§The Big Store 35' §Wool Season is now With us: 5' Nothing Succeeds Like Success Caz-load Best Portland Cement. ......... WE SEll THE FAMOUS HAPPY THOOOHT HAHOES HOW. Our Mr. Theobald is kept busy in this department making up builders' supplies. Our Hardware Sales have more than doubled under the new management, simply because it’s so convenient for our customers to buy everything they require in one store. Have one account and deal with one merchant. We take your Eggs, your Butter, vour Wool, Fowl, etc. in exchange for Hardware. We claim it’s an advantage for you. Think it New Stock Pure Wool Blankets, Pure \Vool Yarns, and Pure Wool Sheeting. Where you get your goods at honest prices. Don’t be led astray by merchants who offer 25 per cent. nore in goods than in cash. That’s a hook to get your trade. Fancy the profit he must have on his goods if he can afford to throw 25 per cent. ofl‘ the price of goods for the sake of handling your wool. If you don’t want to deal all of your wool out with us the day you come in, a good plan is to take a due bill for the balance and trade it out some other time. Our Hardware Dept. Booming This is a true saying. We notice in our business that the public like to deal where they meet all their friends, and where the crowd deals. At this store you will always find us busy, and if you take notice everyone of our customers goes out happy. We have the stock to do the business on. We have the store to do business in. We have cus- tomers to do business with. “ COME WITH THE CROWD TO THE BIG STORE.” SELL : YOUR : WOOL PORTLAND CEHENT. J. A. HUNTER. ...... $2.65 per barrel. He set in his door at noonday, look. ing both lonely and sad. The flies were buzzing around him, led by e blue-winged god; not a oreeture darkened his portal not a sign of business was there. but the flies con- gtinue to buzz and buzz around the old men’s hair. He at last in his misery shouted “Greet Scott. I’m covered with flies.” and the zephyrs thet toyed with his whiskers said. ‘° Why don’t you edvertise ?” Qt. A good story is told of e gentlemen from Merkpele who bed never stop- ped e his modern hotel until he Vie.- ited Toronto recently. After going Durham and Hanover, two teams competing for intermediate (.3. L. A. honors, played an exhibition game of lacrosse at Durham on Victoria Day. when the aggregation in the embryo cement town. defeated the boys of this place by ascore of 9 to 1. If the above statement exactly showed the ability of the two teams when play- ing at their best, the outlook for the local lacrosse team would be far from bright. The score, however. was scarcely a criterion of the play, and there is considerable hope for the be- lief that the Hanover team will give them a very much difierent argument when they line up again. The per- sonnal af the Durham team is a very good one, and the Durham sports whose number is legion will put up a red hot fight for championship. Of the collection five are wringers, namely, Dave \mGler, who plays point; Matheson, a Clinton star who plays cover point; Dayment, anotherl Clinton man of repute ; Theobald. one of Mt. Foresr.’s swiftests seniors last season, and Jordan, another Mt. . Forest man. The Durham team also comprises some excellent plavers. among whom the best are “ Dug ” 'Munro. McCracken, McIntyre and Collison. The strongest player of the Durham twelve is \Ves. Theobald. ,While he plays too much of an in. dividual game to be at home with the best company of to-day, he can feed a home to the king’s taste. Of Dur- ham’s new men Winkler is probably the next best. “ Dug ” Munro plays a dashing spectacular article. and his work is also effective Of the Han- over team individually we reserve comment until the non match. They were far from being in shape for the game. physically and otherwise. The defence pint up a plucky fight, but their tactics will have to be improved upon. The home department was deo cidedly off color. It is reasonably certain, however. that the twelve who will line up with Mt. Forest on the 13th of June wil be immeasurably stronger in every way than the boys who went down to defeat at Durham on Saturday. -Hanover Post. +++ The sporting critic of the Owen Sound Times sizes up the lacrosse situation in this district in the fol- lowing style: A closer study of the lacrosse situation leads more than ever to the conclusion that the inter- mediate championship will come this year to the district comprising Han- over. Durham. 