MOCK NOMINATION Lawn Social at Dominlonville a Splen-

did Success.

The members o£ the Dominionvilie and Apple Hill Literary and Debating Society are the recipients of well me- rited congratulations on the success which attended their efforts on Tues- day evening of this week, when they held a Lawn Social and Mock Nomina- tion on Mrs.B. Mansell’s lawn at Dom- inionvilie.

The clerk of the weather was on his best behavior and furnished an ideal night, the moon adding the effulgence of its rays to illumine the tastefully arranged grounds, which were pro- fusely decorated with flags, bunting and evergreens.

That the attendance was large, may be learned from the fact that the gate receipts were some $67. This, in ad- dition to what was taken in at the two refreshment booths, presided over by charming young lady members of the society, netted a considerable sum, and will, we understand, be the nest- egg for a building fund for a hall.

One of the features of the program- me were the instrumental selections by the Citizens’ Band of Alexandria, under Prof. Hyde. The boys did tliemselves proud and gave entire satisfaction both as to the quality and quantity of music dispensed.

The chair was occupied by A. M. Campbell, Esq., who discharged the duties of that office in his usual happy and able manner.

The programme was varied and pre- sented several novel features, which did not in the least detract from, but rather increased its interesting nature. Impromptu speeches were delivered by J. T. Schell, M.P., A. Gi. F. Mac- donald and T. W. Munro. Tliese were domplimentary in tone and congratu- lated the society on its continued suc- cess. , Several vocal selections were admirably rendered by members of the choir, while Miss Rebecca Conroy gave a well selected recitation. Pipers J. A. Stewart and Jas. R. McNaugh- ton delighted the audience by the ren- dition of Scottish airs on I lie pibroch, \ybile Miss Gretta and M(is! i- H. Mc- Inthsh received a well mci ii li encore after their piano and viuliu d uct.

The principal feature of the even- ing’s piDgramme, however, was the Mock Nomination. The whole was a clever and well thoughtout caricature of recent political events in Glengarry. The several participants displayed a very considerable amount of oratorlbal ability—their local hits being particu- larly well received.

Those who took part in this item were, A. MePhadden, Liberal candi-

jdate; Jno. D. McRae, Conservative Candidate; Jno. C. Christie, ex-M.P.P.; and H. Legault, cx-Speaker of the Legislature, who .iddressed the elec- tors in French.

The gathering hnike up shortly after midnight, all being Lhoroughly well pleased with the evening’s entertain- ment.

BAND CONCERT The Citizens’ Band Delights Large

Audience.

The weekly band concerts are be- coming very popular. OnFriday even- ing last, a large audience greeted them and cordially received the several selections rendered.

The spectators form a cosmopolitan gathering. The urchin forgets for the time being the dog and the tin can. John and Mary, while drinking in the soul-stirring strains, leave ‘themselves open to an attack from* Cupid’s darts, while the matron and her dignified worse half relegate to the ream of for- getfulness the cares and worries of this weary bourne.

True these musicialcs are deserving of patronage, for they are an oasis in the desert of discord.

We regret very much that the fol- lowing account of a Lancaster Town- ship wedding was inadvertently de- layed in transmission.—Ed. News.

McGilli- vray, Jr., of Alexandria, while Miss Bertha Morrison, sister of the bride, made a charming bridesmaid.

After the ceremony, which took place at the residence of the bride’s father, the happy couple left on their honeymoon, which was spent in Bos- ton and Lowell.

Remembered the Ladies.

The directors of the Central Canada Fair, in their many arrangements for the improvement and success of their great show at Ottawa, have not for- gotten the ladies this year. Glass cases of various kinds, all calculated to display the article exhibited to the veiy best advantage, have been secur- ed in large numbers so that every piece of ladies’ work that will be displayed at the show' in August this year will be under glass.

The ladies will appreciate this move.

AU REVOIR. Farewell Party Tendered the Misses

AVilson, of Denver, Col.

On Friday evening of last week, some fifty of our young people gather- ed in MacL^ren Hall to bid a formal farewell to the Misses Wilson, of Den- ver, Colorado, who were for some weeks the guests of their uncle, J. Lockie Wilson, Esq.

The hall was prettily arranged for the occasion and all spent an enjoy- able time. •

During the evening refreshments were served.

