There is no set time for buying ; the majority ;of people- buy as they require. So it is that we will call your attention to such goods as you may require. The weather is not to be depended upon, and once it breaks you will need heavy sox for one thing. Prices with us are for a heavy union sock 15c, or two pairs for 25c. Then comes the heavy all wool lines at 20c, 250 and 30c a pair. The best thing we ,hr,tve in the house is a line of sox home hand made, .and not , only is the,' • knitting done by hand, but the yarn is homespun, the price is 50c a pair. Heavy Underwear also will be an absolute necessity, the only question will be, " what kind. ?" If it is -fleece lined goods, we have two leaders that are especial value. The first ' line is worth $1 a suit, and there is no woollakiut it; the second line is worth $1,50 a suit, and is the "genuine wool fleeced goods. Many people prefer the all wool underwear, and for various reasons needless to mention, The buyer of all wool underwear usually looks for a good article, so that while we have good values in all wool and union .underwear at $1 and $1.25 a suit, we prefer, if at all possible, Selling the all wool lines at $1.50, $2 and $2.50 a suit. It pays in the long run to buy the good all wool unshrinkable underwear. Ask your wife, she knows how these things wash; she will say buy the best. Heavy top shirts, needful for outdoor work—our big special sells at 50c. You may not require a heavy shirt, how- ever we are in receipt of the new colors in ox blood, German blue and heliatrope, the price on this line is $1, Heavy Suits. Your winter suit will be a consideration shortly. If you buy your clothes read.yrnade, the $5.50 blue worsted serge line is unique value; $6.75 is the selling price of a suit of an all wool brown mixed tweed;.$8 and $10 are tie prices on what we consider to be the best value in men's ready for wear.' These suits are our own make, and represent honest cloth in the first place; the suits are well cut in the second place, and the trimmings are such as would be a credit to ordered work, Fine Furs. , When you go buying furs, you of course want a selection. We think that there never was a finer lot of furs shown in one store in Seaforth than we have just now. Nothing keeps you aS warm as fur garments, and no garment looks as well. You are sure to suit your taste in our stock, and in jus ic-e to yourself you cannot afford to miss an inspection of our ' fur stock—everything new and. stylish. Ladies' Cloths and Costumes.

The Moose JEW Times of a recent issue, gives_ a description of a ramble through the wheat fields of the Caron district, in which it makes the following reference to former well known residents of this county: We now entered what is known as the "Getty Settlement," which takes its name, from the five Getty brothers who came from Seaforth, Ontario. We brothers, drove up to the fine farm house of Mr. Archie Getty, which is a two story brick veneer, 28x30, with annex 12x16. Mr. Getty we found was away stacking on one of his ;farms, but we failed to run across him *luring the day. However, we feel safe in saying that he has a large acreage un der cultivation and a good crop. He owns 800 acres of land in one of the best parts of the whole district. We next found Mr. George Getty busy stacking his wheat. In -Mr. Getty we found one of the early pioneers of the dis- trict, who came t� thii district in '82 to grow up with the west. Mrs. Getcy arrived in 1890 and they have now one of the best farms in the district. He has now 640 acres of land, 200 acres being fenced for pasture. He keeps a dozen horses and the same number -of cattle. This year he has l40 acres of wheat, 30 of oats, and 70 summer fallowed. Last year his crop averaged 20 bushels all round, and his summer fallow went as high as 30 bushels. He has had a good crop every year sinde starting, except in 1886, 1893 ati,c1 1894, when dry weather eause,d partial failures. This year his wheat would have averaged at least 30 buehels, but o account of the hail storm on the 12da of Ju it will be hard to estimate the yield, but it will likely go about 20 at any rate. At Mr. Getty's we found the painters at work on a large new barn 40x64, built on a stone stable 10 feet high, the wall plee being 14 feet. In the near futur he will build large and commodieus newl house, and Make other improvements to his farm. He 0 inks the Moose Jaw district is all right, and is here to stay. Mr Joseph Getty did not arrive until 1890, and was accompanied by hisiparents and two sisters. He brought with him a car and a half ot effects, but ve y little 7capitall. To -day he has 800 acres of land and eeps 8 horses and 7 head o cattle. b, 35 of et year bushels o about and 70. e one of district. annex 60, and Boys' Winterwear.

