Since then hehas been in a. rather serious condition. Notwithstanding that he was reported dead on two or three occasions, we are credibly in- formed that he is improving as well as mm he expected: a. fracture of the skull and other injuries will naturally ~~~et him aside for some time, but no fears are entertained now regarding his condition. Me. A. S. SMITH of the St. Thomas Journal accompanied by Mr. A. E. Smith and Mr. Chant all of the Rail- way City were visitors in town last week and took a look through the {‘ement Mill in which they have a financial interest. Tney'were evident- ly delighted with what they saw and heard regarding the working of the concern this year. As might naturally be expected from outside stockholders they advocate a low assessment on the plant, but the figure named is not like- iy tn be entertained by the Court of Revision. The newspaper man admits pronounces it away beyond his expec- rations. Never expected to find such a huge affair was the substance of one of his remarks. \VE regret to chronicle the death of .\1 rs. “'11). Allan of Egremont after a lengthy illness and a. period of much pnxiety on the part of friends and rel- ’ntives. Death occurred Monday or “'1; heat that “'11). Smith of Not- munhy has a fish story that has yet escaped the newspapers. He was out with a party after speckled beauties and took a. bag with' him to carry home the catch. He decided to go in- to a little secluded spot by himself and. seated on a log he had great luck put- ting each trout as he took it from the hook into the bag. Other members of the fishing party discovered him after awhile and called to know how he was getting along. He reporteda splendid catch and fished down into his bag to get some of the good ones. when he found the bag had a hole in the bottom of it and the fish he had on his book was the only one he could produce. \Vm. says he would not mind the loss of the fish only he would hate like Hamilton for the darn newspapers to get hold of it. W'e sympathize with Mr. Smith in his misfortune but out of respect for his modesty we’ll say nothing about it. Remember Oddfellows’ Demonstration on June 21.

T HE Garafraxa street bridge is being repaired. New flooring has been put in, and some posts erected to keep the buttments on the west side from sliding out of position. The old bridge is in bad shape. so badin fact, that is seems foolishness to spend much on repairs, and We hope to see in the near future, a new steel structure such as the one on Lambton street take its place. THE broken plate glass in the south window of the store occupied by R. B. Keekle Sons was replaced Ly a. new one on Thursday. A “'RECK on the W. G. B.

FEW men will be more generally missed from the town than Mr. James Carson who has been identified with the place and held prominent positions in Church and state for nearly a gun. per nf a century. He was chief con- stihle here for many years and if at all in error in the discharge of his duties he erred on the side of leniency pre- ferring, if possible, to get along with- out trouble. His family had all grown up and were away, and bereft of his estimable wife only a few weeks ago, he left the town alone and perhaps for- of any serious and undue harshness in the discharge of his duties. He goes to Saskatoon, to be with some mem- ber of his family and we only voice our own feeling and the feeling of the community in wishing him many happy years of life.

Evidently the sporting editor was at the time holding down one endof a "built for two” sofa or else dozing on the lumber pile during the first quarter. He says Durham was playing defence the first quarter; when as a matter of fact, Markdale had scarcely a look-in the first ten minutes. Not content with this he falls back on berating the referee, and telling a few other nice ones to tickle the palates of the homers. He says “ a few little practices like this,” etc., will work wonders for the Aberdeens. \Vell don’t worry over it, there’s a re- turn match coming soon, and by that time Markdale will be in shape.
