The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observed in Willis church next Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Hkrieilton, of Londesboro, will fill the pulpit in the evening The preparatory services will be conducted by Rev. Mr. Dickie, of Seaforth, on Friday afternoon and evening. Jake's Oigger Returned. Jake Sloman's gigger was wheeled off by some person or persons unknown last Wednesday night and not located until Saturday when found at Lucan Crossiug'and brought up by the train. Presumably it was a couple of tramps who preferred the gigger to the bump- ers who played this trick on Jake. All the while it will be a sorry day for whosoever he catches at such work again. Officers of Rattenbury St. E. L. The following are the officers elect of the Epworth League of Rattenbury St. Methodist church for the term of one year, beginning July let :—Honor-- ary President, Rev. Mr. Millyard ; President, T.

As he was shearing sheep an obstreperous ewe kicked the shears and oue of the blades punctured the eye hall and in witndrawing drew part of the interior of the eye through the wound. Mr. Young did not think much of the in- jury at the time and wrapping a hand- kerchief around his head went on with his work, but next morning found it necessary to come in to the Dr. for treatment. I -Ie is now doing well, but may utiurately loose the sight of one if not both eyes. How Does the Vagrancy Act Read? A party of dirty -Syrians, monkeys and bears tom-tomu,ed and 'danced through the streets Saturday after- noon and camped over Sunday in Mr. W. 0, , Elliott's woods. down the Bay- field Roach where they kept up their, perforrnnnee itll day foie 'tlee +amuab- ment of the boys along the line and such passers by as there were. The Syriane had a couple of wagons and a tent, but the whole outfit was one of the most disreputable possible. Their receipts are not large but every nickel is made a prisoner, the party exist- ing upon what they can beg. And they are most persistent beggars. If they are not vagrants, we would like to know what constitutes vagrancy. They have, they said, tramped through Eng- land and Scotland in the same fashion. It would nob be difficult to estimate their value'to this ccuntry. Death of Richard Heywood, Mr. Richard Heywood was seized by a hemorrhage while at work at tho Doherty factory Friday p.m. last and had to be conveyed home. The follow- ing forenoon he had a similar attack end afterwards fell into a sleep from which he never awakened. It was a sudden calling away though it bas been apparent for some time that the har- vest of the grim reaper was rapidly ripening. The stay which the deceas- ed made at the Gravenhurst Sanitari- um hast fall was temporarily beneficial, but the disease which proved his un- doing had made too great inroad upon his constitution to be shaken of, es- pecially as Mr. Heywood was in his fifty-fifth year, It is an unusually sad case, as it deprives a family of seven children of the care of the only remain- ing parent. The F;tdeet° of the family is a young women of about nineteen years of age, while the youngest is hut seven. They are provided with this world's goods to the extent of the houee in which they live, a $1000 insur- ance in the C.O.F. and like amount in the Canada Life Company. The• funeral took place Tuesday with Masonic honors, the deceased hav= ing been a member of Clinton Lodge for many years. The pall -hear - ore wore all Masons:—O. Johnston, W. Paisley, J. T. Blackall, J. Cupp, J. Wheatley and T. Smallacombe. The brethren formed at the lodge room and then marched to the late resi- dence of the deceased and from thence preceded the cortege to the Clinton cemetery where the remains were laid at rest with the honors of the Order which deceased loved so well. Mr. W. Jones was Master of Ceremonies, while the Deputy District Grand Master, J. P. Tiernay, conducted the impress- ive service dnring which the brethren circled about the grave, each drop- ping a sprig of evergreen, then pointing afoft. Tho chureh service was con- ducted by Rev. Mr. Millyard, Have You Tried Spraying? Mr. Searle brought in a twig from a plum tree Monday to show us a sample of the ravages what he called the green apis is making. As on the plum so on the other fruits and shrubs, he said, and he expects much damage will be done. He will try spraying. Clerk Coats uses a solution of kerosene and soft soap on his rose bushee of which he has many and a remarkably fine variety, Cricket Match Next Monday. The .cricketers have been a little backward in practise but will be at it every afternoon this week making ready fur next Monday's match with Forest. The probable players are :— M. McTaggart, J.

