Tuokersmith• lleusall, Many of our boys have distinguished themselves in the past, at various col- leges in ,Canada, United States and other countries, and also in the differ- ent professions. Another of our youth' men, in the person of Mr. Colin D. Doig appears to be fast reaching an emin- ence of fame. Mr, Doig passed his boy- hood oa the farm in this township, at - ter which he taught school for several years inthis county, with marked sue - cess. Then studied law at the Detroit Law School, where he graduated last June, at the head of his class, obtain ing the degree of L. L, 13. Shortly af•, terwards he commenced the practise of law in the town of Grat,d Marais. which is situated on the South shore of Lake Superior, where he is fast acquir ing an extensive aid lucrative prac- tise. At the party conventions, held last week, he received the unanimous nomination for Circuit Court Commis- sioner, from both the Republican and Democrat parties, and will in every probability be elected this month by acclamation. The Alger Republican,. commention on the nomination, says: "Mr. Doig is a bright, brainy, brilliant young attorney, who has been located at Grand Marais for several months. He is a graduate of the Detroit Law School, and is spoken of as a youue man who is bound to rise to eminence in his profession. His fellow towns men have nothing but the warmest words of praise for him, and the fact that he has received the uomination for Circuit Court Commissioner, on both the Republican and Democratic tickets, is a testimonial of the popularity he has gained during• his short residence in our country." Mo.aillop. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE:—An old lady named Alexander made a desperate attempt to commit suicide last week. She had been staying for some time. at the residence of Mr. James Hays, 6th. concession, M:Killop. On Wednesday. night, having retired as usual, un- known to any of the members of the family, she got up aid left the house. In the morning as soon as she was missed, a vigorous search II as institut- ed for her, but was fruitless, until Fri- day forenoon when Mr. Geo. Dickson and some others fouud her in Mr. Me• Michael's woods, some coosict,•rable dis- tance from Mr, Rays' place, She was lying under the shelter of the roots of an upturned tree, and her face and person was partly covered by leaves .It was thought at tirs'that she was dead; a closer inspection, however, re- vealed the fact that she was still liyiug and it was also found that there was a cut clear across her throat from which blood was freely oozing. She was tae ken up and conveyed to Mr. Hays'resi- dence and medical aid. procured. It was learned that the wound in the neck was ,not deep- enough to prove fatal, and that she was suffer- ing mainly from exposure and loss of blood. Every possible attention that kind hearts could suggest has been given her by Mr. Hays' family, and she is recovering as speedily as possi. ble. She is said to be about SO years of age, and it is supposed she wandered. away and committed the rash act while temporarily insane. She was lightly dressed when she went away, and as she was out two nights, it is a wonder that the exposure did not prove fatal The knife with which the wound was inflicted was afterwards found where she had been lying, It is a knife that she had carried for some time, and it is now remembered that she was seen sharpening it a day or,two before she strayed away. If this is the case, no doubt she had the taking of her own life in her mind for some time. The case is a very sad one and looks as if the old lady will need to be .very close ly looked after, as her mind being turned in this direction, there is little doubt but she will try the same thing again should she recover from this at- tempt, and an opportunity offers. Another of Mr. John GilIespie's dray horses died on Tuesday. REMEMBER That Willa' 1S CoM!ng And you will have to have Winter Clothing. By buying at J.

You have our earnest wishes, for success, in the town to which you are going. Please ac- cept this set of dishes, not merely for its value, but as a slight token of appreciation and. regard.

However, Mr. Ben Tomlinson, who is a crack shot, was only too glad of a change to try his skill, and he went out with Mr. VanEgmond, and was re- warded by a sight of the animal, which. he brought down with the first shot.
