Weather Clears For Local Fall Fair Attendance Good Altho Rain & Cold Up To The “11th Hour” Threat­ ened no Marr Show—Stock Of Excellent Quality, But Fewer En­ tries. With a downpour of rain last Thursday and when Friday morning dawned dull and cold, it looked as if the weatherman had dealt a blow that had the Lucknow Agricultural Society “down for the count” as far as attendance at the show was con­ cerned. By noon-hour, however, the day had brightened and warmed up somewhat and the Fair officials were delighted to see a crowd of about 1500 people attend the show, and run the gate receipts up to $292.20, about $10.00 less than last year’s receipts. More than a hundred exhibitors competed in the various classes this year with exhibits in the Hall, ex­ clusive of the entries in the stock classes, numbering roughly 1200. The outstanding display in the Hall was the flower show. Well ar­ ranged at the front of the building, a large number of exhibits in cut flowers and potted plants afforded a colorful display that was the centre of attraction. Other classes of baking, ladies work, fruits, grains and vegetables had their usual large number of ex­ hibits. In the latter class an exhibit of peanuts, grown by Clarence Greer was interesting. A single piece of California red­ wood, 1%" x 4' x 6' exhibited by Henderson & Fisher, attracted much attention. Twelve boys were entered in the Grain Club and had some fine samp­ les of grain and sheaves on exhibi­ tion. In the Boys’ Foal Club, there were only six entrants this year, but about 15 calves were entered in the Cajf Club competition. The Club winners are announced at a later dfate. Fewer herds competed for the cattle prizes, but while competition was not so keen the quality was ex­ cellent, cattle men said. The sheep show was exceptionally good. The horse show attracted many spirited animals and much interest centred around these classes. The list of prize winners follows, with the exception of the winners in the Fine Arts and Flower classes, which were not available at present, as some errors appear in the judges’ hook in these classes. Judges of the various classes were: Horses, James Brandon; Cattle, John Brown; Sheep and Swine, Adam Thompson; Poultry, Elmer Farrish; Grain, Jos. Collyer; Roots and Vege­ tables, George Jardine; Fruit, Ken­ neth Cameron; Dairy and Table Sup- nlies, Mrs. M. Start; Ladies’ Depart­ ment, Mrs. C. Crawford; Fine Arts and Flowers, George Stewart, Gode­ rich. HORSES Class 1—Heavy Draft Horses Female—Andrew McKague, Tees- water.

Pincombe, 73 years old, a former resident of Lucknow and one, who two-score years ago was as­ sociated with Lucknow’s leading in­ dustry, The Lucknow Table Co., passed away on Saturday in Detroit. The funeral service was held at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. (Dr.) Geddes, on Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. C. H. MacDonald, with interment in Kinloss cemetery. Mr. Pincombe was head finisher at the local plant under Cliff & Fors­ ter, and later was a member of the Company when taken over by a group of local business men, who later disposed of the establishment to Button & Tervitt. Mr. Pincombe is survived by his wife, formerly Kate Cameron, who accompanied the remains to Luck­ now, to the village they left some thirty-eight years ago. A brother and sister at 'St. Thomas survive, who also attended the funeral.