In ad- dition to Forest, matches are expected with Windsor and the Parkdales, both teams touring, and Listowel. The Marine Now la Charge. Captain Keeler, late leader of'the Marine Band, is now in command of the S. A. corps here and its Brass Band which he is hard at work training, and as he is an ambitious sort of a fellow wants to have an aggre- gation very little inferior to the famous Marines. If we mistake not, Clinton - inns will encourage the Captain in his laudable undertaking. The Band Will play on the Square eyery Thursday evening. Governor Cameron's Daughter Wedded. Miss Mabel Cameron, daughter, of Governor Cameron, was yesterday united in marriage to Mr. R. A. Bay- ley, of Bayley & Bayley, barristers, London. There were many guests and the affair a swell one, all the more so since it happens to he tae first event in the family after the elevation of the old war horse to the Governorship of the Territories. Mr. Bayley is said to he a Tory, adding another to 111. C's Tory sons-in-law. a Sudden Death of Mrs. Treleaven. Mr. J. W. Treleaven, of the Colle- giate Institute staff, received over the wire from Lucknow yesterday morn- ing the very sad news that his mother had died suddenly during the night from heart failure from which she had been suffering for some time. IV -was a terrible shock, the more so since when he visited her last Sunday'shes seemed in better, health than she had been for some time. This is a double affliction in a year, his father having died in June last. Mr, Treleaven took the first train for Lucknow to attend the funeral. 33rd Battalion Notes. The 33rd Battalion belongs to the 2nd Brigade Division of Military District No. 1 and will go into camp June 21st and not June 7th as announced in our last edition. It is the 1st Brigade Division which go into Camp on June 7th. Captain Cornhe informs us that No. 4 Company will be recruited up to 31 privates and is at this early date rapidly reaching that point. This Company will have new uniforms this year, and special arrangements are under way to secure the comfort of the men while in Camp. He is pre- pared to pay $1 a day for a thorough- ly competent cook, as one of the greatest discomforts of Camp is the miserable way the food is served up. --Sergt•Major Jackson goes to Brussels this week to look after. No. 5 Company for Captain McTaggart.-- Sergt. W. Miller, of No. 4 Company, is recruiting a section in Summerhill. J. 1... Doherty a Successful Trainor'. As a trainer, and driver Mr. J. L. Doherty met with great success at the Exeter races on the 24th, winning fret money with Ring Stanton in the Free for All; 1st with Marguerite in the three minute class, in three straights ; 2nd with Morino in running race while Scabbard, the property of Mr. John Beacom, Goderich township, was going well in the 2.30 race when he went lame and had to be withdrawn. J. L took his string of winners, together with Jessie Stanton by King Stanton, to Guelph Tuesday where he has them entered in the three -days' races now in progress and next week he goes to Stratford. Ring Stanton never won public money until taken hold of by Mr. .Doherty who fully expects before the season is over to got him a record of 2.10. This horse, which will go into the stud next season, is the property of Mr. Thomas Murdock, Hensall, a rhorogoing horse- man, while Morino and Marguerite are owned by J. M orner,. Zurich, who races for the sport not the money there is in it. Mr. Doherty at Exeter drove against some of the best drivers in the province and heat horses which have a record of 2.13. He has in his string a pacer elegihlo for the three- minute class which he has sent out in 2.15. Walker's A Worker. Notwithstanding that his old enemy, sciatica, has its grip upon him, Mr. Thos. A. Walker is as busy as can he and puts in ten hour's work every day. Just now he is finishing up a barn foundation for Melville Clarke, of Hal- lett, while in a 1e miles stretch in Tuckersmith he has these contracts: Roger Pepper, barn foundation ; Harry Cudrnore, house foundation ; Harry Carter, barn foundation ; John Wise, Karn foundation. The Rector of St. Paul's Was I11. Rev. Mr, Parke was unable to offici- ate last Sunday owing to a sudden and severe attack of illness, so in the a.m. there was no service, but in the even- ing a Mr. Herbert, a Huron College student who had taken Mr. Smith's work for the day, occupied the pulpit. A. couple of the members of St. Paul's took charge of the service at Summer- hill so that there might not be disap- pointment there. Mr. Parke, we are pleased to hear, is about himself again, Terry's Winning Galt. By the Montreal dailies we notice that Mr. Terry has thus early in the season struck a winning gait with the team he is now coaching, McGill hav- ing defeated the Montreals in the first match and has won two additional games as well. Mr. Terry is appar- ently batting well, leading the score in two out of the three matches. THE NEWS.ltEeoRD will be pleased to hear towards the end of the season that his wins have left his losses away out of sight. 