A Busy Spot, The salt block is a very busy spot these days. For some time Mr, Spar - ling has not been able to fill nearly all the orders he has received, and has therefore found it necessary to double the capacity of the block by having two more pans put in. This will re- quire four more furnaces, When all the pans and furnaces are in opera- tion, the consumption of col will be between 50 and 60 tons a week, but the output of the block will be don - bled. Considerable expense has been incurred in making these improve- ments, but we feel sure it will return to Mr. Snarling in the form of largely increased business. About twenty men are now at work around the block. Another Clever Morris Boy. DEAR EDITon.—Among those pupils who are deserving of special mention this year for passing the recent En- trance examination, stands Willie Brydges, a pupil of the Stone School No. '7, Morris. Three years and a half ago he was in the First Book and this year he obtained his Entrance. When we remember that Willie lives two miles and a half from school and had often to contend with stormy days in both winter and summer, we cannot help but admire his perseverance, for no drift was too high nor no summer day too wet for him ; other pupils might fail to appear at school on ex- ceedingly stormy winter days but I was always sure of Willie, he never failed. Such perseverance I consider worthy of comment. Yours respect- fully—Nina J. Isbister. SUMMER SALE. — Slaughter Cash Sale of all Dress Fabrics. — Geo, E. King. Demise Of 011ie Jennings. 011ie Jennings of the Royal Hotel, Kincardine, received injuries by the explosion of a kerosene lamp on Mon- day night of last week, from which he never recovered ; his death taking place on Wednesday morning, at the age of 32 years. The oil went on his clothes and they caught fire. Mrs. Jennings came to the scene and managed to extinguish the lire, but in doing so burned her own arms and hands severely. Travellers and other inmates of the house were roused and they extinguished the fire in the bed clothing. The news cache as a shock to everybody except his medical at- tendants, who had but little hope of saving his life. The news cast the town into gloom, for the young man was popular with everybody. Only the evening before the accident, he was playing lacrosse in which he used to distinguish himself in many hot contests. He played with the Ath- letics of Toronto ten or twelve years a o and was for many years the star player of the Kincardine team. He took a keen interest in athletic sports of all kinds. He was generous in all his instincts and very attentive to the guests of the Royal Hotel, who will all deplore his tragic taking off. The deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved family. Dan. Norman, Missionary. The following is taken from the To- ronto World of July 26th. and will be of interest because Mr. Norman is to be one of the speakers at the Summer School, which is to be held in Wing - ham from August 6th to 12tih :—"Dan Norman is a missionary to the Japs. He has been eight years away from Canada, four of which he has spent in the Provinces of Shinslru, with head- quarters at Nagano. He is hone now on furlough, but spends his rest days telling good folk of the work yet to be done among the little islanders. Dan is a graduate of Victoria Uni- versity. of the class of 1896. He is young in years, but, old in the cause to which he has given his life. "Is there any money in it ?" he was asked, rather impertinently, but kindly. "No," was' his reply, in a tone that in- dicated surprise that such a question should be asked. "There are many places in which 1 would prefer to live rather than in Japan. Toronto is a beautiful city, and I Could be happy here, but my mission in life is in Japan, and I am content," And the is all wrapped up in the Ups. The work of the Methodist Church in Japan has been going on for a quarter of a century. The Christians in Japan number 207,000, counting church members, Protestants and Catholics, and childrenin the Sun- day Schools. The native Methodist Church has a membership of 24004 with fifty evangelists,elists pastors and missionaries, Dan Norman calls the Jails great organizers, and sees in them the builders of a .nighty empire in the east that will embrace all China. He appreciates the vagaries of the Japanese character, and does not disguise the fact that winning the Jafp to the tense is a tremendous task. Yet he does not falter, does not look back, and is content to spend his days in the work to wlhiell heknows ho has been called. To this enol, he has learned the Japanese language, and speaks it like a native. Dan Norman is a• big man," Old maids would be scarce and hard to find, Could they be made to see, How grace and beauty is combined By using Rocky Mountain Tea. Ask your druggist, Summer School Concert. In connection with the Winghani District Summer School, which. will be held in W fngMtt1 next week, a grand Concert will be given. The ses- slims of the School will be held in a large tent if the weather Is favorable, but the Concert will be held in the Methodist church, on the evening of Friday, Aug. 10th, An excellent ar- ray of talent has been secured for this event, and it is expected that a full house wilt warrant Lhe expenditure the committee has incurred in secur- ing the services of those who will take part, John Has A Goer. Monday's Mail and Empire contain- ed the following :— "Darkey Hal, the Canadian pacer that won the 2.14 pace at Windsor Saturday last, is a cheap - bought little trick, and is a daughter of Star Hal. A man in Canada owned her, and refused $1,000 for her last year, but things went wrong with him a,ncl the sheriff levied. At the time of the sale J. E. Swarts, of