short time ago.
Tie rain has caus1a the grain to grow
pretty rank, but, so far, no damage is re-
ported. The crops in this neighborhood
are likely to be considerably above the
average. The acreage in wheat this year
is about the same as last year.

Supt. Allard made all official call one
day last week.
Mr.. Wilkinson has sold out and tuken
his departure hence.
MIR. j. I. Berry passed through here
the 9th Will. lumber for his new house.
The rain OH the 9th put the ground in
good condition for breaking again. In
many places it was getting too dry.
P. Morrison, of Ardoch, was in the
vicinity this week, selling forest trees and
stock. AS we think his prices
too high, we would recommend that
those desiring such articles to send to
Braslan & Co., % Bridge
Square, Minneapolis, Mimi, for seed
catalogue. We purchased seeds and
plants of the said company and know
WucFeOl we speak.
HYDE PARK.
No service last Sabbath OH account of
rain.
Mr.. Johnson has secured, through Mr..

Of roads. It's much needed,
as teams are seen almost daily in slough
fastncss.
At the annual school meeting rate of
three cents ON the dollar was levied, which
covers twenty months school, as no rate
was levied last year. A resolution was

MAN., spent a few days visiting Mr.. A.
Brown, and while here examined the
school. He is reported to have said that
Hyde Park school is second to but one
out of twenty-five which lie has just visit
ed in Manitoba. Score one for Hyde Park.
RIDcETIELD.
Rosa Lake celebration was an immense
success, n large crowd being present. All
kinds of games, horse racing, etc, were
INDUCED in. The leading feature of the
day was game Of base ball between the
Mugwumps of Olga and the Faithfuls OF
Rosa Lake. The Faithtuls all played a
strong game except one irrcpressible, i'll
corrigible, Neutrality-suspicious. young
man who came up from Bathgate to show
the b'hoys how to play. He, in his mind,
played a strong game, invariably going
out by tanning the wind three times and
taking seat in the shade. He never
made base hit. The Faithfnls got LETT
and the Mugwunps "got thar" to the
tune of Is TOT. A return match will be
played soon, when the Faithfuls will do
better, as the overwhelmingly fresh young
man will not be allowed to take part.
