Fall Fair Crowd Was Well Entertained Pony Riding, Music And Dancing, Wrestling And Boxing, Provide Entertainment During The After­ noon. The interest of the crowd at the Fair on Friday, was not entirely centred around the exhibits for there was a variety of entertainment dur­ ing the afternoon, that was popular. The Brodie Bros, from Nile, gave a skilful display of pony riding and hurdle jumping. With bay and black ponies the boys road them separately over the hurdles and then the older lad, in his early teens, standing on the backs of the team, went over the* hurdle several times without mis­ hap. So closely did the crowd press around, that the ponies did not per­ form at they can. Music aplenty was supplied by the Citizens’ Band and the Pipe Band, which took turns on the improvised bandstand. Scotch dancing by Jane Hornell, Etta Belle McDonald, Helen McDonald, Jean Culbert, Muriel Pat­ erson and Reid McKim, pleased the spectators. A wrestling and boxing show, in a poorly lighted and ill-ventilated tent, was well patronized, and even if it was “just a show,” it was worth the admission fee of a dime, the patrons thought. To make this show a drawing card, local boys are pitted against the “bad men” that accom­ pany this travelling midway. Young Jack Button of town, took on Joe de Coy in the first bout, and wrestled him for ten minutes to win $5. for “staying with him that long.” Jack went back in to wrestle him to a finish, but McCoy soon won a fall. George Whitby was next in the ring and wrestled Sailor Lobby, a tough looking hombre, with those cauliflower ears, typical of men of the mat. George won his $5. and then gave ;Sailor quite a tussle for the next few minutes before his shoulders were pinned. The shQw ended up with Nelson Stanley of Underwood taking on the Sailor for 3 rounds at a dollar per. Stanley lasted the 3 rounds. In the “fight to the finish” that followed. Nels took the count in the second round. George Taylor was referee of the bout. CON. DECKER CHURCH NOTES Presbyterian Guild Students and teachers of Lucknow High School, were enjoyably enter­ tained on Monday evening, as the guests of the Presbyterian Guild, and were welcomed by Rev. C. H. MacDonald, in brief opening remarks After the opening devotions, includ­ ing the reading of the Scripture by Marion Johnston and the repeating of the Lord’s Prayer, a splendid program was given. Misses Peggy, Marion and Helen McDonald render­ ed a vocal trio. Bessie Stewart gave a reading and orchestra music fol­ lowed. A well chosen topic was taken by Rev. Mr. McDonald. A mixed vocal quartette by Verna Steward, Arlene Jewit, Rexford Ostrander and Frank McKenzie was followed by a piano instrumental by Bessie Carn- ochan. After the closing exercises, lunch was served and an entertain­ ing series of contests conducted. PROSPEROUS CONCERN There is one manufacturing con­ cern in Walkerton which, in the face of depression years, has forged ahead and increased considerably the number on its pay-roll, enlarged its autput, and expanded its plant, and that organization i^ the Canada Spool & Bobbin Company. Mr. “Tex” Cameron holds an executive position in this Company. It was after the world-wide de­ pression had struck Canada that a second story was added to the firm’s original factory in thi^ east ward and other improvements made there, the plant of the defunct Binder Twine Company was taken over and machinery installed, and now a new addition at the latter plant, compris­ ing a 60 ft. x 40 ft. structure, which will he used for additional office quarters and packing room, has just been completed. The number of men tin the company’s pay-roll totals 107, which is the largest in the history of the concern. SHOW GIRLS WIN SUIT AGAINST PROFESSOR McKENNA Awarded $81(.69 In Division Court At London—Quit The Show Short­ ly After Visiting Lucknow. Although the Misses Violet and Winnifred Arbuckle, two young Lon­ don girls, sued Prof. McKenna in court at Hanover early in August, alleging non-payment of wages, the case was thrown out as Magistrate Walker held he had no jurisdiction as it should have been tried in Div­ ision court. The young ladies thereupon enter­ ed action in division court at Lon­ don, claiming $119.79 from Mr. and Mrs. Peter C. McKenna and the Mc­ Kenna Medicine Company, and after hearing both sides of the case, Judge Wearing gave the ladies judg­ ment for $81.69. The case first arose in Hanover where the “medicine man” was stag­ ing a show and incidentally selling medicine. Claiming they were not securing any wages, they left the show there and entered action again­ st the “professor.” The London girls left the show on July 20th. It was declared that Mc­ Kenna gave them $5 each at that time. They claimed they had been hired for $10 a week each and ex­ penses. Mrs. McKenna took the witness stand and said there must have been a misunderstanding as to the finan­ cial arrangement. They didn’t agree to pay the girls $10 a week and ex­ penses, she declared. The rift came ’ shortly after the show had visited Lucknow for a week, the latter part of June. SERVICES IN ORANGE HALL Friday evening is young people’s night st the Orange Hall. The young people are showing a growing in­ terest along spiritual lines. On Sunday evening, door will be open at 7.30. Following the usual song service, Mr. Lowey will speak on 1 Cor., 15: 3 and 4. “Is it refor­ mation Or regeneration?” TRUCKER BEFORE J. P. OVER FAIR DAY EPISODE Forbidden To 'Sell Pfeachies—Thed­ ford Trucker Persists And Appears Before Justice Of The Peace. R. M. Love, a trucker, landed into town on Fair Day loaded with celery and peaches and got into trouble for persisting in disposing of them to the crowd leaving the grounds. Admittedly, he was not the grower of the fruit, and thus could not sell them without paying a Transient Traders’ License. He was warned by Reeve Hamilton and Constable Moore not to sell the fruit. Ceasing to sell them outright, he proceeded to make a combined offer (celery and peaches) and unloaded about 60 baskets of pretty ripe fruit. As a result he was instructed to appear before Wm. Murdie, Justice of the Peace, that evening, but pro­ duced a statement, that caused local authorities to take no action until more fully informed on the fine points of the act in this respect. The written statement, Mr. Love produced, was claimed to be from the grower of the fruit, and which asserted that Love was in his em­ ploy to dispose of the fruit.

