Mr. Philip McIntosh has added a neat wire fence in front of his place during the past week. We understand the Gorrie Foresters intend to take part in the great demon- stration at Wingham on Dominion Day. Rev. Mr. Torrance starts this morning to attend conference at Guelph, Heex- pects to return the latter part of next week. At a joint meeting of the Presbyter- ian congregations of Ferdwieh and Gor- rie, held here on Tuesday last it was de- cided not to extend a call to any minister for the present. In the absence of the pastor at Con- ference, Mr.- (1 C. Keine will conduct the Methodist services in the town hall next Sunday morning, and Mr. Deach- man, of Orange Hill, will preach in the evening. Active preparations are being made for the corner stone laying of the new Methodist church on July l'st. It is ex- pected that Revs. Livingstone ssad Rupert will be among the speakers. Wool -growers certainly ought to find a profitable outlet for their wool this year. We invite an inspection of our advertis- ing columns where no less than five firms, in. Gerrie, Wroeter, Fordwich and. Listowel, are offering to buy wool. Methodist District meeting was held at Listowel last week. The reports spewed that Gorrie and Fordwich cir- cuits were again in the van in the mattes of increase Of membership, notwith- standing Rev. Mr. Torrance's protracted illness. The different funds of the Dis- trict were shown to have been well supported during the past term. Rev. Jas. Livingstone was appointed to the Stationing Committee of the Guelph Conference, Rev. T. Amy to the Sabbath School committee, and Rev. J. W. Pring to the rp'svorth League. A public tem- perancel!rmeeting was held in the evening in which Rev. Messrs. Pring, Rogers; Torrance, Bell, Dr. Philip and Others delivered addresses. That tack which the Godench Signal set for the Vidette man must have been sharper than _we expected—at least it made the lattir yelp terribly. But, like the dog that didn't know what hit him, he turns his yelpings at the GAZETTE in- stead of the Signal. And he threatens to yelp more at us, too, if he gets hurt again. He makes great promises of what he will do when he leaves Gorrie, • and it is to he hoped he will keep them better than he kept the.promise he gave Us in writing last winter to sell out, • which promise it was that brought 'us • to Gorrie. We had heard the threat even before the GAZETTE was started, that the Vidette intended to rake open that 4old page in *private history, but we did net believe—even after the Sig- noi. said so7-that he was low down scavenger enough for that. The Vicki& man claims to. be "Mountain high" above Us. Well, his head -la on top of a pretty tall stature buthe evidently don't bury his brains up there, or the wide-awake business -men of the town would not hake been cOnipelled, in self defence, to -buy and establish a newspaper of their jwn to properly represent them and, the ipetinn in which, they_de 'busineis. "A wet May makes long hay" is an old saying that contains much truth, The Foresters have purchased a lot on Main st., and intend to erect a fine hall, costing about $1,000. The crop outlook all over this section is of the most promising nature and farmers may look forward to a bounti- ful laarvest. Mr. K. Knechtel, late city reporter of the Stratford daily Beacon, was ih town last week, putting a new register in. the Albion hotel. Rev. W. F. Brownlee, of Lion's Head, has been appointed by the Bishop to the charge of the'Gorrie English Church. He will arrive here about the middle of July next. Mr. Smith, cooper, ha& been El with pleurisy. He was successfully tapped by Dr. Tuck, five and one-half pints of fluid being removettand he now appears to be improving nicely. ar, The Howick Fire Insurance Company took 28 new- applications for insurance and renewed 60 during the month of May. The property covered amounts to $129,900 for which premium notes have been given amounting to $6,495. Miss Minnie Smith,of this -village,veho is at present at Tara is very sick caused by a gathering on her neck similar to the trouble she had last summer. Word came to -day that lockjow had set in and her sister Emma started at • once for Tara to bring her home. Mr. Dane, proprietor of the Albion hotel, is making a complete change in the interior appearance of that house. The hall sy sitting and dining rooms are being cleaned and papered with elegant patterns at an expense of about $100. Mr. Edgar Veal, who has the contract, has reason to be proud of the fine work he is doing. Dr. J. A. Wilson, son of ex -Deputy - Reeve Chas. Wilson, has successfully passed his examination before that crucible, the Medical Council, and has thus gained his full title as an M.D. We congratulate our young friend upon his success. Mr. Will Armstrong, brother of Mr. Jas. Armstrong, V. S., has also successfully passed the Council. Early on Tuesday morning Mrs. John Haskett, of Lakelet, quietly