Death Ends Long Illness Longtime Resident Of Community And A Much Beloved Old Lady Laid To Rest Monday. Mrs. James Fisher, an elderly resi­ dent, much beloved in this commun­ ity where she has lived for more than sixty-five years, passed away in Lucknow on Friday night, at the home of her daughter, where since last Octobey she has been cared for during a long illness. Mrs. Fisher, formerly Barbara McMillan, was born in Omaha, Neb­ raska, nearly 78 years ago. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Duncan McMillan, who first settled in Nebraska on coming out from Scotland. As a child, Barbara McMil­ lan came to Kinloss with her par­ ents, who settled on the Second Concession, PA miles west of the Gravel Road. Mrs. Fisher was the last survivor of a family of three sons and six daughters. About fifty-six years ago she be­ came the bride of Mr. James Fisher, and for the greater part of their married life, this esteemed couple resided at the 2nd concession, just north of the schoolhouse. Mr. Fisher died seven years ago, not long after they had moved to Lucknow to re­ side. The funeral service, largely atten­ ded by sympathetic friends, was held on Monday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. Struthers, conducted by Rev. C. H. MacDonald, assisted by Rev. J. L. Burgess and Rev. S. T. Tucker. Interment was jfn South Kinloss cemetery. The passing off a loving mother is mourned by her family of four daughters, Mrs. A. E. Reynolds of Toronto; Mrs. Rod Campbell of Kinloss, Mrs. Robert Struthers, Mrs. Phillip Steward and two sons, William and Robert of Lucknow. A son Harold died as a youth of 13, and a daughter, Mrs. Bert Reed, passed away several years ago. Six grandsons acted as pallbearers Gordon and Jack Fisher, Harold and Bob Campbell, Gordon Struthers and J. C. Reed. NEWLYWEDS PRESENTED BY FORDYCE FOLK Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Morgan Pre­ sented With Floor Lamp On Thursday. A pleasant evening was spent at Fordyce school on Thursday, when members of the school section gath­ ered to present Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Morgan (nee Etta Taylor), recent newlyweds, with a beautiful floor lamp. A short program was enjoyed early in the evening, after which former classmates of Mrs. Morgan, when she attended Fordyce school, performed the pleasant duty. Miss Euphemia Rintoul read an expressive address and Miss Mary Dow made the presentation. Both Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, who had been taken wholly by surprise, expressed their appre­ ciation. Lunch was served and the remainder of the evening spent in dancing. MISS SWARTZ will be at THE MARKET STORE, Friday and Sat­ urday of this week, with her new Fall Coats, Suits and Dresses. PRESENTATIONS MADE AT RALLY DAY SERVICE An interesting feature of the Rally Day service in the Presbyter­ ian Church on Sunday morning was the presentation of certificates and Bibles. With the Sunday school pupils attending the service in a body, the prescribed order of service was followed. For memorization of Scripture, certificates w§rg presented to RoSS McDonald, Audrey Foster, Etta Belle MacDonald, Muriel Paterson and Helen MacDonald. For faithful Sunday school atten­ dance, Bibles were, presented to Joan McQuaig, Donalda 'McQuaig, Ruby Irwin, Rena Miller, Joe Agnew, Gordon Mullin and Elwood Miller. In this regard similar presentations were previously made Winnifred Mc­ Donald, Allan Steward, Roy Aitchi­ son and Mary McQuaig. Mrs. Wm. Cameron Passes Two Aged Sisters Are Removed By Death Within Three Weeks—Fun­ eral Was Saturday. Critically ill for a week since suffering a stroke, Mrs. Wm. Cam­ eron, practically a lifelong resident of West Wawanosh, passed away on Wednesday last at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Douglass of near Mitchell. The> funeral service, held at the home of her son, John Cameron, West Wawanosh, on Saturday after­ noon, was largely attended by friends and neighbors of the community in which she was held in high regard. Rev. R. M. Wright conducted the services with interment in Dungan­ non Cemetery. The deceased, formerly Josephine Radcliffe, was born at Whitby, al­ most 75 years ago and came to Wa­ wanosh at the age of ten years, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Rad­ cliffe. Some forty-six years ago she be­ came the bride of William Cameron, who predeceased her about 25 years ago. Mrs. Cameron continued to re­ side on the homestead, now owned by her son John, until a few years ago. Since then she has been making her home with different members of her family of three daughters and three sons who survive, Mrs. Doug­ lass (May) Mitchell; Mrs. McAree, (Mary), Manitoba; Mrs. Pickwood, (Josie), New York; Gordon of Alberta; Callum of Detroit and John of Wawanosh. Two brothers Thomas and Dan Radcliffe of Dakota, also survive. Mrs. Cameron’s last surviving sister, Mrs. Alex Stuart, passed away only about three weeks ago, and Mrs. Cameron was able at that time to attend the funeral. 