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. Result of Promotion Examinations.

Captain Red- 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. Wedded In Toronto. The following is Toronto Saturday Night's account of the wedding of Mr. Ogle Cooper and Miss Nettie Clark The marriage of Mr. Ogle Cooper, of Clinton and Miss Nettie Clark, sister of Mr. Jos. T.

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. Lillie Locals. The Sarnia excursion last Saturday was well attended. The bowlers have a match on hand in London to -morrow. The Clinton -Bayfield Carryall is being well patronized. Sid Smith shipped four carloads of cattle to Toronto yesterday. J. B. Ruirrball's cocker spaniel was poisoned yesterday afternoon.

Bert Dayment and Addie Cook have bought the celebrated stock of White Wyandottes from F. W. Gilroy. A twenty-four hoprs copyright would be a good thing for THE NEWS -RECORD though rather hard on so-called Fri- day papers. The rural schools close to -day, not to open until the middle of August, while the town schools will have a fortnight longer vacation, Rev. Mr. Millyard will next Sunday a. in. preach a special sermon, having in view that it is the first Sunday in the Methodist pastoral year. • Seale & Hoover placed a fi ne monu- ment, the gates ajar design, in Mait- land cemetery, Seaforth, the other day.
