In the hurly, burly of trade from eight in the morning till, eight in the evening, a o.owd beyond: doubt visits this store. •Some merely stray in because they see others at the counters buy- ing. Others leave home and come direct to this store to do their ,buying, the • reason being that their interests were so well looked after the last time they were served here, Others again sweep right in as though carried along with the wave of popular excitement, surg- ing through the store buy- ing and looking, looking and buying. It's bargains they're after. Honest every day goods at less than every • day prices is the "magnet. That one word. "every -day" suggests a little talk. Ev- ery day there are more bar- gains here -than the papers could tell of if we had twice the space. It isn't our boast that no one ever thinks of looking further after seeing our stock. That's too near . hyperbole even for an ad- vertisement. We want peo- ple to look and look and' compare goods and prices. The results of the most careful investigation help this business invariably. Nor do we find it necessary to parade prices by the yard, to hang up in the papers what isn't in the store, or to say one thing and mean, another. Not one day alone, but every day your interests are cared for here in a way that bespeaks a close vital connection between buyer and seller. It is as it should be. The more we do the more liberal we can afford to be, We're very busy among our wash goods just now—they're of interest to everybody. Not busy in spots,but a general, healthy, unforced business that comes of having just what you want, as you want it, and when you want it. J. O. GILROY1 God -040h.

A number of visitors from Detroit have arrived at the Commercial hotel. The lovely scenery and healthy lake breezes offer great inducements to visi- tors. We hope they will go away well satiefied and prepared to highly recom- mend Bayfield. Last week the Rev. Mr. Livingstone, of Listowel, a very familiar face to us all, pend us a short visit, L. O. L. No. 24 and the O, Y. B., of Bayfield, celebrated the 13th in London. Last Thursday a large picnic from Hansell visited the beautiful grove of Mr, Jowitt, all had a big time and eat joyed themselves immensely on the lake, Mr. Swarts, Sr., of Goderioh, was In town last week. One Sunday evening recently one of our popular divines preached a sermon on the subject of baptism whioh no doubt proved enlightening to himself if not to the congregation. Kenny Moorhouse, our popular eporte- mao, while out shooting the other day had the misfortune to break bis gun. On the 7th inet, our town was taken by Burch's Uncle Toms Cabin Show and proved to be the biggest humbug under canvas. This old but interesting play would no doubt have proved a success bad not some of the troupe imbibed too freely of the juice of the "bug." About 3 o'clock an outside rehearsal of some aote not on the programme, but which were very muoh appreciated by the on- lookers, was enacted. - After the free show the parade, whioh consisted of an apple cart load of third rate wind artists, took place. Thie part of the elrous amused the young people very much. When I am a man I'll be a blacksmith if I oan,and I can.

They intend . camping out while there. Mr. Jennings, a stu- dent of Huron. College, takes -Lite Holmeaville mission during the absence of Mr. Diehl. Last Sunday morning Rev. Bro. Ayers preached one of the most prac. tical sermons on Orangeism and Pro• teataniam ever liatened to in this section. There was a very large gathering of Orangemen and friends and the church was filled to over- flowing. Owing to going to press so early a synopsis cannot be here given, but it may bo said that Bro. Ayers held the close attention of the great audience from start to fin• ish, and very plainly evinced that he knew what lie was talking about. Biblical and British history formed the foundation of his discourse. After the sermon the lodge reassem- bled in their hall and passed the usual votes. There were about 150 present. Stanley. Mr. Geo, Beatty sr of Varna bas had bis shed raised preparatory to putting a stone wall under it. Mr. Geo. Bates had the misfor- tune to lose by death one of his valuable span of colts. Mr. John Elliott is building a wall under the shed of Mr. John Reid, sr., Bayfield Road. The booming sounds of the drum and the breezy notes of the fife are again, heard. The Orangemen of this district, after the usual season of hibernation, again wakened up as the glorious 12th approached, moat of the Lodges going to London and will have been returnedby the time this issue appears. - The cheerful sound of the mower breaks the stillness of the morning air, but alas, itolears not the gloom of the farmer's horses as they think of the prospect for the coming win- ter. The hay crop is lighter than it has been for some years around here. The fall wheat is looking very well. Other crops are improving much since the ram. Port Albert. The crops in this neighborhood have improved since the recent i aina. The hay and oat crops will be abort, but wheat' has picked up very well. Fell wheat is good. There has been sown a large area of to replace the short - peas in hay. Moat of the marigolds and carrots have been ploughed up and the ground sown for green fodder. Turnips are coming along all right. A large number of plover fields have been cut with the expectation of a good second orop, but timothy is growing yet and will not be out fur a few days. On the whole the prospect is fifty, per cent, better than it was ten days ago, and there will be "Dorn in Egypt yet." In a letter from Manitoba read last eveniug 1 am told the crops are lookiug-splendid and the party who gave me the information says he "expecte to have h:.rrels of money atter next harvest.' Let me see—am'r th a the place the great and good Edward said "was a frozen up, blizzard -ridden, God- forsaken country, that nothing but cyclones, redmeo and buffaloes coull exist iu it eto., etc. . We have had that great "Nor -wester" the fieher.neu were praying for and it whooped it up in grand old fashion, and most everything that was rnove.ble-had to get up and get betore the wind at the rate of 2.10. 'Yen bat it made things lively about thephaetiea at the harbor, the boats breaking away from the snub - Wog poets and everything was in confus- ionfor several hours. The ''pound nets" suffered as nearly half of the stakes were pulled -up and driven ashore and nets torn up and badly damaged. But Niel Paid it started the fish on the run for out of two pound nets whioh held their places she . fishermen took 25 sturgeon and a ton or more other fish. They are well pleased -with the catch but not with the lose of their nets. It was the hardest blow we have had thio season. During the afternoon previous .to the storm Mr. Mahaffy was dredging an entrance to get to his storehouse, (work the •"Chaltange" should have done last fall) but the gale Dame up eo quickly nothing could be done but put to sea and make Goderiob harbor or be at the mercy of the raging billows. However, the "Spray," true to her name, made the spray fly as ebe dashed through the foam- ing sea for the harbor of refuge and got there all right notwithstanding such ex- pressions art ebe "oannot live in such a storm," "she never will reach Goderich harbor," "she will run on Joe. Weight's point, sure pop." But she ran etraight into Goderioh harbor, and Capt. Mahaffy has the back water on most of the sea- going chaps who think they know so much about boats and barges. By the way what scared Capt. Bogie that he did not Leave harbor at Goderich for near ly a week. Where the "Spray" could live surely the seagoing gentlemen could risk his life in all "Ontario."

