One of the worst frosts of the season
was that of last Wednesday night, it
has played havoc with the corn and
potatoes especially in the lowlands.
Some farmers are resowing their corn
and unless good sowing weather follows
it will be late,
Fears are entertained that the fall
wheat has been hurt, as it is now at a
critical stage, this means a serious
Toss to the country at large.
A very successful picnic was held by
Holmes' Sunday School on Wednesday
afternoon last, in Mr. James Showers
woods. The delightful weather brought
out a large crowd and a pleasant time
was spent in swinging, games, races,
baseball match, etc. The race ror girls,
between the ages of 7 and 9 years, was
won by Aggie McKague; while H.
Foxton won the boys' race of the same
age. Lizzie MeKague carried off the
honors in the girls' race (between the
ages of 10 and 121. Earl Dixon was
best at picking up potatoes; and Annie
Homuth showed the girls how to
gather eggs. After a sumptuous re-
past in the woods, all left for their
respective homes well pleased with the
afternoon's outing.

day program on Wednesday, the day of

An unfortunate accident happened at
the Brussels Creamery, when George
Colvin mistook a dipper containing sul-
phuric acid to be water and dashed it
in the face of Wm. Harris, jr., and the
result was a very serious burn. It is
hoped the eyesight will be saved, al.
though at present both eyes are closed.

The following from the Pilot Mound,
Man. Sentinel, of June 24th, refers to
the death of Mr. Douglas Fraser, a
former highly esteemed resident of
this township:
Death came very unexpectedly to one
of this community's much respected
citizens on Sunday last, in the person
of Mr, Douglas Fraser, calling him to
his reward in the sixty -seventy year of
his age. Of :event years, Mr. Fraser
had not been enjoying very robust
health, but was able to be around pretty
much all the time. On Sunday he
was feeling exceptionally well, when
all of a sudden •he expired whilst sit-
ting in a chair, succumbing to heart
failure.
Mr. Fraser wes born at Shakespeare,
Ontario, on February 21st, 1348, where
he grew up to manhood, being the son
of the late Alexander and Mrs. Fraser
(who still survives him). In his early
years he followed farming, being a noted
plowman. Shortly after marrying Miss
Katharine Hay; he went' to live near
Wingham in' Huron county, in which
vicinity they "resided until 1106,
when they came west to Pilot Mound
and purchased the farm (33 2 11), on
which he died. • Before corning west,
Mr. Fraser taught school for sevedteen
years at S.S.' No. 2, Turnberry town-
ship (Ontario) and 8 years at S. S. No.
9 same municipality. Since corning
west he homesteaded on land north of

152 cars, with 2,487 cattle, 106 calves,
181 hogs, and 306 sheep and lambs.
To -day's market was probably the
most active and strong this season for
good butcher cattle. Prices were
easily 20c to 25c higher, while special
high-class cattle reached new high
levels for this time of the year. A load
of choice heavy steers was reported at
$8.90, and half a dozen fancy baby
steers sold at the same high prices. It
was said individual sales were made at
$9.
A strong outside demand largely ac-
counts for the present strength of the
market. One firm, Corbett, Hall, and
Coughlin, will to -night ship 300 cattle
for France. Many of these were bought
up during the past week at country
points.
The general run of good butcher
cattle was firm at $8 to $8.50, and some
extra choice loads at $8.70.
Lambs were firm.
Calves firm.
Hogs were quoted at tO 10 off cars,
but there were not enough offering to
make a market.

One of the worst frosts of the season
was that of last Wednesday night, it
has played havoc with the corn and
potatoes especially in the lowlands.
Some farmers are resowing their corn
and unless good sowing weather follows
it will be late,
Fears are entertained that the fall
wheat has been hurt, as it is now at a
critical stage, this means a serious
Toss to the country at large.
A very successful picnic was held by
Holmes' Sunday School on Wednesday
afternoon last, in Mr. James Showers
woods. The delightful weather brought
out a large crowd and a pleasant time
was spent in swinging, games, races,
baseball match, etc. The race ror girls,
between the ages of 7 and 9 years, was
won by Aggie McKague; while H.
Foxton won the boys' race of the same
age. Lizzie MeKague carried off the
honors in the girls' race (between the
ages of 10 and 121. Earl Dixon was
best at picking up potatoes; and Annie
Homuth showed the girls how to
gather eggs. After a sumptuous re-
past in the woods, all left for their
respective homes well pleased with the
afternoon's outing.

The following from the Pilot Mound,
Man. Sentinel, of June 24th, refers to
the death of Mr. Douglas Fraser, a
former highly esteemed resident of
this township:
Death came very unexpectedly to one
of this community's much respected
citizens on Sunday last, in the person
of Mr, Douglas Fraser, calling him to
his reward in the sixty -seventy year of
his age. Of :event years, Mr. Fraser
had not been enjoying very robust
health, but was able to be around pretty
much all the time. On Sunday he
was feeling exceptionally well, when
all of a sudden •he expired whilst sit-
ting in a chair, succumbing to heart
failure.
Mr. Fraser wes born at Shakespeare,
Ontario, on February 21st, 1348, where
he grew up to manhood, being the son
of the late Alexander and Mrs. Fraser
(who still survives him). In his early
years he followed farming, being a noted
plowman. Shortly after marrying Miss
Katharine Hay; he went' to live near
Wingham in' Huron county, in which
vicinity they "resided until 1106,
when they came west to Pilot Mound
and purchased the farm (33 2 11), on
which he died. • Before corning west,
Mr. Fraser taught school for sevedteen
years at S.S.' No. 2, Turnberry town-
ship (Ontario) and 8 years at S. S. No.

To -day's market was probably the
most active and strong this season for
good butcher cattle. Prices were
easily 20c to 25c higher, while special
high-class cattle reached new high
levels for this time of the year. A load
of choice heavy steers was reported at
$8.90, and half a dozen fancy baby
steers sold at the same high prices. It
was said individual sales were made at
$9.
A strong outside demand largely ac-
counts for the present strength of the
market. One firm, Corbett, Hall, and
Coughlin, will to -night ship 300 cattle
for France. Many of these were bought
up during the past week at country
points.
The general run of good butcher
cattle was firm at $8 to $8.50, and some
extra choice loads at $8.70.
Lambs were firm.
Calves firm.
Hogs were quoted at tO 10 off cars,
but there were not enough offering to
make a market.