3”. Forest and Owen Sound Hanover is a dark horse. The one who imagines that the Han- over dozen are a weak hunch is away out. They have good players there, and above all they are practising morning, night and noon. According to a straight tip from a man who has fondled a lacrosse stick for 15 years. Hanover has a very strong dozen. and they will fight for the champion- ,ship from the drop to the bonnet. ‘Durham has a team that will do ,Cementville credit. and will make their opponents look as wise as owls. They have so much senior league 1 Hi- I l ‘ chills down one’s back to contemplate what may happen before the finish. Mt. Forest looks to be the toughest F proposition on form. A lacrosse town, where lacrosse men have been cradled since the evolution of a la- crosse stick from an Indian chop stick, they play the game down Mt. Forest way more as a sort of idle amusement. Mount Forest lacrosse team in their palmy days would play lacrosse with an opponent much the same as a cat plays with a mouse. E Mount Forest is a senior league town but this year they are looking for 51 something easy. They have seven (3 senior players, and the other five are c. promising juniors who have played u all their lives with senior men. E Mount Forest is stroll". Owen Sound 11 has a very passable outfit. They are 6 all gsod lacrosse men, and with two cl or three exceptions are home brewed a material. The team has a stronger C defence than last year, and the home is ahundred per cent ahead of the 1901 team. They are fast enough to give the other fellows a game, and perhaps they are fast enough to win. N THE OPENING GAME TAKES PLACE IN HANOVER TO-NORROW. The opening game in District No. 4, Intermediate series, will be played in Hanover on Friday, June 13th, h tween the Lornes of Mt. Forest and the home team. Hanover will put up a plucky fight on this oc- casion for supremacy. Ht Durham and Owen Sound will clash together on June 18th in the latter town. Owen Sound claims a fast aggregation and as our boys are in great form a good swift game is assured to lovers of the game. Lacrosse Notes. HITS AND KISSES.

CHRONICLE : The preacher may preach, the news- paper 118.30!) and entreat. and the old women pray and exhort. but young men will continue to get drunk and commit other social sins just so long as the young womenâ€"their sweet- heartsâ€"tolerate it. When we hear of a young man making a shameful exhibition of himself at a social func- tion, of course, we pity the poor, weak little fellow, but have no sym- pathy whatever for the woman who has been humiliated by his conduct. unless she manifests that righteous indignation and asserts her self-re-; spect by refusing to recognize him orl have anything whatever to do with him until hehas shown himself to be worthy of it. It all rests with the women of the country. They have it as they will. If the silly, flippant creatures would only do it. they could at least make the young men restrain their passions and brutal appetites while in their presence so as to conform to the rules of decent society. But there are so many so- ciety girls of to-dav who would re- ceive attention from anything just so long as it has the appearance of a lman. Anything. good Lord. apair uof breeches. a little hair on the end of its neck parted in the middle, breath like the efl‘iuvia from a fester- ing beer keg. brainless as a baseball and eyes like a rotten persimmon is better than nothingin the estimation of these little things who are to be unworthy mothers of a sorry part of the next generation. It is really a serious matter to contemplate. and it is enough to make the gods weep, if weeping could do any good. But of course, weeping could do no good, unless tears enough could be shed to produce a flood that would drown all of these little human worms. And that would not be possible unless you tied a rock to each one of them for I their heads are so much like a circus balloon that they would float like a” A bubble. The report has reached as of a good joke on a. young man who resides not a thousand miles from here, who went to Owen Sound last week, and decided to surprise his wife by reâ€" turning home in' a new suit of clothes. When he leached the bridge at the Rocky he halt3d and pulled 03 his old duds and cast them into the waters. Then he reached for his new suit, but it wasn’t where he had left it. Grouping under the seat in vain with the feeling of a manwho has act on the wrong train, it began to dawn on him that the bundle had joltad out of the buggy. Luckily it was dark. He drove home and his \Vlfe was surprised. Alarming news comes from Strat- ford, says an exchange, to the effect that an outbreak of hog cholera near that city is Spreading.
