BOOTS AND SHOEs1 t We understand

Seaforth, who will take possession
shortly.
CHuRcH.—A very large congrega
tion was present Sunday morning at
the sacramental services, the pastor
gave a splendid sermon in the evening
as encoui agement to young converts
to work, from John 1, 42, "And he
brought him to Jesus." On Monday
the Board met, and among other items
of business Mr W. Murch was elected
representative to District meeting, to
be held in Holmesville this fall. It
was decided to: build a brick furnace
.at the west side, similar to the one on
the east side of basement. Mr Thomas
Murch will occupy the pulpit on Sun-
day morning.
A GOOD SHOWING.—We notice an
itern in our totem's correspondence
that is probably a little misleading.
Of the four sent up for P. S. Leaving
two passed high, one was only a few
marks behind, but obtained an en-
trance standing, and the other got all
that was expected, an entrance. The
five who wrote for entrance were quite
young and merely wrote to find their
standing to prepare for leaving next
year. Our cotem tells the truth, but
not all the truth, and an outsider read-
ing it would imagine the teacher was
probably at fault, but such is not the
case. Mr McRoberts gives satisfaction
in every particular, and with a large
attendance and an 'unusually large
class for a county school we render
him the credit that is justly due. Nev-
er did a teacher take so much pains in
order to flt pupils for their examina-
tions, and we are sorry that he severs
his connection as teacher at Xmas.

Patrons of Industry will beheld on the

cellent discourse from Pea. 121, 3-5 6.

now vacant, and urged the congrega-
tion the necessity of calling another
pastor as soun as possible.
UNFORTUNATE. — Mr John Clutton
lost a valuable milking cow on Satur-
day and has a steer very sick. It is
supposed to be caused by the dry food
packing in the stomach and causing
inflammation. It seems quite a mis-
fortune to Mr Cluttcn, as he has not
been able to leave the house for six
weeks with inflammatory rheumatism,
SOCIAL.—On Friday evening last the
members of the Y.P.S.C.E. ered•

he has this year, and his farm certain-
ly presents a fine appearance.

Brucefleld's fame as a summer res
is now, apparently, almost worldwi

this summer we have had touri

Toronto,. Chicago and several ot
places, while this week the names
Kincardine, Detroit, Hamilton a

We understand Mr Mclntosh holds
lucrative position in the America
Express Office, which employs upwar
of 800 men and from the station a
which he works despatches 275 train
daily. He frequently sees John M
Leod, who practices ' medicine in th
adjoining city, Brooklyn. A bill un
ting New York, Brooklyn and sever
other smaller places has recently pas
ed its second reading, which, if it b
comes law, will form a city with
population of four and a half million
Miss Spalding, of Detroit, is visitiu
at Mrs Geo. Hart's. Professor Math
son, of Hamilton, spent a few day
last week with Mr Scott. Miss Flood
of Kincardine; Miss Belle McKenzi

Mrs Douglas, who has been stayin
with Mrs Aetzel, has returned to he
home in Exeter. Mrs Scott and niece
May Scott, have gone to London for
few days. Miss Gardiner, of Bayflel'l
is this week the guest of Miss Mary
.Marks -.she seems" quite- capable of ap
predating a good town when she see
one. Mr John Allan, the old war
horse, has left town to continue hi
peregrinations around this mundane
sphere. The McDonald boys have
erected a new tent on their lawn,whi:
they will rent or sell. Quite a numbe
of the young ladies of our town ar
learning to ride the wheel; we would
like to see them make headway. Ou
worthy Mayor, Mr W. Scott, has de
clared Thursday, the loth, our civ'
holiday, and calls upon all loyal citi
zens to observe it as such; it is hope
that all the manufactories, stores an
offices will be closed on this occasion
Uncle Torn's Cabin is billed to play
here first Thursday;' the troop is said
to he a good one. Crops in this vicini-
ty, though short in straw, are yielding
exceptionally well; Mr A. Mustard's
wheat turned out 33 bushels to the
acre. • Mr Hugh McCartney is erecting
a neat brick house on the site of the
old one, near the old cheese factory.
Miss Roberts, of Seaforth, who has
been visiting at Mrs Whitt's, left for
home ori Sunday. We notice with
regret that our town bell is in a rather
tottering condition; we believe that
we have but to call the attention of
our Minister of Public Works to this
and he will have it immediately at-
tended to. Mr Jas. McDonald, one of
our fashionable city tailors, has gone
on a visit to Kincardine. Mr Herman
Wise has left for parts unknown. The
other day while Mr W. Scott was driv
ing along the road his dog rushing
heedlessly like many people, after a
flitting bird, ran violently into a bar b -
wire fence, seriously injuring one of
its pedal extremities; no doubt the
sympathy of the whole canine com-
munity is extended to it. Mr W.
Plewes has left for Manitoba. Robert
Fulton, of Hensall, visited our town'
on Tuesday. The trustees of S.S. No.3,
Tuckersmith, have re -shingled their
school; we wish its veteran teacher,
Mr A. Scott, success in his coming
year; Andrew has some friends in our
town who would like to see him do
well. Mr W. Scott shipped 12,000 lbs
of wool to Lawrence, Mass., one day
this week; how's that. for business! the
mill to which he shipped it consumes
one million pounds of wool a week
and employes 6,000 hands—nearly as
many as all Holmesville. Mr Malcolm
cEwen shipped from our depot last
riday a car -load of fine Shropshire
eep to Maryland. Some of our boys
have got lacrosse sticks; they have
been doing some talking of arranging
a lacrosse or football match with our
campers at an early date, but no de-
finite arrangements have as yet been
arrived at; the game wilrbe played on
the Recreation Park.
OUR CHALLENGE
is hereby extended to Clinton foot-
ball team to play a match with our
team; game to be played inside of two
weeks, with impartial referee and ac-
cording to Western Association foot-
ball rules.—Sec. Brucefleld Rovers.

