Illodgens Bros., CLI TON; Summerhill WELL DONE.—The cheese factory here, under the management of Mr W. Stacey, did exceedingly well at the Western Fair, carrying off three priz- es, as follows:—Factory cheese, color- ed, 2nd prize; factory cheese, white, 5thrize; and Sweepstake prize, gold medalpfor the best cheese in the exhi- bition. Mciillop. FARM BOCCI HT.—Mr Robt. Habkirk, son-in-law of Mr Thos. Palterman, has bought out Mr Wm, Johnston. The farm is the old homestead cf his father, 14 Ir George Habkirk. Mr Habkirk has been on Mr Palterman's farm for the past 13 years. It is quite likely that he will work both places, as there is only one farm between them. The price paid was if 4000. East Wawauosh. NOTES.—The Blyth Cheese Factory, have disposed of their August make of cheese for 91-lOc per lb. Mr Alex. Dingwall has been laid aside with • quinsy for some time, but is recovering. John G. McGowan is very ill with ty- phoid fever, but is improving slowly. Miss Maggie Harrison and her brother Robert spent last week at Toronto and vicinity, visiting the exhibition and friends. Benmiller NOTES.—Miss Annie Stewart is at present laid up with pleursy. Mrs M. Mugford is also on the sick list; we hope to bear of their speedy recovery. Mr Richard Jewell finished picking his plums on Thursday; he has sold 1010 baskets. W.W. and Wm. Fisher left Goderich, on Friday, with stock for the fall fair at London. Our miller, Mr Pframmer, has finished drawing a carload of Manitoba wheat from Gode- rich station. One of the sons of Mr P. Madael, while picking apalee, fell from the tree and sprained his wrists, besides being otherwise badly shaken up. We are sorry to hear that Mr J. Stevens is at present ill. On Sunday hist two men and a small boy visited our village with their cameras; we know not`what day of the week they left home, but at any rate we think it was not at all necessary for them to place their cameras and themselves in full view of the villagers on the Sab- bath day; if they want to photograph our beautiful scenery why not wait till a week day? Hullett RENTED.—Mr J. B. Little, who has been engaged with Mr Ben. Churchill, has rented the 30 acre plot from his un- cle, Mr John Gnrbett, situated on the Gravel road, past Londesboro, and takes possession this week. NOTES.—The Granton correspondent of the St. Mary's Journal says:—Mr J. Eedy has returned from a lengthy vis - t with his son John, at Downington, Mich,; in a week he will visit his daugh- ter, Mrs Richard Carter, Hullett. SOCIAL GATHERING.—On Thursday evening Mrs Ashley, of the 13th con., was "A.p Rome" to the members of her churdch class. The front lawn was nicely decorated with Chinese lant- erns, and a goodly number of young people—and some old ones—being pre- sent, they enjoyed themselves in inno- cent recreation, refreshments also be- ing served. Mrs Ashley has charge of a arge class of young people, who are Members of the Londesboro Methodist church; and this was her third annual "At Home" to them. The practise is a commendable- one, tending as it does to more friendly relations, and the de- velopment of the better traits of char atter. Oolbor, e..

