There passed away at his home inTurnberry, on Tuesday last, one of the early settlers of this locality, Mr. Jas. Nicholson, at the ripe age of 75. Deceased was a native of Ireland, and calve to Turnberry forty years ago, from the township of Clarke. Ile wits a good neighbor, an upright elan and respected by the community. He was a member of L. O. L. 706, and his brethren laid his remains to rest on Thursday. He was identified with the Methodist Church, and in political matters adhered to the Conservative party. He leaves a sorrowing widow, two sons, William and John, and six daughters—Mrs. Geo, Rankin of Wingham, Rosanna, Sarah, lithel, Mildred and Florence. Rev. Geo. Baker conducted the funeral service. Mr, Nicholson was laid aside about fifteen years ago with a paralytic stroke, and during his long illness lie never complained or murmured, but bore it with Christian patience and resignation. The people of this locality were shocked to hear of the sad drowning accident at Wroxeter on Sunday last, in the person of Jos. Casemore, who with his brother was in bathing. The sorrowing relatives have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends, as Joseph was a particularly bright young man and a favorite of all who knew him. The annual picnic held at Mr. A. McIntosh's bush on Wednesday of last week proved a grand success. The weather being all that could be desired. a large number of young and old gathered and certainly enjoyed themselves. A good program was presented, and all were invited to the long tables to partake of the many good things prepared by the ladies of Molesworth and vicinity. A lively football game ended the day's sports. Quite a number from this locality went to Ethel last Wednesday night to hear Rev. Armstrong's farewell ad- dress, which was on music and was excellent indeed, as were the general remarks passed by everybody present. Mr. Armstrong and his people were thoroughly united and to say good- bye was not easy, but as the change was made owing to failing of health only, our sincerest wishes go with he and Mrs. Armstrong that the Southern climate will prove beneficial, and success still be theirs. There was no service held in the, Methodist church on Sunday last, ow- ing to the new minister not having arrived. Mr. Stewart of Bluevale and the Misses Sparling of Brussels were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Leech of town over Sunday. A young man named Joseph Case - more was drowned Sunday morning last at what is known as Day's bridge, a short distance from Wroxeter. Three head of cattle were killed on the railway track about noon on Sun- day, by a freight train, about a mile and a quarter east of Gorrie. It ap- pears that about ten in number had crossed the cattle guards and were eating on the track. The engineer did not see the cattle, owing to a curve in the track, until he was quite close. He immediately put on the brakes, but could not stop the train as it was coming down a steep grade ; the result was, three were killed. More serious damage might have been done as the train might have been derailed. The cattle belonged to Fred Irwin, north-east of Gorrie. ...The... "Little Eaton" Be Up and Doing.

She got on the road and the night train struck her, giving her an ugly cut on the side. She is doing well. The Strawberry Festival and Gar- den Party at the parsonage a week ago was an unqualified success. Ideal weather marked the occasion ; straw- berries and dainty eatables were in abundance, while the S. A. Band dis- coursed sweet music. Too much can- not be said in commendation of the band, both as to quantity and quality of the music. The bazaar was well stocked with fancy and useful articles, all of which were sold, and $114 was realized. •. 7 1 1 GIANT TRfl'LhPs "Currency" "Bobs" and "Stag" Chewing Tobaccoes, in big plugs, Quality always the same.

The greatest buying in the history of Wingham stores. The fact that these stores have lately had two big sales, and have also sold the branch at 'Gorrie, leaves all the best goods to offer the public at this Sale. These goods we are going to put on the market at prices that will move them out quickly. People from a distance of 25 miles will have their railway fare paid on purchases of $25.00 and over. All goods will be marked down. Bargain iiekets will b;, placed in plain view. t 1 Blyth. Mr. Sims of Plattsville and his son are guests of Ex -Reeve Sims. Wm. Johnston has had a new wind- mill erected in the rear of his livery barn. We are sorry to report Mrs. F. Met- calfe very ill, and to hear that little hope is entertained of her recovery. A number of the ladies of the Loyal True Blue lodges of Wingham and Walton attended the celebration here on the Twelfth. The glorious Twelfth was celebrated in royal style here, and several thou- sand people enjoyed the day. The C. P. R. gave good train service. (See report in another column.) Word was received last week of the death of a son of R. J. McGill, former- ly of Blyth. The young man was kill- ed by a construction train. He was a promising young man of 16 years and was employed in the offices of one of the great railways that centre in Chicago. The first regular passenger trains on the Guelph and Goderich branch of the C. P. R. from this point, were run on Monday, July 8th, to Toronto, and were well patronized. Trains from Toronto leave at 6.20 a.m. and 8 p. in., and arrive here at 1.30 and 0.45 p.m. It is certainly quite a convenience to be able to go direct to Toronto, with- out, as formerly, having to go to either Wingham or Clinton, and will be a decided advantage from a shipper's standpoint. Donald Innes and Miss Effie Nicklin of Moorefield visited friends here last Sunday. Mr. Wm. McKelveyis at present visiting at the home of his son, Lorne, in Owen Sound.

It is a mistake for the owner property to think be can sell it as well as an agent can. The agent is in touch with all the prospective buyers in the vicinity, and has an experience in closing sales that is worth to the seller far more than the amount of the commission. Another Mistake. It is, if anything, a greater mistake for a buyer not to come to the Agent, as no agent will list a property if he thinks the owner is asking too much for it; he cannot afford to waste his time trying to get fancy prices. A fair deal to both parties is his motto. He can give the selling prices of all properties that have changed hands for years; he can see that Insurance policies are prop9rly transferred, and he can give the buyer the choice of practically every property for Bale in the vicinity.
