PeenSONAL.—Mr J. E. Bryant, of the
:Bryant Publishing Co., Toronto, made
• a hurried call on "old friends here Iasi
week; Mr Bryant was at one time
connected with Minton High School,
he found several of his old pupils here;
a,ll grown. to man's and woman's estate,
an expressed himself as 'particularly

s'venieg. While the mile race promis-
es to be very fast and will be contested
by riders from Goderich, Bayfield and
".; Hensall, the boy's race, with 10 start-
ers will be too good to miss. Races
start at 7.15:
SUNDAY WHEELING.—This, from an
--exchange, contains considerable truth.
ee While we don't see any great harm in
taking a short run on a wheel on the
'Sabbath day, we must enter our protest
.against! vvbat is becoming too com-
;nnnon -x, Ing against time. If the law
does noreach such cases an Act should
be passed making such Sabbath dese-
crationspt*nishable by fine. It is little
better than horseracing, and should
be stopped at once.
DELAYED SCHOOL FUND.—In a cir-
culer"issued by the Education Depart-
ment, dated June 12th, the CountyPub-
` lio:School Inspectors were directed to
apportion the Legislative School grant
as early as possible in June. Acting un
this order, the grant was apportioned
0n June 23rd, so that in many cases the
teachers would get the grant before va-
;taction, but owing to neglect some-
"twhere, the necessary funds have not'
ee yet been received by the township
';treasurers.
;:THE APPLE Ceoe.-Apples are so
.plentiful a crop in Huron - and other
western counties that it is feared
there will not be enough to han-
dle them at the opportune momerit.
Mr D. Cantelon estimates„ that there
will be,at'east 500,000 barrels in Huron
alone, with similar quantities in other
counties. It will require a pretty good
staff of men to handle these when piek-
ing commences, .and the European
steamers cannot take more than forty
,orfifty thousand barrels a week; the
probabilities are that prices will be
"about 50c per barrel.
N8w TIME' TABLE.—A new railway
time table went into operation on
Monday, 22nd, by which several impor-
tant changes take piece. The follow-
ing will show the new and old time:—

Ta LES.—Vegetation is looking ex-
ceedingly well, as ,the result of .recent
showers. Considerable new hay has
alreadybeen marketed. We are in the
second half of 1800. Council will meet
next Monday evening. On Wednes-
day of :last week the Globe was in such
great demand that not a surplus copy
could •beobtained at the book -store,
and one of the clerks jocularly remark-
ed that "everybody's a Grit to -day, for
they want the Globe.' Whether the
:Weather suits or not, you will have

DOMINION DAY CONCERT.—Miss Mc-
Whinney, her vocal pupils, and her
band of boys, have every reason to
feel grateful for the large and evident.
ly appreciative audience that thronged
the hall last Wednesday night, and
the audience was manifeatly delighted
with the varied and novel entertain
went given. Clinton talent was
strongly represented, and reflected
credit on the town, the teacher and
themselves. Thanks are especially due
to Miss Oliver, of St. Marys, whose
rich voice and dramatic talent was
whole-heartedly laid out to make the
concert a complete success. Also to
Miss Chisholm, of Wingham, whos
Skylark song and Irish love scene were
inimitably rendered. Mr Fry, of
Mitchell, is also entitled to thanks; his
fine baritone voice constituted a spe-
cial feature of the concert, in his ren-
dering of "The Norman's Tower," and
was coupled with power of expression
of no ordinary description; his part in
the Irish love scene was splendidly
sustained. "Ye olde folkes in theyre
Sunday clothes,' was truly a sight
worth seeing, and the jollity of that
gathering of cousins was decidedly
catching, and heartily shared by the
audience. And what shall we say of
the "child elocutionist," Miss Flossie
Hughson ? Her vivid personifying of
er different characters, rapidly chang-
g in speech and action, according to
cumstancea, her impassioned ges-
es, and the splendidly sustained
or of the "Military Steeple Chase,"
ark her as possessing remarkable
r and most judicious training.