CLINTON, ONT., SEPTEMBER 18 1896 Si a year in adva ase $1.50 when, not eo paid AROUND THE TUB. What wide-awake and reliable correspondents find worthy of recording for publication. Wingham. GOT ASTRAY,—An aged couple with their son and little grandchild arrived on the late train' from the east, Mon- day evening. The child'a father gave his little girl into his father's care while•he attended to his mother; in the meantime the old gentleman tried to hail the bus', telling the little one to stay on the platform, he left her for a minute or two. Fancy their astonish- ment upon returning to find no trace of her high or low; they searched, but all to no avail. Very late in the even- ing they received a telephone from Kincardine, stating the little one was safe and sound, although almost heart- broken. Directly her grandfather left her abe stepped upon the cars, and thus was she lost for one whole night. Noams.—Mr A. Nichols and daugh- ter, Tilly, are this week taking in the wonders of the Western Fair. Moore Bros. are putting a new tar roof on Chapman's tannery. Rev. Mr Hamil- ton preached in Lucknow en Sunday. Rev. Dr. Gifford will officiate In Ripley next Sunday, and the Ripley divine will fill the Wingham Methodist pul- pit. The harvest thanksgiving services in connection with the English church, were held in Wingham, Sunday last; the musical part was beautifully and solemnly: rendered, and the popular rector, Rev, Mr Lowe, preached most effectively. Wingham has five butch- er shops, the last addition being Mc- Kenzie's, adjoining the McKenzie ho- tel; while ever ready to welcome a new addition to our town, we cannot but feel that five butchers are rather too many, eviin'for Wingham. Nearly all Wingham and part of the United States seemed to participate in the at- tractions of the Queen City during the fall fair attractions of last Reek. Mr John Foster, of Clinton, spent Sunday with friends in Wingham. I tell you, sir, Wingham's granolethic walks are fust perfect, and the sooner Clinton ollows suit, why, so much the better. Mr Webber, who for a short time baked at the Ureka Bakery, Clinton, is now baking for Mr Nichols, of town. T. Gilbraith is now baking at King's bakery. A junior social was held in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday; it was well patronized and greatly en- joyed. The races to be held in Wing - ham, on fair day, promises to be even more attractive tan those of last July. A great load of apples barrels, (empty) upset on one of our streets Tuesday morning; they made a big spill, but no one was hurt, although Mr Davidson had a near call. Tuckeramith, NOTES.—Mr A. Elcoat has been laid up with inflammation of the lungs, but we are glad to say that he is able to be up again, and it is to be hoped that he will soon be out. Miss Nellie Crich has been confined to the house, suffer- ing from la grippe. Mr Geo. Turner is the recipient of a daughter into his home. Reports are heard every day of things that are likely to happen, so that if you hear the wedding bells ringing any day you need not be sur- prised. eh/tries Crich is visiting in Landon and Ingersoll. Frank Crich was down to London Exhibition a few days this week. WEDDING.—A very happy event took place at the home of Mr Jacob Upsball, on Wednesday evening, when his second youngest daughter, Miss Annie, was marr ied to Mr J.S. Crozier, a popular young business man of Sea - forth. The bride, beautifully attired, was assisted by her sister, Miss Lottie, and the groom by his brother. After a sumptuous dinner the happy couple at once proceeded to their home, amid the very best wiehes of all their friends. Rev. Mr Acheson performed the cere- mony, and about 70 guests were pres- ent. A large number of handsome gifts testified to the appreciation in which the bride ie held. Londesboro MANITOBA EXCURSION,—Mr W. T. Brunsdon took in the trip to Manitoba this week. FAIR.—The Western Fair, London, has been the big drawing card this week from this locality. APPLES.—Large loads of apples are passin4 through this village every day and yet none are being shipped from our station. What can be the matter this year? [ We believe that a Hullett farmer is shipping some himself to Glasgow.] NOTES.—Mrs McKenzie is visiting at Belgrave. Mr and Mrs Miller, of Bel - grave, are the ((nests of their daughter Mrs R. Bell, thre week. Mrs Langdon, of Eastwood, is the guest of her sister, Mrs John Brunsdon; this is her first visit in twenty-one years. COURT PRIDE OF TH E W EST.—At the last meeting of this court it was agreed that at the next meeting, on the 26th inst., that the matter of High Court Benefits, passed at last H. C., would be taken up and discussed, and that the members would have an opportunity of joining It if they made the necessary arrangement, It is hoped there will be a good turn out on that night. Stanley To BE TRIED AGAIN. — The familiar case of Halliday vs. the Township of Stanley, came up on appeal, at Osgode Hall, on Tuesday, and is, as our readers may remember, a suit against the Township for damages, owing to al- leged, defective roadway. The judges gr anted a new trial. DslATH8.--Mrs Mustard has gone to Tiverton to attend the funeral of Miss McLaren. The many friends of Mr Robt. Cameron will be sorry to hear of the death of his wife in Virginia City, Nevada, on the 8rd of September. NoTEe.--Misses Lily McCowan and Jeanie Thomson have been spending ;the week in London.

PREACHING. — Mayor Holmes, of Clinton, occupied the pulpit here Sun- day morning, delivering a veryimpres- sive and practical address fom Job 14, 14, "If a man die shall he live again." TEA -MEETING. — The Holmesville Methodist church will hold its anni- versary services on Sunday, Oct. 4th, Rev. R. Millyard, of Clinton, preach- ing morning and evening and Rev. A. Godwin, of Goderich, in the afternoon. The ladies of the church met on Wed- nesday and arranged for a sumptuous repast at the teameeting the following Monday, A WISE THING.—The directors of the Holmesville Cheese Factory have re- engaged Mr Ed. Johnson for another year. We think they have shown their appreciation of a competent man by doing so. Mr Johnson is a very suc- cessful cheese maker, having received, but a short time ago, a diploma for cheese he exhibited at the World's Fair in 1893. It was a long time com- ing, but better late than never. NOTES. Mr C. W. Andrewe, of Wroxeter, is expected to occupy the pulpit at one of the services on Sunday next. Mrs W. Pickard paid a visit to friends in Wingham. Mr and Mrs J. Lowery, of Summerhill, spent Sunday with friends in the village. Miss G. W. Andrews returned on Saturday from a visit to her brother in Toronto. Mr Ed. Johnson paid a flying visit to his brother in St. Thon_as Last week. Messrs C.W. and A. W.

