Fruit Reports.
Grapes, a full crop, hut a couple of
weeks late and liable to be damaged
by early frosts. Tomatoes, a full
crop, but late. Berries, peaches,
pears, apples, plums, half a crop.
This is the brief size -up of the fruit
situation given • to The Toronto World
by a number of the principal growers
in the Niagara district. A great
many growers depend to a large ex-
tent upon the tomato yield. This
year's will be heavy, but a long season
is what is needed to get the full bene-
fit, The same applies to grapes.
Their chief danger is the early
frosts.

Do Not Forget.
All fishermen should have fair play,
and it is not fair to those who observe
the regulations, for others to wilfully
ignore them. Of trout, no person
must catch more than thirty, nor over
ten pounds of the fish in weight. Of
bass none less than ten inches must be
retained, nor must any person catch
over eight in number. Some are re-
ported as bringing in great strings of
bass, and some under length. It may
be hard when you catch a bass nine
inches long to have to throw it back
into the river, but there is the law,
and somebody may be caught, either
with more than eight fish, or with
some less than ten inches long. The
Game Warden has heard of some in-
fractions of the law, and it is safer to
observe it, than to run risks,
A Sister Gone.
Mr. and Mrs. John Ritchie of town
were enjoying the lake breezes at
Bayfield, when a telegram reached
them conveying the sad news of the
death of Mrs. Gillett, a sister of Mr.
Ritchie. The deceased lady was the
eldest daughter of the late John Rit-
chie, and will be remembered by
many of the citizens of Wingham.
She was born In Huron county, and
about 17 years ago was united in mar-
riage to Mr. Wilford Gillett of Ober-
lin, Ohio. For the past year or more,
Mrs. Gillett's health had been failing,
and she had planned to soon spend a
month or two in Wingham, hoping
that the change of air would be help-
ful. Brit she grew much worse, until
the messenger came on Sunday last.
She leaves a sorrowing husband but
no children, Three sisters remain—
Mrs. Shipman of Vestal, N. Y., Mrs.
Fisk of Wellington, Ohio, and Mrs.
(Dr.) Pearce of York, Pa. There are
also three brothers, James of Geneva,
George ofane
G see N. Y. and John of
Wingham. The remains were brought
to Wingham for interment on Tues-
day, 23rd inst. The deceased lady
Was a member of the Presbyterian
Church, and was in her 47th year.

