Oontract Awarded
Mr. Walter Stewart, Of Lucknow
planing mill, has secured the contract
of erecting a blOck , of three large
brick stores „for Mrs. A Murray, at
the corner Of. Campbell and Inglis
streets in the Village. The old frame
hotel building which is now on the
property is to be moved away, and,
the new buildings erected in its stead.
The new stores are to be fitted up in
moderate style, with plate glass win-
dows, and will make a decided improve -
men t in the appearance of our main
street. Mr. J. M. Cliff has been
*appointed inspector and will look aft�r
the interests of Mrs. Murray' during
-the progress of the work.
Lawn Social
There was a fair attendance at the
lawn social at the residence of Mr. G.
W. Berry, on Tuesday evening last,
but the threatening appearancelof .the
weather kept mantaw,ay that would
otherwise have been present. An
abundant supply of raspberries and
other delicacy were served by Ithe
ladies in waiting, and the Brass Band
and the Harmonica club, discoursed
a number of fine selections so that' all
present enjoyed a pleasant evening. -
Another Swindle • 1.
The latest scheme for defrauding
farmers is for a person to call upon
*them, representing himself asa grocery
man retiring from business 'said anx1tous
to get rid of his stock, and offers to
sell a chest of tea at a' small price. per
pound. The tea is tested, and found.,
to be as represented. After the tea
Is delivered; if the farmer weights it he
-finds it to be very much short in
weight and when he gets.a little - way
down in the chest he finds the remain-
der of the box worthless stuff.
