One of the stories circulated is that a promin- ent farmer residing on the Belgrave road saw a huge motor tar pass through his farm one oight laat week. There were two meek in the ear, one of there, delving and the other manipulating ‘search light, which used different color- ed beams of light Thebee the Men and the atito have been exinnected with the two strange towers.

Last week the subseription list of the TIMES underwent a thorough revision and as many changes were necessary, it is possible that some errors may have been made in correcting. we would therefore ask each sussriber to take a look at the date orposite his or her name on the label and see that proper credit has been given. If the date is not cor- rect, advise this office at once so that the error may be rectified, Stallion Inspection. The following are the places and dates for the Gcivernment stallion in- spection for this districte—Brussels, at Gordon McDonald Hotel, Tuesday, Cetober 27th at 8.00 a. me Bluevale, Tuesday, October 27th, at 11.30 a. m.; Wingham, Queen's Hotel, Tuesday, Ottober 27th at 2.30 p. ; and 13e1 - grave, at 4.30 same -day. The inspect- ors will be at these places promptly on date and at the hour given and *ill leave as soon as no more horses are offered for inspection. As it will be necessary for the inspectors to make close connections in each case, horse- men must present their horses promptly at the hour given. Beautiful Autumn. Never have the woods been more beautiful at this season of the year. Even the trees in town are dressed in their full beauty. This is due to heavy foliage with just sufficient frost to color the leaves. It seems as if everybody who can are lured from home these balmy days with the air smelling of fallen leaves, and the glorious feast of colas, blended together, with a result that is pleasing to the eye, as no artist but nature could blend them. Groups of men and boys with guns and dogs may be seen tramping off across the fields in quest of game, while groups of school children heading towards a patch of woods, suggest beech trees and beech -nuts. A day in the woods at this season of the year accomplishes a result stich as few things can, when through every sense we seem to be at one with nature. Bring in the News. Do you appreciate The Tietisa? Would you like to see more news in your popular home paper? Would you prefer more detail in the news that is published? If so, there is a way in Which you as, a reader, of this great family journal can help to make it more to your liking. It takes a lot of running around, much time and much incon- venience for a newspaper to gather entail items, such as personals, notices of small meetings, social gatherings, etc. It is the businese of a reporter to do this, of course, but even whet) he does his best there are always a few items left over because he has not got in touch with those concerned or does not hear of them until too late. Now, the way in which you etin heln The TIMES is to call ue up, drop us a line, drop in and tell us, or often you might as conveniently write it out and mail it to us. Anyway let us have an intimation of anything of news value just as soon as you beeome aequaihted with it. We will appreciate it and you will be making your paper that much better.

Death of David H Moffatt. The news of the death on Friday night last, of Mr. David Moffatt, of Turnberry, came as a shock to his numerous friends.

In 1VIunici- pal matters Mr. Moffatt took an active interest and served for some years in the Council and was one year Reeve, giving faithful services.

On the 4th of Febrtiary, 1880, he married Miss Mary Vogt, of Turn - berry, who survives him, and also two daughters, Mrs. Higgins of Turnberry, and Miss Jennie, at home. He is al- so survived by three brothers and two sisters, via:—Christopher, of Wroxeter; James, of Turnberry; Peter, of Morris; Mrs. Geo. Giver, of Wing - halt, and Mrs. R. Mitchell, of Howick. The funeral took place on Monday af- ternoon from the late residenee, lot 48, con 1, Turnberry to the Wroxeter ceme- tery and was very largely attended.

Olver and Robt, Mitchell alai his son-in-law, Mr. C. Higgins. Among those from a die- tance who attended the funeral were IMr, Wm. °rat, of Holstein and Hugh Ross and Miss Jean Root of Clitton. Children's Day. . Sunday last, the third Sunday :n October, being Childrens' Day through- out the Canadian Church, was fittingly observed as such in the Church of St. Paul the Apostle by special hymns, prayers and addresses at both morning and evening prayer. At the regular services the rector spoke on the import- ance of the Sunday Sceool to the work of the church and brought before his congregations the splendid work being done by the Sunday School Commission, In the afternoon a special service was held for children, when all the members of the school marched in procession in- to the church singing "Onward Christian Soldiere". Two nice anthems were sang by the little tots,' who composed the choir, and a duet was given by Masters Williams and Brown. The rector spoke to the children in a simple but impressive way on the subject of being good soldiers in Christ's army. At the conclusion of the service the children marched to the school room singing "Jesus Loves Me." Credit is eue to the teachers who trained the children to do their part so well.