Why Not Try This.
The Examiner reports that William
Miles of Poterboro harvested his first
crop of potatoes on June 17th. In do-
ing this Mr. Miles did not throw away
the tops ; instead he merely stripped
the marketable potatoes, re -planted
the vines, and fertilized the ground.
On July. 0th he harvested a second
crop from the same vines. Last year,
the Examiner says, Mr. Miles gather-
ed three pickings from the same roots,
and he hopes to repeat the perform-
ance this year.
A Traveller's Advice.
"My advice to Ontario farmers is to
stay in their own province." This is
said by Mr. Andrew G. Elliott of Galt,
who has ranged over the great west
and seen all that is to be seen, not
from "a car window," but from an
automobile, in which he traversed the
largest estates from end to end. The
roan who is doing well in Ontario is
wisely advised to stay where the is
well off and "hoe it out." If allured
by tales of sudden and great wealth,
he might reflect that only the lucky
ones are heard from, and anyway,
"money is not everything" in this
world."
Wedding Anniversary.
On Friday last, Mr, and Mrs. H. B.
Elliott celebrated the tenth anniver-
sary of their wedding clay. Fine
weather prevailed, and about fifty
guests sat down to tables placed upon
the lawn, and enjoyed the tasty re-
past prepared for the occasion. After
tea, the evening was pleasantly spent
1
social chat,readings,is
music,
etc, The guests brought with them
many presents appropriate for the
tenth anniversary. Many kind hopes
were expressed that Mr. and Mrs.
Elliott may live to celebrate other an-
niversaries. Among the guests from
a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Elliott of Brantford, and Mrs, Gray
of Toronto.
Baseball (fames.
Last week seems to have been an
"off" week for Wingham baseball
players. The seniors went to Palmer-
ston and though they made a good
start and things looked as though
they might even up, the tide turned
against them, bud while searching for
lost balls in the grass the railway
town boys rolled up the big score of
22-11. The Juniors went to Blyth and
lost to the Blyth Juniors by 8 to 4.
Then the Lower Town Rockets shot
off to Lucknow, but exploded before
they beat the Juniors there, and came
home with the doleful tale of 12 to 8
in favor of their rivals. The return
game of Lucknow and the Rockets is
promised on the park on Friday even-
ing.
They are, I understand, giving great
"Snaps" at D. M. Gordon's just now,
in Gem -Jars, Granulated Sugar, Rais-
ins and Currants, fine Cooking Figs (8
lbs. for 25c) and all lines of Canned
Goods.
Get After The Flies.
The housewife does well to continue
to wage war against the common
house fly. Her battle with it is on be-
half of cleanliness, but if she knew
its death -dealing power she would
fight it as she would fight the small-
pox or any other disease. We are
told that the great breeding -ground of
the fly is in the neighborhood of
stables—the eggs being laid in crevices
of the manure. They are hatched in
about 21 hours. The method by
which infection is conveyed by flies is
mechanical—not unlike that of the
inoculating needle. Plague, yellow
fever and cholera have been dissemin-
ated by it, and it is supposed to be
active in spreading diseases of the
eye, fevers and infantile diseases.
The sugar bowl or milk jug into which
they crowd as opportunity offers, are
often poisoned by their presence.
Safety lies in banishing these pests
from the house.
"Cards Of Thanks."
The Mitchell Advocate ato has this to
say about "Cards of thanks": --"The
day is not far distant when "cards of
thanks" will be a thing of the past.
When death enters a home neighbors
never fail to do all in their power to
place a silver lining back of the dark
cloud, and they do not expect or
desire any thanks through the public
press. One subscriber, however, not
to he out -done, sent in the following :
"Mr. Editor—I desire to thank the
friends and neighbors most heartily in
this manner for their co-operation
during the illness and death of my
late husband, who escaped from me
by the hand of death on last Friday.
To my friends and all who contributed
so willingly toward making the last
st
moments and the funeral a success, I
desire to remember most kindly, hop -
Mg these lines will 11 find them enjoying
the same blessing. I have also a good
witch coat and roan gelding, eight
years old, which I will sell cheap.

Wonders to perform. He plants Ills

Monster Rhubarb.
Mr. Tompkins of town has some
mammoth stalks of rhubarb growing
in his garden. One leaf measures 42 -in.
long and 42 -in. wide, and has a stalk
71 -in. in circumference ; the weight is
3y pounds. From the tip of the leaf
to the ground end of the stalk it is
over five feet. Now for the next!
Can anyone beat this ?
To The Ladies.
Some one reports that a very tasty
cake is made as follows :---"Rub two
cups of sugar and one and a half cups
of butter to a light cream ; add three
eggs and beat well ; stir in one and a
half pints of flour, and one and a half
teaspoons of baking powder sifted to-
gether. Add two cups of stoned
raisins, one cup of currants, one and a
half cups each of chopped citron,
lemon peel, chopped and shredded al-
monds, twenty drops of vanilla ex-
tract and one cup of milk. Bake one
hour and a half in amoderate oven.

