The farmers of the township of
Ilowick have about completed the
harvest for this year. It is a most
bountiful harvest, and it will take
double the time to thresh it out com-
pared with some years, The early
peas are bad with insects, while the
late ones appear to be free. Howick
farmers have no reason to complain.
A large number of our citizens were
in Mildrnay on Monday, taking in the
Labor Day sports. They report a large
crowd and a grand day's sport. The
lacrosse match between Walkerton
and Harriston was a slugging match
throughout, resulting in favor of Har-
riston-3 to 2. The only thing to mar
the harmony of the day, so far as this
section of the country is concerned,
was the defeat of the Wroxeter Foot-
ball club by the Mildmay Stars ; it was
a pretty game, fought with a ven-
geance to do or die. Mildmay won—
one goal to nothing. This makes the
second defeat for the Champions hand-
ruouing, one at home and one abroad,
but it takes a good team to do the
trick.

and you will get the best on the market. Coats are made with
French facings which gives them a solid and lasting appearance --
Knickers: have double seats and double knees—double sewn seattts
and litliru s boxed in—nothing an the market to equal them, and the
price is no higher than what you pay for inferior goods. Once a
Customlrr, always a Customer, We aro the only Agents in town.
