Mr. David Smith. of Ellice. has sold his farm to his brother-in-law Mr. John McEwan for the sum of $9,500.

Confirmation services were held in the Lutheran church on 'Sunday last when eight candidates were con- firmed by Pastor Heugli. The morn- ing services were conducted in Ger- man while the services of the after- noon were in English. The church was crowded to its fullest capacity at both services. The season, motwithstanding the amount of wet weather, seems to bv favorable to horticulture. Mrs. A Huggins has at present growing in her garden a fine crop ofraspberries and strawberries. A Jume rose busb has again~ burst into bloom, The berries have matured and are quite large and plentiful. Mr. G. Weber received word the other day to the effect that the barn belonging to his brother on the old homestéad in Wilmot township had been burned to the ground witH the season's crop and a mumber of im- plements.

It is expected that phones will be installed. and the sys- tem in operation by December lst. This mode of tnain despatching will have an advantage over the tele- graph system in that trains will be equipped with apparatus which cap be connected with the line in cases of emergency. Anniversary services were held in the Methodist church on Sunday last when Rev. J. W. Baird. of Mitchell preached two very able and interest ing sermons. The response to the cah to wipe the debt off the church was very handsomely responded to by a contribution of $750. This will enable the managing board to wipe out the debt on the chureb and the pleasant duty of burning the mortgage wil) fall to the pastor Rev. A.

De- sirous of getting to Listowel and un- able to get the fagged mag any fur- ther they appropriated a horse inthe hotel shed here that belonged to Mr. Henry Riehl. The boys being tired fell asleep and the horse left to guide himself headed for home. The owner missing the animal telephoned home to find out if it had returned and was informed that it had with two boys asleep in the buggy. They were! apprehended by Mr. Robt.

According to the report of Gover- mor John Cook. it only cost 11 cents ver day each to maintain the 105 pris- oners at the county jail during the past year.
