BAZAAR & CANTATA. -The an-
nual Bazaar. and Cantata under the
auspices of the Ladies' Guild and
Gids' Auxiliary of the Trivitt ivlem-
orial Church field in the Opera. House
oa Friday afternoon, and. evening, was
a most ..gratifying success to all eon -
t ernecl. The fancy work, and other
useful articles on sale in the after-
noon formed a magnificent array, be-
ing the largest display in the history
of their organization, and every ar-
ticle was disposeel of. The evening
program in •charge of the Girls' Aux-
iliary and presided over by the Rec-
tor, Rev. D. W. Collins, proved most
interestine, and entertaining, tnd its
many p1easaag .features were praised
on all'side h
s. T e plano duett
by
Mise McFauls and Miss Quackenbush
was admirably rendered, as also the
solo by Miss Edna Follick, The Can-
tate entitled "Father Tune" and put
on by the younger members of the
congregation and Sunday School, was
of a particularly bright and interest-
ing character, and considering the very
limited practice they were afforded in.
committing their respective lines and
parts much credit is reflected on
Il those taking part" and those having it
in charge. The varied character cos-
tumes were strikingly rich and appro-
propriate . Little "Jimmy" Morley
who 'appeared as one of the trio of
"April Fools" brought forth a furore
of applause and amusement in giving
his part and winding up with a :nog
dance, which was too comical for
anything ,and it certainly' brought
down the house. The drill by she
young ladies was an exceeclinglY uleas-
ang number and a fitting conclusion,
to the well arranged program. 'rhe
proceeds of the day i;r total amounted
to $135.00.

BAKING A CHRISTMAS CAKE -
We have it' from the very best auth-
ority that it baking a Christmas Cake
the cake should not be 'exposed to
the extreme- heat of the; oven without
protection and an order to give it
that ,necessary protection the pan
containing the material for the cake
should be placed in a larger pan con-
taining a quantity. of water. This
prevents the cake from burning or
,sticking to the pan, and also has a
beneficial' effect towards moistening
the cake while in process of baking.
Try this mode of baking a Christmas
cake and you will have, the very, best
results But don't forget the editor
if you test the merits, or this inforina-
tton because he likes Christmas ;eke.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM THE.
COUNTY COUNCIL
The general routine of business' was
gone through which consisted large-
ly of passing accounty and winding
up the year's business
The bridge known as the Gully
Bridge between Stephen and T3osan-
quet Townships, which has been in
dispute as, to being a County "bridge,'
was decided to be . so after Reeve
W. D. Sanders of Stephen had shown
proof of such, and on Ifs. motion, sec -
ended by Deputy. Reeve John Love
of Stephen the county of Huron as-
sumec', liability of their half of the
expense of a new bridge to be built
next year, for which there will be a
meeting of the roads and. bridge 'om-
neattees of Huron wnd Lambton in
the near future.
The question of a district ,agricul-
tural representative was Iaid over to
the January meeting. It is to be
hoped that the 1914 council willlook
more favorably; on this matter than
the council of this year. With all
due respect to the farmers of Huron
it may be said that they can still
learn .a little with regard to their
business and an agricultural repres-
entative to give lectures on the var-
ious topics of interest to farmers is
desirable, especially when thecost to
the county would be small.
The formation of a fifth school in-
spectorate for Huron and Bruce was
again up for discussion and the coun-
tcil passed a resolution disapproving of
same.
The Hydro Radial Railway , matter
for Huron not being far enough ad-
vanced, it was ,not brought up for
discussion. It is expected to be
ready for consideration at the Jan-
uary session.
An addition to the barn at the'
House of Refuge was made this year
and proved satisfactory to the .oun-
cii, -
The council disapproved of a prop-
osition to allow harmless insane per-
sons to be confined in the House of
Refuge.
On motion of Councillor. Dr. W. -T.
Clark and J. T. Winter, the County
Council of Hurou made a grant of
$100 to the Great Lakes Disaster
Fund.
From the report of John Torrance,
inspector of the House ' of Refuge
we note the following items, -Num-
ber of inmates on .Dec. 1st of this year
91 males 52, females 39, admitted
during the year 13, died 17, discharged
2. Siekness was the cause of 7 be-
coming poor,,aad old age 3. The cost
to,. the year was $8910.43; cost for
each inmate per week 92c. Produce
was sold to the value of $2392.86, and
the amount received from paying in-
mates was $918.00. •
The usual presentation of a:gold-
headed cane was made to the War-
den, who this year is Robert McKay
of Tuckersmith, The address was
read by Reeve Munn:nags of Goderich
and. the . presentation made by Reeve
Sanders of Stephen and Reeve Hea-
man of Exeter.
Some of the inen spoken of r or
the Warden's chair for next year
were Wm. Glenn of Stanley, David
Cantelon of Clinton, Robert Living-
stone of Grey and W. 13. Mannings
of Goderich.
