At a meeting at McKimm's school house, near St. Marys, the other night, a farmers' apple syndicate was formed for the purpose of shipping their own apples and securing the advantage of the British markets for their fruit.

Boz, thron and his esteemed, father have, owing to slow collections been obliged to hand over their stocks to their creditors, Mr. Bontborn'Si , has been in business at Rodgerville for, years and was at one time quite weal- thy, but the credit system and its at- tendant evils proved too much for him. .His son Robert was among the first to start in business in Hensel' and has quite a reputation as a close careful buyer but he has lost heavily on bad accounts. It is to he, hoped that some arrangement may be effected whereby they may each be enabled to take an - ;ether start," The ADvoCATI from now to Jana 1st 1.897 for only 20 cents.

It will greatly please the noble army of wheelman to note that a rider has secured damages from a dog owner, whose canine terror tumbled the exas- perated rider from his bike.

A writ bas been issued in the Huron county courts against W. J. Wright, of Hamilton, in which Miss Raehel'Gordon, of Goderich, claims $2,000 damages.

The action will likely be brought to trial at the next court of assize for Huron county. Wright's friends do not think that there is any- thing in the case, and that it is simply a matter of bluff.

To. the third boy he will say, "Who was the first' woman? "and so on. Just be fore the inspector came round the first boy asked to leave the room. The in- spector came, and going to the first boy (who was in reality the second, as the first bob had left the room;) he said, "Well, my boy, who made you ? "Adam, sir," said the boy, ?'Oh, no! Adam did not make you. God made you." "Then I know he didn't, 'cos the one that God made is goi,e round to the back." Boy Wanted, A good strong boy wanted to learn the arG of printing.

A Ooo tL At Whitby fair this year, the follow ing was otic of the rules, which should be copied by some of our fair managers hereabouts: "No exhibitor is' allowed to show anything but a new article, and one which has not taken a prize before: A declaration to that effect must be made before the exhibitor is allowed to enter his or her: goods." This rule not only shuts out a class of exhibitors who travel from fair to fair throughout the province, but would ex- clude a lot of articles that have annu- ally taken prizes for the past ,six or eight years, Business Change.

A Lesson in Advertising "If the retailers now organizing against the departmental stores had used printers' ink as freely as the pro- prietors of the big places have, their business would not have deserted them as it has in some many eases. The growth of the departmentais is the di- rect result of advertising. The ex- penditure of ten, twenty, and even fifty thousand a'year in this way by one firm .is the secret of the success attain ed. There is no reason in the world why a man cannot conduct a single ge line business in competition withthe departmental stores and succeed. The first requisite, however, is liberal space in live newspapers with good circula- tions. If a business man will keep posted on the state of the market, buy right, sell at a reasonable profit, and let the people know about it, he will sell the goods and make money. The fifty per cent. days are past. A more modest profit must satisfy the retailer nowadays, and on this basis there is as good a chance for him today as ever there was."—Toronto News. Death of Dan Dewar. Mr. Dan Dewar, the popular proprie- tor of the Albion Restaurant, London, and well known to many of our readers died at Gare-Lochhead Scot- land, on Monday September 28th. Mr. Dewar's death was not wholly unexpected. He had been ailing for about two years with what was sup- posed to have been an ordinary stomach trouble. The skill of the best physi- cians in the city could not bring much relief, and Mr. Dewar decided to go to the old country for advice, and if need be treatment. Accompanied by his wife he left on June 23rd for Glasgow,' Scotland, and there be entered an in- firmary. Shortly after arriving, Mr. Dewar underwent an operation, and it was then that the cause of his ill -health was learned. He was suffering from a tumor, but the surgeons found that they could not remove it without en- dangering the life of the patient. After remaining in the infirmary for eight weeks, Mr. Dewar went to Dunchattan Cottage, where he died two weeks later. The ;remains were shipped to London on Oct. Sth. Personal Mention On Thursday Mr. S. Wood left Exeter. to spend a couple of weeks with friends in Crediton.—On Saturday Mr. R. R. Nelson and family removed from Exeter.