Cook, Those who attended the Har- est Home entertainment held in the Evangelical church, Colborne, report having a good time. Blyth DEATH.—The home of Mr W. Sime has again been the scene of- sad be- reavement, his only daughter, aged 9 years, passing away with diphtheria; he has two other children i11 with the same complaint. What adds to the in- tensity of the affliction is the fact that this is the fourth child he has lost within a few years. CORRECTION.—In the report of the C. E. convention, recently held at God- erich, as given in the Nxw ERA, the Presbyterian Society of Blyth is men- tioned as having 66 members. That is the number of active members, but as some of the societies mentioned includ- ed in their number both active and as- sociate members, it is but right that the total number should be given for Blyth, which is 98. WEDDED—That popular young vocal- ist Matt Floody has at last "gone and done it," he being married on Wednes- day. The Exeter Advocate has the following concerning it:—It is always a pleasure to note the advent of an Exe- ter girl from maidenhood—fancy free —into Hymen's paradise. On Wednes- day afternoon the residence of Mr R. Crocker was the scene of a most plea- sant event, being the wedding of his daughter, Miss Alice Louise, to Mat- thew Floody, of Blyth. The knot was tied by Rev Willoughby in the pres- ence of a number of the contracting par- ties most intimate ft lends from Blyth, London and other places. The groom was assisted by the bride's brother, Mr Roger Crocker, of Toronto, while the duties of the bridesmaid were perfor- med by Miss Maggie Floody, sister of the groom. Presents of rare value and beauty were received by the bride among which was a handsome gold watch from the bridegroom. Gloderioh. NoTEs. —The council has awarded the Rogers Electrical Company, of London, the contract for the instate - tion of five hundred incandescent lights. Mrs Colin Campbell, Goderich, was among the prize winners at the London Fair for painting. Mrs Ure is seriously i11, as is also Mr Porter, of Fraser & Porter. Assrzne.—Mr Justice Robertson op- ened the Fall Assize Court here , Mon- day.

In the latter case the Grand Jury have found a true bill. Mr Farley of St. Thomas conducts the Crown business. THE G.N.W. EXHIBITION.—The pro- gram of the fall fair next week includes the presence of Lord and Lady Aber- deen, who will be received jointly by the Directors and Town Council, with a military escort and a band; a mam- moth chorus of 250 school children in a select program of national and patri• olio songs; and an evening recep- tion by their Excellencies when ad- dresses will be presented, including one to Lady Aberdeen from Irish citi- zens of the riding. This is the popular fair of the Huron district, and you can't afford to miss it. Fare and one- third tickets on the G. T. R., from 22d, good to return on 26th, and single fare on 23d, good"to return on 24th, .Spe- Bial train out each evening at 0 p. m. oamtamio A convention of Liberals te nominate a Candidate to take the seat in the~ legit. !mitre vacated bythe late lion.

UHURCH.—Mr E..Smitb, son of the respected incumbent of Trinity church, conducted the .services last Sunday, and delivered an excellent sermon from the text, "His ways are ways of pleasantness." Mr Smith, we under- stand, will occupy the pulpit again next Sabbath. FAIR.—As the date of the Bayfield Fall Show draws near, signs of prepara- tion are visible. The fast horses are being tested, the fat cattle are being carefully selected, the big vegetables laid aside, the prettiest fancy -work sorted out, and the choicest fruit pre- pared for what is considered one of the best agricultural exhibitions in this part of the country. We don't have any celebrated Chinamen, but we guarantee a good day for all those who visit our Fair. NOTES.—Mr and Mrs Mundell, and daughter Agnea, of Turnberry, were last week guests at the residence of Mrs Wm. Logan. Rev Mr and Mrs Ryan were in town this week. Mr M. Ross was in Toronto last week.. Mr W. Tippet, who is attending the Mod- el School at Goderich, spent Saturday and Sunday at home.

