We cannot fittingly describe our beautiful Spring Shoes -we cannot put our Shoes into language, no matter how strong the language may be, for language still fails to pic- ture to the mind the combination of strength and grace in our Spring Footwear. They must be seen, handled, examined and worn to be appreciated. Then again our prices are a strong inducement to win your trade. Let it be well understood that our Shoes are the best that is or that can be made -this we guarantee -and that our prices are always the lowest that can be named on good Shoes. J.

At an executive meeting of the Hur- on Old Boys held in Toronto the past week, it was decided to 'run their an- nual excursion to Goderich and Luck - now, leaving on July 9th, good to re- turn up to July llth. This does not necessarily say that all visitors will land at Goderich or Lucknow, but these are terminal points, stop over privileges being granted any place in the northern part of the county over the northern branches east of Luck - now and over the southern route east of Goderich. Wingham will be sure to get its share of the visitors during this visit of the Huron old boys and girls. Plum Trees Killed. The Listowel Standard says :-Many plum trees in this vicinity have been killed by the severe winter, Owners of plum trees in town report from one- fourth to one-half of their trees dead, and some even more than that. The full extent of the loss is not yet known, as many trees that are not entirely killed have also been affected, and will probably die. The enormous crop of plums last year may possibly have had something to do with the winter -killing, but the fact that young trees that have not yet borne fruit are also dead would go to show that the destruction is due to the unusually severe winter. Other fruit trees do not appear to have suffered. The great weight of snow has broken down the berry bushes to such an ex- tent that many patches have been de- stroyed, A Legal Battle. A great legal battle was fought to a finish at the Divieion Court held in Ripley last Thursday before Judge Klein„ The action was entered by one McLean, cattle dealer of Gode- rich, against Dan McDonald. 6th con., for damages in not surrendering cat- tle that had been purchased by said McLean. The sum of $1.00 had been paid on the bargain. The defendant swore that the plaintiff made a bar- gain to take the cattle the first of November. The plaintiff stated the cattle were to be removed during the month of November. The defendant wrote plaintiff informing him that the day had passed when the cattle were to be taken off his hands. A reply to the letter was received that plaintiff regretted that cattle had not been re- moved. In the meantime Mr. Mc- Donald sold the cattle. Mr. McLean then entered an action for damages. Mr. McDonald also put in a claim for damages. The case was tried by a Jury who gave a verdict of $17.00 da- mages for defendant. Lawyer Los - combo appeared for the defendant, and Lawyer D. Holmes of Wingham for the plaintiff. -[Express. 4 PRICES LOW THE THINGS THAT HELP ue to retain old customers and to gam new one are the uniformly HIGH aUALITIES of the Wall Paper we sell, and the uniformly • LOW PRIGS at which we sell it.

J, Pettypiece, of Forest, while in Toronto last week, was asked if the Government had taken any steps towards the appointment of a Provincial Railway Commission, but he replied that he did not know. "However," he added, "I expect dur- ing my stay in the city to see Premier Ross regarding it, and I think I am safe in saying that something will be done in the very near future. The bill granting a charter to Guelph Junction Railway has passed the House of Commons at Ottawa empowering that railway to extend its line westward from the city of Guelph to Goderich, with branches to St. Mary's and Clinton, via Stratford. A telegram dated May Sth says the Assiniboine river has overflowed its banks, and the city of Brandon is suf- fering from the worst flood it, has had in twelve years.

Last week we reported the death of Mrs. Henry Wightman, which took place on April 30th, Deceased was an old resident of this township, and her demise was not unexpected as she had not been enjoying good health for a number of years. Deceased was a consistent member of Westfield Methodist church and attended church services whenever permitted. r -'�• -.may ALWAYS FIRST, A, R. SMITH, the cold water man, on Thursday of last week swam across the river (below the dam) and did not have anyone to hold up his chin, oh no. Oh yes, the cold water seems to make him a very lively corpse ; he seems to be able to ride horseback and wrestle almost as good as ever. In the store, where he has two good hands, there is rapid selling of First -Class Ready-to-wear Clothing, Gents' Fur- nishings, Boots & Shoes, Hate & Caps, for boys, youths and men. A. R.

We are pleased to say that it was only for two days, and the family are now at liberty to go and come as they wish. COUNCIL METING}.

These coats are made full length of thoroughly rain -proofed cravenette, in different shades, with,or without capes. Come and examine them and if they suit, why we know the price will, as we have them from $2,5o up. Curtains.