Last Friday the Beaver Lacrosse Club of Seaforth and the Dauntless Jr. of Clinton lined up on the park here as follows :— SHAVERS • Abel Goal H. Jackson Point Bethune Cover Point McDonald Defence Campbell Sutherland Cresswell Centre Stevens Home Field Copp B. Jackson Baldwin Outside Rome G. Jackson Homo In passing through Saltford the other day I had occasion to oall at Peter Mo- Ewen'e Salt block for some ealt and the genial proprietor attended to my wand;. • The eonveraation ran thus : "Well, Peter, I presume you are selling salt very cheap since the duty is knock- ed off? The reply came : "The duty don't interfere in the least with me in this business, the fact is I am selling salt at sunh• low prieee that the duty will not affeot me. And the price of wood and coal is so high that I or any other salt man cannot Bell salt cheaper. For instance, I offer and am Belling No. 1 Belt by the oar or waggon load at $5.00 per ton ; in barrels of 280 lbs 70 oente or 25 oente per 100 lbs. No. 2 salt 20 cents per 100 lbs. or $3.50 by the oar lot per ton and land salt at $3.00 per ton. These figures defy outeidete to undersell me so the tariff don't affect me the least. Salt is so low just now in price there is very little if any profit in its manufacture." Mr. McEwen loot his ealtblook some time ago by fire and he was obliged to rebuild and asked the township of Colborne for a loan of 81000 for 'a few years to assist him in rebuild- ing and continuing his salt industry, whioh is not only a great benefit to the township, but employs a larBe number of hands to run it. The people voted it down and Moblwen was obliged to stand the big loss weed by the fire and re- build at an expense of several thousand dollars and is now carrying on the Balt business more extensively than before. Peter is a pusher and Colborne should have given him some assistance to carry oil this great industry, whioh is of a great benefit to the farmer in •partioular. MRs. G. 11.

Reid Kennedy Fair May Yellowtees Gibbings There was fire in the eyes, deter- mination in the hearts and muscles like twisted ropes in the limbs of all the contestants, and each side was loaded up with pent up "hoo- rahs" lo be let loose when the game was completed. The Dauntless, however, did not expect to be pitted against so heavy a team nor expect that so many seniors were to be sub - Wanted for those who played with Goderich on Dominion day. Among the Beavers were seven who played against the Seniors of Brantford July lit. and defeated them 4 to 2. There was only one among the Beavers who was entitled by play the Dauntless. In spite of the un- fair odds against them the Dauntless made a good showing. For the kit few minutes it was bard to detect which had the best of the play. In about 15 minutes the Dauntless show - ad -their combination play and soon secured the first goal by a clever shot from Kennedy. After the usual rest play again commenced and the Dauntless soon showed that they played better lacrosse then their ap- ponents. But an oversight qqpp the part of the defence allowed the ball to pass through the Clinton goal after about 20 minutes. The score now stood 1 to 1. The Beavers also secured third, fourth and fifth in 25, 11 and 2 minutes respectively. While both sides showed remark- able skill it will not be unfair to say that the Dauntless excelled their op- ponents in strategic movements. Ilut the Beavers by their larger physique and brawn and greeter staying powers, developed by, continuous practice, came off victors. What the Dauntless require is more prac- tice. The Captain should get them together oftener, and a whirl around the race course once and a while would prevent themjieing so easily winded. DEATHS.
