THE EXETER TIMES -ADVOCATE
Vff to Mission
Fields of China
(New Toronto Advertiser).
Rev. John Walker accompanied by
nie wife and children took their de-
partare reersitly- for the mission
fields at Chentu. 1\lr. Walker is
well-knowo as a minister in charge
of the chnrch. here some years ago,
and has already assent some years in
the foreign field at teis city in China
and is familiar with the language
and customs ‘of the Chinese people.
Taking the C.P.R. through train for
Vancouver they will then, aftet, a few
days rest take ship across the Pact -
tic for Shanghai. At this latter city
there is white concessions that in-
cludes a population of about twenty
thensand whites, and over tWo mil-
lion native chinese. They will from
there, after some days of rest take
a river steamer up the Yantsekiang
river, a voyage of about thirteen
days. This mighty river is about
sixty miles wide at the mouth where
It enters into an arm of the yellow
sea. The surface of this sea has
actually a yellowish appearance, re-
marked Mr. Walker and is rightly
named, On a former trip up the,
river this devoted worker had the
misfortune to lose all his baggage,
the boat suffering shipwreck, and his
entire effects conveyed so far, were
lost in the depth of this mighty
river.
There is one noticeaible• feature.
• about the Chinese city, there is no
drainage, ventilation, or any sanitary
methods of keeping 'their city in a
clean and healthy condition. For
this reason the missionaries live in
. a concession enclosed by a high brick
'wall. This in some degree protects
inmates from ntolti.4114from mid-
night marauders and bandits. In a
-city as largesas Toronto there is a
:gigantic 'task! before the intrepid
:missionary
s•s•sasisasssds-•
Far inland, sixteen hundred ,miles
they journey up that vast river
course into an alien land of strange
_faces and barbarous customs.'
.Moved by a sacred love ofchris-
thin duty the mission worker leaves
home and kindred to give light and,
bring the message of salvation to
• sthis ancient ,asiatic race. '• 'Accom-
,panied by his wife an educated and
refined lady and with his beautiful
young ,thildeen, the Soul of the mis-
eionary animated 'by the spirit of 'di-
vine renunciation, s ventures afar
'with strong faith and hope.that-Pro-
• vidence will gnide, protect, and gent-
ly clear the way before them,
•
The great mass of the Chinese are
very poor, famiue and disease dog
the. loolsteps of the hungry multi-
tudes. TO the hot season the crowd-
. ed pity is, rank with pestientual or-
ders, treat carry germs of disease and
• death.
Not for glory, not for 'fame, not
for money, does this noble Young'
man •and his gentle wife go •far into
the inland heart of tshina, on a• long
..:and difficult voyage, • to a distant
land and a strange people, but to do
the work his Divine Lord ,and Mas-
ter has commissioned him to do,
• and when the long years of faithful
toil in teacliing, preaching and re-
lieving the sore smitten victims of
famine, as he has often done in form-
•-er ,years, have ,all, .passed away with
a ,splendid record, Of. a high call to
• duty Well and nobly done,. shall not
the missionary hear aa the shadows
of life close around him 'in his last
hour, like a strain or glorious hea-
venly music .descending upon them,
"Come Ye Blessed or my Father, in-
herit the Kingdom prepared for you
from the Foulidatimi of the World."

THOSE PEACHES
Local dealers are to be congratulated on securing a large per-
centage of high grade peaches, Dealers in other localities were not
so fortunate. It seems that the peach moth is asserting itself much
to the chagrin and financial loss of a great many growera. This
pest is difficult to combat. Indeed,' some pratical peach growers
see in this enemy the possible destroyer of the whole industry.

