OUR FALL SHOW.
•
The public should reinetn ber that
the annual fall show of the Kinloss
Branch Agricultnral eSociety wili be
held at Lucknow on Thursday a nd
Friday, October lst and 2nd. - We
believe that these local Agricultural
Fairs are institutions of inore iMport-
mice than many are apt to suppose.,.
The -Letialature of the Province be-
lieves thia by means- of these Shows
mach may be accomplished in the in-
terests of the farmers and in the in-
terest of the people, and holding this
opinion, devote annually large sums of
Money to aid in maintaining the ex-
hibitions. If this Money is in any de-
greewasted or fails to do the. good it
should, it is we believe, the fault of an
unappreciative public. , Ilnmust be a
dull man indeed who with eyes to see,
ears to hear and a tongue in his head
with which to ask questions, cermet
Wain at least sufficient profitalale in-
formation at an Agricultural Show to
repay him his day's time and admis-
sion fee. There is much to be learned
respecting the different breeds of live
stock, the different kinds and varieties
of grains, root S and fruit, diffetent
modes of cultivation and methods of
feeding aud there never was a titre
when the farmers needed more to know
all there may be learned as to their
profession, than at the present, when
the farmers needed more to know all
there may be learned as to eheir pro-
fession than at the present, when farm-
ers have so much to contend with.
-Several *manufacturers will exhibit
machines, vehicles, implements, etc.,
among which- will be sonae novelties
and all of Which -should be of interest.
The speeding in the ring wilt be espe:
Melly interesting as several good horses
will enter. Buyers and sellers of
stock, seed grain, implements, vehicles,_
harness, musical instruments, sewing
machines, etc., should filed the exhibi-
tion tobe le splendid. market place.
There are larger Shows than "Ours"
but there are none better. If you
think it will not be to your interesetp
become a member, try at least to visit
the Show. Bring the young peoplei
along, it will afford them e well earn-
ed outing and lead them to take.- a
greater interest in the. work of the
farm, wit-18mA them home with new
ideas and help them to b ecpine better
farmers and farmers' wives..
NELV • COUNTY -COUNCILS. .
Last session the Ontario Govern-
ment passed an act reducing the num
ber 9f councillors from -1,500 and odd
to 500, thus saving the farmers about
$25,00f1 a year. . The act takes effect
-this fall; the new districts are- already
being divided by the commissioners;
Membera are to be elected for tip,
years, but no member of the council
of a local municipality, nor any clerk,
reasurer, assessor or collectorthereof,
shall be eligible, the object being not
only to save expense but to secure men
who will legislate with an eye to the
good of -w dieision they represent,
rather thine as now, - for their- own
particular townships. Some of the
existing county councilhave es many
as 60 members, onibout as many as
the new council elected in Londen,
England, with a population under its
administration, needy equal to that of
the whole Dominion. , These over-
grown bodiea debate all 'spite of qeest-
ions, in order, apparently, to prolong
the sessiou,-and draw the per diem
allowance: Itis saidinbehalf of such
abuses that an occasional vita to the
county town, with two or three dol-
lars a day, is really all the reeve gets
for devoting himself to the public bus:-
iness, but'thet plea in extenuation is
thirdly worth diecassion. . Strange -to
eay, Mr...ffardy'e act is denounced in

principally. the reeves affected, or pee -

detsPftir of getting into thetnewcoun-
cils from a larger cenetitueucy. Sure-
ly, when the farmers understand the
measure, they will say it is a step in
the right direction. Et would do no

