ts:
Terya
Special.
We have been fortunate in securing a
line of Fine Beaver and Melton
Overtroating--ata-a--greatereduction-
•. frotte t :e regular, prices. These
goods were consigned from an old
country manufacturer to a firm in
this Country, and while they were
on the way out, the firm failed, so
rather than reship the goods, the
owners ordered their agents to sell
them for what they would bring.
The price we got them at enables
us to sell a Melton or a Beaver
Overcoat worth ordinarily $18 to
$20, for
X15.00
There is no material you could get that;
would make as Dressy, Stylish and
Comfortable a Coat for fall and
winter as a Melton or Beaver. The
colors are Black, Navy, Dark Gray
and Brown. Coats of this quality
at this price are specially good
value, and if you were thinking of
investing in an Overcoat this fall,
it will pay you to see them.

NEW QHIIRCI;.-Rev. R. Paul, of
Brussels. contributes the following to
the Brussels Post: -Will yon allow
your attention to be called to a matter
of public interest. I was at the village
of Kinburn a short time ago, and was
much impressed with the beautiful
church in course of erection there by
the Methodist people. Its petition
and commanding appearance strike
one as he approaches the place. Un-
like many things, that look fine at a
distance, when you go near the beauty
dies'eway; not so in this case, the near-
er you go the more you see and the
morerthere is to admire. I am afraid
of my ability to give you a true idea of
the edifice as it appeared to me. But
to begin, it is built on one of the best
sites in the neighborhood, has a fine
basement, nearly all above ground, for
Sabbath School, prayer meetings and
other purposes. The audience room
seems all that can be desired for a
church of its size -roomy, lofty, &c.
When completed, which will be about
the end of October, it will be one of
the handsomest churches in this part
of our land. •At the same time it is a
marvel of cheapness, the entire cost
will not be over four thousand dollars.
The trustees and all engaged in the
undertaking deserve great praise.

NOTES. -Mr J. Medd attended the

McVittie, son of E. McVittie, who has
been seriously ill for some time, is at
present recovering. Mrs Jas. Cart-
wright spent a few days last week
visiting friends in Goderich township.
The heavy rains of last week have ex-
tinguished the fires in this vicinity to
a great extent, and have done a great
deal of good generally. ' Mr and Mrs
B. Tyreman are at present visiting re-
latives of Mrs Tyreman in the neigh-
borhood of Kincardine. Some fine
addresses on "Prohibition" were given
at last . week's meeting of Kinburn

members; a deep interest is being tak-
en in the cause of Temperance. •
DEATH. -Mr Daniel McGregor, sr.,
died, at the residence of his son, on
Tuesday last, at the age of 82 years and
six months. Deceased was one of the
earliest settlers of this township, com-
ing into it when it was a wilderness.
Born in Glasgow, he there learned the
trade of book -binding, and learned it
well. After he got settled here, he fol-
lowed his Occupation in the winter
time, going regularly to New York,
where he found ready employment.
As his family grew up and were able
to manage the farm, he opened a bind-
er's establishment, and was the recog-
nized binder of the county, doing ex-
cellent work. A few years ago he
moved to Harpurhey, but declining
strength compelled him to relinquish
work of any kind, and a paralytic
stroke a year ago rendered him almost
helpless. He was a man of very vigor-
ous intellect, and a Liberal in politics.
A member of the New Jerusalem
church. He leaves a wife and two
sons in Hullett, one in Cleveland, and
another in Vancouver, and one daugh-
ter, now the wife of Mr John Wiggin-
ton, Goderich township, The remains
were followed to Maitlandbank ceme-
tery, yesterday by a large number of
sympathizing friends.

