papers, which have endeavored to keep Bayfield's progress before the eyes of their readers. We do not write from week to week for Bayfield readers alone; we try to keep the outsider informed as well. One of the most extensive and expensive im- provements which any property in Bayfield has received of late, is that which is being made at present to the Queen's hotel. No amount of trouble is being spared, any amount of money is being expended in what must be a successful attempt to make this hotel eminently attractive and commodious for summer visitors, Many attempts were made previousto this spring to purchase the Queens from the execu- ters of the late W. W. Connor, but without success. Mr James Pollock, whose popularity as a host drew so many guests to the River Hotel last year, succeeded at last insecuring it. Situated on a prominent corner of Main street, across from the Commer- cial, at an easy walk from the lake, with its windows commanding a good view of the water, and its broad piazza extending full around two sides and leading out onto a tennis court hedged with evergreens; the Queen's Hotel cannot but be a favorite resort for city, tourists this summer. Inside the hotel has been thoroughly refinished, every room being newly papered, both ceiling and walls. The halls are wide, the rooms are airy. A large, double ver- andah is fast being erected, which will add greatly both to the appearance and accommodation of the house. Already large numbers of Londoners and De - trotters have taken rooms, and the proprietor is receiving letters every day from prospective visitors. PERSONAL.—Mr Wm. Motz, B. A., of Berlin, was the guest of his uncle, Mr Fritz Wild, last week. Mayor Holmes and Mr Geo. Emerson, of Clinton, were in the village on Friday Mr W. E. Struthers is a�guest at the residence of Mr John W hiddon at present. Hon. N. Clarke Wallace Tuckersmith. PASSED. — Mr A. Cosens, of this township, has passed his 2nd year ex- aminations at Toronto University with 1st class honors in Minerology, 1st class in Chemistry and 2nd class in Biology.

Townsend, of Algoma, visited rela- tives here last week Mrs Inglesby, of Brampton, returned home on Satur- day, accompanied by Mr H. O'Brien, who will spend this week visiting rela- tives there. While a number of West Enders were performing the Statute Labor last week some of the teamsters were testing the speed of their horses when one of the teams became unman- ageable and made a lively run before the driver could control them. Stanley NOTES. — Messrs John and Alex. Forsythe, of Brussels, were visiting here this week. Mrs Congo, of Ham- ilton is visiting her brother, Mr Wal- ter Moffat, for a few weeks. Mr Jos.

Mr Wheaton, of London, is a guest at Mr H. -F. Edwards at present; he is a brother-in-law of Mrs Edwards. Mr Barrie Combe, of Clinton, was drinking in Hayfield's breezes on Wed- nesday. NoTEs.—Reader, when the 2nd of July comes you come too, and spend Do- minion day where the balmy breezes blow. It's a dead secret, but Hon J. C. Patterson has developed a great love for Bayfield lately, so much so that he is going to extend a very "weighty" mark of his esteem soon; lets have it for the Dominion Day celebration. The River Hotel has come out with a grand new covered rig for conveying guests to and from the station; it is painted up in tony style, with a para- sol top, and "River Hotel, Bayfield," emblazoned in large letters on either side of the box. Mr G. H. Hewson is busily engaged moving into his new, store this week; Mr Dan,Haryiton and wife will occupy the' roost over the store. The Government engineer, ac- companied by Messrs Lee and Smith, of Goderich, drove into the village on Tuesday morning; the engineer was met by the reeve and council at the River Hotel, and, accompanied by a number of citizens, was escorted to the harbor; beats were secured, and a thor- ough inspection made, after which the engineer said he thought the gap in the north pier would be closed this fall, and dredging commenced next spring . —we all hope for the best. Where are you going to spend Dominion Day? if you haven't decided send to the Secre- tary of the Celebration Committee for a program of sports at Bayfield, and you won't hesitate long; Crediton Brass Band in attendance. It is ex- pected that the Orangemen and You Britons of Bayfield will go to WL,, halm on July 12th. Mr H. Kemp ha opened shop in the building opposit_. the photo gallery.

Mr W. T. Hall, who is an en- thusiastic wheelsman, has purchased a bicycle from Mr Geo. Emerson, of Clinton. The new Bayfield Brass Band sent away for their instruments last week. Mr W. D. Trott, of Sea - forth, moved into the photograph gal- lery on Thursday last, and is prepar- ing for a big summer's trade; he has the reputation of being an excellent photographer, doing good work, and deserves the patronage of the people. Mr H. Dramen is learning to ride a bike under direction of the local agent of the Brantford, Mr H. Kemp; he is doing well and will likely be a purchas- er. ' The warm weather is bringing in hosts of applications for rooms at the different summer hotels, and even - with the much increased accommoda. tion many may have to be refused. township fathers were along the sec- ond last Saturday, letting contracts for repairing bridges and building new ones. Mrs Brown, of Tiverton, paid a visit to her sister, Mrs Neil McGregor, Mrs McEwen and other relatives. Mr McDougall, of Detroit, paid a short visit this week to the family of Mr J. Butchart.