Edwards is visiting friends in Lobo and London district this week, Mr James lhomsorr has been in Toronto during the past week. We are sorry to hear of the continued illness of Mr H. Kemp, and hope he may soon recover. Hensall SoLn OUT.—We understand that Mr Jas.

MOVED.—Messrs Zuefle di Robinson have this week moved into their new store in the Rennie block, front St. They and their customers will find a big change from the cramped crowded store to the fine roomy structure they now occupy.

Hay township; Mrs Stewart, of the London road, Hensall; the infant child of Mr L. Harold, Sta- tion Agent, Hensall, and on Sunday last Mr Alex.

Berry's horse, Kilburn, took first pi ize in the 3 -year-old Shire class, and also the sweepstakes at both Torouto and London; Tom has a horse be may well feel proud of. The annual har- vest home services will be held in St. Paul's church on Sept. 20th, as usual the church will be beautifully decor- ated. Robt.

A LONG REIGN.—On September 2Srd next the reign of Her Majesty the Queen will be longer than the reign of an other sovereign who ever sat on the British throne. The longest pre- vious reign was that of George 111, who reigned 59 years and 110 days— though for the last nine or ten years of his reign he was incapaeited by in- sanity, and the throne Was really pc= copied by hie eine the Prince Its ant.

VOTERS' LIST COURT.—Judge Mass- on will hold a court for the revision of the Voters' List, in the Council Cham- ber on Tuesday, Sept. 29th, at 3 p. m. This will be his first official visit to the town. There are not many appeals to be disposed of, A PRIZE WINNER.—Mr Geo. Hoare made an exhibit of Gladioli, at the To- ronto Industrial, and although fifty of his choicest varieties were beyond ex- hibition purposes, he succeeded in get- ting second prize, which he considers very good under the circumstances. His brother, Col., was also an exhibit- or of fruit. TRIPLES —The trouting season closed last Monday. What about advertising those stray cattle on your premises? Hard times may be dull business, but it sharpens the wits of the merchant. The advertisement is the poker which stirs trade into activity. Pumpkin pie is likely to be decidedly scarce this year, as the crop of pumpkins, as wall as the squashes, is almost a complete failure; an insect, equally as destruc- tive as the army worm, has destroyed them. The potato crop will soon have to be harvested. Tomatoes are selling at 30s per bushel, cheaper than they have been here for years. Beautiful weather. The NEW ERA gives the news. DEATH or A GOOD MAN.—The Seaforth expositor thus refers to a gentleman who who will be remembered by some of our older residents.—Mr Martin Charlesworth passed peacefully away to 'the better land Saturday afternoon last, having reaohed the good age of 73 years. Mr Charles- worth was a native of Yorkshire England. He came toCanada whenquite a young man, drat locating in PortHope and after that in Clinton. • He came to Seaforth about 27 years ago. He was a miller by trade and was for sometime after coming to Seaforth engaged as Manager of the mill now own- ed by Mr Ogilvie. He built the mill at Egmondville which which was afterwards owned by Messrs. Kyle d: Mustard, and which was burned some ten or twelve years ago. Of late years be has not been (engag- ed in any business and for a considerable time he has not enjoyed ;good health. He was a man of whom one never heard any- thing but good spoken. He was a devoted member of the Methodist church, and his every day life bore testimony to the sincer- ity of his ;profession. In fact, his death removes one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of the town. He leaves a widow who, we regret to learn, is in very feeble health, and a family of eight eons and one one daughter tooherish the memory of a loving and thoughtful husband and the kindest of parents. THE NEW TRAINMASTER.—The Belle- ville Sun of the llth says:—Mr John Irvin, the newly -appointed train master at this station, has taken hold of hie office and is actively engaged in be- coming acquainted with the stations, trainmen and general run of affairs in his diatrict. Yesterday he made an inspection of the yards and shops here and became acquainted with local affairs. He will have charge of the district from Brockville to Toronto, and will spend much of his time on the road, but his office will be here. The dispatchers will arrive here shortly, and with the agents and operators, as well as trainmen will be under Mr. Irwin's direct supervision. The men will have to be circumspect in their conduct and actions, as the new manager will not allow any drink- ing or other unseemly conduct. Mr Irwin's position is a very responsible one, but he appears to be a man who is thoroughly capable of accomplishing his arduous duties to the satisfaction of all concerned. [A short time ago the NEw ERA announced the appoint- ment of Mr John Irwin, eldest son of Richard Irwin, to a position at Strat- ford. The announcement was pre- mature, and so far as location was concerned was incorrect. We now congratulate our young friend on his advancement to this importan t position and need only reiterate what we said before, that we believe he has every qualification for the proper discharge of his duties. He started hie railroad career in Clinton Station, under the training of Mr A. O. Pattison, and it is no email honor that an native of Clinton, only 80 years of age should be called uppon to fill oo important a pos. Rion. We Might add further, that the NEw Era representative happened to meet Mt "Irwinand Wife, the other er day white they vere On rexte Henerillet n b th e edeIiR ted.G po�. ,seet of residn the .0 thein: birth,. • From no or from epeetaole peddliire, ., consider first, which one of AB 'Will make the trauosotion recut satisfao,, tory to you.