While in town the Misses Wilson, who left on Saturday evening on their homeward trip, made many friends in town who will always be pleased to welcome their return.

SOCIAL SUCCESS.

Dr. and Mrs. K. McLennan Entertain.

On Wednesday evening, the residence of Dtf.K. McLennan, Elgin St, West, was the scene of a bappy event, when the Dr. and Mrs. McLennan entertained a party of young friends at a progressive enobre party. At the ooncinsion of the games, in which much friendly rivalry was displayed, it was found that Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Macdonald had won the king and qneen^ prize.

Music, dancing and refreshments also contributed to the success of what was altogether a very pleasant eveniug.

WELL ATTENDED.

Exhibitions by Pan-Amerioan Carnival Co. Well Attended.

On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week, the Pan-American Carnival ' Co. appeared, nnder the anspices of the Citizens’ Band, before good bonses.

The programme presented by this company introdaces snffîcient novelty to make the entertainment one of continued interest. Their presentation of moving pictnres was splendid, and depicted in a realistic manner sneb memorable scenes as those attendant on the recent éruption of Mount Peelee.

During the entertainments J. Woodall Oliver, of New York, sang several songs in good voice, while the band rendered several appropriate selections.

Altogether the evenings were a snocess both from a financial and entertainment standpoint. /

Farmer’s Excursion.

The Ottawa Experimental Farm to be Visited by Glengarry Agrioultur-

iits on Tbnrsday, August 7th. W

The attention of the readers of the News is drawn to an advertisement, appearing in another column, which gives full partieo* lars relative to the Farmers’ Excursion to the Ottawa Experimental Farm, on Thursday, August 7tb, over the Canada Atlantic, which by the way is being operated nnder the united auspices of the Agricultural ^-and Farmers’ Institute Societies respectively, of this County. Kealizing the advantages to be dérived from a visit to the Experimental Farm, of^ those whose tastes lie in that pursuit, we sincerely hope the people of Glengarry will keep the date open and thus take in the excursion. Full particulars next week.

Increasing Trade. Bovines «Toin the List of Customers.

That merit wins, is testified to by the faot that our enterprising grocers, John Boyle apd H A Miller who are over wide awake to meet the requirements of their many customers, are constantly adding to their already long list of patrons.

On Wednesday evening, a quadruped of of the bovine persuasion, anacqnaioied with the methods ol modern mercantile life, paid an ^incermuonlous call at the storehouse of the above named gentlemen and was sotaken up with the place that she left the premises with great rslnctance.and is urging upon all her companions to use nothing else but Boyle's and Miller’s brem and shorts.

Sir,—Will you kindly allow'me the privilege of your columns to offer a few words »f advice to the young men and women of Canada who contem- plate coming to the United States for the purpose of procuring employment.

As president of the Canadian Club of Boston for several years, I came in contact with many who came here with the idea that work was to be easily obtained and that wages were much higher than in Canada. They were from all walks of life—laborers, men And women with trades, and even professional men. They came with the most buoyant hopes of bettering their lot, only to find, after weeks of vain seeking that tfteir anticipations were doomed to disappointment.

At the present time nearly all branches of business are centralized, the great trusts are in control, labor-saving machinery has displaced hand work, wages have been cut down, and thousands of men and women are now walking the streets of the great cities who would, if they could, eagerly emHrace \he opportu- nity to earn a few dollars a week to keep the wolf from the door.

The enormous immigration from Eu- rope especially from the southern part, has glutted the labor market,and been a powerful factor to lowering wages. From Italy alone about 1,500 immi- grants are arriving every week at the port of Boston, while probably double that number land at New York, Phila- delphia, and southern coast cities. These people can live in luxury on wages that would drive ah American

FAMILIAR, YET UNKNOWN—Some of the commonest facts of our every day existence totally escape our observa- tion, Here are some questions about things you’ve seen every day and all your life. If fou are a wonder you may possibly answer one or two of the queries off-hapd. Otherwise not :

What are the exact words on a Can- adian two-cent stamp ? ^

In what direction is the face turned on a cent ? On a quprter ? On a ten cent piece ?

How many toes has a cat on epch fore foot ? On each hind foot ?

Which way does the trescent moon turn—to the right or to the left ?

What color are your employer’s, eyes ? The eyes of the man at the next desk?

Write down off-hand, the figures on the face of your watch. The odds are that you will make at least two mis- takes in dong this.