At a meeting of the dire:,tors of the South Hul•on Agricultural Society;4held in Seaforth on Saturday last, it was de- cided. to hold a fat stock show under the auspices of the society this year again. The show will be held in the agricultural building's, here on Friday, December, 4th. As swill be seen in the advertisement which will be found in another column, a liberal and varied prize list is offered. In a county where so many are engaged in feeding and fattening stock, and where so many really fine animals are each year being turned out, a show of this kind should be made a great success, and be pro- ductive of much good. There will, no doubt, be a large number of buyers in quest of Christmas meats, present,, and all who have real. good animals .to dis- pose of will there meet buyers which, they would not likely see but for the show, while buyers will also find this an excellent opportunity to get the very best stook with but little trouble. The Agricultural buildings have been procured for the show, so that parties bringing animals will have comfortable quarters in which to show them. We hope those for whose especial benefit this show is being gotten up will show their appreciation of the efforts the society is making in their behalf and that they have prepared for the show as many animals as possible, We be- lieve it only requires a little effort at first, to make the South Huron Fat Stock Show one of the largest and most successful affairsof the kind ' in the Province, A Marvel in Surgery The Bethany Visitor,' Kansas City, contains the following concerniug a clever surgical operation performed by Dr. S. 1, Harrison, son of Mr. Richard Harrison, of this village, which reflects great credit on his skill and abilities as a surgeon and physician:—"Among the many cases coming under observation there are some of special interest. Es- pecially interestiug because of,peculiar features or conditions present. On gen- eral principles hospitals catch the more difficult cases, and this is one of the features of the service that makes it in- teresting to physieians of ability and courage. No doubt many persons will. recall the shooting affray which oc- curred some four weeks ago in the bot- toms, Kansas City, Ilan., in which one James Weston, a colored man, was the victim. Quickly as was possible he was brought to the Hospital, put under the influence of anaesthetic and examina- tion made, the abdominal cavity thor- oughly cleansed from leakage, stomach and gali.bladder stitched up, and made as comfortable as possible with little, if any, hope of recovery. The case was the subject of comment by the daily papers, and general enquiry by persons giving g g to the case, because of its very threatening character, no one cognizant of the real condition had hopeful words concerning the case. Dr. S. I. Harrison, assisted by Dr. P. D. Hughes performed the operation with the greatest care possible under the ob- servation of several doctors, all of whom prophesied a fatal termination of the case. Several times he seemed indeed to be wrestling with the monster death, but through the best of attention and nursing, the man ,is up on his feet again walking about the premises and bids fair to enjoy life again. Mitchell: Next week Mr. Albert Babb, who was born and raised in town, moves to Milbank, where he will open a general store and Mr. Thos. Mcllon- ald has disposed of his grocery business to Mr. A. A. Bogart, of Deseronto, Parkhill:. Charlie, the six year old son of Mr. Robt Kirkpatrick, of the Parkhill tannery, met with a serious accident on Saturday, one of his legs being broken through haying become entangled in a hind. wheel of a buggy which was in motion. Goderich: On Sunday Alex. Mc- Kenzie, an old resident of Goderich, died at his residence, at the age of 71 years and 6 months. Deceased had been ailing some four years, but it was not until the past few months that his illness became serious. Goderich: While practicing football on the Agricultural grounds Monday evening, E. Coultes, of the G. C. 1. team strained the joint of his knee in some unaccountable manner. The accident proved a yery painful for some little time. It is thought no serious results will follow. Wingham: Dr. J. P. Kennedy per- formed a most serious and difficult operation on Tuesday, on Mrs. Wight - ham, of Adrian, Mich., in removing an abdominal tumor. The doctor was as- sisted by Dr. Gunn, of Clinton, and Dr. J. R Macdonald administered the chlo- roform. The patient is doing as well as could be expeeted. St. Marys: On Saturday morning, Gertrude, the young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Aiken, of Brantford, fell down 'stairs at the residenceof her uncle, Mr. Jos. W. Oddy, in this town. On examination by the doctor it Was found that her left collar bone was broken, " The fracture was reduced and the child is progressing favorably. Mitchell: A horse driven by the youngest son of W. R. Davis ran away on Friday last, and the rig collided with a buggy, which was passing a load of hay, in which was Mr. Groot and another gentleman from Dublin. The vehicle was upset and the two.oc- cupants were thrown out. Both bug- gies were badly demoralized, but be• ,gond this there was no other 'damage. Goderich Tie On Thursday as Mr. Jos- Whitely. sr., was picking apples in his orchard, he met with an accident. which might have proved fatal. It seems the old gentleman had ascended iadder, and, when in the act of pick- ing, lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground, injuring his spine.' He is now improving, but the effects will be felt for some time, as Mr. Whitely is getting well up in years, =meter's Y ,amge°C =eaters.