'Six nephews of Mrs. Cameron bore her to her last resting place. They were George and Joe Stuart, Ross and Cliffe Murray and Charles McLean and Joe Murray of Lucan. MISS SWARTZ will be at THE MARKET STORE, Friday and Sat­ urday of this week, with her new Fall Coats, Suits and Dresses. New Milk By-Law To Have Teeth In It Council Assured That By-Law Gov­ erning Sale Of Milk In Lucknow Will Be Enforced—Effective Jan­ uary 1st—Cows Must Be Tuber­ culin Tested. A by-law, in connection with the production, handling and sale of milk or cream in Lucknow, was pre­ sented to the Village Council on Tuesday night and after consider­ able discussion, finally past, in ac­ cordance with the Ontario Milk & Cream Act. “Let us be consistent” said Coun­ cillor Murdie, when the By-law was read. “It is easy enough to sanction this, but will it be enforced.” Reeve Hamilton, a member of the Board of Health by virtue of his office as­ sured Council that if they saw fit to pass it, that the Board of Health would enforce it. The By-Law, which becomes ef­ fective January 1st, embodies a ser­ ies of 20 regulations, chiefly per­ taining to the sanitary production handling and dispensing of milk. Any person selling milk must have a vendor’s license, secured by ap­ plication to the secretary of the Board of Health, from the Vil­ lage Treasurer, upon payment of a $1.00 fee. The Board of Health has power to suspend these licenses upon failure of the vendor to abide by the requirements of the By-law. All cows or herds producing milk for sale, must be tested by a quali­ fied Veterinary, who must certify that such animals do not react to the tuberculin injections. Such cer­ tificate will be required annually. No milk shall be sold containing less than 3.25%' butter fat and all milk shall be chilled to 50 degrees as soon as possible and kept at or below that temperature until re­ moved for delivery. < Different clauses deal with re­ quired cleanliness of cattle, utensils, stables and all persons engaged in the handling of milk. Tightly capped glass bottles must be used for de­ livery purposes and householders are required to return these promptly and in a sanitary condition. Cows with ailments must be isola­ ted and milk from them must not be sold. Wholesome food, that will not affect the odor or flavor of the milk, and clean water must be fed all cattle. The infraction of these or other clauses of the By-law, will place the vendor liable to a fine of not more than $50., or in default of payment, a term in gaol not exceeding 6 months. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McNab re­ turned on Monday evening from a two weeks’ wedding trip and will take up residence in the Johnston Block apartment. Died At Fort William Former Lucknow Resident, Aged 85 Years, Suffered Broken Hip Three Weeks Prior To Her Death. Mr. Alexander McKenzie, north of the C.N.R. depot, received the sad news of the death of his sister, which occurred in Fort William on Thursday last. The death leaves Mr. McKenzie the last surviving member of a fam­ ily of eight children of the late Donald and Mary McKenzie, who as pioneer residents of Kinloss, lived on the farm now owned by Mr. W. E. Henderson at the Second Concession. Mrs. McMillan’s husband was a carpenter by trade, he having helped to build the Presbyterian Church. They were married here fifty-three years ago, and some thirty years ago they moved to Fort William where Mr. McMillan died many years ago. Mrs. McMillan was 85 years of age, her death occurring about three weeks, after she had suffered a frac­ tured hip. She is survived iby her only daughter, Miss Mary McMillan of Fort William, who visited here a few weeks ago, and had returned only about a week when her mother suffered the hip fracture. Mr. Duncan McKenzie, a brother of the deceased, passed away at the home of Mrs. McMahon in Lucknow, about three months ago.

