DEATR8.—Chas.W. Higgins, brother
of Mrs Job Cooper, died suddenly at
Rat Portage, on Saturday. He was
the youngest son of the late W. Hig-
gins, and had been employed on the
x Z, railroad. He was aged 24 years. His
brother John. who is an R. R. conduc-
tor, wired the friends that the remains
'"`F "• would be accompanied to Clinton, for
interment, and Mr James Higgins, of
Sarnia, has been here three days wait-
ing their arrival, but so far there is no
word of them. Death was the result
of a tumor, for which he had undergone
'an operation in the hospital.
Word was received here on Tuesday
that Jos. W. Riter, of Sault Ste Marie,
had been, found dead in bed. the pi e-
sumptton being.that he had been dead
for a day or two. When Mrs Riter,
who was visiting her mother here, re-
" carved the sad intelligence, the shock
waes•too much for her, and a doctor
had to be called to her assistance. Mr
Riter was well known here, having
been for some years in the liquor busi-
ness, and was a good-hearted, genial
fellow, who had many friends, particu-
larly generous to those who Lound it
necessary to solicit assistance. He was
i
only 34 years of age and leaves two
children. He carried an insurance of
• $2000 on his life, and had considerable
'property in Manitoba, in addition to
is personal property. Mrs Riter, ac-
companied by her brother, J, C. Miller,
left at once for the Soo, the interment
to take place on their arrival.
It was apainful surprise to our towns-
people, on Wednesday, to learn of the
death'of Mrs Helyar, wife of Mr Chas.
Helyar, sr. Her death was quite un-
expected, as she was as well as usual
until five o'clock Sunday afternoon,
when she was suddenly stricken with
apoplexy, which rendered her uncon-
eelous, and thus she remained until
elite gi(Idtl 7i:iud j)eadbfut " itssed'
,away about nine o'cloekTuesday night.
She leaves a family of four—three
daughters and one son. She was born
in Armagh, Ireland, and came to Can-
ada when quite young, living for some
•years in Hamilton, where she was
married; came from Hamilton to Clin-
ton when it was quite a small village.
She was the youngest of a family of
eleven, all of whom have gone before
her. She was a quiet, unobtrusive
woman, and esteemed by all who had
her .aNuainfan ce. The funeral services
yesterday afternoon were condm,ted
by Mr Major, of Goderich, she being a
;Member of the Brethren society.
Mrs. Brown, widow of the late James
• Brown, passed away at the family resi-
dence, Bellevue Farm, Huron road,
Hullett, on Wednesday evening, at the
age of about 79 years. She has been in
delicate health for some time, with
dropsy and heart trouble, anti has been