1l Read Literally. Our worthy citizen, Manager Brewer, of Molson's Bank, is not entirely of the opinion that odd phrasing is any more common in English newspapers than in the press this side the pond and rather took exception to Mr. Agnew's communication in last week's NEWS - RECORD under the caption :—'Curious- ly Worded Advertisements." "Why" said he "hero is a paragraph taken from the current issue which is just as funny as those given :—'The two last stained glass windows have been ad- ded to St. Peter's. One represents St. Anthony of Padua and St. Michael the Archangel presented to St. Peter's through the efforts of Mrs. McCarthy and Mrs. Hogan."' Nothing Takes the Place of the Home Paper. A well-known writer says :—Only hose who have lived in a'stnall town can realize the power and fascination of the home paper. It occupies a place that no other publication can fill. The home newspaper conies first always. Everybody looks through every column to see if his or her name is in the paper. Each bit of local gossip is read and dis- cussed. Sometimes it is a birth, some- times a death, sometimes a marriage. No matter what it is, every name men- tioned is familiar to all, and for this one reason alone the home paper is prized above and beyond anything the "literary fellow" can produce. You should always make it a point to pay for it first. Did He Use the Working End? George F. Oakes can be particular at times and has become supersensitive as to which end of the heavy oak whip he used on a sixty-four year old man Saturday week. He will be placated, it would appear, and consider his honor quite appeased if the.dear public is as- sured that he only used the working end. At least we would infer as much from his threatening manner while in , our office on Thursday after- noon last when he celled to get a copy of THIS NEWS -RECORD. Pre- sumably he wants to frame its report of his neighborly and brother-in-lawly treatment of John Baker. A frequent perusal of that self -same article will not do him a bit of harm, though whether or not he will profit by ib is altogether another question. S.O.B. Church Parade. Sheffield Lodge Sons of England, w ith delegations from sister lodges at Londesboro, Goderich and Exeter, celebrated Her Majesty's Birthday by attending divine eerviee at the Ontario St. Methodist church on Sunday morn- ing. The esteemed pastor, Rev. B. Clement, preached very appropriately from I Cor. chap. 6, verse 13, clause reading—"Quit you like men," where- in he showed the highest type of man- hood was chrietianity and how much we glory in the nation which owns that the keystone of her greatness is the "Holy Bible." The music and singing of the choir suitably chosen for the occasion was fully appreciated by the visibore. The service concluded by singing the National Anthem. Re- turning to the lodge room, it was unanimously resolved that the thanks --most hearty thanks—of the Sons of England, be hereby tendered, to the Rev. Mr. Clement for the eloquent and impressive sermon, to the choir for their excellent music and singing on this occasion and to the officials of the church for their hospitality. Clinton—Bayfield Carryall. Mr. J. C. Miller, of the Hotel Claren- don, started his carryall running to Bayfield yesterday and it is now mak- ing daily trips. Leaving the Clarendon at 7.30 each evening, it returns to the Hub next morning. On Sunday it will make an additional trip, as, according to the time table, it will leave the Clar- endon at 10 o'clock a,rn and return about sundown. The I.O.O. T's Pushing Ahead. The Good Tempters are pushing ahead and are more enthusiastic and determined to be a force in the land for Temperance and right. An excel- lent programme was rendered at the ass meeting. It was as follows :— Opening chorus—"There is- Sun- shine;" Solo—Miss 011ie Lsbie; Readings —Miss M. Washington and Miss H. Dodd ; Duet—Miss C. Coultes and Mr. D. Smith. The committee is prepar- ing an excellent programme for the summer term. All who wish to unite with the lodge are cordially invited. Shipments of Cattle. Shipments of cattle this week are rather heavier than usual. Sid. Smith cent two carloads to Toronto on Mon - the four carloads he has purchased day. Yesterday he shipped two of from Mr. Jas. Fain—the other two go on Saturday—to the Old Country mar- ket. This cleans out Mr. Fair's stables. Mr. Forrester shipped three carloads to the same destination and Mr. John Middleton one, The export cattle were prime, as needs be, and will help con- vince the "blawsted Britisher" that juet as toothsome beef can be raised in Huron as on the meadows of middle England. Rattenbury League Visits Constance. A goodly representation of Ratton- bury St. League paid the Constance Leaguers a friendly visit on Tuesday evening last and report one of the most enjoyable evenings ever spent. "The Epworth League Locomotive" was given by the visiting League in their usual good style and was received with marked appreciation by all present. The Locomotive made such good head- way that, at the close of its journey, it rolled into a very haven of good things prepared by the members of the Constance League.. .• They are to -be congratulated on then' ability -to enter- tain visiting Leagues. No Candidate After Al,'. There were wheels within wheels at the Liberal Convention held at Dun- gannon Tuesday and no nomination after all to the manifest disapointment of the Hub's delegates who had been vigorously drummed up and went to plump for their choice to the end. All of"this means that Mr. Cameron pur- poses having his say in the candidacy and if M. G. is not the choice, than somebody almost equally acceptable. Mr. Proudfoot was elected President, defeating Mr. McGillicuddy. . R. Holmes is 1st Vice -President, M. Dal- ton 2nd, J. Young 3rd, while W. Coats fills the double office of Sec.-Treae., with J. Wiseman as auditor. Mr. Cameron did not attend, but sent a note explaining that a wedding in the family the following day necessitated his remaining at home to receive his guests. This was an additional disap- pointment as many expected, his fare- well oration and a number of his old comrades -in -arms bad gathered for no other purpose. The attendance of delegates was large and the usual party resolutions adopted. Little Locals. Additional Local News on page four. Town Council meeting next Monday night, Mr. J. T.