passed to her eternal rest. Deceased came with her husband to Gorrie about thirty years ago and has remained ever since up till a year or so ago, excepting three years in Trowbridge. When the Maple Leaf hotel, Gorrie, was burned down, her ner- vous system received a severe shock, from which she never fully recovered. She was a kind-hearted, gentle lady and is truly mourned by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was in her sixty-ninth year. Her funeral occurred yesterday at Gorrie, a large number being in the cortege. Mr. Haskett, who is himself not at all well, has the profound sympathy of all in his irrepairable loss. • - There is still muchg,rievance felt over the unnecessarily bad state of the roads through the swamps north of Gorrie. If roads are ever in good condition it should be at this tithe of the year when there is neither mud, frost or snow -drifts to obstruct them, yet this particular street, upon which hundreds of dollars has been profitably spent by past coun- cils is allowed to remain in a shameful condition. Through the swamps the roads are cut by the wagon tracks made in the early spring when the rad was soft, and reinained so (on account of in- sufficient drainage) long after the other roads had dried- up. In the northern swamps there are, in addition' to the track -ruts, large n'imbers of roots and ends of logs projecting from the road in such a manner as to ..endanger both horses and vehicles make the pas- sage of a heavy load very difficult, es- pecially after night. If the council feels too economic to properly drain and gravel this road, it surely can stand the slight expense of having the pro- jecting roots, etc., clumped off and the rats filled in. Gorrie is entitled to bet- ter treatment from the council. This village has paid Tmore than its share into the treasury of the town- ship, yet, through the • "economic" action of the Board, hundreds of -dollars worth of Howl& trade which justly be- longs to Gerrie, finds its way every year to Mildmay merchants' coffers. The farmers to the north of Gorrie express themselves as confident they can deal better in Gerrie, but prefer to take a longer journey rather than travel the side -line in its present condition. Thia state of affairs an injustice to the farmers north, and our Reeve has here a Chance to cuetinilieb lmnself • , . ,• ..-.. • • -= . • •:".,"'•"=,".-:. • ,:,••••-r - • •-= • ' • • Mr. John Edgar, of Tara, was in town this, week. Mr. Will H. Smith, of Toronto, called on Gorrie friends on Tuesday. The People's cheese factory com- menced operations on Monday last. A newsy letter from Fordwich reached this office too late for publication in this issue. Frank, the 17 -year-old son of Mr. James Young, died at his father's home in Fordwich last Saturday. Rev. Mr, Carter delivered a temper- ance lecture in Wingham last Monday evening under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Rev. Mr. Wright and family were cordially received by the members of St. Jude's Church, Brantford, on their arrival there. The Courier gives a glowing description of the recep- tion, which was held in the school house, when a fine program was rendered. Slanderers' Reward. Editor Gazette:—Please allow me a mph space in the columns of your paper, as it is read by nearly every person in this section, to show those who have heard of the slanderous falsehood circu- lated against me that it was untrue and Without the least foundation. A few persons reported to the effect that.I at - 'tempted to deal dishonestly with Mrs. Thomas Campbell, of this place, just previous to her departure for Manitoba. I -send you a statement signed by Mrs. Campbell's brother for publication, showing that the parties who reported the slander are base falsifiers and un- worthy of the name of men or women. I was forced to defend myself from this charge against me, and ask my accusers to establish their charges or make a personal acknowledgement, which re- quest two promptly complied with, making the personal acknowledgement. Some others did not and I was forced to hand in their names to my solicitor to enter an action against them in the High Court, and they were glad to acknowl- edge they had lied against me, signed a libel, paid the costs and went home I hope fully determined never again to use their slanderous tongues against any person. I withhold their names from public print as they have suffered enough and hoping this lesson will be a warning for the future. Resp'y, B. S. Coox. I, William Henry Newton, of the township of Howick, do hereby certify • and state to whom it may concern, that the report circulated against B. S. Cook, of Fordwich, of having attempted to deal di/shonestly with my sister, Mrs. Thomas Campbell, in the leasing of her house and the improvement on her prem- ises, were absolutely false, as the propo- sition by Mr. Cook was made to ine, and which proposition I made to my