rtiE TEACHER'S FARLLIMENT
'Exetersthis week welcomes the teaehereilorSsttifss.4napectoratei.
And well our live village may do scsS''smere'ilin most of us think,
the teachers keep our community wholesome and progressive. Every
scholar in the land means something for the stability and, the Im-
provement of the commonwealth. As the teacher is, so will our
boys and girls be twenty years from now. Fortunately for us, the
great percentage of the teachers are' of the right stamp. ' They
have a real love for sound learning. They haste the gift of light-
ing up the minds of their pupils... In'spite of a•maudlin, sobsister-
ism they know how to make a lazy boy or girl do some lively stepp-
ing. They have a most effective way of dealing with liars. They
. know how' td • make the easy going "Snap into it." They have a
'good Word and a bit of Itelp,and an astonishingly large number of
dollars for, every good cause in the community. So Vere's our
' heartiest welcome to a body of folk who have in their hands for
six hours in the day for five days in the week the formation of the

.Kirkton Fall ' Fair
Kirkton Fair drew a large crowd
for the Jubilee Exhibition which
was held Wednesday of last week.
The weather was a trite cool but
in .spite of it about 11500 people
were attracted to the grounds. The
fair was officially opened by .Mr. J.
Lockie Wilson, secretary of the On-.
tario Fairs Association. Mr. , Wil-
son congratulated the directors on
the clean, attractive exhibition. He
also congratulated the teachers and
scholars who took part in the school
drills and parade. Mr, Wilson was
pleased to see that the fair was pure-
ly an agrieultural • show, with no
•wheels 'of chance or any other type,
of game of chance. Few of those,
present at the Fair to -day were
present sixty years ago, said Mr.
Wilson. The officers and the ex-
hibitors of •the first Kirkton Fair
have all passed away but they left
the management of the exhibition in
capable hands, and the fair is now
one of the most proinising• and best
chows of its type in the province.
Young people are now taking up the
teins that ,ere left by their fathers.
The showing this year both in the
horses and cattle, were good with a
particularly fine lot of Holsteins.
The showing of sheep was exception-
ally large. In the indoor depart-
ments there were some fine exhibits.
Potatoes and roots were good as
was also the showing in apples and
fivers considering the season. The
fine arts and ladies work as usual
attracted the.. ladies and thew forth
much favorable comment.
A professional clown Happy Jack,'
from Sunnyside, went among the
crowd and created no end of amuse-
ment. The London Kiltie Band pro -
'Oiled the music and Scotch Danc-
frig. The platform in. front • of the
grandstand gave way while a Scotch
dance- was in progress •but no one
was hurt'.

jubilee Year
This year marked the Jubilee Year

and has been held annually every
year during that period. The first
fair was held in 1869 on the late A.
Kirk's farm just' behind were Aber-
deen 'Hell now stands, and was held'
there until the year 1882. At this
time the Fair Board rented a piece
of land'from the late Samuel Doupe,
which was used until the year 1889.
The Board of Directors then decided
that it would be in the interest of
the Society, as it had been expand-
ing froth year to year, to produce
larger grounds. T'hey purchased 8
acres from the late John McGregor
for the sum of $1,200.00.

Treas., Henry Doupe. The Directors
were: Ruelben Switzer; Adam Snarl-
ing, Angus McCallum, James Kirk,
Alex Kirk, James I3ryans, Henry
Doupe, Phillip Kerr and Robert
Creery. Henry Doupe held the posi-
tion as Treasurer for two years ,but
could not hold the position any long-
er on account Of an. amendment 112
the Agricultural Statutes of Ontario.
Mr. Beatty was then appointed Sec-
Treas., he holding that position for'
thirty-five years, proving himself a
very efficient, courteous, and oblig-
ing ,Sec-Treas. and liked by all.
,The proceeds of the first .year am-
ounted to $12.80. Total receipts
ifueoi;tshe year were $213.82; eXpendi-
038.84, balance $14.98. No
grants were received from any source
the first year.
When Mr. Beatty resigned his of-
fice, the present Sec-Treas., Amos
boupe,ovho had been assistant secre-
tary for a number of years was then
selected to fill the 'Position whieh.
