Summerhill Cheese Sold at 7C A Pupil of Ayes McHardy's.
The May make and half of June of
the Summerhill cheese factory was
shipped yesterday, Mr. G. J. Stewart,
secretary and salesman, having made
a sale at seven cents for the colored
article. This is considerably less than
that during a similiar period of '97, but
the prospects ahead seem brighter.
Darden Party at Mr. John Beacom's.
A garden party will be held on the
grounds of Mr. John Beacom, of Gode-
rich township, on the evening of Tues-
day next. It will be under the aus-
pices of Middleton's church and such
elaborate preparations are being made
as cannot fail to ensure its success.
Among those who will contribute to
the programme are :—Miss Williams,
Zurich ; Mrs. J. B. Hoover, Clinton ;
Miss Murdoch and Mr. Murdoch, Hen-
sall ; Captain Robson, Ilderton ; Mr.
Fred Porte, Lunen.
D. McNaughton Does West to Wed.
Mr. D. McNaughton, son of Mrs.
McNaughton, of town and well-known
as one of the most progressive and
prosperous young farmers in the good
old township of Stanley, left Tuesday
for Moosejaw, Assa„ where in the
course of some ten days he will be
joined in matrimony's holy bonds to
Miss Mary Moffat, formerly of Bruce -
field, where she has many warm
friends. It's a little early to extend
congratulations, but TRE NEws-RE-
CORD will be among 'the first and
heartiest upon the home -coming of Mr.
McNaughton and bride.
Students' Forward Movement.
The "Students' Forward Movement",
so named because the pushers are
students, is a movement within the
Methodist church which bas for its
object the promotion of interest in the
work of Missions in the Foreign Field.
Mr. Evans, of Wesley College,
Winnipeg, is addressing the Ep-
orth Leagues of the Goderich
District on behalf of this good cause
and will be with the Rattenbury St.
League next Monday evening and
Ontario St. the following p.m. It is
proposed that the twenty-three
Leagues in the District takes upon
themselves the support of a Missionary.
The young people of Rattenbury
League alone will agree to contribute
$50 towards the ,requisite amount.
Captain Sheppard is Secretary -Treasurer.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
prize list of the Portage •la Prairie,
Man., Summer Fair of which our former
townsman, Captain W. Sheppard, is
secretary -treasurer. To a down eas-
ter it seems rather odd to have these
Fairs in the dog days, but upon the
prairies there is no other time so suit-
able. The early date though prevents
much of an exhibit of roots and vege-
tables while the grain is of the previous
season's growth, so that the chief in-
terest centers in- the live stock and
dairy produce. This Portage Fair
compares favorably with the best
in Ontario in, live stock, partic-
ularly, and to the visitor it
forms a whole volume of the
progress of the Province. Not a little
of its success is due to the manage-
ment of Captain Sheppard, who in all
things partaining to Manitoba takes
a very active interest.

burne, late of the Marine Band, will be
present and give a number of his best
baritone solos, a pretty drill will be
given by a number of little girls, while
Captain Keeler will render several of his
choicest cornet solos. There ought to
be a large attendance to help the Band
along.
Fraternal Visit to Ooderich.
A number of the Masonic, brethren
went up to Goderich on Sunday to
attend divine worship with Maitland
Lodge of that place. The brethren
paraded at 11 o'clock in the morning
to St. George's church, and were ad-
dressed by the Rev. Bro. Turnbull, of
Goderich. The craft were highly
pleased with the discourse of the Bro-
ther, and the fraternal greeting, ex-
tended by the Goderich brethren to
the visitors.
Does to Century Church, Hamilton.
For so young a man, the services of
Rev. J.E.J. Millyard, son of the pastor
of Rattenbury St. Methodist church,
are in great request. Last, Sunday he
preached in Seaforth and next week
leaves for Hamilton where he will sup-
ply the pulpit of Century church for July
and August, while during September
he will relieve Rev. Mr. Scott, of Ayl-
mer. By that time the long vacation
will he over and he will enter Victoria
College. Those who know the young
man predict for hitu a bright future.
Cantelon B Wallis Ship Porkers..
