Stanbury was in Toron­ to on Monday and Tuesday at Os- goode Hall as Counsel tor the defen­ dant in the case of Allen vs, Allen. The action was tried at Goddricli in June by His Honor Judge Costello on reference from the Supreme court and judgment was given fo.r the plaintiff. A large sum of money is involved in the dealings of these two Ctofterich brothers as lio.rsebuyers. The Defendant appealed and on Tuesday the appeal wAe granted and the case sent back to the local judge. • W. ProodfOrOt K.C., of Toronto and R. 0. Itays, of Goderich, tepresent- od the plaintiff. Has Thrilling Experience Mr. S. J. Hicks, of Toronto, spent L Barnum was right. One has only to go’ to a country fair to find there are still suckers looking for easy money and that everyone is not broke at least when they go to the fair. Crowds attract crowds like honey attracts bees and mingling with one of the crowds at the Exe­ ter Fair to see what was the attrac­ tion we noticed a gambling wheel •with a gentleman of a well-known nationalty behind it and-we conclud­ ed that anyone who could beat that combination must be good. The op­ erator was not long in passing o,ut five dollar bills on a 50c. bet to five or ®ix perSons at a time. It looked like easy money. The funny part of it was that the men who were making the big wins came to town And left again on the same with the operator but the public were not supposed to know Having' seen these gentry operate at Kirkton and Zurich Fairs last year and Exeter this year and as all end­ ed identically the same we concluded the thing is regular routine. A num­ ber of persons loose small sums of money and never say a word; a few loose larger sums and grin and bear it and then someone looses a pile of money and a holler is raised either by the person or his friends. After a good deal of argument with the police and the fair officials a com­ promise is made, some of the money is returned, the concern folds its tent and leaves tor fresh pastures and more easy money. One man lost over $20 on Tuesday; another $40 ■and a third is reported to have lo§.t over $10'0, $45 of which was hand­ ed back. truck that. Mr. George Frayne, of Usborne, had the misfortune to have his right hand severed at the wrist when it was caught in the knives of a blow­ er while threshing operations were in progress on the farm of Mr. A. J. Penhale, of Stephen on Thursday of last week. Mr. Frayne has employed in threshing MoFalls for the'season, something went wrong ting box for the straw ged. Mr. Frayne put been with Mr. G. On Thursday and the cut- became clog- his hand in the box while the machine was in motion and the hand was severed. He was brought to the office of Dr. Dunlop and was immediately rush­ ed to St. Joseph's Hospital, Lon­ don, suffering .considerably from loss of blood and shock. For a time his condition was considered serious but he is now getting along as well as can be expected.. SUCCESSFUL FAIR Rain Theatens To Spoil the Day— Gat'd Showing in Some Classes, Others Light. Exeter Fall Fair was well attend­ ed Tuesday. Rain in the morning threatened to spoil the attendance and no doubt kept away a number of exhibitors, but as the sun shone forth shortly before neon many of the farmers dropped their work and cam© to Exeter for the ing day of the year. There was a good showing of some of the finest * cattle and poultry show was good and in the indoor exhibit® the ladies work had a splendid display. Weth­ er or not it is because the farmers are very busy or that there is a shotage of roots and vegtable® and fruits but the showing in these lines were exceptionally light. The mer­ chants of town had numerous splen­ did displays. There were a large number of tents and concessions on the grounds and all seemed to. be doing fairly well. On account of the rain the horse race was called off but the running race was made in two heats ■ever a muddy track. The Exeter band provided splen­ did music and the Canadian Cow­ boys of London, entertained the crowd. The Exeter girls softball team defeated the Hepsall girls 10- 7. Winnie White and Olive Caldwell were the pitchers for the Exeter girl® while Bella Smale was the Hensail Pitcher. The line-up was as follows: Hensail, Bella Smale, p; D.

Shap­ ton, 3rd concession of Stephen Twp., on Wednesday afternoon of last week. Mr. .Shapton was in the barn oiling some machinery and was standing on an orange crate when he overbalanced and fell off. He struck the right knee on a corner of the box and fractured the knee-cap as well as severing some of the liga­ ments. He was brought to Exeter and was immediately taken to Vic­ toria Hospital in London. On Mon­ day an operation was performed when it was found necessary to wire the knee cap and place the leg in a plaster cast. Mr. Shapton will be confined to the hospital ftor some time in consequence. He will have the best wishes of many friends for his early recovery. About two weeks ago Mrs. Shap­ ton slipped to the floor injuring her left arm. On Thursday of last week the day after Mr. .Shapton was takeii to the hospital, Mrs. Shapton again hurt her arm and an examination by Dr. Fletcher revealed that she had' suffered a fracture below the elbow. Mrs. .Shapton was taken to Victoria Hospital carrying for an X-ray and she is now her arm in a plaster cast. ___________ HEAR PREMIER ABERHART “The Place of Better Food” — Smokers’ Supplies — Carolina Jubilee Singers will be at Grand Bend United Church on — Saturday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. Adults 25c Children 15c Liberal Rally In the interests of W.
