Killed.
The victim of the following accident
was a relative by marriage of Mr.
John Kerr of town. Mr. Fenton Fitz-
gerald, a highly respected and pro.
minent farmer of London township,
was instantly killed at his home on
Friday, by falling off a milk stand. It
appears he went up on top of the milk
stand to empty a can of milk, and
when corning down, slipped and fell,
breaking his neck. He was one of
the oldest residents of the township.
Ill Again.

Merrifield is again troubled with in-
flammatory rheumatism, and has been
obliged to go to Preston mineral
springs in the hope of receiving benefit
from the treatment there. After the
prolonged illness of last spring, to be
again laid off work is indeed trying.

by the system of treatment he is now
under. At last accounts he was im-
proving.

Sudden Death.
The sudden demise of Dr. J. S. Ten-
nant of Lueknow on Thursday last
caused a deep gloom to fall upon the
community in which he had lived and
practised so long. He was taken se.
verely ill with an attack of Canadian
cholera on the previous afternoon, and

into unconsciousness and never rallied.

Wedding.
g,
A happy event took pisco at the rosi•
donee of Mr. Chris. Jobb, ninth line,
Turnberry, ou Wednesday of this week,
when Miss Lizzie Hastings, sister of
Mrs. Jobb, was united in marriage to
Thomas Martin of the same township,
Rev. W. J, West, B. A., performed the
marriage ceremony. The bride was
prettily attired in pearl grey poplin,
trimmed with grey to match and silk
applique. She carried a beautiful bou-
quet of cream roses and maiden -hair
ferns,and looked charming under the
floral arch, attended by her pretty little
niece, Ethel Hastings, as lower girl.
After the ceremony the gnawe partook
of a sumptuous repast from the heavily -
laden tables in the dining room. The
bride was the recipient of many beauti-
ful and useful gifts from her many
friends, among which were several
cheques from friends in a distance. Mr.
and Mrs. Martin have the best wishes of
a largo circle of friends. They will re-
side on the ninth line.
Large Meteor.
An unusually large and wonderfully
bright meteor was seen by a number
of residents of this locality about a
quarter to six on Monday morning.
T, A. Calhoun saw it in all its beauty,
and describes it as being apparently as
large as a washtub, with a trail of
brightness behind it about twenty-five
rods in length. The glare appeared
like an immense electric light, and
after it had disappeared, there was an
unusual brightness in the sky for,
twenty minutes. There was no sound,
but during its passage a piece became
detached
and fell ,ll totv ia •
ds the earth,
losing its brilliancy as it fell. The
course of the meteor was north. To-
ronto and London daily papers report
the meteor to have been exceptionally
bright. the halo continuing from ten
to fifteen minutes after the meteor
had disappeared. It was a beautiful
sight.
Sad Drowning Accident.
The following report of a sad drown-
ing accident appeared in the daily
papers last week. It has a local refer-
ence, from the fact that the victims of
the accident are relatives of Mrs. Wm.
Cruicks'aank of Turnberry, Mr. Rob-
erts being her brother-in-law ;— -
Peterboro', Ont. Sept. 8—James M,
Roberts and his two sons, Edward and
Kenneth respectively 11 and 9 years,
were drowned in Ohernong Lake last
nigh'£, lkl"r.' •Roberts was attending
service at the Indian Reserve, and left
for home accompanied by his two sons
at 8.30 o'clock last night, Ile did not
reach home at a late hour, and a
searching party found bis canoe in the
lake. The bodies were found this
morning near the village shore, in six
feet of' water, The late Mr. Roberts,
was a son of the late Rev. Mr. Roberts
of Smith, and was one of the town-
ship's most prominent farmers, He

one son, and a daughter.

