WILLIS Caurtc 3.—Last Sunday the
pulpit was occupied by B. Ketchen, of
ll:nox College, who will do the work
while the pastor is on vae.ition. The
congregation was highly pleased with
the discourses; Mr Ketches has a clear
delivery and this with his sound ser-
mons be will be one of the leading men
in the Preabyterien pulpit. At the
evening service the solo "Hear Thou,
0 Israel" by Miss Graham, of St•Thom-
as (the guest of Mi s R P. Reekie) was
excellently given and appreciated. At
the Endeavor on Monday evening the
topic "Gaining by l -ing" was token by
Mies H. McKenzie and Miss Zada Mc-
Rae favored with a solo; Miss Mary
Matheson presided. Miss Lennie Ir.

It is said that Mr Dryden cannot
hold his office of Minister ofTAgricul-
ture, and also an investment in a Da-
kota ranch, ar.dmust give up one cr
the other. The Tory papers naturally
fall in, With the suggestion that : he
should abandon the office, while the
Stratfor d Beacom would prefer to'. see
him abandonthe ranch. As Mr Dry-

those who think a choice - should be
made will tollow the light oftheBeacon.

Some of the Liberal paperr are treat-
ing this matter as if it were a joke, but
we want to tell them it will he no joke;
, if the facts are as alleged. The NEW
ERA happens to be one of the papers
that would like to see, not only Mr
ry en remain in the Cabinet, but it
would also like to see the whole Cabin-
etremain rnoffree. The way to ac-
complish thio is not by injudicious ac-
tion ofanykind. The
Ontario Govern•
trent has a good record, and if the
campaign could be fought on that is-
sue alone, there would be no doubt
whatever as to the result, because the
government would be handsomely sus-
tained. But when the the Opposition

BUSY BUILDERS.—Builders and con-
tractors are very busy at present , and
hardly know which way ` to turn,
Messrs McKenzie, Cooper and Stevens,
builders, all are hustling with' work,
while stone•masous and brick -layers,
are equ-illy driven. Hiram. Hill went
to Srratford on Friday, to secure ad-
ditional help ;- Thos. Walker finds the
days too short for the work on hand,
while Dan Prior has completed the
brick work of nine contracts some of
them' larger houses— in the last twelve
weeks. Evidently times are good. -
A CONCERT COURSE. -.Arrangements
are being made to run an entertain-
ment course in Clinton the comingsea-
son, The concerts will be ,superior to
those previously given, judging from -
those' offered and the bestwill be select-
ed a few being The Swedish Ladies'
Quartette, the Boston Dramatic Co,.
the Mozart Symphony club, the, Zodlers
Concert Co:, and such like. The list of
those to be ;riven will be decided .upon.
and a subscribers' . list opened. The
manager,' who takes hold of the course
guarantees that the numbers given
supercedeany previous courses. Par-
ticulars:will be given later on.
IT TAKES POWER.—The Electric
Light Uo has purchased from E. Leon-
ard & Sons, of London, one of their
latest type c•t boiler. It will he made
with the bottom all in one sheet—no
seams. ' As it is 73 inches in diameter
and 16 feet long, this will take a large.
sheet of.steel. it will be 7-16'inches
thick so as to stand high pressure of
steam and will develop over 125 H. P.
This boiler will replace one of those
now installed, which is being taken:out,
and will be large enough to do all the
work at present while the 80 H P
boiler now in use will be kept as a re-
serve. The Company expect, if the
present rate ofincreaee in lighting is
kept up, that both; boilers will be re-
guired_.._veiy_: coon,_ Leonard •& Sons
havepromised to have the : new boiler
there in from 2 to 3 weeks•so as to ready
for the dark fall weather.
THE MARKETS.—All small fruit has
gone out of the market and apples and
such like have started to come in. Ap-
ples are considered to be scarce and
quoted at from 40c to 50c'per bag;
peaches are not plentiful enough and
prices will probably be about IOc per
basket until the supply in larger. To-
matoes will go at about 10c per lb to
begin with, but will soon drop. New
potatoez{axre mote in supply and the
priceiiae lowered to $1 and ,e1.25 per
bushel. In dairy produce there ie no
advance in price, although the supply
of eggs is more plentiful; the rulings
for butter are from 133 to 15c according
to quality, and eggs from 9c to 10c; th
shipment by Cantelon Bros. being_
Hoge
are still at the top notch price of 7c.
but tha buyers find them scarce for
shipment. Buffalo ad vices say that the
price for lambs is likely to rule low,

SUCOESSFUL SUNDY80HOOL.1'IONIC,— •
The most successful picnic that it has
ever been the privilege of St Paul's
Sunday School to hold was the 'one on
Wednesday to Bayfield. The weather
wee all that could have been desired,
and which brought out a large num-
ber of scholars as well as parents and
other members of the congregation
with their friends. The rigs began to
leave here at 8,30 and all the liveries
in town were taxed to their utmost to
carry them over and attend to the
other work of the day, carriages wag-
gonette and band waggons being uaed
to convey them. Two tables of 73 each
besides a large number of campers in
the evening, sat down twice to satisfy
the inner man with an abundance of
the good things provided by the Sun-
day School friends. A large number
of raceb.were run off for which about
25 beautiful prizes were given, along
with bananes and candy. The picnic-
ers arrived home aboutten in the
evening all feeliege that the most en-
joyable day ever sp' tat Bayfield was
fully realized.
THE WALK TO THE CEMETERY,—
During the summer particularly a
great many people walk out to- the
cemetery, the majority of them ladies,
and they do it at considerable incon-
venience and with very little comfort
the gravel. walk,built some years ago,
has almostdisappeared, while for three
quarters of the distance, there is not
a particle of shade or . shelter. Now,
as the cemetery will be an ever-in-
creasing place of interest -find- attrac
tion,, somethinw should be done to
secure a pet manent:walk thereto, and
also to make the. walk•pleasant. 'It
would not cost much to replant shade
'trees, and protect them by boxes ;.
those put in before were not protected,
and cattle- soon injured or, dietrayed
them. In a few •years,.lif looked after,
these would improve the walk very
much.. The people of town are not so
sordid hut that they are willing to
expend money for this purpose, and.
the council can undertake this kind of
work, with the knowledge that the
people apnrove'ef it. The Cemetery
itself looks nice, clean and well kept,
teflecting:credit on the: caretaker, Mr
Reynolds, and as lot holders take an
interest therein, the council can easily
make the work more agreeable.
To THE WEST.—As was expected the
cheap excursion to: the north west from
this part on Tuesday morning : was a
big one and 'likely • one of the larg-
est there ever has been from Ontario.
A great demand was asked for farm
laborers to assist in the harvest and for
this reason the C. P. R. gave a cheap
rate of $10 to Moosejaw,Eetevan, York -
ton -or Cowan from this section : on
August 5th and from other parte on .
the two following days. On Monday
from Toronto the C. P. R. carried 1600
for western points and on Tuesday 3000
left the Union Depot while the ' 0- " T.
R. sent out specials with 2500 passen-
gers,the train from Palmerston district
having about 700. Railroad officials say
that never before in the, history of the
road were so many people handled in so -
few days. Mr Jackson, ..the local
'agent of the U. P. R;, says it was the
largest number of tickets he has ever
sold for, one excurson and not onebe-
ing sought after ;.he is a popular agent
and one well known among ticket
agents of the Dominion. Among his
bookings for this excursion for western
points were :—H, Ross and W. Macin-