sister, knowing the same to be fair and just; but through some way a false re- port was spread by evil -disposed persons, as I know, and also my sister, Mrs. Campbell knows, th; t both Mr. and Mrs. Cook were very kind and the best friends she ever had in Fordwich. [Signed.] ' W. H. NEWTON. Wroxeter Mr. Thomas Miller returned from the North West last Friday. Wampcle's tasteless Cod Liver Oil for sale at Fox's drug store. The Te'mperance Lodge here has a membership of 85. Messrs. Hamilton and Sanderson shipped 200 fat hogs on Wednesday. The perverse creatures 'went to Mani- toba. The nimble mosquito has arrived and the Hessian fly is daily expected. Twelve drumniers were showing their goods at once at the Gofton House the other day. The place looked like a fancy bazar. What ducks of hats are to be seen on the streets of Wroxeter! But anything looks pretty on lovely wernon: Pure, fresh Hellebore"for currant worms, at Fox's drugstore. There is a party here who declares he saw the sea serpent in the mill pond. He was coming home from a party, which accounts his.magnifying a slab into a serpent. Fordwich. • Mr. Alex. Johnston's hens, in. looking over a copy of the GAZETTE .which had floated to their neighborhlod, made the discovery that eggs are now_ sold- by the No. 27. pound. Instead of standing around on one leg meditating ever- the change, they at once commenced business on a new scale, and Mr. J. was able to bring in, as a present to Dr. Spence, four eggs which weighed 15- ounces, and one of them measured 8% in. x 61 in. Wyness- wants wool. He has a con- nection with one of the best woollen mills in the Province. Highest market price paid. Mr. David Mahood, who had his hand so badly injured at the mill a few weeks ago, is improving though slowly. The wound proves to bo unusually painful and troublesome. Postmaster Mahood has made a grand improvement in the Fordwich office a week or so ago. A new set of boxes with wire bottoms, has been put in hundreds of feet of wire having been used for the purpose. The work was done by Mr. Dicks, and Mr. Mahood now presides over as convenient and tasty a post office as can be found in any village of this size in the Province. Mr. Barns has been making consider- able improvement upon his hotel pro- perty here lately. Mr. John Southeran, 6th con., has his fine new bank barn nearly completed. A verandah has been erected around the post office building which will be used as an entrance to the new Masonic hall. Mr. Young, the popular Ethel insur- ance agent, was in town on Tuesday. Huntingfield. A. Wynn & Son shipped a car load of choice cattle to Toronto last week. Mr. Samuel Vogan has returned from the North-west having disposed of his fine horse "Scotland Yet." He also purchased a very desirable tract of land. near Neepawa. Mr. John Halliday shipped three car- loads of fat cattle fkom Mildmay and two loads from Wingham last Monday. They were billed to Glasgow. Mr. Whitwell Lowish, who had the naisfortune to break his leg a few weeks ago, is progressing very favorably. Lakelet. Business is good in our village. We hear talk of a wedding, about a mile south-east this week. D. W. Dulmage, merchant, of London, with his little daughter Agnes, visited his brother here last week. George Horton lost his peddling horse on Thursday last. It got in a mire hole near the creek and next morning noth- ing but its head was above mud. / Lakelet water band has begun 5.4 evening practice. As -soon as the baat e .r voices arrive music will be kept upie during the summer nights. We chal- ' lenge Huron to equal the force and abil- ity of our water band. • Pathmasters are beginning to look at the roads. We hope they will get good work done this year. Nineteen rainy days in May has left them badly in need of repair. Lakelet people appear well pleased with the division of their beat. Some lamb buyers are moving about in this locality offering good prices. Lambs are a good crop in this section. Farmers say fall wheat, has the most promising appearance for a number of years. Fishing has commenced and every small boy in the village is busy with his hook capturing perch and bass. They appear never to tire of the sport, eveu when they glow old, they will have a day of fishing now and then but require a pistol to make the sport enjoyable. Lakelet Lodge I. 0. G. T. visited their Brethren in Fordwich Friday evening last. A very enjoyable evening's entertainment was provided and they speak highly of the visit to their brother lodge. George Horton jr., we understand, is moving from Gorrie to our village this week Springbank Cheese Company began operations Monday the 30th. Mr. Sam'l Howard, late of Gorrie factory, is in charge, he having bought out Mr. Laird, who has returned to Brussels. Mr. Howard's record as a cheese -maker is good and it is to be heped that he will be able to maintain the high reputation this factory has obtained on the cheese _ markets.