eye, ear, nose and throat. Eyes tested

Couldn't Stop It.
Mr. Copland of the Harriston Tri-
bune was in trouble last week. Four
years ago he bought the plant and
business for $4,500 (apparently a most
exorbitant price). He paid $1000 down
and $500 on each first of September
since, until,this year, when he paid
$200, and asked the party who held
the claim to wait a few weeks for the
balance ; this he refused to do, and
seized the plant. Mr, Copland took
immediate steps to continue his paper,
and, by the kind assistance of the Re-
view of the same `town, he got his pa-
per out as usual. Re has now secured
a new plant and let the did thing go to
"pi" if it wishes. Froin what we can
see of the transaction, Mr. Copland
was the victim of a mean squeeze, and
we shall be glad to see him emerge
from the ditilculty with a new plant.
The pity is, that he bas probably paid
in cash far more than the old plant
was worth, and now has to purchase a
new outfit; success, Tiro, Copland.

Kincardine. In This.
Friday's dailies had the following :—
Eighty days ago Karl L. Winters wa-
gered a box of cigars with a friend
that he would be married within 90
days. Time passed, and there was no
wedding. Now news has been receiv-
ed in Chicago that Winters has won
both a bride and the cigars, with ton
days to spare. But it took an elope-
ment to do it, The bride was .Miss
Maude Hadley, who for some time has
made her home with her sister, Mrs.
F. W. Beaver, 3622 Ellis avenue. She
is from Kincardine, Ontario. Winters
travels for the R. G. Gunning Com-

wealthy Louisville citizen. The couple
eloped on Sunday night, and were
married in Toledo, Ohio, on Monday.
Taw:, had known each other for a year
but the marriage was a surprise to
their friends.
Corn Harvesters. •
A delivery of corn harvesting ma-
chines has perhaps never been seen in
Winghani until Saturday last, when
Mr. John Campbell, agent for McCor-
mick machines, delivered a number of
these ingeniously -contrived machines.
The following are the purchasers
Thos. White, St. Helens ; Jno. Martin,
Whitechurch ; A. McNeil, Wingham ;
John McCallum, James Cunningham,
Wm. Johnston. W. McBurney, R.
Leishman, C. Campbell, A. Jamieson,
1. Beecroft, W. Robinson, S. Morton.
W. Fothergill, Jno Dunn, W m.• Helps,
Walter Scott, W.Wraith, J. Harrison,
of East• Wawanosh. The machines
were set up at Mr. Campbell's shop,
opposite the Broadway House, by F.
Partridge of Chatsworth and J. P.
Campbell of Town. The procession
then went up Josephine street as far
as the National hotel and back to the -
show -room, where Armstrong & Co.
took a photo of the turnout. This
'Kee, n-.
...t a

1. Ali, ?
the purchase of so many machines
shows that farmers are anxioneeto
avail themselves of labor-saving Mae'
chinery, and is also evidence of the
popularity of the McCormick mar
chines. These harvesters do their
work well, and frorp the fact that si-
lago is now extensively used as winter
fodder, they are almost a neeess"ity.
Mr. Campbell will willingly give to
intending purchasers, the naves of
those who have used the machine and
can testify to its usefulness.

Lost An Arm.
A distressingly sad occident happen•
ed on Friday last at a threshing on the
farm of Mr, Gaston near Whitechurch,
by which one young man lost his right
arni. Chas. Riutoul was assisting at
the threshing, and was standing near
the machine, when he noticed that one
of the belts was not on properly. He
put his hand over the belt, probably to
pull it off, when his hand was caught
in the pulley and he was wound
around until his shoulder was dislo-
cated and 'be muscles all torn oil' his
arm, Dr. hennedy was summoned
and found it necessary to amputate
the arm just below the shoulder. The
injured Ivan is married and bus a
small family depeudent upon him.
The accident is indeed a sad one, as it
will handicap him for the rest of his
life. At last accounts he was doing as
well as could be expected. Sincere
sympathy is expressed for him in the
calamity that has befallen him.
Serious Accident.
A serious accident happened on Fri-
day last to Mr. F. Hogg, tinsmith at
A. Young & Sons'. He was at work
in the workshop, and it is supposed
had occasion to use a step -ladder near
the opening in the floor through
which the hoist descended into the
cellar. As he was alone, it is trot
known just how the accident occurred,
but John Young, whi r•vas in the front
shop heard some nois; in the work-
shop, but as this is not unusual in a
tinsmith's shop, he thought nothing of
it. Some time after John thinks it
must have been fifteen minutes or
more, he had occasion to go into the
workshop, and was horrified to find
that Mr. Hogg had fallen through the
opening in the floor, and was lying in
the cellar with his feet tangled in the
ladder. Help was called and it was
found that the injured man had fallen
against the stone wall, and was lying
unconscious, in a pool of blood, for he
had bled profusely. Drs. Chisholm &
Chisholm were telephoned for and ar-
rived in a few minutes. The injured
man was conveyed to his home and
his wounds dressed. A cut several
inches long was found on the back of
his head, probably caused by his
falling againnper
'yea b
st .the stoe wall; s
'veririsesatvere also found eti' his
body and arms. He was- calla con-
scious for brief periods until Wednes-
day. He is now doing as well as could
be expected, and we hope will soon be
a ,round agate. •

