The farmers up JnrOugn the 1arm-
ing district are busy now getting
their wheat acreage in order for seed
ing which will be commenced in good
earnest this week, having been held
up on account of the drought and ex-
cessive hot weather.
The late rains have done much
good and especially to the late po-
tatO crop. The prospect at this time
for that product is quite fiattering as
there has been quite a large acreage
planted to that vegetable and they
are quite promising at this time.
The last weekend was quite lively
on account of the visitors. Yet there
was a falling off in numbers from
previous week-ends and more espec-
tally with those who come for fishing.
The general report of the week
past that the fish took the hook more
freely than at any time before.
Gilbert Tribbitt, a local mechanic,
has the reputation of being an excel
lent carpenter and house builder at
which business he follows principally.
| But of late he sought the matter of
| building for himself a motor boat for
/ the purpose of conveying parties to
the fishing grounds in the bay. He
has about completed a boat % feet
long, 81s feet beam, with cabin facil-
tiles sufficient and ready now to in
stall the engine. 1t is considered and
pronounced by the best critics as
one of the best arranged and con-
structed boats that will be engaged in
the business.
The Ladies Aid Society met at the
home of Mrs. J. P. Gross on Friday
evening of last week and was enter

The business of the society was TAX
en- up and found in the end to be well
in hand and in prosperous condition.
