WOODBRIDGE.

The wife and family OF VIM. Philip az
rived this week from Ontario, and he is
exceedingly happy.
Andrew Hepburn left last week to take
a position with machine firm in Bath
gate. Andy has worked for them be-
fore and the fact that they want him
again speaks well for his ability and in
tegrity as collector.
Hay is plentiful and good in this sec
ton and the farmers are all busy getting
as much OF it together as possible. Ii
the weather continues fine this week will
see the most OF them through with their
work in the hay field.
George Baker was busy sinking a we'll
last week, and between sinking and bor-
ing he went down about thirty-five feet,
but got no water. He has not yet de-
cided what he will do under the circum-
stance, but will likely go deeper
The weather has been decidedly cool
for about a week, the thermometer
lowering close too the frost line for the
peace OF mind OF the farmers. Saturday
forenoon frost was noticed in some
OF the low places on Saturday morning
but as the garden stuff was rot touched
it must have been extremely light.
The spiritual welfare OF this community
should be pretty well taken care as in
addition to the regular services held
here each Sunday the Salvation Army
have for several days past been holding
camp meeting in this locality and now
it is learned that the Hornerites are
holding forth in tent just across the
line in Manitoba. ''Gather them in,'
Mr.. and Mrs. John Loynes, ST., arrv-
ed home from their Ontario visit last
week, having spent epastninemonths
in visiting the scenes OF byegone days
and renewing acquaintance OF friend
ship. They both look well and say they
enjoyed the trip immensely, but still
would rather live here in North Dakota.
Mr.. Loynes says that Canada is no place
for working man as wages are very
low. from 80 cents to S1.25 being the
wages paid to skilled carpenters. Crops
are better here than over there and
even fruit will almost be failure
there this year. ...

THE SOUTH.
Thousands of visitors in North Carolina
Mountains.
lAshevIlle Citizen, AsheyilIe, N. %


(Asheville Citizen, Asheville, N. o.
The mountains of Western North Carolina
have indeed been refuge this summer.
From every state south of Maryland and east
of Ohio the tourists have poured by the
thousands and to-day the counties west of
the Blue Ridge in North Carolina are thronged
with visitors who have fed from the torrid
rays of the sun in the home land to the
shades of these great mountains.
The cooling waters of the French Broad,
Swannanoa, Davidson and Mills rivers, the
Pigeon, the Tuckaseege, the Tennessee,
Hiwassee Nantahals, Toe, Cane and other
rivers and creeks have been sought by the
invalid, the pleasure-seeker and the sports
man, and from the Blue Ridge to Smoky
Mountains every mountain glen, aud gorge,
and valley, and country side has been filed
with those looking for cooler spot, deeper
shadow.
And none have been disappointed. There
has not been night this summer, between
Mitchell's Peak and Chunky Gal, when sleep
was not comfortable under more or less cover
ing.
1t seems safe to say that between 5,080 and
25, 900 people are now in our mountains and
still they come And this throng increases
as the years go by. What formerly was con-
fined to Asheville has now spread until il
covers everyone of the 12 counties lying west
of the Ridge, to say nothing of the half dozen
or more on the eastern side of the mountain.

AN EXCELLENT SHOW.
The Welsh Bros. Entertained Two Large
Audiences Yesterday.

The annual visit of the Welsh Bros. shows
to town attracted two large audiences to the
circus grounds near the p. & R. Railway
station yesterday afternoon and evening and
the performances were of frst.class order.
The Welsh Bros. have never brought an in
terior show here, but this year their cOmbi-
nation surpasses all they have presented to
our town people. Every act is deserving of
commendation and there is snap and
brilliancy in the method of production that
refreshes an audience. Every performer is a
star in his or her particular line. Prominent
among them are Akimoto's Royal Imperial
japanese troupe, Prof. Harry Mohns trained
dogs, ponies and monkeys, Alfred Heintz
slaekwire performer and equilibrist; West
and Zanta aerialsts; Higgins, humorous
iuggler; Mile Cerito, equilibrist; Charles
O'Brien, John Lancaster and Harry West
clowns; Maude Haywood, cornet virtuoso
and dozen others equally skillful and
entertaining in their respective spheres. Just
prior to the evening performance Prof. David
McDade makes a balloon ascension, intro
ducing mid-air trapeze performance and a
parachute jump, all of which were highly
successful last evening. The balloon and
parachute descended without accident on
Turkey Run hill. Another successful per-
formance was given under the tent by the
shows this afternoon. and to. night the final
one will be given, Prof. McDade preceding
1t with his ascension and jump.