0017n011 NOTES.—A marriage sere.
11JOnY took place in the Presbyterian
Cl ittch itt Seaforth on Tuesday, This
was the first event of this kind that
has ever taken place in the church.
No marriage ceremony has yet taken
place in Willis Presbyterian Church;
here's a chance for some of the unmar-
ried g emb rs to distinguish themselves
and give it the standing it lacks....
Rev J‘ A. McDonald, of Varna, occu-
pied the pulpit of Willis Church Sun-
day ...Sacramental services will be
held in the Methodist Churches in
Clinton on Sunday, Aug. 1; in the Rat-
tenbury St. Church services will com-
mence at the usual hour, 11 o'clock,tbe
love feast taking the place of the morn-
ing service, followed by thesacrarnent;
in the Ontario S. Church it is prob-
able the service will be the same....
The Presbyterian Sabbath School,Sea-
forth, starts at 9.30 a.m. instead of in
theafternoon as formerly; this arrange-
ment will continue until the end of
August...: St. Paul's Sunday School
Clinton, has been holding its servicts
at 9 a. w. on Sunday for several weeks
past; it is a good idea, while the hot
weather lasts.... Just see what it is to
have an uncommon name; the London
papers have been alluding to the ppopre-
iar pastor of North St. church, (lode -
rich, as "Rev J. Age.". .The official
hoard of Ontario St. Methodist Church
has decided to improve the parsonage
to the extent of about $300; the sum of
$700 has also been allotted for the pur-
chase of a pipe organ ....The Sunday
Schools of Exeter, Hensel!, Kippen and
Brucefield hadan excursion toCloderich
on Tuesday, by special train; a large
crowd was on hoard. , ..The pastor and
workers of the Baptist church will con-
duct open air service Sunday evening
at 8.10 on the market square.... The
picnic of Ontario street Sabbath School
was held at Bayfield on Tuesday, and
had an enjoyable time, no rain falling
there.. • •Etat tenbury street Methodist
Sabbath school picniced at Elliott's
grove, on Wednesday, and also had a
good time, but the rain broke it up a
little earlier than intended.. „The The next
meeting of the W. C. T. U. will be held
at the home of Miss White, next Wed-
nesday afternoon ....The meeting of
the Ontario street league was both in-
teresting and instructive. The meeting
ens in charge of the new president An
address was given by the Ray. Mr Cle-
ment on the "Aims of the Epworth
League" and was vary beniticial in giv-
ing leaguers broader opportunities as
workers for Christ. The meeting for
next Monday evening will be in charge
of the missionary department. The
Salvation Army will hold a lawn social
on the grounds of J. Brown (opposite
Searle's) on Tuesday evening next.—
LOCAL NOTES.—William Harland is
erecting a balcony above his verandah,
where he calculates to -take --solid- com-
fort during the het weather. The Clin-
ton band has been engaged to accom-
pany the Masonic Excursion to Port
Stanley on Aug. 5th. Mr Geo. Levis
has just sold a large Brantford power -
mill to Robert Gibbings, Huron road,
east; he intends to use it in pumping
water from a 270 foot well recently drill-
ed for him by Mr. Peterson. Ueorgge
Cook, who had the contract for build-
ing stonework beneath Mr Thos. Hollo-
way's house, has completed the work
and has made an excellent job of it.
Mr W. Weir bad one hundred acres of
hay,
and he estimates
that he has near-
ly r-
1 300 tons therefrom; MrForrester as
some which be thinks yielded nearly 4
tons to the acre. For the half-year
ending June 30, there were recorded
with W. Coats, registrar, 27 births, 14
marriages, and 15 deaths. Mrs Robt.
Coats, who has been seriously ill, is im-
proving. Frank Evans has bought the
bill posting iprivileges of the town fr om
B. Webb, jr. Messrs J. Johnston, W.
Jackson, Tisdall and Forrester, repre-
senting 1 the Bowling Club, were this
week playing in the tournament at
Seaforth. The statement in the News -
Record that the Stanley committee re-
quested Mr Linsley to come from Chic-
ago and confer with it regarding his
lot is absolutely untrue: the committee
were'informed by Mr Dinsley's friends
that be would be over here early in
July, and postponed their meeting for
his convenience. The Brussels Post
has entered upon its 25th year of ex-
istence; all that is necessary to say is
that the Post retains the sprightliness
of youth, the energy of developed man-
hood and the wisdom of old age. Strat-
ford and Clinton play a lacrosse match
here to -morrow, Saturday. S.S. Coop-
er, who had the contract for the ex-
tensive improvements to the Doherty
Organ Factory, completed his work on
Wednesday; the contract called for
the work being done by August 1st, so
that be has several days to his credit.
During the electric storm on Monday
nearly all the telephones in town were
burnt out; the system was practically
demoralized, and an employee of the
company is here fitting the instruments
up; the barn of Malcolm McEwen, 2nd
con. of Stanley, was struck by light-
ning, and slightly damaged; the house
of Jas. VanEgmond, gravel road, Hul-
lett, was struck and the chimney de-
stroyed; quite a lot of telegraph poles
on the Seaforth road are also shivered.
People who use the postal box at the
railroad station, should know that pa-
pers, etc. placed :an top of the box are
not regarded by the postal clerks as
being mailed; they are so regarded .in
tire'elties,`but the railroad cllerrkks say
their instructions are to leave them
alone. W.Jackson has been appointed
agent for the boats of the Northwest
Transportation Co. H. Foster has
been taking a number of views for the
illustrated issue of the London News;
if the printing is anything like as good
as the photographing, the issue will be
a corker. A medicine fakir found a
number of purchasers for his remedy,
on Wednesday; why not patronize. the
local druggists, who invariably offer
more reliable medicinesthan these do.
The cyclists anticipate a good turn out
to the lawn social at Holmesville, on
the evening of the 30th, if it don't rain.
We are compelled to omit considerable
this week and also to encroach on the
spece of our advertisers to accommo-
date our reading for one week.
It was hardly opportune
Amusing things sometimes occur in
churches as well as elsewhere. The pas-
tor of Hattenhnry St. church was mak-
ing the customary announcements last,
Sunday, when one of the most faithful
members, noted for his hearty respon-
ses, caused a smile to spread over many
faces by a response that came at a mo-
ment when no one expected it.
"Cur quarterly services will be held
two weeks from to-day,"said the pastor
"Praise the Lord," responded this
good brother.
"Instead of the usual lnvefeastat ten
o'clock," con tinned the preach er, 'bur
service will commence at 11 o'clock,and
we'll not have any sermon."
"Praise the Lord" was again the very
hearty response, end it was a minute
before the minister recovered himself.

•
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
TWICE a year, at the wind up of each season, we have a Bargain Day when the
I balance of the seaside's stock is cleared out at prices that are an absolute sav-
ing of money for those who buy. Shrewd buyers take advantage of these semi-
annual sales and are money ahead by doing so. This season's Bargain Day will
he SATURDAY, JULY 24th, when summer stocks of all kinds will be
placed on sale at prices that will quickly clear the counters and empty shelves of summery
stuffs. With the end of the month comes stock -taking and .we want as much cash and as
little Dry Goods as is possible by that date.
We're going to make it worth your while driving miles to this sale. The success of our
bargain days has been phenomenal and this won't be behind it's predecessors if we can help it.

of a local and expert adsmith, was the one which p—.,
peared in this space last week. Yet we ha( bl� s ;r

price and value did. This is our strong inducement—

We show you some exceptional ones this week, in our
south window. Odds and ends of stock, the prices of
which in most cases are greatly reduced. If there is
anything in the assortment you can use, we think the
