Fine weather for seeding. Some are done a while ago, while others are only commencing. Rain is need. ed as the ground is getting rather dry and hard. Mr. and Mrs Hugh Mcueau ana son. who spent. the most of the win- ter t. the old home here. left for their home in Montana a couple of weeks ago. The farmers are busy at ROger McPhwhern’s burn and will have it ready for raising in a week or so. Alt-x. McLean. of Swinton Park. had the Cuntract of moving Mrs. Chas. McDonald’s house which she bought recently from Ed. Harrison to her own place. It took the most of a week to move it a quarter of a mile or so. ., Mrs. Malcolm McMillan is suffering with hemorrage of the nose. She is attended by Dr. Dixon, of this place. The Glenelg Assessor requests us to return his thanks on his behalf to the good people of Glenelg for their kindness and hospitality to him while performing the duties of said office. And he further says that although the residents of Glenelg, as a whole, are not possessed with an over-abun- dance of the wealth of this world, yet they are in possession of some- 6h. grander, that is the spirit of We are sorry to chronicle the death of Mr. and Mrs. Donald McDougall’s little boy some three weeks ago, aged about. 7 months. e Mn. James McDonald moved to her own place a few weeks ago. The old lady prefers living alone in , her own house rather than to be away with others. 'l‘hos. Fiaher has been suffering the most of spring with inflammation of the eyes and was unable to do any work during that time. Fine weather for visitors to come out at nights and have an enjoyable evening. and perhaps morning before getting home. Arch. McDonald (John’s) is away down to the lower part of the country where he intends to spend the sum- mer months. Our highway is not so well travel- led since a certain young man left for other parts. but there are lots left to fill the vacancy caused by his departure. Teacher Dixon will hove no less than six pupils up for entrance in July next. Mr. Dixon has been very successful in the past. and we have no doubt but he will be successful this time again. Duncan McDonald and Jack Mc- Lean left for Duluth last week where they intend to spend the summer be- Iore returning. and Mrs Hugh McLean and -.y and kindness. Top Cliff. A number from this locality at. tended special Court at Owen Sound last, week. It is nice to he courting, but. not. profitable under all circum- stances. The school entertainment held late- ly in Priceville deserves much credit to the promoter, Mr. Eastman, Prin- cipal of Priceville school, for the manner he took in preparing for the said concert. It was one of the best ever held in Priceville. \Ve are sorry to hear of our good Township Clark. J. S Black, having so much trouble with outside family sickness recently. but hope to hear of better results soon. If all church members were as faithful as Mr. Henry Hannam. of Proton. our pews would not be so vacant every Sunday. Mr. 'rIannam has 12 or more miles to go to Pomona Catholic church. and he is always past our residence at HzilO on his way to the sanctuary. Mr. James Whitmore was the first to finish seeding in this burg. He is always to the front. the field following up his team. The south line probably never be- fore experienced so much sickness as at the present time. After going over an unusual large number of sick patients in our last week’s budget we omitted to announce that a little daughter of Mr. Anthony Lawrence’s has also been under the Dr.’s care for some time. She is recovering slowly. Although there has been considerable sickness. we are pleased to say that there has been no fatal results, and most of them are being restored to their usual health and activity. Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Watson visited the former’s brozher, W. R... on Sun- day: Talk about hard working young men. but Mr. Will Jacques has been seeding on his vacant. farm here for the past week, and half past five o’clock in the morning finds him in the field following up his team. We very much appreciated the Corner Gander’s lift last week in helping us outwith our news, but really we thought the Gander’s mind had got drifted away down so near to Cement Lake that he would never again bother his head about the hap- penings of this place. But, say Mr. Gander. should the water supply in Cement Lake become exhausted just slip across to Spring Bank, as the springs and creeks here are unlimito ed. If you only once got a smell of them. Mr. Gander. your already ex- ceedingly bright looking feathers would cast a radiant glow for all time to come. Mr. James Whitmore purchased a new tap buggy from one of your town agents lately. Spring Bank. -0.0’Q “ Mither has gane!” Touchingly tender and sad these words in the dialect so dear to Scottish hearts. Those three words brokenly spoken told of a home saddened, hearts griefstricken and a love of nearly half a century bereft of its dear one. Mrs. Richard Jack “slipped awa” very suddenly at 2 o’clock on Thurs- day last. Just three weeks ago she was stricken down with an attack of heart failure, but rallied in a few minutes and appeared to be her old self again. However, medical aid was summoned and gave commands for absolute rest and quiet. Miss Sarah came home from Toronto and gave her every attention. It was thought she would linger most of the summer. but the end came very unexpectedly, yet most calmly. She died as she had wished. And thus a pioneer mother of deep. practical ' piety. a mother of untiring industry, neatness and strict integrity, a help- er in every good cause and a neighbor] beloved and respected has gone from our midst. Deceased’s maiden name was Agnes Hastie, aunt to the Hastief family of this place. and was born; Nov. 3rd, 183:2, in Roxburghshire, in. the “ Lovely Lowlands” of Sectland. In January 1856 she wedded the love of her youth, and the bond has gro avn stronger and deeperâ€"-a perfect union of hand and heart. She was looking forward to the celebration of their Golden Wedding, but such was not to be. To them were born three sons and four daughters, all of whom are living. are doing well. and are sons and daughters of whom any parents might well be proud. All were pres- ent at the last sad rites. It has been remarkable that sickness was un- known in the family. and this is the first "vacant chair” in the home. The members of the family are.â€" Mrs. Neil Mclieclinie and Mrs. Alex. Rutherford, of Durham; Tom. living over the road from the old home; Samuel, moulder. of Brantford; Mrs. Henry \Villiams. Edge Hill; and [Miss Sarah and Will, on the home- stead.

A. Memory Picture-.It was long ago A little chap, with an older sister. was berry-picking. The day was hot and thirsty. On their way home the children called into a home for a drink. It was a cottage. white and neat. within and without. Flowers bloomed all about the door and clam- bered the walls. The mother of the home cheerily bade them welcomo The big knife soon cleft the snow- white loaf. Plentifully was the but- ter from the cool cellar spread over the long slices. Bowls of sweet milk slaked the thli-sty throats. lt tasted so good and so sweet. As the buy. now older grown. looked down into the placid {ace of the dead on Satur- day. it all came back. His heart was full. Deeds of kindness never die. Mrs. Peter O'Neil has been in ()wen Sound for some time in attend- ance on her daughter, Lizzie.

Mr. Abel Wright is back on his farm and is busy building a house on it He will soon be turning out the shingles. Over half of our farmers finished seeding last week, the earliest in the history of the locality. Mr. Robt. Jardine is somewhat unwell of late, but we true: he soon may be his old Vivacious self again and able to denounce evil in political circles. To Mr. and Mrs. James Nvlson, on Friday night. a second daughter was given Congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Jack returned to their home in Brantford on Monday afternoon. Messrs. Neil McKecbnie and Alex. Rutherford. sons-in-law of deceased, Mrs. Jack, attended the funeral on Saturday. We noticed, also. J. P. Hunter and Mrs. Geo. Whitmore, of Durham. _ Mrs. C. L.

Last {all he met with a somewhat serious accident by falling from a ladder in his. own barn. He never fully recovered from the shock although at times able to go about. Over eighty years ago he was born in Lanarkshire. Scotland, and at the age of eight years came with his par. ents to this country and settled in Montreal. At the age of nineteen years- he engaged in railway con struction and was asuccessful con- tractor. His last work in that line was the construction of the Durham branch of the (:‘r. ’I‘.

Pimples, Blotchea and Skin Eruptions.