HOLLYMAN’S QUALITY BAKERY Phone 36 Lucknow Local Tax Rate Set To Raise $17,225.21 Rate Of 42 Mills On Total Assess­ ment ,Of $414,505.00 Gives The Above Amount. By-Law, No. 3, 1935, was passed by the Village Council, at an after­ midnight session at their October meeting on Tuesday night, that set the amount of assessable property in the village, the amount of money to be raised by property tax­ ation and the rate required to ac­ complish this. The total amount of assessable property is $414,505.00 with $17,225.- 21 the amount to be raised in taxes which requires a rate of 42 mills, to achieve this. The mill rate and amount to be raised for various pur­ poses is: County Rates ___. 6.5 $2509.28 Village Rate ........12.7 5265.21 Street Lighting ..... 3.7 1533.67 Debentures & Int.3.1 1284.97 School Purposes ...16.6632.08 42.$17225.21 To Check Up On Time A long list of accounts were pre­ sented for payment, including the pay sheet of the gang of men em­ ployed on the streets. In the latter case their checks were witheld until Councillor Ferguson checked up re­ garding overtime work appearing on time reports of some of the work­ men. Well Under Test The secondary well which has been under test for the past several days, is providing a flow of about 100 gallons a minute, which is twice as much water as that required by the bonding of the Surety Co. Dur­ ing this pumping test, the water which grades highly pure under the ' Dept of Health analysis, has been turned into the standpipe, and do­ mestic users have noticed a marked difference in the water, due to the wide variance of hardness between the two waters. A sediment cloudi­ ness has been noticed during pump­ ing tests, and Council discussed the possibilities of sealing the well at a certain depth as a means of over­ coming this. Library Delegation The report of the Inspector of Pub­ lic Libraries, which stated that the municipal grant of $325 was $150. below the statutory requirements, resulted in a delegation from the Library Board waiting on the Coun­ cil. In the meantime the Provincial grant is being withheld from the Library Board. Present at the meeting was Mr. John Joynt, reeve of Lucknow at the time the Town Hall, including the Carnegie Library, was built. He recalled negotations at that time. Council and the delegation discussed the matter at length. No action was taken by Council Tuesday night, but at a special meeting it is plan­ ned to draft out their findings which, will be submitted to the Library Board, which In turn can be forward­ ed to the Inspector’s department. MIXED BIBLE CLASS Beginning at four P.M. Sunday, October 6th, a mixed Bible class (Interdenominational) will be taken by Mr. D. G. MacKenzie at the Or­ ange Hall. It is felt that this will supply a long felt need and we ask all who are interested to be present. The hour is fixed at four o’clock so that all who desire may attend their own Sunday schools first, and then come to the Hall. Come and bring a friend HELP FROM DIFFICULT READING Difficult reading causes many worries. The cause of this con­ dition is natural and inevitable. If old sight (at about middle life) is the cause of it, or errors of vision, the only known perm­ anent relief results from an ex­ amination and the wearing of corrective lenses. Never delay this need. ARMSTRONG’S Eyesight Service THANKOFFERING MEETING The Thankoffering meeting of the W. M. S. of the Presbyterian Church will be held in the church on Wed­ nesday evening next, October 9th, , at 8 o’clock. The guest speaker will be Miss Dorothy Douglas. Everybody welcome. Village Streets Are Ahum With Activity Street Widening Well On The Way —Bell Telephone Gang Replacing Poles Lucknow’s main street, which has been a hive of activity for some time is rapidly showing the result of the work being carried out. Quite a ! in the street widening pro­ gram, which has reached the stage when County machinery is this week pouring tar. The former grass boulevards have been removed and the cement curbs broken down. Finely crushed gravel, which is poured over with tar and then rolled under great pressure, is the system used in extending the street to the sidewalks, which will greatly facilitate previous parking problems and which should improve the appearance of the street. Bell telephone men are this week replacing Helephone poles, which have become rotten at the base. It is interesting to watch the placing of the new pole and the removal of the old one, with power supplied by their motor truck. A block and tackle* contrivance attached to the rear of the truck with cable power supplied from the motor of the truck, will re­ move with the greatest of ease, the old poles, firmly imbedded in the ground several feet. The new poles are raised in a similar manner. 1934 Taxes All Paid Ashfield Township Has All 1934 Taxes Paid Except About $300.00 Of Non-Resident Taxes. Ashfield Township can lay claim to a unique distinction and a posi­ tion envied among municipalities. While unpaid taxes are a source of worry to almost all municipal bodies, Ashfield has its 1934 taxes paid in full, with the exception of about $300. of non-resident taxes. A $70. payment made the Township tax collector last week wiped off the amounts outstanding. The satisfaction this will bring to Ashfield ratepayers, will be some­ what overshadowed by the fact that before long, in common with all municipalities, 1935 taxes will be due. Ashfield taxes for 1935, according to Clerk C. E. McDonagh, will amount to $39,150.70, levied for the following purposes. $39150.70 County rate ......*........