CARD OF THANKS.
After twenty-nine years of business

less of responsibility, and step aside
from the activities of business life, and
let those younger in years take charge.
My sincere thanks are herewith ten-
•dered to all my customers, who for so
many years favored me with their
patronage, and with whom I have had
such pleasant business relations. The

After devotional exercises, the Rev.
G. M. Dunn read an interesting and
exhalrstrie paper on the subject—
" What are the purposes of the Young
People's Societies and are these being
measurably attained." The discussion
of this was ably opened by the Rev.
R. S. G. Anderson, who emphasized
that the special purpose of the Eodea-
vorer was the development of himself.
Mr. G. F. Blair, Brussels, followed
with an instructive and suggestive ad-
dress on "Are random topics or eon;,
truncus courses of randy the more ser-
viceable," Assuming ,that the special
feature of the Society: is educative, it
was successfully argued that the con-
tinuous course was by far the more
satisfactory. Rev. D. Perrie followe44
in support of the ideas advanced, and
emphasized the importance of thor-
ough knowledge of the Bible in order
to a right appreciation of religious in-
struction,
Rev. J. J. Hastie introduced the next
subject, "Necessary equipment for ser-
vice," and in a most interesting paper
pointed out the necessity of know-
ledge, enthusiasm and sympathy, as
essential to efficient service. The dis-
cussion was opened by the Rev. S. M.
Whaley, who pointed out that the
consciousness of a Divinecommission,
the sense of obligation and the recog-
nition of the fact that the work need-
ed to be done, would also conduce to
successful labour.
The last paper of the afternoon ses-
sion was presented by Mr. McLeod of
Brussels, who showed that the young
people might specifically serve the in-
terests of the congregation, socially,
educatively and spiritually.

POOR PUSSY.
THREE DAYS ON A LOWER TOWN 100$.
Of all the ills that ever fell
Upon a pussy's pate,
There's nothing half so hard to bear
As this, my awful fate.
You talk of Dreyfus in a pit,
Of Sanford in a well ;
You talk of St. Helena's isle,.
Where Cronje went to dwell,
But I would hail a lonely isle,.
Or on a dungeon rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll..
Across my peaceful breast,
Alone upon the roof I sit,
My heart bereft of mirth
For naught but sorrow reaches cats
So far above the earth.
No meat have I, or mice, or milk,
And hunger's power is strong ;
My body, once so fat and plumpe
is getting lean and long.
All night my coat is wet with dew ;
An echo mocks my cries ;
And all day long. with withered paws,
I wipe my weeping eyes.
How long 'twill last I cannot: tell,
It may be months or years ;•
For not the faintest sound of hope
Has fallen on my ears.
But hark ! I hear a sound below;
A ladder rises high!
My fainting heart is cheered with hope
That help is drawing nigh. •
But, oh 1 a man with elub appears;
My heart is all forlorn;
I take a desperate lean for life
To Billy Johnston's corn.
