SPRING
SUITINGS
Say, we got in some swell
Spring Suitings last week.
They are right up to the mo-
ment.
Coats are two inches longer than
last year, and the lapels are so much
broader and deeper that you can't help
but notice them.
The vests are cut with five buttons.
The pants are just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for $15,
$18 and $20, and no matter where you
go you can't find anything that will
fit as nicely as they do.

The Epworth League of the James
street church gave an ice cream social
and program in the basement of the
church on Tuesday evening. A good-
ly number was in attendance, and, al-
though the evening was cool, consid-
erable ice cream disappeared. The
program, which was presided over by
Mr. T. B. Carling, was an excellent
one and was thoroughly enjoyed.
Those who took part were MissTaylor,
Miss Beers, Mrs. Malloy, who sang
solos; Miss Beers and Miss Cann, a
duet; Misses Ena McPherson and 011ie
I-lern, recitations; The Ladies of the
League, a chorus; Mr, Berry, a cornet
solo; Messrs. Martin, Rowe, Shapton

amounted to about $28.
Mr. Wilbur Martin had a rather un-
pleasant experience down the lane at
rear of the store On May 24th. He was
bringing a crated buggy home from
the station in a delivery wagon.
When be ar•r•iyed at the stopping place
the horse did not choose to stop and
made it bolt for the other end of the
lane, where Dr. Lantz had recently
built a fetrce. Nothing daunted by
the fence the horse made a leap over
it, brit the wagon not being so nimble
couldn't make the jump and landing
against the fence with at terrible smash
levelled about half of it to the ground.
The harness broke and the animal got
clear of the rig but Wilb. held on to
the reins and hroright the horse to a
standstill. The driver and horse re-
ceived little injury', nor was ft great

Mr. I, R. Carling is haying some of
the large maple trees cut down along
Huron street in Front of his residence.
The trees had become very large and
the foliage was so dense that no sun-
shine could get through and the grass
would not grow.
Mr. John Salter was more severely
injured than at first expected in the
runaway last week. He has since
been confined to his room and itis fear-
ed that one or two ribs had been brok-
en away from the back bone. He is
now resting easier and no serious con-
sequences are expected.
A meeting of the members of the
Trivitt Memorial Church will be held

to wait upon the Bishop regarding the
appointment of a new rector for this
parish, Rev. R. J. M. Perkins having
resigned, to take effect about July lst
next.
Mrs. Chas. Perkins, William street,
was so unfortunate on Sunday morn-
ing as to fall down the cellar stairs at
her home and to break a small bone in
one shoulder, besides receiving some
bruises. We trust that the injury will
only be temporary. Mr. Perkins is
still quite ill and is confined to his bed
all the time.
Rev. Wm. Godwin is attending the
London Conference held in Windsor.
Mr. Godwin is on the stationing com-
mittee. In his absence next Sunday

A team belonging to Mr. Thos.
Clarke of Usborne became frightened
at the depot on Monday morning and
the result was almost a serious mix-up.
The team was standing behind Mr.

becoming veru much furiated one of
the animals reared up and with both
front feet made a dash into Mr. Haw-
shaw's buggy,completely demoralizing
the top and seat,and otherwise damag-
ing the rig. Luckily Mr. Hawkshaw
escaped injury, but he had a close call..
The horses also escaped injury.
