KIRKTON FAIR Splendid Weather and Good Crowd- Splendid Exhibit of Live Stock Kirkton Fair was greeted with one of, the balmiest days of the year and a large crowd was present Friday af ternoon of last week. The attend ance was slightly below that of tlie previous year and in some of the classes the exhibits were not as numerous as in other years. There was a slight falling off in the in door exhibits but the quality of the exhibits and the workmanship was excellent. Roots and vegetables were very light. There was a good showing of horses and cattle, the quality being exceptionally good and hard to beat. There was also a good showing of hogs and sheep. The attractions for the day was particularly interesting. They were under the direction of Mr. R. Mills and consisted of races by the boys and girls, bicycle race, running horse race, climbing the greasy pole etc. One noted improvement was the introduction of a loud speaker system which kept the large crowd informed at all times what was going on.

TABLET UNVEILED AT RALLY SERVICES The most largely attended Rally Day service in years was held in Caven Presbyterian church on Sun day morning. The Rally Day ser vice itself in the auditorium of the church with the members of the Sunday School massed in the front pews, was rather shorter than usual. The theme of the service was “Peace.” Rev. Mr. Hill spoke brief ly addressing his words to the child ren from the text “Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will to men.” At the conclus ion of the service all present ad journed to the Sunday School room, where Mr. Thos. Pryde, as superin tendent, presided over a service for the unveiling of a tablet commemor ating the generosity of the late Miss Elizabeth Willis, who left a legacy which provides the school with a comfortable endowment. A chorus of -Sunday School children sang an anthem, a-fter which Mr. Pryde cal led on judge J. G. Stanbury, a form er superintendent for the address of appreciation. In a few preliminary; words the Judge referred to the manner in which his family is set tling down ins their new home, and the strength of the ties binding them to Exeter and to Caven church. He then told of the life of the late Miss Willis, of her association with the Sunday School of the church, large ly through her appreciation of the Sunday School orchestra. Here he pointed to a picture of the original orchestra which Mr. Blayney had donated to the school and which was hanging on the wall for the first time. This connection with the Sunday School had led Miss Willis to leave her life savings to the Cav en Sunday School. It was therefore only right and fitting that the school , should have some memorial to be a i reminder of the devotion and gener osity of Miss Willis. Here he called upon Miss Jeckell, as an old friend of Miss "Willis unveil the tablet, and the flag covering it whs drawn up, the congregfttidh rising fob the unveiling and remaining standing while Mr. Henry Strang led in a brief and beautifully worded grayer. In the evening at the service of worship the sjermon was preached1 (Continued on page four) (Continued on Page 4) 1 LIBERAL GOVERNMENT ; SWEEPS PROVINCE Ballantyne Re-Elected in Jliiixni Premier Hepburn and his LiberalGovernment again sweeps the Prov-mce,■having secured 6*out of 90seatsThe Liberals liad 64 seats atdissolution.