Doig, the efficient principal of Harriston Public School, was a caller at the NEW ERA office on Wednesday, he having been one of the grand jurors at Goderich. Ordinarily teachers are exempt from jury work, but Mr Doig has the good fortune to own and work a farm in Tuckeramith also, and of course ap- pears on the Voters' List as a farmer. When summoned, he claimed exempt- ion on the ground of being a teacher, but they refused to release him, claim- ing that so far as the county of Huron was concer neci, ue sr' ti farmer. This may be law, but it migh„ easily allow, of an unreasonable iriterpretat.,:. LAWN TENNIS—CLINTON vs. WING- HAM.—A very interesting game of tennis was played on Thursday after- noon between the above tennis clubs on the lawn of Mr Jas. Fair, jr. Quito a number of ladies turned out to see the match, which was very keenly contested, resulting in a clean victory for the Clinton tennis club. Oombe and Terry beat Ambrose and Bastedo 9-7, 8-10, 6-3. McTaggartand DrKraus- man beat Griffin and . Campbell 6-4, 3.8, 6-4. In the singles, Dr. Kransman beat Griffin 8-6. Owing to darknes the singles had to be omitted. The Wingham team played a very steady Fame, but failed to ,score:at the crit- ical points, Terry's cuts proving very puzzling. The return match will be played in Wingham on Sept. 21, when Clinton expects to take six players. THE NEW COUNTY COUNCIL.—At the request 'of Warden Strachan, ale the reeves of the county proceeded to God- erich, on Wednesday, to meet and consult with the Commissioners ap- pointed to divide the county under the new county council act. The Commis- sioners discussed several plans for the formation of the county, and we un- derstand that at their last sitting yes- terday morning, (Thursday) decided to accept the plan outlined in the Exposi- tor of May last, which formed eight districts, as the formation of the divi- sions. This places Goderich township, Clinton and Hullett into one divisions the division is made on the basis of population and equalized assessment, and it seems to us that it is as fair a one as could be made. Brucefteld NOTES—J. B. Aikenhead returned to his situation in London this week. D. McDonald and neices,the MoisesSmith, returned to their homes in Chicago, on Monday. Mr and Miss Scott, of Michi- gan, are visiting Wm. Scott and wife. The G.N. W. Telegraph Co. has con- nected its wire with the station here; the idea of thio is that a break in the line may be more readily discovered. Hugh Aikenhead feft for the Nortwest on Tuesday. Messrs Graham Tur- ner and Monteith came back from Eng- land last week, looking as if their trip with cattle had benefited them both fi- nancially and physically. Among those who are in London this week are Mrs M. A. V. Armstrong, Peter McGregor, B. R. Higgins and Jas. Baird. Two or three cars of apples are being shipped from here every day. Miss Bertie Gib- son is visiting friends nearEgmondville. Marriage is in the air; some are getting married while others are fairly achi ng to follow suite; it so completely fills their minds that they dream of it and get- ting up next morning must needs send a false item to some local paper an noun- oing the nuptials of some townsman; keep on children and if you are saving enough yon may sometime reach the goal which seems your supreme ambi- tion. TO CORRESPONDENTS. — We have heard from very few of our correspon- dents this week. Whether they are at the London Fair or elsewhere, we know not, but we do not like to be without their usual contributions, and we hope they will send their newsy budgets as usual. A Goon THING.—In the Sept. num- ber of "Farming" is published a most elaborate, wellllustrated and com- plete article on agriculture in Ontario and what organized, municipal and provincial aid has done for this, the most important and far-reaching ma- iterlal interest of the Dominion.
