Although there was not as much competition in the sports as was expected, those present seemed to enjoy themselves. Some disappointment was felt over the fact that the football team was not present. There was no team to compete with the "Dauntless" here so the bojs went to Meaford and gave a good account of themselves there, scoring 2 goals to against Meaford ai-d 7 goals to against Griersville.

D., was here on Sabbath last and his congre- gations were favorably impressed with him. On Saturday morning last the citizens of our village were awakened by the alarm of fire, at 1.80. The Bell Block was discovered in flames. Al- most superhuman pxertions were made by the villagers and the fire got under control after a long, fierce fight. The fire was a clear case of incendiarism, (r. W. Parson's druggist suffered the most loss all the losses are fully covered by insurance. At one time it was thought impossible to save tlie block. Had it been consumed. Old- field's drug store. Parson's drug store, tlie bank, Jas. Calhoun Sons, the Herald office. Lemon's law office and other business places would have been destroyed and the proprietors heavy losers. It is reported an inquest will be held, as the fire was evidently the work of an incendiary.
