It is said the Grand Trunk Railway has purchased the large gravel pits on Harry Duncan's and J. Barr's farms, 4th line, Morris, at a good figure. Men are now busy putting in a switch so as to make easy access to them. If some of the local municipalities made similar deals it might show both wis- dom and foresight. Darling John, he has left us, Left us, yes, forever more ; But we hope to meet our loved one, On that bright and happy shore. This lovely bud, so young, so fair, Called hence to early doom ; Just came to shbw how sweet a flower In Paradise would bloom. 'Em sin could harm or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care ; The opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. He is gone, but not forgotten, Never shall their memory fade ; Sweetest thought shall ever linger, Round the grave where he is laid. —By his cousin, Tessie MacLeod. Belgrave.

We are pleased to see John Stewart around again, although it will be some time yet before he will be able to resume his duties in the blacksmith shop. Corrie. Haying has begun in this vicinity ; the crop is light. A few front this village took in the excursion to Owen Sound on Tuesday last. Dr. Chisholm was in our burg re- cently. He has hosts of friends around Gorrie. Rev. IL W. McTavish, the new pas- tor of the Gorrie and Orange Hill Methodist churches, arrived last week, He comes from Granton and comes highly recommended, Before coming to the London Conference he was sta- tioned at Shelburne and in the city of Toronto. Ile came to the London Conference about nine years ago and " has been stationed in the towns of Blenheim, Dresden and Glencoe, and at Warwick (four years) and the last t o at Granton. It is hoped that his w p pastorate in Borrie will be most suc- cessful. Ile preached his opening ser- mone here on Sunday and made a good impression. West Wawanosh. The telephone has been installed in Dungannon, W, 3, Treleaven, treasurer of Ash- field, has sold his farm to Juo. Blake, of Mafeking,. and will likely settle in Wingham permanently. Miss Carrie McCann, who was in- jured by lightning on June 29th, dur- ing a storm in which the family resi- dence was struck, has now fully re- covered. Geo. F. Denstedt, who bought Jas. Young's store and hardware business at Arthur took possession last Friday. He moved his household effects here from Gorrie last week. All the pupils of Miss Frank Mc- Lean, who wrote at the recent En- trance examination at Lucknow, were successful. Miss McLean's success at these exams. is phenomenal. Mr. Wiggins has installed a system of waterworks on his farm netir Dun- gannon. He has piped the water from a spring opposite his farm across the road, and now has a never -failing supply of water. At a united meeting of Smith's Hill and Manchester Presbyterian congre- gations, held last Sabbath evening, it was decided that they still ask for supply, as it was thought the congre- gations were not decided on giving a call yet. Geo. Orville Durnin, son of William E. Durnin, of Crewe, carried off the Adamsom Memorial Scholarship this year at the Goderich Collegiate. Miss Letitia Durnin's name was in the list of those who were successful at the recent Peedagogy examination at Hamilton. She has since refused an offer of $600 to take charge of a school in Saskatchewan. As per arrangement, the Councils of Ashfield and West Wawanosh met the promoters of the road here in Dungannon on Thursday evening, and jointly considered the proposed by- law. There seems to have been too much haste ;in preparing the by-law for the Goderich guarantee of the Power Co.'s bonds, and it has had to be amended and readvertised, so that the vote cannot be taken on the God- erich by-law until about the 9th of August, and as there are grave doubts whether that by-law will carry, it seems rather unfair to put the Councils of Ashfield and Wawanosh to trouble and expense until it is known whether there is really to be any power to run the road. We think there is no doubt that when it is definitely sure that the Power Co. will develoy the necessary power at Goderich, and that the Rail- way Company are prepared to go ahead at once and build a paying road, the people will be almyst unani- mous in aiding it with all reasonable backing. Invitations received by friends, an- nounce the approaching marriage of mg. Lawson Graham to Miss Minnie Rose, daughter of Mr. Geo. Kelly, of the 8th line, Morris. The wedding is to take place on Wednesday, Aug. 7th, at the residence of the bride's brother, Thos. J. Kelly, at Cypress River, Ilia"n.

Shortreed paid Nature's debt on Wednesday of last week, passing away at his home in Seaforth, where he has resided for the past 3 years, going there when he sold his farm to his son J. W. Mr. Shortreed was 66 years, 4 months and 9 days old. He was born in the township of Esques- ing, Halton Co., and came to Morris 30 years ago when he bought a fine 100 acre farm, Si lot 16, con. 9, owned by the late Jno. Henderson. Mrs. Short - reed's maiden name was Miss Caroline Brodie, of Morris, she and the son mentioned above and an adopted daughter survive. The subject of this notice was a man of industry, sobriety and integrity, esteemed by all who knew him. He was a Presbyterian in religion and a Liberal in politics. r Bluevale. Miss Gardiner of Woodstock is a guest at the parsonage. The next meeting of Turnberry Council will be held here on August 10th. Haying is not a heavy task this year, as the crop is light. The same may be said of oats ; they are short and heading out with very little straw. Farmers will need to econo- mize in feeding this year. The garden party under the auspices of the Methodist Church, on the lawn of Mr. T. Stewart, on Tuesday even- ing, was a success. The ladies made bountiful preparation, and the even- ing was pleasantly spent. The Salva- tion Army Band furnished music and gave good value for the money. They certainly play well, and intersperse the Band music with singing. Jamestown. For Quality and Quantity ask your dealer for the new big plugs of "Bobs" "Stag" and "Currency" hewing To- baccoes.

It is a mistake for the owner of property to think he can sell it as well as an agent can. The agent is in touch with all the prospective buyers in the vicinity, and had 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 ho 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; ho can see that Insurance policies are properly' transferred, and he can give the buyer the choice of practically every property for sale in the vicinity.
