Mr. Hunkin of Farquhar, aged 81 years, was an interested visitor at London Fair last week. Mr. Hunkin remembers distinctly the first fair ever held in London, which was about 60 years ago, he having walked down to see It. Not many people who attend- ed the first fair are Hying to -day. We are indebted to Mr. L. M. Hun - kin for a copy of the Hamiota, (Man.) Echo, a very newsy local paper. In a letter Mr. Hunkin, says: "We are just finishing harvesting as good a crop as the West has ever seen, the weather being excellent throughout, warm and dry. A great deal of the wheat is be- ing threshed from the stook and all is No, 1 hard. The sad death took place at Brandon, Man., on Sept. I3, of Minnie V. Hun - kin, wife of Charles Abbott of London, formerly of Exeter, at the age of 26 years. Deceased was visiting ber mother Mrs. James Abbott at Herniate when she was taken ill of typhoid fever and erysipelas and removed to the hospital at Brandon where she succumbed.

In falling he caught the eavetrough but that giving way he fell on the bay window and from there to the ground. Luckily no bones were broken, a bruised hip and a sprained ankle constituting the injuries. A few days off work and he will again be well. Troubles never come singly, so Reeve Bobier thinks. First he had an auto- mobile that would'nt run except down a hill. He got rid of it. Next the Davies' Company thought to give him trouble in the hog business, but he wasbonorablyacquitted of that charge. Then on Friday night someone entered his office and stole his hog book and returned cheques covering some months' transactions. The thief ap- parently entered through the back door, took the books and checks from the front to rear room, examined them and carried away whiit he wanted. Mr. Bobier says he is at a loss to know what use can be made of the articles stolen, and while it is no material loss to him it will inconvenience him some- what. The Simcoe Reformer of Aug. 31st has a good article on the canning fact- ory at Delhi in which it is described as a big busy concern, employing hun- dreds of the village people, paying out over $1000a week in wages.

Delhi realizes that the canning factory is a God -send to the villsge, Thomas Keity, factory inspector for eastern Ontario, reports that all the canning factories in the east are very busy, the wages aregood, and the number of employes is very large.

"Oh Lord Jesus Christ, we implore Thee, Oh Eternal God, to have Mercy on all mankind. Keep us from all sin by Thy precious blood, and take us to Thee•eternally. Amen", is the word- ing of a prayer contained in an endless letter chain, which was handed to us the other day by an earnest Christian gentleman of town. The letter also stated that it should be sent by the re- cipient to nine other persons, . and if such be done on the ninth day he will experience great joy, but if he refuses he will be overtaken by some misfor- tune. The gentleman mentioned be- lieves and we also believe that while the prayer may be a good one,it,when made under the pressure of a threat- ened calamity, would never be of any value. He has not taken any notice of the letter other than to hand it to us,. and we think he is right. Prayer to be effective mast be the expression of an earnest desire and not such as may be made through superstition or. cow- ardice. Death of a Former Resident. A general breaking up of the system was the cause of the death of Mr. Jas, Darling at Teeswater, on the 11th, at the age of 76 years and 4 months. He was confined to his room only it week.

'He was a native of Scotland. His wife predeceased him a number of years, her remains being interred in the Ex- eter cemetery and his body was brought here and laid beside her on Wednesday of last week, the funeral taking place from the home of Mr. G. A. K. McLeod. He is survived by one son, John, of Durham, and one daugh- ter, Mrs. Forsythe of Teeswater. They with Mr. Forsythe were here at- tending the funeral.—in this connec- tion it may be mentioned that Mr. John Darling has lost through death during the past three weeks, his wife, his little child and his father, Frayue—Reid.

Sept. 12th, the event being the marrage of Mr.GarnetJ.Frayne, eldest son of Mr, John Frayne of Ushoree. to Annie M.,only daughter of Mr. Wee Reid of Exeter North. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Toll in the presence of only the immediate relat- ives of the contracting parties.