took in London on Wednesday, some

there was crowd enough to enjoy
themselves. .
Direezg:=lectire-Temp-lace mee,e£ing
Monday night Messrs John Jervis
and John Ford were appointed cap-
tains of a debate to come off on the
16th of Oct, choosing their own sub-
ject. As these two are veterans on
the platform a good tinea is expected.
A NEAT FENCE. -Mr W. Stanley. has
removed the old barb -wire fence from
the front of hi$ place and in its stead
has put up the patent -woven wire
fence, for which he is agent, with the
addition of planed painted posts. The
fence adds considerably to the looks of
the field, and makes a very tasty front.
DECIDEDLY NOT. -We heard it re-
marked the other day in reference to
the bridge gang working here "they're
a tough set." We would like to say
on their behalf tha,t the person utter-
ing the .above remark is incorrect.
During the past three or four weeks
that they have been boarding here,
we have not seen or heard of an un-
gentlemanly act committed. They
are a very quiet, respectable gang, and
it is hardly fair that any one should
misrepresent their behavior while they
remain in the village.
VISITORS. -Mrs W. B. Forster, who
has been visiting friends near Toronto
for sometime, returned Monday. Rev.
Wm. Thornlev, of Greenback, who is
in attendance at the General Confer-

SICK AND IMPROVING. -Mr George
Huller has had considerable sickness
in the family recently; he is only just
able to be out himself, having been
laid up for over two weeks, other mem-
bers of the family being sick also; now
his eldest daughter and mother-in-
law, Mrs Potter, are in bed; it is hoped
he and his house will have relief soon.
Miss E. Holdsworth is able to be
around_•aga•in afterr her, serious. illness.
31r Chas. Gravelle is improving very
slowly, and it will no doubt be some
time before before he can resume his

CHURCH NOTES. -Rev. Mr Fear be-
ing in attendance at the General Con-
ference, London, on Sunday, the work
was supplied here by Mr Fear, sr., in
the morning, who, as usual, gave us a
splendid sermon; one cannot listen to
Mr Fear but he is impressed with the
thought that he is a great thinker. In
the evening Mr Allan, of Colborne, oc-
cupied the pulpit; Mr of
is too well
known to need any comment on our
part; we always like to hear him, and
when he is announced a full house is
generally the result. Mr McRoberts
took Ebenezer , appointment in the
afternoon; we wish he would take
Holmesville soon, as we expect some-
thing more than ordinary from bim.
As announced the sermon by the past-
or next Sunday evening will be "How
to make money."

DEATH. -The death of Mr Nathaniel
Cosens, of the 3rd con.,which occurred
on Wednesday morning last, removes
another of the few remaining pioneers
of the township. Deceased has been
in delicate health for some time, and
his death was, therefore, not unexpect-
ed. He was born in Sussex, Eng., in
1818, and with other members of the
family emigrated to Canada in 1832.
He was a tanner by trade, and for some
time in business at Guelph and Paris.
In the year 1861 he moved onto the
farm on which he died, and has lived
there ever since, owning it for some
time before he took possession of it.
He took an active interest in public
affairs, being a staunch Liberal, and
unusually well informed, not alone in
current affairs, but in matters of his-
tory and Iiterature, and was for seve-
ral years a member of the township
council. He was a Baptist, en p' ed
the good will and esteem of all
knew him, was hospitable and large -
hearted -a good neighbor and citizen.
Ire leaves a wife, three sons and one
daughter, the latter now married and
living in Buffalo. The funeral takes
place to -day at 2.30 p.m., to Turner's
cemetery.

Business College. He was the vale-
dictorian of his class in McGill College,

widely known and esteemed for his
superior intelligence and high moral
character. He gave promise of great
usefulness, and while proud of his
Scottish parentage was full of Cana-
dian patriotic feeling and hope in our
national future." The Montreal Star
also says: -"The friends of Mr Hector
Buie will be much grieved to hear of
his death, which occurred on the 10th
inst. at Blyth, Ont. Mr Buie was
esteemed by all with whom he came
in contact and was a general favorite

ing two neighbors called in to see him,
but his wife said they were not to
