Mr, John Hans- ford, of Clinton, said "it was very difficult to make a distinction. He him- self made $5000 in a stock transaction, though he was sorry to say he had lost $8000 last spring. It was all very well to petition parliament and to blame bucket shops, but he thought it was the man, and not the bucket shop, which was to be blamed. It was not the bar which should be blamed, but the man who drank. He acknowledged the ex - tenter the gambling evil, but he thought it wan the dory of the clergy to give advice to teach men the better way." The words of Mr. Raneford should be printed in big letters and hung up where Methodist conferences, Presbyterian assembles, Baptist conventions and Congregational unions meet. Faithful, earnest preaching of the gospel will do more good than restrictive acts of par- liament, TOWN TOPICS. -Read our new story. -Auburn rifle club defeated Blyth retie club last Thursday by 29 points. -Master DeWitt McTavish, of De - trait, ie eisirieg at the home of Mr. J, A.

But the *an to whom it was addressed was no longer e, participant in mundane affairs and the postmaster struck out the name of the town and inserted the word Heaven. The package carte up tideway and the mail clerk on the train dropped it into the Blyth mail bag. The mail clerk is to be congratulated upon doing the best thing possible under the circumstances. Probably had the postmaster concluded that the deceased gentleman had gone to a warmer clime, the man on the train would just es naturally have gent his mail to Clinton or Wingham or some other of theirs wicked,places. LETTER FH MICHIIGAN. We are in receipt of the followin¢ letter from Mr. John F. Nivins:- Biawatha, Miob., June 10ah,1903. DEAR EDITOR, -Hero I am located in Uncle Sam's domains, after a pleasant trip up the lakes. 1 left Blyth on the forenoon train Saturday, 6th inst., for Kincardine, where I went on board the Algoma Cer.t.ral Steamship Co's. stea,n- er, King Edward, on Sunday morning at six o'clock. Our next port of calling wag Southampton, from whence, 1 was under the impreseien, we would sail directly to Sault Ste, Marie, but imagine my surprise when I found we were to make a tour of the Georgian bay, call- ing at Parry Sound, Little Current and Thessaion, unloading a car of brick and one of flour at,the latter port. I realized that for the first time in my life I was more than half a mile from a cow's tail, as our boat carries n0 cattle, We arrived in the Soo at 10.80 1'Ion- day night, and baying registered at the Hiawatha hotel, I satire.] for the night. Next morning I started out to look up Mr. I. J. Downey, an old Belgravo boy, who is chief of police in the Canadian Soo, and found him about eight o'clock looking hide and hearty as ever I remained Tuesday and Wednesday on the Canadian side, taking le the principal sights, among which might be mentioned the pulp mill, steel )data, Bring Your Wheat Blyth Flour Mills. Highest Price Always Paid. FLOUR Pure Manitoba $2.26 per cwt. Favorite, $1.910 per cwt, NIII Feed and Chop on hand. Chopping 4o per bag, except Peas and Corn 5c. C. H. BEESE. and Met, but not leant, the canal lecke, ani "Begone, Mr. Editor, Oi till ye it ie wunderful the invinsbins of man," I crossed the river on Thursday morn- ing and found the sister city a lively place, and re -crossing in the evening, I spent the night on the Canadian side. Friday morning I took the train for Manistiquc. Michigan, where I arrived about seven o'clock, and as Hiawatha Was uppermost in any hind I registetel et the hotel which hears that name quite near the Soo line depot. Saturday morning I started out for a walk, but as tho Jay wire very cold I concluded to stay inside, and eo 1 went direct to the depot of the Manistiquc, elarquettc and Northern railroad, from whence I wan to take the train for Hia- watha. I should Iutve stated that while in Manistiquc I fell into conversation with a portly gentleman earned Mr, A. J. Smith, who happened to he a resident of the Hiawatha to which I was going. Mr. Smith is a veteran lumberman of the upper peninsula and has resided here over 20 years, pro that lin can give a graphic description of camp life in the early days. �4 ell, as I was about to say, I board. ed the train and arrived at Hiawatha on the main line about 10 o'clock, my destination being still about 31 mileg distant. Fortnnatsly there Happened to be a teameter who wee taking supplies to a camp in the direction I was going, SO 1 got a ride and had my trunk taken the beet part of the way. I arrived at Mr, Wm. Watson's who by the way .is a Belgravian, and well- known in Blyth, just in time for dinner, to which I did ample justice. I found the trill crew, of which Mr, Watson is foreman, composed largely of Belgrave boys who were all looking well. Mon- day morning I started to work myself, running the gang edger and log kicker. The mill cute from 18,000 to 20,000 feet per day of hardwood, and is a great fuel economizer. About 18 or 20 cords of 16 -inch slabwood are made every day, and ea a spur has been constructed Erwin the main Itne of railroad every- thing is loaded without any expense of teaming, The wood slides out auto the car as it comes from the saw and is piled it) place by a nigger. The weather is very dry and growing crops are suffering in consequence. There are a great many bud' fires arouud us and considerable timber has been destroyed. Speaking of the " bush," that term is never used by the natives here, as they always call it the "woods," and when anyone uses the former word they say he is from Can- ada. Well Mr. Editor, I have given you the substance of what I have seen, so that you know as much as I, only I have seen it, and you have read it. I may nay 1 have written this in a great hurry to get it off on r.he mail, as we only have three mails each week here es yet. 1 will write you again as I get better acquainted with the pace.