We are pleased to see him still able to

says that he realizes that what people
want is to go "Where the bailiffs cease
from troubling, and the auctioneer is

he wishes to forsake Holmesville for a
month and come to Brucefleld? Here
indeed he may find prosperity. We
do not wonder at the Holmesville
OUR AGED
Adjoining our village, to the north,
live two of the oldest farmers of the
Province, Mr Neil Ross and Mr Duncan
McDonald, the former being eighty-
eight years of age and the latter ninety
last March. Mr Ross was the first
settler in Huron. They are both hale
and hearty, and are living witnesses to
the remarkably animating influences
of our Brucefleld atmosphere. In the
cemetery adjoining our village to the
south, he buried, perhaps, the oldest
couple in America, Mr and Mrs Mc-
Donald, being each 102 years of age.
Mrs McDonald was two years the
younger, but survived her better half
by two years. They were of Highland
birth, but spent a good part of their
years in the vicinity of Brucefleld.
The scientists of our town have not,
as yet, been able to apply electricity
to the extension of human life, but to
all those who desire the next best thing
we would say—take up your perman-
ent abode at that wonderful health -
giving summer resort—Brucefleld. In
a preceding issue' we promised °to set
forth a few of the many -wonderful at-
tractions and advantages our town
offered as a summer resort; in com-
pliance with thatromise we submit
the following brief summary:—
OUR CLIMATE
is one of the most propitious on the
North American continent, being free
from all malarial fevers, and just such
as is calculated to develop brain and
muscle and as to its conduciveness to
longevity, we refer you to the infallible
records of the -past as proving beyond
all gain -saying or contradiction that it
is without an equal.
OUR MANUFACTURES
though still in their infancy, are,
nevertheless, of a high quality and are
even now eagerly sought after. Our
manufactories are constructed in the
most approved style, with all the latest
model n improvements, consuming
their own coal -smoke, etc., and are
situated just outside the city limits—
we refer of course to the new cheese
factory, whose manager is Mr Coleman
with first assistant Mr R.Foote. The
old cheese and butter factory is not
doing much business this year. Our
saw -mill owned by Mr A. Mustard is
also built outside the corporation, and
is doing a rushing business. Our car-
raige factory as it makes but little
smoke is allowed to exist within the
limits of our blue -canopied town.
OUR PARK
is situated south of Mrs Rattenbury's
house, and we have no hesitation rq
saying that we do not believe there is
another park of similar size in Huron
that contains so many hundred dollars'
worth of rare flowers, shrubs and trees.
Through winding labyrinths, past sum-
mer-houses,past hedges trimmed in the
shape of arm -chairs, Crosses, and every
conceivable shape and form, you come
to a shaded enclosure where the weary
traveller may slake -his thirst by dip-
ping in the well the "iron -bound
bucket." Here is presented to your
view a scene of picturesque grandeur
composed of rugged rocks and o'er it
the ivy "creeping, creeping every-
where.' Among the rare shrubs and
trees are the Russian Gooseberry,
Japan Tea Trees, Seringa, Adam's
needle, Tree -on -fire, Hawthorne, CiI-
matis and an Irish elrn. the graft of
which was taken from Phoenix Park,
Dublin. Visitors and tourists should
not fail to see this, as you will be wel-
comed and gladly shown through by
its genial proprietor, Mr Marks. The
other attractions of our town are
manifold, being, in facts "too numer-
ous to mention." Coale and be con-
vinced that as a summer resort and
happy camping grounds we stand un-
equalled,
Harlock.
NOTES.—Miss Shannon of London,

Hensa
CHURCH.—The qua erl services of

NOTES.—Last week Mrs Wm. Lash -

ture her arm. Messrs. Collins, father
and son, from Glencoe, have purchased
the plant and machinery of the old
woollen mill at Piper's dam, lately run
by Mr Dickson. Wilmer Smith has
bought out the undertaking stock of D.
B. Galbick. Saturday last, little Glad-
ys, the six-year old daughter of J. S.

CHURCH. — On Sunday, Aug 4th,
Victoria St. Methodist church had its
best Quarterly meeting during the
present pastorate, nearly the whole
membership was represented at the
10 a.m. Lovefeast, alt but half a dozen
speaking, and at the evening Sacra-
mental services Revs. Edge and Le -
Gear assisted in administering th e
sacrament. At the evening service
there was a reception service, when
eight people were received, five on
trial and three by letter. Three per-
sons were received into the church at
Zion the previous Sunday. Pastor and
people are much encouraged by the

CHURCH.—The lecture room of North
street Methodist church was well filled
at the lovefeast and fellowship meet-
ing, last Sunday morning. The meet-

able. At the close of the fellowship
meeting the public service was con-
ducted by the pastor, Rev J. Edge,who
preached an interesting sermon from
Ys. 103, 1, at the close of which the
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was
observed, the Rev J. T. Legear, of Ro-
chelle, and the Rev W. S. Jamieson, of
Hamilton, assisting the pastor; a large
number communed. In the evening
Rev Mr Jamieson preached a very able
sermon from Heb. 7, 25. The day's
services were a great blessing to the
large congregations present. ,The
Quarterly Official Board met on Tues-
day evening, with nearly all the mem-
bers present, and found the finances in
