Caught The Largest Fleh The following item is taken from the New Liskeard, New Ontario Her­ ald and referrs to Mr. T. M. Little, of Dungannon. "The decision in regard to the largest fish caught, (not bought) lay between Mr. Solomon, of New Liskeard, Mr. Dreaney, of Cobalt an Mr. T. M. Little, of Dungannon, Ont. The palm was awarded to Messrs. Little and Dreaney, with Mr. Solomon a close second, only two ounces be­ hind. Mr. Little is not only a busi­ ness man of Dungannon but an athe- lete of some repute, and we suppose that had something to do with catch­ ing the big fish, and tbe Herald repre­ sentative knows he is a man of his word, as be happened to sit at the same table with him at dinnert and heard him say that if there were big fish in tbe lake he was going to have some. Mr. Little intends to visit New Liskeard next spring, as it is his I intention to go into business here.” FAIR NOTES Get entries in early. What will you show ? Lucknow Fair is oq Oct. 4th & 5th.

J P Mnrray The Lumberman and Contractor published in Vancouver, British Col* umbia, pays the following high tribute to Mr. J. P. Murray, son of Mr. Pi ter Murray, of Lucknow. “J. P. Mui ray, of the timber department, was born in Paramount, Huron County, Ont., in 1892, and was for the best part of his life in the lumber camps of Ontario and Michigan, arriving on the Pacific Coast in 1893. It has been his mis­ sion of late years to frequently visit every section of the province where the lumberman industry is being car­ ried on, and his knowledge of the tim­ ber resources of the country and the concerns engaged in the industry are of such value to the government that his name has been mentioned conspic- iously in connection with several very delicate commissions, in the mat­ ter of enforcing the timber regulations of the province against dilinquent firms. He has also been commission­ ed to make valuable reports on tim­ ber for tbe government, and where his reports have been checked up by experts they have been found to have been made intelligently and with great acouracy. This is a branch of his duties for which Mr. Murray, from his life-long timber experience, is well fitted. If ever any government official had a chance to graft it would be Mr. Murray. He is in the nature of things closely in touch with all those seek ing limits, and he knows where limits are to be had—two essentials to the oper­ ation of a very lucrative grafting plant. Mr. Murray, however, is con­ stitutionally honest, and ever pains­ taking in the interest cf the govern­ ment. He is a man widely known and very popular, and his bluff hearti­ ness has helped to win him friends in­ numerable in every section of the pro­ vince. He is a sturdy product of old Ontario, and exactly fits a position re­ quiring good common sense, sound ex­ ecutive ability, strength of character and an iron constitution.” UNPACKING The shipments of the fall season’s earliest goods are being received and unpacked, and on the shelves and count­ ers you‘11 find an excellent stock of new and handsome fabrics of many kinds.
