NOTES.—A largely -attended recep-
tion was tendered Mr and Mrs John
Cartwright, ;on Monday evening, on
their return from their wedding tour.:
RE-ENGAGED. - The trustees of
School Section No. 5, have shown good
judgment and at the same time their
appreciation of a first-class teacher, by
re-engaging Mr J. JL Lowery for next
year, at an increase of salary. Mr
Lowery does good faithful work, and
his pupils show the result thereof.
The trustees of this section own a
house, and if John H. would only "en-
gage" himself to some lady, he might
get the use of the house—or perhaps
he has already made arrangements of
this kind.
DEATH The announcement of the
death' of Mr. Robt. Carter, of the 8th
con., on Wednesday, will be received
with surprise and regret, for although
it was:known that he was in ill health,
„J is.death.was not anticipated, and was
the result of stomach , derangement.—
,.Aeceased has been a resident of Hallett
Est. about 80 years, rind was, the` if.e Ore,
one of its earliest, as well as most in-
dustrious settlers. Born in Yorkshire,

and remained for a short time at Tor-
onto; when he first came to the Huron
tract he secured a farm on the Base

ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES.—An in-
vstigation is in progress here in the
• Ypstofiice branch saving bank, which
has caused some commotion in the
town. Discovery of the fact that tb
ac punts of the depositors were le(
than they should be was what led i
the enquiry and the presence here of
Postofce Inspector H. G. Hopkirk, of
this district. It has been•found that
by forged withdrawal applications the
following sums have been wrongfully
drawn from the accounts of the parties
named: Norman Nicholson, $150; Mal-
colm Nicholson, $150; Alexander Nic-
holson, $200; Miss Macdonald,'$100.
All the pass books of the depositors
have been called in for examination,
and it is thought all the losses have
been discovered.
. CENTS CASH will secure the
NEW ERA on.a trial trip to the
end of the year.

Thursday last, anal was well pleased
with what he saw there, but says he
did not see one half there was to be
seen; he returned with a great deal of
useful knowledge. Rev. Mr Fairburn
occupied the pulpit of the Presbyter-
ian church in this place last Sabbath
very acceptably. Miss Bell Wilson is
out again with her usual smiling face.
Quite a number went to the World's
Fair on Friday last; we hope they may
profit by. -:their . trip._,. It is- getting -
quite popular for our young ladies to
take long walks; one young lady hav-
ing walked,eight miles to meet her lov-

DEATH.—We are exceedingly sorry
to announce the death of Mrs Joseph
Townsend, which occurred at Nesbitt,
Man.,on the 14th inst„ of consumption.
The eceased was the second daughter
of Mr James Landesborough, of this
township, and was only 32 years of
age. She was a'` young woman who
was loved and adrfirred,by all here, and
she carried to her new home in the
West all her amiablity, and her death
is deeply regretted. She was a mem-
ber 01 the Presbyterian church, and
there was no sorrow in her death, except
sadness at leaving two young children.
Her dying testimony was one of abiding
faith in the Saviour. The family here
have the sympathy of all; it is just five
months since Mr Landesborough's son
passed away,, and his great consolation
in these season's of deep affliction and
trial, is the knowledge that they have
(passed triumphant to the better world.
NOTES Messrs W.C. Landsborougb,
John Routledge and Wm. Mavety are
visiting the Columbian Exposition this
week. A young gentleman is very of-
ten seen on Sundays driving in this
neighborhood, evidently seeking some
one, and, although what is thought to
be the object of his search is often be-
fore him, yet he has n�ti the courage

Andrew's church on Sabbath•mornieg.
We inadvertently ne ted to'men-
allot er'Year et a small advhhee in her
glee
tion last week that Rev. D. Forest, of
Walton, formerly pastor here, had oc-
cupied the pulpit of St. Andrew's
church both' morning and evening on
the Sabbath previous.
Taking for his text Romans 6, 2122,
"What fruit bad ye then in these
things whereof ye are now ashamed
&c?" .Rev. Ed. Olivant, on Sabbath
evening,delivered a most impressive
and eloquent'sermon. to a large
congregation.
The annual harvest thanksgiving
service was held in Trinity church last
Sabbath morning, the pastor, Rev. J.
T. Kerrin, officiating. The church was
handsomely decorated with fruit, flow-
ers, grain and vegetablee. the arrange-
ment of which showed the excellent
taste of those. who had the matter in
matter in hand.
WILL.COME HERE.—The Varna cor•
respondent says a number of that
Villa's residents intend taking in one of
the great exhibitions this fall, but are
undecided as yet whether it will be the
World's Fair or the- Bayfield exposi-
tion, on Oct. 4th. We have no fear
as to which will be the choice, as the
Varna people have always been good
choosers and are bound to keep up their
reputation. Of course they'll come
here.
NOTES. -Mr Wm. Spreadbury has
had new sills and siding put on his
house, which greatly adds to its com-
fort and appearance. The first span of
the new bridge is up and looks very
substantial: a few weeks more and it is
expected the work will be complete.
A large crowd attended the meeting
in the town hall on Sunday afternoon
to hear the converted Jewish Rabbi.—
The cider mill commenced for the sea-
son on Wednesday. The fishermen
have all lifted their nets the season,
and are now busily engagedwith pre-