Heavy Frost The first real damaging frost of the season came during the night Friday, and on Saturday morning, flowers and gardens were black and drooping, that the day before had been a mass of color. Uncut buck­ wheat fields and garden produce suffered also. Suffers Stroke It was with surprise and regret that friends of Mr. Allan McTavish. local drayman, learned that he had suffered a paralytic stroke on Sat­ urday morning. Apparently in his usual rugged health, he was stricken while at the home of Mr. Wm. Mc­ Guire. The seizure, which struck his left side, is not a critical one and has not affected his leg, although his arm and speech are affected. Barring 'further developements his complete recovery is hoped for. Many Delighted To Hear Carrick Douglas Sing Mr. George Douglas, who spent a few days at his home here, left the first of the week, for Knox College, Toronto, to continue his term in studying for the ministry. Mr. Car­ rick Douglas of New York, spent the week-end here on his first visit back since the death of his mother, more than 2 years ago.

Of the many plays that have been presented by the Anglican Dramatic Society, possibly none have been more ably staged or more thoroughly enjoyed than was “Apple Blossom Time,” presented on Thursday and Friday, as the evening entertainment of the Lucknow Agricultural Soc­ iety’s 70th Fall Fair. The attendance on Thursday even­ ing was small, but on Friday night the seating capacity of the hall was fully taxed. The play was full . of wholesome humor and the cast of twelve characters performed their parts very ably. Rev. Gilmore, Mrs. Fred McQuillin and Winnie Thom­ son, made their first platform ap­ pearance with the Anglican Society and their stage ability proved a real asset in presenting the play. A lot of laughs were centred around the antics of two “back alley” products. Spud McClosky (Bill Hewat) and Mickey Maguire (Melvin Johnston). The cast was as follows: Bob Mat­ thews (Fred McQuillin); Charlie Lawrence (Rev. Gilmore); Spud Mc­ Closky (Bill Hewat); Mickey Ma­ guire (Melvin Johnston); Cal Pick­ ens (Rev. Geoghegan); Betty Ann Stewart (Eileen Johnston); Nancy Prescott (Dorothy Cook); Loretta Harris (Mrs. Fred McQuillin); Polly Biddle (Maud Cook); Malvina Kurtz (Winnie Thomson). The dual role of Mrs. Forrest and Annabel Spriggins was played by Mrs. Hassal. Mrs. Newton contributed instru­ mental music prior to the opening and between acts. On Friday night, a dance followed the concert and attracted a large crowd. Music was supplied by Mc­ Cartney’s orchestra. Proceeds of the combined entertainment were down somewhat from last year, but totalled more than $225.00. New Books At Library About 50 Volumes To Be Added This Saturday—Mostly Fiction MOTORIST FINED Thomas Leroy Brown of Point Clark, appeared |before Magistrate Walker on Tuesday last and was fin­ ed $2. and costs of $5.65, for driving an auto in Walkerton the previous Friday night with only one light burning. The court commented on the menace of these one-eyed cars to other motorists at night and gave warning that the practise, which was becoming all to frequent, must stop. CONCERTS ARE POPULAR Pat was always late for work and the foreman advised him to buy an alarm clock. The Irishman did so, but still he continued to put in a belated ap­ pearance at his job. “Why can’t you turn up at the right time. Pat, now you’ve got an alarm clock?” asked the foreman. “Begad!” replied Pat. “It’s no good. It goes off when I’m asleep.” The death of Wm. Gannett in his 85th year, occurred on Saturday at his home in Wingham, where the funeral service was held on Tuesday. Mr. Harry Gannett of Toronto is the youngest member of the surviving family.

Cam­ eron and his company of artists have played at Kincardine, Brussels and Teeswater during the past couple of weeks. Concerning the performance the Kincardine Review - Reporter says: “As a fitting conclusion to the best fair in the history of Kincardine Ag­ ricultural /Society was the concert presented by Cameron Geddes and company in the town hall. The con­ cert lived up to advance notices and that the hall was not packed was in no measure due to the lack of a good performance. It was a trifle late in starting and explaining this Mr. Geddes delivered a rebuke to holders of seats who failed to ar­ rive at the time the concert was scheduled to start.” ACCIDENT VICTIM BACK IN GALT HOSPITAL AGAIN Miss Emma Robertson, who was the victim of a car accident near Galt, a few weeks ago, in which she received severe head injuries has been recuperating at her home in Ripley, since her discharge from the hospital. Her jaw was broken in sev­ eral places and it was thought she was making satisfactory progress toward recovery. On Friday she was taken back to the hospital at Galt and it was found on surgical exam­ ination that it would be necessary to reset the break. The result was that a great deal of pain was suff­ ered by the patient and she will now be compelled to spend a few more weeks in that institution. Mr. Bert Geddes was also badly injured in this same accident. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mrs. M.
