At the annual meeting of the Goder-
Ich Agricultural Society, held at the
town hall on Saturday afternoon, the
members beard the most gratifying fin-
ancial statement that has been pre-
sented to the Society for a good many
year& With all prise money and ac-
counts paid and the note 1n the bank
cleared off, there will be a email bal-
ance to the credit of the treasurer.
The president. William Green, 1*
addressing the meeting, gave credit for
this good result to the fine co-opera-
tion which existed among the (dicers
and directors of the Society.
Mr. Green went on to speak of the
visit of J. A. Carroll, Provincial super-
intendent of fairs. to the Ooderlch Ex-
hibition last fall. Mr. Carroll was
well pleased with the equipment and
with the exhibition generally, tmt ••
a few suggestions for improvement.
One was that a show ring be provided
for the judging of live stock, prefer-
ably opposite the grandstand, with a
load speaker for announcements to the
spectators. Another was that some
protection be provided for the baking
exhibits.
Mr. Green sold that having given
two years to the office of president be
desired to retire, but hs would be
heartily behind whoever might he
chosen for the position. He thanked
all who had co-operated In the work,
the municipalities for their grants, and
everyone who bad given assistance in
any way. The Society was now In
good shape. be said, to go ahead for
another year.
Reports from chairmen of the var-
ious
anlous committees were then called for,
and in response several of the chair-
men gave brief oral reports of the
operations of last year to their several
departments.
The question of holding a nes crop
competition this year was tinctured
and was referred to the new board of
directors.

tive utterances. Describing Mr. Met-
huen King, Liberal leader, as "too
greatest theoretical reformer In this
country," Dr. Manton declared amidst
• immoral uproar 1n the Boum that
"i this man Hanemann, who was
esaukted last night, had had Mr.

• cords that he withdraw the statement,
Dr. Manioc stoutly refused to do so.
seem he had not compared Mr. King
b tihsptmnn. Dr. Manton pic-
tured the choice before the Canadian
people at the next election as being one
between "Mr. Bennett as a was of se-
ttee;

14,. King as a sun who talked, wrote
beets and appointed cemaittees, but

the many expenses of the men. Some
of their expenses include 56 for gas

WINTER =NZ DOS ,
BIN GETS TES OALL
As a favorite mode of travel during
the summer months the automobile
without a doubt is the leader, but it
bids fair to be almost eliminated In
winter, according to observations inar
this pt of the country, especially
during stretcbes of very bad weather.
1t is admitted, ho, that cutters and
sleighs, when the meow is deep, are
preferable In place of autos for both
romantic and practical reasons.

A MUSICAL TERM
Those attending the concert In the
parish hall of 8t. George's church on
Friday night were given an unusually
Ane musical treat by the visiting art-
ists, Idris Hopkins, male alto and pian-
ist, and Dennis Cullen, robust tenor.
These gentlemen, very talented musi-
cians, presented a most enjoyable pro-
gram of modern and seventeenth cen-
tury music In their two-part program.
In the second part, in which their
splendid voices were turned to the
ballads and selections of several cen-
turies ago, the artists wore the cos-
tume of that period.
The musical evening was given un-
der the auspices of the choir of St.
George's church.

At least they attribute the following
bit of political wisdom to the 8altford

'That man Bennett is no good,' gnoth
Davy in all sertotameas. "Why. people