St., Was discovered to be on fire on
Thursday evening, and was saved with
a few pails of water; it was evidently
the work of rascals.
FALL Snow.—The Stanley people
are as energetic as ever in their arrange-
ments for the exhibition on Oct. 3rd
and 4th, and their show here promises
this year to be one of the best yet held.
Several special attractions have been
placed on the bills, which will, no
doubt, make the show more interest-
ing, while the speeding in the ring will
be eagerly looked forward to by all.
Bayfield show bus never yet been ex-
celled in the quality of its fruit and
vegetable exhibit, and we do not sup-
pose is guing to be this year. Fine
weather is all that is desired, as we be-
lieve the Stanley people will always
have a successful show when they say
it shall be so. We hope every inter-
ested party is looking up something to
exhibit to make the show more at-
tractive to visitors.
PERSONAL.—Mise Mary Rennie, who
has been visiting in Seatorth for some
time, returned last week, Mr John
Essen left on Friday on a ten days'

TRAITORS IN CAMP.—There are some 1
people in thisvil!age, ha ppily very few,
whose every effort seems bent on dis-
couraging those who seek. the place's
welfare, whose every aim is to hurt
the place and its business men on every'
occasion, and whose sole ambition
seems to be to degrade their town in
the eyes of fellow -citizens as well as
strangers. They are the. curse�of the
town. They do nothing themselves
and try to hinder others who are doing 1
something. These' are the ones who i
go to Goderich to get their horses
shod, when two of the bestblackgmitha 't
of the county are here at their service, las
and who tell with great gusto that th
Bayfleld merchants; and ,Bayfield
tradesmen are not good enoYigh for'
them. Poor,miserablehypoerites!These
are the , ones who ,stand in a public
place and declare it "sickening" to hear

Surely they are. the pest and caker, to

ever expect to .become' anything,. °we
must be loyal to' our towti, helpi"ng!i<

to put a stop to it. It. is well' known

darkness is s pposed.' to shield them,
and who, owing to 'their
youtb, are cowardly enough to insult
lladfes and clumsy enough always to be
identified. In the factory fire, which.
occurred some weeks ago, the incendi-
ary was not quite so smart as'he
thought he was, and we warn yyou,
boys, that a sharp watch is being kept
just now en your actions, and should
you ever be caught it may mean the
iron bars of the Central . Prison for
some. This is not merely a matter of
individual interest, but one of public
concern. If old buildings are,to be
fired with impunity, how does any
citizen know when his valuable resi-
dence or barns maybe reduced to ashes
for the amusement of unthinking boys,
and if the gardens and orchards of re-
spectable citizens are to be entered
and depleted without an effort being
made to check it, how does any one
know when his till will be forced out
or himself held up and robbed? We
should be sorry indeed to see a Bayfield
boy get six months in the Central
Prison as was the punishment admin-
isted in Stratford not long ago for fruit
stealing, and we warn you again boys,
you're being watched.
BUSINESS BAYFIELD. — We have
much pleasure in placing before our
readers this week four. more of Bay -
field's business enterprises. As was
anticipated, many were surprised at
some of the facts revealed, and we haye
been strengthened in our belief that
there are quite a numbers who have
little idea of the amount of business
done in this little town. It will be our
aim to put the facts before our readers
and let them judge for themselves.
HARRY KEMP.—Mr H. Kemp is
west -ender, who carries on a combina
tion of businesses at his shop in Marks
block. He is a practical watch make
and jeweller, and gets quite a numbe
of clocks and watches, as well as othe
to clean and repair. Mr
Kemp is also a good barber, and is
spoken of by city visitors who summe
here as a clever hand with the razor
He has lately taken the agency for • the
Brantford bicycle, and has sold the
first ladies' wheel in the,,,vil1_agg. Mr
-Kemp is-hrniself'a good rider, anus
the agent of a good wheel will no doubt
sell quite a' number of these popular
vehicles in this neighborhood.
GEO. ERWIN. — Both of Hayfield's
blacksmiths occupy a seat at the coun-
cil board, which attests their populari-
ty among their fellow citizens, and the
live interest they take in public affairs.
Mr Geo. Erwin has been raised to his
business from a boy, and is spoken of
as a first-class workman. We under-
stand that he has been engaged to do
whatever iron work is necessaryon
the new bridge. He 'is always fund
industrions at his trade, and invariably
gives entire satisfaction.

JAMES FowLIE—Bayfield has always
had good blacksmiths, and the farmers
from the surrounding district have
never had cause to grumble about work
done on Bayfield anvils. Mr James
Fowlie has built up a splendid business,
and has one of the best shops in the
county. He is a good sheer, and his
repairs are always neatly done. He is
a thorough Bayfleldite, having been
raised here, and always gives his hearty
co-operation to any movement for the
advancement of the town.
JOHN FRASER.—Abont July 1st, 1890,
Mr J. Fraser became one of Bayfield's
merchants, wen he opened cut with
a stock of groceries, in the store occu-
pied by him, next door to the post of-
fice. It was with the feelings of one
who was making a business venture
the r Fraser came into town,leaving
his eadtiful farm hi Goderich %`wn-
ship, and started in the race for a place
among the stores of this village. So
phenomeual was his success from the
very first, that in a short time his
smallest fears had vanished as shadows,
and his brightest hopes were fully're-
alized. Such was the encouragement
he received, that in three months he
had resolved to enlarge his stock by
the addition of flour and feed and dry
goods. Since that time Mr Fraser has
added hardware, paints, etc., and this
fall has gone more extensively than
ever into crockery ware, rubber goods
and buffalo robes, till now almost -
everything which the customer could
wish is for sale here. This store, ow -
ng to the geniality of Mr Fraser and
his wife, and the intelligent and con-
siderate manner in which they cater to
the public, has won for itself a goodly
share of village as well as country pat-
ronage. Mr Fraser, as a practical
farmer, seems to know exactly the
needs of that elass,who are not slow in
appreciating bis knowledge and experi-
ence. Though doing a good general
business, Mr Fraser has done a very
arge trade in dry geode, and will open
n a few weeks hs fine stock of fall
and winter goods, in. the careful selec-
inn of which, he spent the whole of'
