J. IL Taman of Palmerston, brother
of W. W. 'Tannin of Exeter, was Last

N. D. Hurdon received a postal on
Saturday from Pete IIawden, who is
in England with the Canadian Bow-
lers. on which he stated that although
the team had not yet done any win-
ning, they were having one continual
round of feasting and an excellent
time.
A quiet wedding took place at the
Trivitt Memorial Church rectory on
Wednesday of last week, when Miss
Mary Hatter, daughter of Mr. Thos.

Mr. Geo. Hawkins, who has been on

A petition is in circulation for pres-
entation to the Reeve asking that he
proclaim one day of the week between
August :3rd and ltlth as Civic Holiday,
the exact day not being decided upon.
This will give the citizens an oppor-
tinity of attending the Old Iloys Re-
union at London. LATEit—The reeve
has proclaimed Monday, the 3rd, as
the holiday. :and an effort is being
made to secure a late train from Lon-
don that evening.
The pinch of the depression is begin-
ning to be felt in even some of the
Huron towns. The futnit)ue factory
in Seaforth, which was closed for sev-
eral weeks last winter, is again shut
down, not to open again until the 1st
of August, it is said. Three of the
factories in \\'inghant are also closed,
and it is said the chair factory owned
by the Canada Furniture Company
may not resume for some time. in
(.oderich two or three of the indus-
tries are not being operated.
If you are a kicker and see the shad-
ow of failure in everything that is pro-
posed to help the town, for Heaven's
sake go into some secluded canyon and
kick your own shadow on the clay
hank, and thus give men who are
working to build up a town a chance.
One long -faced, hollow-eyed, whining
kicker can do more to keep away busi-
ness and capital from a town than all
droughts, short crops. chinch btigs,cy-
clones and blizzards combined.

An iron hall measuring nearly 4
inches in circumference and weighing

the farm of Mr. Stoddart, West Nis -
sour', on a piece of ground, which at
high water fortes an island in the

found by some men getting out tim-
ber for a barn. A duplicate was found
in a tree near hy. One of these curios
may he seen at Grafton l•ren's, the
other at James Mtnith'e, Cherry Grove.
The most unfortunate class of people
living upon this green earth are
grumblers. They rob home of its joys,
society of its dues. and themselves of
the best things of life. From the days
the children of Israel grumbled and
were sent on their tedious wanderings
"frit forty years in the wilderness" up
to the present hour, the world has
been full of grumblers, It is"too hot"
or "ten cold," "too wet" or "ton dry."
People in reasonable circumstances
have visions of the poor.house, while
the rich grumble that they can't get
rich faster.

The Festi'e Cucumber.
You know this is the time of the
year when the death dealing cusum•
her is abroad in the land seeking
whom it may double up or make sad.
Whcn a ratan goes home in the even•
ing after a hard day's work he finds
that he is the proud possessor of an
appetite like a self -binder, and when
he sits down to it table and sees before
hitt the first cucumbers of the season
he can hardly wait until he gets a
quantity stored away under his base-
ball belt. Under this belt said cucum-
bers quietly lay in wait until the eater
has gone to sleep for the night. Then
they get up on their feet, unbutton
their vests, roll up their sleeves and
proceed to business. At the first at-
tack the sleeper only dreams that Nor-
man Schafer has hit him in the vitals
with a base -ball hat, but the cucum-
bers rapidly get warmed up and the
victim's agonies increase. His dreams
become more picturesque and he be-
gins to think that someone is dancing
the Highland fling on his abdomen.
Things then get desperate and doctors
are telephoned for, and instructed to
bring their full-grown stomach pumps.
\Vhen the sleeper awakens in the
morning the first thing he does is to
feel bis stomach to see if it is still
there. Ile finds the stomach there, al-
so the cucumbers, which the night be-
fore sat up and smiled at him so inno-
cently. 'There are lots of people tt•ho
are harvested before they are ripe,
simply because they absorb more cu-
cumbers into their anatomy than
their digestive apparatus can cope
with.
