grandeur,) and our hotels, (the princi-
pal ones having free conveyance to
and from railroad, boats, tennis and
bowling lawns,) with inset reasonable
rates and close to the beach. All
these and many other advantages
prove why so many seek this place for
their annual outing. Well on tofive
hundred persons have so far this year
patronized this place. and all express
themselves highly pleased. Many of
them have visited several well-known
resorts, and they say this beats them
all. We fell satisfied that an Electric

lines, or extending along the shore,
will sooner or later become an estab-
lished fact, but not until our hatbor is
properly repaired can we expect it.
With the present Liberal Government
and the united and persistent efforts
of our citizens and the Huron Govern-
ment members may we secure the Go-
vernment's attention and substantial
assistance. Other enterprises would
naturally follow and Bayfield yet be-

The hill that lovers love to climb.

And border -bound with fleecy foam.

SAD DEATH.—It is Our sad duty this

SUMMER RESORT.—A8 a summer re-
sort Bayfield is this season more popu-
lar than ever before, far outdoing, in
the number of guests, many of the old-
er and better known resorts. It is
but a few years since this place became
known as a summer resort, and its ev-
er-tncreasingpopule.rity has, in a great
measure, beefs brought about and, in
fact, originated from the correspond-
ence sent to the papers by some of our
best young writers, who are always
ready to set forth to the world the
many' charms of Bayfleld. For all
this there ie just cause, for nowhere on
the shores of Lake Huron, or, we may
say, on any other lake, can a more
suitable or picturesque place be found.
Eabh year the fame of Bayfield ex-
tends, and it is now a necessity that
rriore ample accommodation is royid-
ed. '

Since that time he has not been ab-
sent one single day, a period of more
than two years and nine months.

Not How Cheap,
But How Good
Is the principle on which we sell
d ugs. You need drugs. You'
need them good. Our specialty
is good drugs, drugs you can rely
on. Believing that in drugs es-
pecially people want the best, we
therefore buy the best, sell the
best, and necessarily, of course,
charge for the best. Depend
upon it, however, that charge is
as low as we can make it.

Seaforth.
ISN'T THIS AN EXAGGERATION?—It 18
said bythose who should know that
over furteen thousand dollars have
been invested in bicycles in the town
of Seaforth, daring the present season.
—Expositor. $100 will buy a mighty
nice bicycle, and the majority of
wheels are purchased at much less, but
assume that the wheels in Seaforth
cost $100 each, the expenditure of
$14,000 would give them 140 wheels.
Are there that many bicycles in use
there? Even if the wheels and outfits
cost $140, this would still give 100
wheels to the use of Seaforth citizens,,
which is very likely a larger number
considerably than is actually the case

formerly of this town, intends returning

ing,
SHOCKING AFFAIR.—Saturday after-
noon last this town was visited by one
of the heaviest thunder storms it has
ever experienced, and sad to say the
lightning was the cause of a very dis-
tressing death. Mr John Waugh, a
very estimable citizen, a retired farmer,
but who was employed as weighmaster
at the Flax Mill, stood in the office
doorway watching the storm, when a
bolt of lightning struck him. —
He remained standing a moment, as if
dazed, and then fell, without a word.
He was at once picked up, but the
lightning had accomplished its work
instantly, he being killed on the spot.
He had been standing with his left
hand resting on his hip, and the light-
ning struck him on the elbow, leaving
only a small scar in evidence of its ter-
rible work. Others who were near at
the time were stunned by the shock,
but no one else sustained any injury.—