A Tie For The District.
The final games in district 9, inter-
mediate C. L. A., have taken place
between Wingham and Goderich.
The game at Wingham resulted 5 to 3
in favor of Wingham, and the match
in Goderich on Wednesday of last
week resulted in a win for the Gode-
rich team by the score of 5 to 3. Con-
sidering the hard feeling prevailing
between the two teams owing to the
roughness of the game here, the game
in Goderich was a remarkably clean
one. The referee was Nor. Lambert,
editor of The Mount Forest Represen-
tative, who was a first-class official
and showed that he knew the finer
points of the game, allowing no rough
play to go unnoticed, and penalizing
impartially. In the first quarter
Goderich got two goals, in the second
Goderich scored one and Wingham
three, in the third quarter neither
team scored, while in the last quarter
Goderich bulged the nets twice, mak-
ing the final score 5 to 3. Early in
the first quarter W. Johnston fell and
sprained his knee, forcing his retire-
ment from the game, a Wingham
man going off to even up. Four Gode-
rich players and one Wingham player
were penalized. The tie will be played
off at Clinton in the near future, when
a fast game may be expected.
An interesting Meeting.
The last monthly meeting of the
Wingham Branch of the Woman's
Foreign. Missionary Society of the
London Conference was held at the
home of Mrs. H. Ball. One of the
features of the afternoon was the re-
port of Mrs. W. H. Green, delegate of
the Winghan] Auxiliary to the 13th
Annual Convention, recently held at
Leamington. Mrs. Green presented a
lengthy and interesting report, from
which we glean a few facts, There
were ninety-two delegates present,
and all appeared to be deeply interest-
ed in mission work. An "In Memo-
riamn" service was held, and letters of
sympathy forwarded. After a "Con-
secration" service, the Sacrament of
the Lord's Supper was dispensed,
Greetings were received from the
Presbyterian Church and the W. C.
T. U., also the Mayor and Town Coun-
cilge av words ord of welcome. The
re-
pot -Ls presented showed that there
were now 3988 auxiliaries, au increase
of 36. Fifty-six members had become
life members, and there had been in-
creases in the Easter offering and the
"Rest" fund, A number of very in-
teresting papers were read and ad-
dresses given, Miss Forrest, a re-
turned missionary from China, gave
an account of the work there. The
Convention was much enjoyed by the
delegates, who returned to their
homes, with stronger resolves to for-
ward the interests of the Society.
Mrs. Green's report was much appre-
ciated by the members of the Auxili-
ary. The officers of the Wingham
Auxiliary are : President—Mrs. Well -
wood ; 1st Vice --Mrs. rord ; 2nd ----

Nearly Buried Alive.
One of the men working for W. G,
Gray had an experience one day last
week that he does not care to repeat,
He was loading sand in the pit near
the 0, P. R. when it caved in and
buried him to the shoulders. Mr.
Beemer, C, P. R. agent, and Mr, Gray
went to work with a will and soon
dug him out, not without danger of
the bank falling on them. It was
fortunate some one was near and that
the man was not seriously injured.
An Assistant Gardener.
An agricultural paper says :—"By
actual inspection of a big, fat toad's
stomach, it was found to contain not
less than 50 large grapevine worms, 53
potato bugs, 60 sowbugs, 40 angle-
worms and 30 cabbage worms, with,
by way of seasoning, numerous flies
and mosquitoes, Now multiply this,
and I think you will appreciate the
value of au army of toads on your pre-
mises, or any number required, accor-
ding to the services that may reasona-
bly be expected from one toad."
Local Option Meeting.
As announced by posters and hand-
bills, a meeting was held in the Town
Hall on Thursday evening to discuss
the advisability of entering upon a
Local Option campaign in Wingham.
Upon the platform were Rev. N. Bur -
wash, Ensign Banks and the speakers
for the evening. Rev. H. E. Allen,
pastor of the Baptist Church, pre-
sided. After the Chairman's address,
Mr. 0. Baer favored the audience with
a solo. Mr. John Buchanan was the
first speaker ; he referred to the Act
generally, its difference from the Scott
Act, the spread of the movement, and
its success in Ripley and Owen Sound.
Miss Chisholm then rendered a vocal
selection in her accustomed excellent
style, Rev. Dr. Pidgeon, of Toronto
Junction, was the next speaker; he
gave an excellent address on his expe-
rience in connection with Local Option
in -other places. About one-half of the
Province of Quebec, he said, was
under Local Option. He cited cases
of the success of the Act in Montreal
West and other places where he had
lived, and dwelt at some length with
its success in Toronto Junction, where
from statistics he produced, the work-
ing of the Act had proven most satis-
factory, by growing prosperity among
business men, increased value of pro-
perty, greater productiveness, and
larger savings among business men.
Dr. Pidgeon considered that even an
unsuccessful campaign was not lost
labor, for it had an educative force.
The meeting closed by singing the Na-
tional Anthem, after which those in-
terested remained for organization.
The meeting could scarcely be consid-
ered representative, even of the Chur-
ches, and it is evident that a great
deal more interest would have to be
aroused before those behind the move-
ment could hope for success.
Dr. Nelson Tait of 49B Spading Ave.,
Toronto, will be at the Queen's Hotel,
Wingham, on Friday, July 27th,
