banquet on hallowe'en, to a few
invited guests, on three stolen geese,
and a liberal supply of "water" to wash
them down; it was held in an unoccu-
pied house belonging to some of the

ence for the occasion. The parties are

CLAIMED BY TWO PARTIES, — A
short time ago Mr Will Pickard adver-
tised four head of stray cattle which
had come into bis premises, and they
were subsequently identified by a man
living in Morris, who took them away.
Mr S. Sturdy had lost four head about
the same time, and, satisfied that these
were his animals, he went back to
Morris, and without any trouble iden-
tified the cattle as his, and brought
thein home. It is not thought that the
first claimant of the cattle had any dis-
honest intentions, but was simply mis-
taken in his identity of the animals.

was the scene of a large and brilliant
gathering, when Dr. and Mrs Milne
were at home to' their friends, A most
enjoyable time, was spent. Dancing

mous verdict on retiring being that
the host and hostess are possessed of
the happy 'faculty of making their
guests feel at home.

Patrons of Industry convention, h
at Smith's Hill on Saturday, Nov. 24

canvassing for a cheese factory he
have met with grand success, as only
very small portion of the ground h
been canvassed, and about $1,200
shares have been subscribed. At t
outset stock -holders anticipated ge
ting $2,000 in shares, which guarant
the erection of a good factory, but it
said they will have no difficulty in ge
ting $3,000. The next meeting will b
the 1st Thursday in December.
RETURNED.—Mr Will Gregg, who
went away from here over a year ago,
returned last Friday. He has yarns
now by the.acore and his supply seems
never to run out. Since last March he
has •been on a sealing expedition around
the North Pacific. On March 21st the
expedition reached Yokahama, Japan,
and from there went to China. His
opinion is thatif the Chinese do lose a
few thousand in the war they will
scarcely be missed for, in their cities
they are as thick on ordinary days as
one of our Canadians towns would be
on a Fair day. He did not see any of
the war, being there before it began.
From China he visited Russia in Asia
and around that way towards British
Columbia at:out a month ago. He
reports sealing a number one jcb and
intends going back in January. Al-
though pay is good yet he says Oanada
is far ahead of British Columbia to live
in.
CHURCH.—The Educational services
were conducted here last Sunday morn-
ing and evening by Rev. J. W. Holmes
of Clinton. His morning discourse
was both interesting and instructive,
his subject being "The Preacher's
Work" based on the text "Preach the
word," II Tim. 4;2. A yet more profit-
able sermon was given in the evening
on "The Preacher as a Teacher" based
on the text, "Apt to teach," II Tim.
2;24. While listening to Mr Holmes
one cannot but be convinced that he
is a deep thinker and one who under-
stands his work and has not only the
letter but the spirit of it. The sub-
scriptions were rather in advance of
last year. The pastor, Rev. E. A. Fear,
was absent over Sunday supplying for
Rev. Mr Galloway, Seafortb, who is yet
unable to take his own work. The
Thanksgiving service, although not as
largely attended as it might have been,
was a thanksgiving in the true sense of
the word. The pastor's subject dealt
largely with our benefits not only as a
nation, but socially and physically.
Special meetings are continued at
Sharon with good success.

BUTTER SOLD. — st of the
creamery butter has bbeenhe sold to Mr
Powell, of Blyth. The price is 18 cents
per lb. This has been a poor season
for all concerned with the creamery.
The directors tried hard to get 20 cehts,
but could not.
NOTES,—Albert Haggitt has gone to
Detroit for a time. Mrs John Lasham
has gone on a visit to her sister in De-
troit. Mr and Mrs J. D. Ainslie, of
Comber, are paying a visit to friends
in Hullett. Mr Tewsley, butcher, ex-
pects to leave this place the end of this
month. -
SURPRISE.—A number of the young
friends of Miss Clara Tewsley gave her
a surprise last Friday evening, by tak-
ing possession of the house and pre-
senting her with a farewell address.
They spent a few hours in amusements
and departed to their homes, sorry to
know that their friend will soon be
gone from here.
SUPPER,—The Sons of England sup-
per he was a nfavo ble. weather rand success considering
an
d
times. Mr McGill, one of the singers,
was unable to attend, but the court
secured the services of Mir R. Foster,
of Ulinton, and some think him fully
as good as McGill. The supper was
excellent, consisting of plenty of goose,
turkey and a great variety of cooking
that reflected credit on the ladies who
prepared the supper. Supper was
served in the Temperance hall, and
when all were well filled the crowd re-
paired to Bell's hall, where the enter-
tainment was held. The chair was oc-
cupied by Thos. Jackson, of Clinton, in
his own inimitable style. Short ad-
dresses were given by the Grand Presi-
dent and Grand Secretary of the or-
der, which were well received; there
was also vocal and instrumental music,
which so pleased the people that they
stayed patiently until almost 11 p.m.
The society has a clear profit of almost
$10, which is something more than
common with entertainments this
season. The fowl was so,good that
some of the Bros. from Clinton took a
supply to use on the road home, and
then next day sent a telegram to ship
out semis more to them. How is that
for high?