Your watch has some words written or printed on its face. You have seen these words a thousand times. Write them out correctly. Also, what is the number in the case of your watch ?

How many teeth have you ? , How many buttons has the vest or shirt waist you are wearing ?

How many stairs are there in the first flight in your house ?

How many steps lead >from the street to the front door of your house or fiat ?

What is the name signed in fac- simile, on any one, two, five or ten dollar bill you ever saw ? You’ye read dozShs of those names. Can’t you re- member one ?

Taken Home.

Ottawa, July 22,—(Special.)—It is un- derstood that on the return of Sir Willfred Laurier and the other Ministers from Eng- land, there will be a commercial agent appointed in London. The name of Mr J Gumming, of Lyn, who went to Africa as special commissioner, baa been mentioned, as well as that of Mr Peter Ball, of Toronto*

Many are Going.

The attendance at the Ottawa exhibition from this district this year promises to be much larger than ever before. From all accounts an August show—the dates of the exhibition are August 22nd-30tb—is popu- lar, and what with a grand show and the many other attractions at the Capital, a very large number have already expressed their intention of going to Ottawa next month. These will certainly see a fine exhibition, for the entries are very numer- ous this year and the directors are sparing no expense to secure the best special at- tractions in the continent.

MCDONALD GETS CONTRACT.

WILL BUILD LABELLE-NOMINIQUE SECTION FOE CANADIAN PACIFIC.

The contract for the twenty-two miles of railway the Canadian Faoi&o is to build be- tween Labelle and Nominiqne has been awarded to Hr D B McDonald, ex M L A for Glengarry, who will, i) is understood, begin work almost immediately, and the new extension will be completed and open for traffic some time next year. Mr Mo Donald said yesterday it was early to talk about details, except that the work was fairly heavy and a part of it can be carried on in winter. Ur Gardner, who has been engaged at the surveys and location, will be the engineer of construction. It is uncer- stood that Mr McDonald will sublet the work.—Montreal Star.

Admired Our Side- Walks.

Mr. Martin of Alexandria, and Mr. Christie of Kemptville, each a leading citizen in his respective place of resid- ence, were in town to-day en route to the Pacific coast. They were very fav- orably impressed with the splendid ce- ment walks, and became so interested that they interviewed Mayor Bead as to their cost, mode of construction, and so forth. His Worship gave the visitors all the information he could, and called their attention to the fact that the Povilett street blocks, which are among the finest sections of gran- olithic walk in the world, according to the statement of a German engineer, were constructed ent.irely of cement from Owen Sound miUs. Both gentle- men were surprized to learn that it had been done three years, as it had every appearence of recent construc- tion. They had examined cement walks in many places, and had seen nothing to equal those in Owen Sound. Mr. Martin said that in his section of the province the people had little faith in Canadian cement. They bought the imported article largely, but he was convinced after the interview with Mayor Bead, that Canadian cement was equal if not superior to the impor- ted article. Alexandria and Kempt- ville are progressive centres, and are to be congatulated on having citizens so observant and intelligent. The vis- itors left by the S S Athabasca this af- ternoon on their western tour.—Owen Sound Times.

Alexandria’s Greatest Store.'"

The Best in the World Should be good enough for anybody^’ We have it in the

McCormack Binder Twine.

It has been proven beyond dispute that the twine manufactured by this company is the very best twine on the market for smoothness, stre|)gth and length per lb. %

We have now in our store house a car load of this twine bought early last spring and at a price considerably below what manufacturers are now^sk-» ing. You remember some few years ago beflSf we handled twine that just before harvest time twine advanced about two cents per lb., and some of our competitors made you pay the aj^v^p^ce, notwil standing the fact that they had ft bought before tl advance. This may be business, but it is not oUr style. We expect only a reasonable profit and pre- fer giving our customers a chance t^ buy below the market to taking advantage of a rise to squeeze a couple of cents extra profit out of them. We are satisfied that the great mass of the people who come to Alexandria appreciate this, as we.^are now doing more than three times as much business as ever before. We are satisfied that we can give you a better deal in Binder Twine than any firm in Glen, garry. If you have not bought, it will pay you to get our prices before doing so.

All kinds, of Haying and Harvesting Tools selling at'old prices.

If you are not getting as many eggs as you were some time ago, bring us what you do get. Small favours thankfully received.
