Hall will arrive. The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church have had the handsome pipe or- gan cased, which we think adds very much to its appearance and makes the job complete.

At a meeting held at the residence of=Mr. Mc=' Kee last week, it was decided to pur- chase new chairs and carpets for the parsonage, and to build a new kitchen if the Trustees aro willing to do their share. It is a good thing to have an ac- tive Ladies' Aid in connection with a church. The German Medicine Co. played to poor houses here last week, and failed to carry out their agreements. Tho prize to the most popular baby was withheld and a week's rent of the hall did not materialize. Our ever faithful caretaker mourns the flight of the Medicine men, Some time early on Monday morning they had a rig come over from Wroxe- ter and took themselves and baggage to Wingham; they must have had a key to fit the lock in the door of the Town Hall, for that is the way the baggage was got out. A warrant has been placed in Con- stable McGrath's hands for their appre- honsion. The caretaker says that the next gang that gets into that hall with- out first paying the rent is a good one, and we believe him. Miss Strong of Fordwich visited her sister, Mrs. R. McMichael.