Wing - ham, was on deck, and his bid of $600 secured for him the mare, a sulky, a cart, a sleigh, harness, blankets, and even hopples, for no well-mannered Canadian pacer could leave its dear old hopples behind, even if walking out for a drink of water. She sold for $7 in pools of $85, and the Canadians made a big haul out of the pool box." Changes In Municipal Act. In Ontario only British subjects may hold any office, municipal or otherwise, which calls for the ad- ministering of an oath: This is a new departure, but is considered a trove in the right direction. The council also has power now to pass a by-law pro- hibiting the sale of peanuts, fruit, etc., on the streets from push -carts, and also to give a cut-rate on the license fee to a British subject as com- pared with the fee charged a foreign- er. Under the new law, the council may take proceedings to wipe out such pests as the tussock moth, and charge the cost as a Local improve- ment. The amendment to the act al- so provides for the putting down of pavements on the streets by a two- thirds vote of the council and without the consent of the property owners. Wingham Lost At Clinton. The Maple Leafs played a scheduled game at Clinton on Civic holiday, and for the second time this season met S 'a nas winningbya defeat,the ti, then score of 5-0. The game was not as one-sided as the score would indicate ; the Maple Leafs lost many chances by wild shooting. • Hard luck, and the defence being short two of the regular players, perhaps accounted for the de - teat. The first quarter was disastrous, as Clinton scored four goals before the boys seemed to realize that they were playing a game of lacrosse. The Clin- ton team presented a new line-up from the one played here, but the new men were good and played the garne for Clinton. "Billy" Johnston, as usual, played a stonewall game in goal, and both he and Sheppard play- ed a good hard gaino against their old team mates. If Clinton wins at Gode- rich on Aug. 8th, the District will be a three -cornered tie, but if Goderich wins, Clinton is clown and out. Sea - forth has two difficult protests•to fight to be in the tie and must win both. District No. 2 is always interesting, and we have yet to see some fast la- crosse before the championship is finally decided. CARPENTERS WANTED. — Apply at once to the Western Foundry Co., Limited. Made His Escape. On July the 10th, David Hastings, who is weak-minded, wandered from his home in Turnberry. Chief Van - Norman, however, located him in a few days, and it was thought_prudent to send him to St. Josephs Hospital, London, which was done. From there he again escaped, and the Lon- don Free Press of Monday, has the following :—"Eluding the special nurse who was detailed to watch him, David Hastings, of Wingham, dropped from a second -story window in St. Joseph's Hospital on Wednesday night in his night clothes, and has not been seen since. Hastings was suffering from nervous trouble, and was insane at the time when he got away. He had not been away ten minutes when his escape was noticed, and a search was instituted and he had evidently hid- den himself and was not found. His whereabouts now are a complete my- stery. No one in the neighborhood has seen him or aided his conceal- ment. Hospital employees searched froth 11.40 until 4 o'clock in the morn- ing, but in vain, and the county police were then notified. Hastings is 24 years of age, clean shaven, and of fair complexion. He was Clad only in his night robe when he escaped." Grant •Lockhart. A quiet but exceptionally pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lockhart, Catharine St., when their third daughter, Evelyn Louisa,vas wedded to Howard N. Grant of orth Toron- to, at high noon on Thursday, July 28th. The groom was conducted to his place by his brother, Walker J. Grant of Parkdale, while the bride was preceded by little Lillian Vollick, niece of the groom, strewing flowers in her path. Mr. T. Follhek of Niagara Falls, played. the wedding march. The ceremony was perform- ed by Rev, Newton I.1ill, uncle of the bride, assisted by Rev. D. Palle and , M. Whaley t Rev, Sle ' a of Brooksclale. Y The bride was gowned in champagne silk eolienne, with bridal veil and wreath, and carried white roses. The house was decorated with roses, ferns and varieties of flowers. An unusual feature of the occasion was that the linen on which the wedding breakfast was served, had been used at wed- dings for four successive generations and woven by thebride's great grand- mother. The bridal party, /teem*. panted by several of their friends, left, nal the afternoon via C. P. R. for their home in Toronto. The bride's travel- ling gown was dark blue broadcloth etoli suit, trimmed with Dresden silk and silken cord, with a waist of Lim- erick lace over white silk, The groom's gift to the stride was a eres- cent of pearls, The many friends of the young couple extend congratula- tions, Accident And Runaway. An accident happened to Mrs. Coup - land and her son, Percy, of Turnberry, on Saturday , as lasttheywere return- ing ing home from town. wVheu crossing the G. T. R, tracks the axle of the baggy broke, which caused a wheel to cotyle off, and at the same time fright- ening the horse. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out, and as Percy nursing a broken arm through an accident a couple of weeks ago, and only having one arm free, he lost con- trol of the animal, which made a dash for liberty, only, however, to be caught at McKenzie's hill, Mrs. Coup - land received a bad shaking up and was also severely bruised. This family has had a largo share of trouble inside the past few months, and'the heart- felt sympathy of neighbors and friends is extended to them. Western Fair.