Cantelon & Wallis shipped their
usual weekly double-decker of hogs on
Monday and will send another a week
hence. They are now paying $5 per
cwt. Monday's load cost them over
$1300. Their trade during the past
season has shown a very marked in-
crease and extends over a radius of
seventeen miles. During the month of
March they bought over 1200 hogs
at an aggregate cost, of $10,000. It
helps the business of the Hub to, have
a firm like C. & W. centralized here.

A Good Report.
A comprehensive report of the g. S.
and C. E. Convention held in Wing-
hamlastweek appears on pages four and
five. It is very much the best write up
we have yet Been and was prepared es-
pecially for THE NEWS -RECORD.
ijev. 7'. Murdoch Has Accepted.
Rev. Mr. Pocock preached his fare-
well sermons as pastor of the Baptist
church here Sunday, though he may
fill the pulpit occasionally . until
August, when Rev. T. Murdoch, of
Teeswater, who has accepted the call
extended him, will begin his pastorate.
Accident at the Foundry.
There was an accident down at the
foundry Tuesday morning, just about
as the machinery was to be put into
operation, the boiler sinking a matter
of six inches or more owing to the col-
lapse of the standard supporting it.
Steam bad to be at once blown off.
The repairs have since been made.
Compliments for The News -Record.
Mr. Thos. E. Oliver, of Toronto, in
renewing his sub says THE NEWS -RE-
CORD has very much improved under
its present management and that he is
very well satisfied with it. Mr. Me
Clinchey, of Blake, in calling in with
his renewal the other day was of the
same opinion and is greatly pleased
with its present make-up, style and
contents.
The Baptist Picnic.
The Baptist S. S. picnic held in Bay-.
field Tuesday was a successful one, the
weather, that prime consideration,
beingeust about right, neither too hot
nor too cold, which is more than could
be said of the temperature at the Hub
the sameafternoon. The little ones and
bigger ones, too, amused themselves
in orthodox picnic style and report
having enjoyed themselves immense-
ly.
A Persian Methodist
A Persian, who has been attending
Victoria College, Toronto, preparing
himself for Missionary work in the
rather sterile soil of his native land,
will occupy the pulpit of Ontario St.
church next Sunday morning and the
sister church in the evening. Mr.
Yousseff, we give no guarantee for
the orthography, will probably not
object to good collections as help from
home is not prodigal and an education -
costs money.
1. O., a, T. Meeting.
A very pleasant social evening was
spent in the Good Templar's hall last
Friday evening. An excellent report
was given by Bro. Farnham, who was
the delegate to Grand Lodge held at
Peterboro. Delegates were appointed
to attendthe plebiscite meeting held
in Dungannon Tuesday last. An in
teresting programme was rendered
after which refreshments were served,
all seemingly enjoying themselves.
There will be no meeting next Friday.
Cantelon Bros. Ship Butter.
Cantelon Bros. have made another.
shipment of butter. This time it is a
5,C00 pound consignment, making over
13,000 pounds which they have sent to
Eastern markets within a few weeks.
The firm has a splendid reputation
among the dealers in the lower pro-
vinces so experience but little diffi-
culty in making sales. In these days
of keen competition it is the business
men who are over and above board
who are making the greatest head-
way.
The Chief an Export Broder.
Chief Wheatley took the corporation
grader down to the 2nd concession of
Stanley Friday afternoon and that p.
m. graded one -hundred and forty yards
of roadway for Mr. Alex. Innis who
was thoroughly satisfied with the
amount of work done and the good job
made of it. He further said as com-
pared with their municipal machine it
was a rase of four to one; that is Joe
can do four times as much work in a
given time as the Stanley grader
and also do it better.
Another Stretch of Oranolithlc Walk.
The street committee has acted with
commendable promptitude in going
ahead with the construction bf a gran-
olithic walk in front of the market
square, as authorized by the Council at
its last meeting. This particular
walk will be only seven feet wide and
will be built by Mr. Jas. Howe, who has
taken the contract at ten cents per
square yard. This is less than is being
paid in other places and on a large
scale, but there is a certain amount of
excavating -which Mr. Howe bas not
had to do whish makes the lower
figure not so much cheaper as it would
appear. The stones and sand in the
old walk may be utilized in
building new crossings. There
has been considerable objection to up
with the, old and in With the new, but
once the granolithie is laid the citizens
will wonder why they endured the
eobbleM so long, or we are much mis-
taken.
