he would have had three.
The Independent Order of Foresters
held a picnic in Mr. Cooper's grove on

P. D. H. C. R,. D. Weismiller, and Revd's

Farmers report that the ground was
never in better condition than this sea-
son. The dry weather left the ground
loose; there being none of the usual
heavy thunder showers to pack it, and
the late rains have put it in fine work-
ing condition. The ground is also
cleaner than usual, the hot weather not
having been favorable to the growth
of weeds. The early close of the har-
vest gives a long season for fall work,
and the prospect is that an immense
bredth of land will be sown this fall,
and that the seed will be got in under
the most favorable conditions.

The scare on the scarcity of hay is
said by those supposed to be posted to
be very much exaggerated and that

year's hay on hand.

This year tomatoes seem to be a most
favorable crop, and are growing to an
abnormal size as well as ripening
evenly and well on the vines. We were
shown the other day, by Mr. C. W.
Papst, what a town man can do in to-
mato culture. Mr. Papst had growing
in his garden one that weighed twenty
five ounces, and measured 14e inches
by 16 inches. Besides this one there
are many more almost, if not equally
as large. But this monster from town
is discounted by one from the country,
of which Mr. Robert Govenlock is the
possessor. Mr. Govenlock's tomato
weighs 29e ounces, and measures 15a
inches by 16e inches. Like Mr. Papst,
Mr. Govenlock has many more large
ones, all of which are ripening nicely.
Since the above was in type, Miss Hu
gill, of John street, has just shown us
a tomato that outclassed the above
mentioned ones. This monster weighs
two pounds, one ounce. She has also
another which weighs two pounds all
but one ounce; three that weigh four
pounds; and several that weigh a
pound and a half.—Seaforth Expositor.
la Novel "Weed Buller.
Weeds along the railroad track are
now killed by the electric weed killer.
It consists 01 a car carrying a dynamo
which sends a heavy current into a sort
of 'rake of fine wires dragging among
the weeds on each side of the track.
The weeds are electrocuted down to
their smallest rootlets. It is now pro-
posed to introduce the same system in
farming,

The St. Marys Journal says:—Many
of the residents of Blanshard have re-
cently been annoyed by the actions of
two or three wandering scamps who
call at places in the absence of the men
and walk off with various articles
which they take in the face of protest,
On one occasion recently, they took a
bag of potatoes from one place and iron
harvesting machine attachments from
another. If they are caught it will be
made very hot for them.
RUDVway.'
On Wednesday evening as Mr. Thos,
Fitton and his son Saxon were taking
a pleasure drive on Huron Street, the
colt they were driviag became fright•
ened at the movements of a man on,
horseback and became unmanagable,
turning suddenly around the buggy
and occupants were upset in the ditch.
Mr, Fitton was rendered unconscious
and received a bad shaking up, while
Saxon escaped not much the worse for
his escapade. The buggy was badly
broken but the horse, which was one he
bought just on Saturday last, escaped
with only a few scratches. .At the time
of writing Mr. Fitton was obliged to
take his bed but it is hoped he will soon
recover from the shock.

Labor Day Sports,
The Labor Day sports held on the
Agricultural Grounds, Monday, under
the auspices of the Exeter Band, was a
splendid success both in point of at-
tendance, the well arranged proa'ram.
and the manner in which the eveats
were carried out. The weather was all
that could be desired and practically
every person "took a day oto" Work
was suspended by nearly all in town,
and also many in the rural district,
and with the exception of a few confec-
tionaries all stores were closed, The
day's proceedings opened in the morn-
ing with a baseball match between Ex-
eter and Clinton, but as our team had
little or no practice previous to the
game it did not prove so interesting as
it might have otherwise, although our
team succeeded in "whitewashing"
their opponents twice. The winners in
the different events were as follows: --