Wingham and Kincardine played a game in the Lakeside Baseball League on Friday last, on the grounds of the Lakeside team. Our fans put up a good Baine and won by a score of 7-5 ; Dunlop and Armour were the Wing - ham battery On Monday of this week Wingham played a return game with Lucknow, and as a win was ne- cessary to put them in the running, Armour and his ball -tosser went de- termined to lower the colors of those Lucknow fans. Did they do it ? Well, just look at the score (14-6) and you won't wonder that the Lucknocvites were angry. The things our boys did. to Brisland McCowas a sorry` sight to see—one, two and three base hits piled up one after another, aided by errors on the part of Lucknow players, totalled 14 runs, while Luck - now could only score 3 until the ninth innings, when Dunlop eased upand allowed them to score 3 more. ing- ham battery—Dunlop and Armour. A win from Rincarcline here, on the 8th, will give the boys an even chance for the 'Cup. Death Of Robt. Clendenning. On Saturday morning, July 21.4, Robt. Clendenning received a second stroke of paralysis, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Wm, A. Rutledge, Huron road, where he had been living since last fall, when he received the first stroke. He passed away on Sun- day morning, aged. 76 years. Mr. Clendenning was a native of Gode- rich township and was very well known in the district. He was twice married, his second wife dying about 12 years ago in Dakota. For years he kept a dry goods store in Dungan- non and was at the same time con- nected with a similar business in Lucknow. After giving up business he moved. to Dakota, where he lived for about five years, being engaged for part of that time in farming. For the past nine or ten years he had lived in Goderich. He was a member of North street Methodist church and in politics was a pronounced Liberal. The funeral took place to Dungannon cemetery, Rev. G. N. Hazen officiat- ing at the house and grave, and Rev. F. Swann, of Hohnesville, assisting at the house. Deceased was an uncle of Wm. Glendenning of town. Civic Holiday Excursion. That the popularity of the Union Sunday School excursion is not wan- ing, was clearly evidenced by the record-breaking crowd that assembled at the Grand Trunk station on Friday morning of last week, all bound for Kincardine. The weather man was in sympathy with the whole affair, for he produced the very finest sample of weather, and as a result the air was full of the merriment of young and old. Everything was so well arranged and everybody in such a happy stood, that it is no wonder the day passed off so pleasantly. Not a single hitch oc- curred to near tine pleasure of the excursionists. Over one thousand tickets were sold here, which was a larger number than last year. Other points also contributed larger num- bers than a year ago. About 9,15 the first excursion train of ten cars, hauled by two engines, and bearing the Wingham people, pulled out. The second train, also a double-header, which started from Mitchell, had nine cars well loaded, and left Wingham about 10 a. tn. Wingham's excellent Band accompanied the excursion and of course helped to enliven the pro- ceedings of the day by their fine selec- tions. On arrival at the Park in Kin- cardine, the excursionists• partook of lunch, after which some roamed up and down the beach, some sat in lei - slue in the shady nooks of the Park, solv0 took at walk around the pretty lakeside town, , - somee attended the .cher some lacrosse titin q baseball and n bas, watched the bowlers, while others went boating, batlhing,&e., arc. alto- gether the hours sped happily by. Lunch was again in order, and by the time everybody was satisfied and things cleared away, train time was nearing, and the excursionists wended their way to the station. The return trip was made without anything of special interest occurring, and every- body arrived home in good time. after a pleasant clay's outing at the lake. Dn. OvE to'i, M.

We give below a summary of the several games played by the Wing- hatn Bowlers at the London Tourna» meat, In the Trophy they won as follows: --From Sunnidale of Orange- ville, 1810 ; from Parker of Parkdale, 16-8 ; from Dr. English of London, 17.15 ; from Hewitt of Toronto, 15-12 ; and lost to Seagram of Waterloo, 23-10. In the Association they drew a bye, and lost to Aspinwall of Tilson- burg, 13--12. In the Consolation they won from, Cornwall of 'Thamesford, 18-12 ; from Euler of Berlin, 14-12, and drew a bye. In the finals they lost to Smith of Toronto, 23-21. This gave them second prize, which consisted of four very beautiful cut -glass berry - bowls. Following are the remarks of the London Advertiser on the semi- final match in the Trophy: ---The other semi-final game was much better and was attended by aood gallery. Ed. Seagram played badly, and before he could get the ice Crawford had him seven down. The Germans kept coni- ine and began to draw up on the Wingham bunch. At the sixth end he had one to the good, but the north- erners came back hard with a bunch of three. Eddie evened it up on the next end, and the pair see -sawed until the fourteenth end, when the score was a tie. Eddie won out on the next end. Crawford's men all got on the bad side of the green and the shots went wide, In the meantime Eddie was bunching the Dutchmen, and when the end cleared Seagram lay six on the right side of the ledger. Craw- ford was game, but .he could not get up, and the Germans were seven to the good at the call of tune, Lnsrn, Liins, LIME,—Good lime for sale.—E. Dennis, Wingham.
