WHEATFIELD.

Trustee Clark is reported sick. Miss Hoover is visiting her brother and friends of this vicinity. If you havn’t received a fall the last week you can deem youself lucky. Protracted meeting is still going on with good results. Our town boys enjoyed a good skate aiong the railroad ditch last Sunday. We presume Mr. Smiley, our postmaster, thinks he has a pretty good trade at present, especially in valentines. Rev. Smith delivered two interesting sermons last Sunday, the house being crowded at night until it was impossible to be comfortable. About three hundred persons were present. Mr. Bert Dunn has been the chief visitor at' Mr. Clark’s during the sickness of his wife. A large crowd from Dunnville attended the meeting Sunday night, among them being Bro. Sands, who is one of the best workers in our revival. _ We understand that Wheatfield is to have a new Methodist church in the near future, which will be quite an impi'ovement to the town. Owing to the number of churches it contains, Wheatfield should be quite a respectable place. But we are afraid churches have nothing to do with this case and especially some of the saloon and its company. Iceberg.