come one, come all as you will be Wel-
comed and also benefited by it.
Constance.
NOTES,—.The seats in the new church
were let on Friday evening last. The
Canadian Order of Foresters are in-
tending to have an oyster supper on
Dec. 7th. A few of our local nrnarods
are doing quite a business in the sable
(skunk) line this fall; one day a couple
of them brought in seven; this is good
news for poultry raisers, although the
odor is very disagreeable in the village.
Mr Fred. Marquis is visiting in the
village. Mr Chris. Dale, jr., has pur-
chased another farm, two and a -half
miles west of here; this gives him 700
acres.
I. O. G. T.—The installation cf the
lodge officers did not take place until
the 21st, owing to the meeting of the

day evening. The officers elected for

worthy of remarks.

tends moving his family from Oran -
brook this week. We notice Mr W.
Symington, our livery man, is sport-
ing a new dog skin coat, made by T.
Clark, the tailor; Billy says it is a
dandy. It is whispered that our popu-
lar harness -maker has purchased- a
bicycle; we do not know whose make
it is, but we expect it is all for the best,
as he will not need to walk now. G.
and H. Youngblutt have bought out
Mr Wetlaufer s butcher shop, and in-
tend doing a fair business; success boys.
The members of the Lutheran church

mable partner in life.
AccXDENT.—On Saturday last while
a building .was being moved on the
farm of Mr 11. Murphy, one of the men,
Mr Thos. Pritchard, ;net with an ac -
some time. willwent to move him off oone of

quick movement and caught his hand
between the roller and the sill, crush-
ing it severely.

progress at present, captained by Bros.
W. Johnson and E. Mcllveen.
T.
Chuff h ll are busy educating the fa . Hilldrm-
ers in this vicinity in the line of cheese
making; and it is likely that a factory
will be in operation during the Coming
season. Farmers should take hold of
this business and push it to a success-
ful issue,' as the past few years have
given ample proof that profitable grain
farming is out of the question under
existing circumstances. This is the
place for a factory as far as water sup-
ply, etc., is concerned.
NOTES.—Our village merchant has
had his domiciliary edifice re -sided,
which action was doubtless suggested
by our recent foretaste of winter's
chilling blasts. Mr A. McBrien, late
of Mitchell, is visiting in this vicinity.
Rev. Mr Diehl takes the service in
Ailsa Craig parish next Sunday; Mr G.
M. Kilty takes Mr Diehl's work at

Don't forget our entertainment in the
schoolhouse on the evening of Dec.
9th, in aid of the Sunday School, come

great dialogue "Belinda Jane and
Jonathan."
Hullett
A PROFITABLE Cow.— In the spring
of 1888, the late Humphrey Snell gave
his son William a thoroughbred heifer
calf, Hullett Beauty; it was then a year
old, and was the last article given from
father to son, before the formei's
death. Since then this heifer has
dropped live bull calves, which, when
sold, avers, ed _ 95. eac ..o - ,
mornfiig r ecame the motherlof an-
other bull calf. A record of six male
calves for a 7 -year old,is something out
of the ordinary.
NOTES.—Mr Thos. Troop lost a valu-
able mare one day last week, by colic.
Mr B. Tyreman got just one of his cat-
tle dehorned, as an experiment. Mr
Wm Stewart got all his herd dehorned,
and says he would not have them on
again, even if he could. Mr Allan
Farnham is still very low. Richard
Young had the misfortune to receive a
severe gash in his foot, while cutting
wood. Mr Jas. Moon has withdrawn
from the butchering business inLondes-
boro. Miss Bella Scott is -teaching
school in S. S. No. 4, in place of Miss
Richardson, who has gone home ill.
PROPERTY CHANGES. — Mr Robert
Sanderson disposed of his 75 acres, the
north half of lot 24, con. 13, to Mr Ms -
Gays, who in turn evchanged it to
Messrs Lasham and Bell for the Brown-
lee farm on the 5th con., lot 28. Mr
Marshall Braithwaite sold his farm on
the 14th con., containing 150 acres, to
Mr Wm.. Sanderson, of the 12th con.,.
for the sum of $8500. This will make
Mr Sanderson owner of about 475
acres. Dr. Taylor, of Goderich, pur-
chased the Taylor farm last week and
:fold the east half of his other farm to
his neighbor, Mr Frank Little. There
are no, buildings on the50acres and the
price was $2100. He paid something
over $5000 for the 100 acres. It is re-
ported that Mr J. Mills has bought 100
acres from Mr Young, on the 14th con.,
paying therefor the sum of $5,300;
there rs a good brick house and other
buildings on the place.
Brucefield,
NOTES.—Mr Jas. Foot occupied the
Methodist pulpit here last Sunday,
and gave a very earnest and eloquent
address; as a young man just entering
the work he has few equals; we speak
for him success, and God speed in the
work. Mr D. McIntosh, V. S., has
parch"•sed• a pair of the latest improved
dehorners. Messrs McGregor and
Hunter shipped a carload of fine pigs
on Monday last. Mr Wm. Pollock rs
visiting at Auburn. Mr C. Wallace
has gone to Saginaw, taking a position
there in the hospital; he carries with
him the hest wishes of this community.
We understand the Royal Templars
are taking up lines of study for the
winter months, at present it is geogra-
phy; itis interesting and profitable;
they are also contemplating having an-
other open meeting; we wish them suc-
cess in their efforts to train the young
and lift up the fallen. Mr W. McIn-
tosh paid our burg a flying visit on
Thanksgiving Day. Miss L. Rose
spent Thanksgiving at Seaforth.
