LOCAL JOTTINGS The thoroughbred mastiff pup re, eently received by W. `1', Hawksbaw, died last week. Mr. Sarni Priskator has commenced the erection of a new veneered house on Huron Street. Mr, W, ifawkshaw, of Seaforth, has rented the. Central hotel. St, Marys, and will remoyeethere shortly. At Petrolia water was so scarce that it sold at two cent per pail during the dry weather the price having gone up a cent the last week, Mr, Al. Bissett has purchased the Atkinson property, on the London road and has moved into the residence owned by Mr. Snell opposite the prem- ises. According to the Bureau of Indust. ries, the rainfall in Huron for August was less than one inch; in this section it was about seven -eights less than an inch. There are not many of our citizens attending the Industriat fair this year. It looks as though the majority intend to do their best to make our own fair a success this year. This is right. Every column of a newspaper con- tains from five to twenty thousand dis- tinct pieces of metal, according to the size of the paper. The displacement of one of these means an error. Is it any wonder that errors' sometimes oc. cur. ,A wooden structure has been built to the south side of Rollins, & William's. Mill, which will serve to protect teams. from the hot sun while awaiting ex- change of loads. D'ir. Levi t elper, of Seaforth and W, cudmore, jr., of Tuckersmith, arrived home from the Old Country on Monday. They were gone about five weeks, and had a very pleasant visit. Mr, Walper says.the weather was very wet and gloomy while he was there., and he only saw the snn shine twice. • We learn that two pupils from a cer- tain country school in this county wrote on the Public School Leaving Examination, and, before learning the result, wrote also on the higher and supposedly more difficult examination for third class teachers. They were both plucked in the leaving examina- tion, but passed for thirds. On page 4 a list of fall fair dates will be seen. Bear in mind that Steph- en and Usborne's annual exhibition will take place September 24th and 25th and will be the best agricultural fair this fall, outside of the great cities, The directors allow no false games on the- grounds, neither do they go in for bogus attractions. What they are working for is a good exhibition of the products of town and country. So come and make a good display yourself and see others do the same. Send postcard to secretary for a prize list.

Miss Orrango, of Glencoe, formerly of Exeter, has been paid her $5,500 by the township of Euphemia against which she secured damages for injur- ies received on the road: The township raised the money ou debentures, which sold well. , At a ball in Southampton recently, the crowd was made up of seventeen gentlemen and one hundred ladies. The seyenteen representatives of the male sex were so much in demand that they were almost hugged to death. Southampton ought to be a perfect bachelors' paradise. use" On Sunday night last during the violent storm a large portion of the roof of Mr, _Isaac Carling's barn situa- ted a little south of the town was blown off, and carried several feet away. Also a large shade tree standing in front of Mrs. Templeton'sresidence was brought low by the wind. Statistics of the Toronto observatory show that the rain fall during the month of August was the second small- est during 55 years for that month. The actual smallest occurred in 1876, but the three months June, July and August of this year have been the dryest of which there is any record in Toronto, only 3,0,0 inches of rain have fallen, We are requested to call special Rt. tention to the Aniversary and Harvest Thanksgiving services announced for St Patrick's °hutch, l3iddulph, un Sun. day Sept. 23rd, at 11 a. m.. Rev. J. W. Hodgins, of Seaforth, Rural Dean of Huron County, is to exchange duty with the Incumbent and to preach the Anniversary sermons in Biddulph and at St Paul's Church, Kirkton, at 7 p. in. If there is anything that makes a Fall Fair a success it is a big exhibit both for quantity and quality. We do not know whether • all our business men intend making representative displays of their various articles of merchandise, but we heard one say he wee going to "spread " himself {, and from what we know of him he is quite capable of doing it, both as a mechanic and quality of his goods. He is a rust- ler for business. Watch, and you will see him at the fair. Just imagine how nice a good display of lamps would appear, or a ease of hardware, a display of farm machinery, a display of musi- cal instruments, well arranged cases of millinery, drygonds, hosiery, confect- ionery, in fact, a general business dire play, Now is the time to think about it and commence arrangetrients.. Let all make an exhibit. Jollnston's Fall Anhioullcell1ent 1 Mr. D. Johns received a fine Beagle hound from Westchester, P. A., Monday./' The large sky -light was biown ofl"'the Central Hotel during the heavy wind and rain storm min lay night and was carried seyeral rods away. All the lass was brok- en. Every hand in the store is now busy. Case after case of different kinds of goods have been opened out for your inspection and fall trade is pretty active. Our Stook of German Mantles will be found one of the most attractive feature of our stock. Dress Goods, Trimmings, Flannelettes, Shirtings, Cottonades, Tweeds, Mantle Cloths. Our stook of clothing as usu- al is large and values much better than formerly. Boots and Shoes from best mak- ers. . . , The plaik sidewalk on the west side of Main Street, extending from Dr. Rollins' oftce to Hawkshaw's Hotel is to be re- placed by an artificial granite walk. This is a move in the right direction and the good work should be commenced immediate- ly before the wet weather sets in. On Monday night last during the heavy rain storm some unknown party or parties effected an entrance into Mr. Joseph Cobble- dick's hardware store by prying the back win dow up with a wooden bar used for peeling bark off logs. After getting in they lit a lamp and proceeded to plunder but were dis- turbed before securing much. It so happened that Mr. Samuel Sanders, who lives nearly opposite the store, had been awakened by the stone, and at once got up. On noticing the light he proceeded towards the store but before he got there the burglars had fled. The only things discovered to be missing were two or three revolvers. The bar used for prying up the window was found in the office. It had been taken from Mrs. Gould's saw mill. Mr. I. R. Carling and the "good Dea- con" were out coon hunting. Tuesday night and 'succeeded in capturing a monster weighing over 20 pounds. .Any person wishing to make entries for the fall exhibition before the day of fair may do so by sending a list of their intending exhibit to the Secre- tary, A. G Dyer. By so doing•it will saye much confusion and time at. the entry office on clay of fair. One dollar must accompany all lists from intend ing exhibitors unless they are already members o the society. The Canada Presbyterian has a qur- rel with the courts, and a great many people will agree with it in propound- ing the following questions:—"Why should any decent citizen summoned and compelled to give evidence be grossly insulted for giving the evi- dence that the law compels him to give? Why should a course, bulling lawer be allowed to abuse decent citizens in a court room in a manner that he dare not adopt anvwhereelse? Why should a court sustained by the people's money be used as a means of accusing decent people of the crime of perjury? There are some things worse than a bill of costs, and a dirty, cowardly insinuation that you are committing perjury when telling the truth is one of them. After the most successful season in the history of Grand Bend Park, the proprietor, Mr. John Spackman, and his worthy wife returned to their home here on Saturday last. The season is not quite over, but owing to important and pressing business Mr. Spackman was compelled to leave rather sooner than he would have otherwise. He in- forms us that the season has been a pleasant and profitable one indeed, and has been a great source of attraction to both young and old. Although ex- ceedingly anxious to accommodate all, on time5.it was impossible to do so. One most gratifying feature was that out of the many thousands who visited this popular resort this season, not a single case of accident was reported. May Mr. S. see many seasohs of a like kind is the wish of the ADVOCA'rrr. ReMintIer .045,, Some extra snaps in white and colored crockery. G. G. JOHNSTON, Exeter.

McMurch- ie,Clinton, who constitute the House of Refuge Committee, met in Mr. Mc Murchie's office, Clinton, on Friday, to arrange details connected with the erection of the building. It was de- cided to sink a well on the,place, and erect a windmill at once, and adver- tise for tenders for the erection of the building, the above committee to meet and open tenders just before the De- cember meeting of the County Council. Aro Yon on the Lists The Dominion voters' list are now being revised. Every available per- son who is entitled to a vote should at once endeavor to hay° his name placed on the preliminary lists, which must be completed by the first of October. If a flame is on the preliminary list it is far easier to keep it on than it is to make an application to haye it placed on at the final revision, and if any per- son disputes the right of another to be on, it rests upon him to prove that he. should be off, whereas if you are not on the preliminary list you have to prove you are entitled to be on when the time for final reyision comes. Council] roeeedin s. The Council met at the Town Hall 10th Sept, 1894, all present. Minutes of previous meeting read and confirmed A petition signed by J. A.