" ALIEN LABOR LAW.
-
TO _Canadian House of Gommons'
seems .to, be alinest unanimous as to_
the- wisdom of a.doptiqg an alien -labor
law as a measure ofketaleation against.
the United State •or the enaet-
merit-and- rigid enforcerneut of the.
law itiloece over there. The -act which
prevents Canadian laborers from earn-
ing, a livelihood en the other side is a
legislative iniquity, made worse than
it -might otherwise be by the merciless
way it is -enforced by the inspectors
in the herder- cities, -It is time
• .
Canada to retaliate and show the
authors of. that bill -t-hat,, so far as
Canada is concerned, the :workingmen
of the United States have nefling to
gain by such -an act. There are thoue-
ands.of American citizees going in 'and
out among: the _Canadian cities and
find* profitable employment -Who
would be deported with the utmost
despatch if Canada had an alien labor
law similar to that -io force nverethe
line.
Premier Laurierstated iu the House
on Wednesday that • his _ Government
is commit/limiting with the Washing-
ton. Government for the abrogation -of
the restrictive law, and he has promis-
ed that in the event. of his failure to
secure that concession he will introd-
uce a bill identical with . that hi force
in the U-nited States. This statetnene
had the apprcival of the leader of the
Opposition and the rest of the House,
and it will certainly be acceeitable to
the country at large.
CURRENT TOPICS
•-
. The absurd provision in -the Phar-
macy Act ,whieh requites every person
charged with infractions to -prove that
no unqualified person, that is, a person
not a graduate of -the, College of Phar-
macy,- has any interest whatev.er- in
the sale -of the •drugs, has again been
brought before the public by the.
prosecatione condacted by the private
detective engaged by- the college. It
is to be hoped the renewed notoriety
of this outrageous elause in the Act
veill bring about its speedy repeal. It
is Ali very' well to require that dis- •
Perisers' of • poisonous prescriptions
shall be capable of intelligently hand-
ling
drugs, but with that the duty of
Government in the premises ends. To
saysthat nceman shall eet. up in busi-
nese- a qualified druggist, furnish him
with funds and take in turn a share of
the profits, is a piece of gross tyranny
of which auy -Legislature Ought to be
ashamed. Moreov-er, that is just the:
kind of legislation swhich brings the.
law intc contempt; and which can
oulys be made to serve the :purpose of
its procurers by resort being had to the
most atrocious spy' system under
which the detective is expected to
solicit the'crime. The law should be
amended.
THE CASH SYSTElti
To the Eititor of thetinel
I noticed a letter .On "ilueiness"' in
in your laet issue I am glad to know
that there- is a desire in tile heart of
some storekeepers" to discontinue -the
credit system. In years gdne by, the
inercha.nt who Was able and willing to
give the longest, credit got the trada
of the farmers, but now -a -days it is
changed. If the merchant cannot af-
ford to give extended credit he arranges
_with his bank to borrow money, and
in. -'order to compete with his _ neigh -
tor, allows the purchaser to have goods
for 12 24 months before raying for
ow, this is wrong. The pur-
chaser.'is the man who get e or. has use
of flies- money and is the man Who
should be paying the bank interest,
either in his or -anot,kedk name. . But
merchants have themselveis•to blame
for this, for they set a prfte-on their
wares --and, give the purchaser his
choice, whether het -lakes credit or
pays cash. Is there really -a need of
the credit syltem now 11 H so we
have a right to Oblige the honest man,
if he pays for the obligemene '
days gone by fanners marketed their
grain in winter and this was the only
cash they received thef whole year.
Now they start the year with Eester
eggs, thea butter, then wool, then
lambs, then- pigs, then creamery ac-
courits and cheese factory accounts al-
most monthly, hay in summer and
followed in the fall with grain and
cottle., One time of the year is as
!wither so why not pay dash? Again
another act is frequently practiced by
many who Claim to he holiest people.
They run accounts in their nearest vil-
lage and take cash. which belongs .to
youand me, brothermerchant, and send
to the city departmental stores_ because
from cathchy advertisement they image
ine they save money, but little do they
realize that it is not their own money,
for if they paid up their just and true
accounts they would have no cash to
send away. It seems to me that if the
new Beard of Trade were formed of
praetical men some step mighe be
taken to at least diminish if not entiee-
ly atop, a system that ends very' often
itt trouble, dispute hacl feelings and a'
total and everlasting break in,. friend-
ship. I should like to hear from some
�f our other townspeople on thisasule-
ject. Thanking you inn ly for

It Leads Them All
Judging from the _number �f ap-
plications for prize lists. from all parts
of the county, the fall show which is
to be held in Lucknow On Thursday
and Friday, Oct. lst and 2nd., Will be
more successful than ever this year.
The Society has held over thirty ex-
hibitions, each one being ,better and
growing stronger every year. . This
year the prize list has beeri increased
so that the prizes are nearly is good as
those offered at the Fig exhibitions and
far_ahead of -any other local society.
The Dicectors very liberally admit all
children . attending public schools'
for 5 cents, when attending as a
school in charge of their teachers, and
is one of the best bands in the country
will be present daring the second day,

A Needed Reform
An efforeis again being made; says
the Kincardine Review, to induce
the P. . 0. -department to place a'
mail clerk en the 10 a. m. train,
returning here at 11 o'clock p.- in.
They have siinilar services on the
Wiarton and Southampton branches
and if it is needed, there it is here..
The friends of the government -here
should ,endea ver to have this reform in
the mail service carried out a once..
At the last -meeting of the Kincardine
Council a motion was made by the
Reeve seconded by Councillor Luttrel
"that the Postmaster-Generabe pet
itioried to have an -open Mail on the 10
a. m and 11 p. m. trains between Kin-
cardine ami Paldierstone end that the
intermediate towns ho asked to co-oper-
ate.—Carried." We .trust that the
Council of Lucknow will also take the
matter up and heartily c� -operate with
the Kincardine Council in trying to
secure for us this much needed reform.
The Epworth League t
Liiit Monday4wening at the League
Mr. Taylor, its president, gave a very
ineereeeing addrese on "the Lucknow
Epworth League." He said it was
first organized as a Y. P. -K. C. E.,
shortly after the reviVal under Mr.
-Turk and the Salvation Army. At
that time its members were unused to
Speaking before a gathering and the
firet President almost broke down in -
attempting to lead a meeting, whereas
now almost any member of the League,
active or associate, is able to conduct
a service or to lead a meeting if neces-
sary. When the church was erected
in 1885 the society 'agreed to pay
$500 in five years with the accruing -in-
terest, toward paying off the church
debt- When this was paid they took
a further responsibility of $250 for 5 -