Tell the King, Duke, that Jack is working first and foremost for the British, and then, as far at possible, for Anglo- Saxon unity. If Sammy will only keep his head level Jack will show the way, and the Anglo-Saxon will ere long rid the world of that prince of barbarians, Horrid Warfare. And say, Duke, before we forget, be sure and tell dad to get his hair cut and his whiskers trimmed. They say that lately he has not been strictly comme ii faut and up- to-date. Give him a prod in the ribs, Duke, and wake him up. The procession 113 moving quickly. Get some oil and limber up dad's muscles and joints. He must get a move on. • Funeral of the Late Hon. Clarke Wallace. = Impressive in their simplicity were the obsequies marking the burial, on Saturday last, of the late Hon. N. Clarke Wallace, `member for West Y-ork in the Dominion Parliament, and Most Worshipful Grand Master and Sovereign of British North America in the Loyal Orange Association. The interment took place in the Woodbridge cemetery. No flaunting emblems of grief in- truded themselves upon the sorrowing friends and brethren who had gathered to pay the last token of respect around the re- mains of one so widely known and honored ; instead the unpretentiousness which was characteristic of Hon. N. Clarke Wallace in life was there also when the body was laid away forever. No plumed hearse conveyed the remains to their last resting place ; a wagon draped and with a black canopy con- tained the plain oaken coffin on which was simply inscribed "Nathaniel Clarke Wal- lace, born June 21, 1844, died October 7, 1901." But the presence of sorrowing thousands, who 'formed the long funeral procession and followed the body to the grave,spoke more eloquently than aught else could have done of the grief that was felt at the taking away of one who seemingly had many years of usefulness before him. It was a day of mourning in Woodbridge, where the late Grand Master had spent so many years of his life, and in the township of Vaughan generally, for here the Hon. N. Clarke Wallace was kncwn personally to every one of the population. Business was stupended for the day, and the hundreds of people who had come in from the surround- ing country stood quietly around in groups during the morning talking of the sed event. Before the modest, retired cottage, where Clarke Wallace had resided, an arch of black and purple signified that death was within, and the Wallace Bros.' store and many of the private residences had drapings of -black. It was a mournful coincidence that Wood- bridge had two burials on 'Saturday. An old and respected resident, David Elder, a life-long personal friend of the late Hon. Clarke Wallace, was buried in the morning, and the son, who had witnessed his father's interment in the morning, a few hours later stood before the open grave of his father's friend.

One train, however, was found not sufficient to accommodate all those who wished to be present at the last ceremony, so two trains, of nineteen cars in all, and carrying nearly one thousand people, went out from Toronto to Woodbridge, arriving there shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. In that large gathering were men from all parts of On- tario, from Manitoba and from Quebec, prominent members of the Orange Order, politicians of both sides, .business men, poli- tical friends and acquaintances, and many who had known Hon.

She was born in Prince Edward county, and for many years had been a respected resident of the locality. She was a devoted Christian, and a member of the Methodist church. She leaves a sorrowing husband, two eons and five daughters. —The Clinton News -Record of last week says: "Mr. James Hearn returned on Saturday from his Manitoba trip, during whash he Vent as far as Serathclair.

Mr. Chielley is located at Birdshill, where he has a farm and drug store and is doing well, having accumulated a considerable share of this world's goods. Mr. Hearn also met D. Mac- donald, of Dauphin, who years ago lived in Brucefield." —Willie Amos, son of Dr. Amos, of Exeter, narrowly escaped serious injury, or prob- ably death, recently. Willie was riding or earning to ride a bicycle, and accidentally ran into Mr. Eaworthy's horse which was tied to a post in front of Dr. Sweet's office. The little fellow was thrown completely under the horse and the beast becoming frightened jumped around in a frantic manner, with little Willie's life in imminent danger all the time, and to the horror of those who saw the accident it looked as though he would be trampled to death every moment. Luck- ily, however, he was rescued from his peril- ous position with a few slight bruises and a out on one side of his head. Th writing to a friend, Mr. W. A.

Mr. Logan paid him $20, and contended that $25.85 was the proper balance, the value of the flour to be taken from the $50 and not add- ed thereto. His worship, after sifting the evidence pro and con, decided that the plaintiff was entitled to the full amount sued for and the sack. • —A meeting of the Women's Institute, e in connection with the Farmers' Institute, was held at Mrs. John Currie's, Wingham, on Friday afternoon, October 4th.

Mrs. Ritchie, of Wingham, was present with a well prepared paper on the cooking of different kinds of meats, which caused a lengthy diseuseion.
