He says “crops there have suffered badly from frost, but tne people are not discourag- ed as they expect such things once in a. while.” MR. THos. GRAY, a well-known residenc of this town many years ago. is visiting friends in the vicinity of Varney at present. l-lis present home is somewhere in the States, but we know not where. He came unawares, and before making himself known, he purchased the old homestead for the sum of $5000. The deal was closed so easily that the present owner felt sorry at not having asked more money It was a huge ioke for Tom, hut the deed hasn’t yet been executed. It is said to be 35 years since Mr. Gray left here. and no one knew him when he. returned. Of course he didn’t buy it. AF'I‘E ~: :1 painful illness from cancer Mr. Johii McArthur, of Aberdeen, was relieved from his suffering by death on \Vcdncsday morning. The awful character of such a. dreadful disease, and the usual manner in which it eats its way leads one almost to rejoice that I his troubles are at an end. though the] family and bereaved ones have our sincere sympathy in their affliction. From our earliest boyhood we have! always had a horror of cancer, and when it reaches the incurable stage it seems a relief to learn that the pati- ent’s trials have been brought to an end. \Ve assure our readers it is through no unkind spirit that we write thus. The deceased was fifty- four years of age and seemed to us to be a man of kindly disposition, but we knew very little of him personally- ‘Ve shall give an obituary next week if some of the friends will be kind enough to furnish a. few particulars. A COUPLE of weeks ago we informed our readers that Mrs. Beggs had gone to Merlin, County of Kent, to see her aged father who was seriously ill and not expected to recover. At the same time two of her brothers went: there on the same mission, but, they left shortly after when the old gentleman showed signs of improvement, since then one of the brothers died, and Mrs. Beggs mother became 111 and regained the attention of her daughter." Now as a. climax to her great trouble, MI'S. Beggs is called home to \vait. on One of her daughters who. has been taken down with typhoid. Surely Mrs. Beggs has to bear an 0verfl0<viug cup of sorrow. . Her first husband died of pneumonia, a. number of years ago; her second huSkand, Mr. Beggs died from a. similar cause, and abaut three years ago she lost a. son just growing mto manhood and now she is again .eaglledf‘upon to endure another measure of sorrow.

KENNY, A LARGE plate glass in front of Keelers‘ Jewellery Store was broken a few nights ago, evidently by a. stone thrown carelessly. ,One of those large plates cost forty or fifty dollars or more, and strict measures should be adopted to prevent such destruction. Mr. Morlock has just replaced it simi- lar plate that was broken only a. short time ago. OXE of the most contemptible mor- tals on earth is the man who writes an anonymous letter and sends it through the post to express dislike or hatred. \Vhen you have anything to say about a person you will be a thousand times more respected to tell it to him right out. You may be laboring under a false impression which can be righted more easily and more surely by a face to face discussion. The other fellow _ will have more respect for you, and if ' you have any sense left you will have more respect for yourself. If you haven’t the courage to come out like a man chase yourself off into some back field and hide yourself from civ- ilization. A SAD affliction has fallen upon Mr. Alex. McDonald of this town in the loss of his little daughter, Martha, who died on Friday night last, at the age of eight years, nine months and twenty-eight days. It is only a few months since the little girl was bereft of her mother and since then she has been giving with her uncle and aunt-,4 Mr. and Mrs. E. T. MsClocklin.

BORN. at The \Vnrld’s Fair at Holstein was 1 held (m Tuesday last, and the elements 3 t” were all that could be desired. . Like all its prwlwcessors the fair was honor- 13, ed with a large attendance and a fine Class of exhibits. In horses and cattle and sheep the residents of Egremont take an interest always. This year was no exception to the general rule, and the many exhibitors brought out ° - the very best of the year’s productions. 5h- zie The World’s Egremont Agricultural Society Score Another Victory. The ladies have still an interest in i ladies’ work, and the big exhibit for a 3 country fair speaks well for the fair sex, who are evidently experts infancy work and cooking. The floral exhibit 1 was good indeed for a country show, and a purely agricultural affair at that. This is one of the few township shows where an effort has always been made to have an agricultural exhibition 1 along agricultural lines only. The attendance is always good though no special racing events or other attrac~ ‘ tions have ever been engaged in. In years gone by there used to be some boisterous times in the afternoon, evening and night of fair day, but Holstein is now a local option village, which may to a large extent account for the quietness of the annual fair day. However it may be in other places the “dry” character of the town does not seem to have the effect of keeping the crowd at home. The hungry crowds were served at the Hotel where good clean hot meals were served up by Mr. O’Neill, his estimable helpmate and his courteous assistants, and in addition to this the churches as usual served refreshments on their own premises. No one had any need to go hungry where every- thing Was served up so plentifully and at a very nominal charge. Fair Weather and a Large Crowd. The directors and society officers were extremely courteous in the dis- charge of their duties, and distinguish- ed visitors to the Fair, such as the judges and newspaper editors, were well looked after. Being located as it is, Holstein is always well attended by representatives of the press from Mt. Forest, Ayton and Durham. The fair coming so soon before press days gives us a, poor chance to furnish many points of information that would be of interest; to many, but we’ll do the best we can.
