THE POST is pleased that East leurop Society has kept clear of the rocks and, barring bad weather and law suit, has always been able to square off each year with ledger show- ing a credit belance, Nevertheless there are many in this locality who have never helped to snake it go better who ought to, A membership of +300 is a figure that could easily be attained if there was the rally that a fine agri- cultural country like that surrounding Brussels should be able to set in mo- tion. While the Government grant is not now based on membership that is much to be desired in a solid phalan garrisoning the directorate and popu- larizing an institution calculated to do good to a community. A good live Agricultural Fair is one of the best ad- vertisement a neighborhood can have and does a work that yields a wider in- fluence than is imagined. The writer could cite many instances known to him of business done by meritorious ex- hibits at Fairs, particularly in live stock grain,[fruit, agricultural implements, buggies, cutters, etc., and not infrequent- ly the non -supporter of the Show is one who profits by the efforts of his neighbor. There's power in concerted effort hence every good farmer or townsman who adds his unit in aiding to the well being of an agency capable of great' good Cheer up the Directorate by giving the Agricultural Society a boost." Bro. Derr has hit thenail on the head in the above article. The editor of the TIMES has been Secretary of the Wing - ham fall fair for ten years and knows that "financially" it is a hard matter to manage a fair. One'year Wingham fair suffered by bad weather. Total receipts of less than $200.00 and prizes and other expenses of nearly $1,000 and all paid in full. So many people know (a few days before date of fair) just what should be done, but they never attend an annual meeting or as- sist in any way to make the fair a suc- cess. Wingham is one of the best centres in Western Ontario for a fall fair and the people of this section should take a deeper interest in the work of the Agricultural Society. Wingham fair should have a membership of five hun- dred in place of one hundred and fifty. t The annua 1 meeting will be held in b January and at this meeting we hope to s see a larger attendance and a greater interest taken in the society's work. •.oeee.m amu....,,.

Dr. Field, I.P.S., acting secretary - treasurer, then read the minutes of the meeting of 1913, which were adopted.

Naylor very briefly outlined his address on "Physical Trainings in Pub- lic Schools," as taught at London and pointed out the chief benefits of such a course and the good results it would have in correcting the many imperfec- tions in habits. Dr. Field then moved, seconded by Mr. iio'!and, that Messrs. Posliff. Nay- lor, lBouck and Henderson be a commit- ee to consider a scheme for the distri- ution of some of the funds of the In- titete for the benefit of the teachers Change in Dray Business. Mr. W. G.

Mr. I3reckenridge will hold an auction sale of farm stock and implements on October 3Ist and will then move his family to town. We have not learned what Mr. Gray's plans are for the future.

The Grand Jury of Toronto Assizes recommended that the driver of every automobile be required to pass a quali- fying examination and pay a moderate license fee. The jury. in its reports, I made a comparison between motor cars and the locomotive. The driver of the latter was qualified even if his machine ran in its own right of way, and tres- p assers were forbidden. The autonio- bile, a modern invention, for which roads were not built, was driven every-.' where by persons who had no qualifrea- tion. and schools of East Huron. The motion was amended by adding Dr. Field's name to the committee and adopted. The election of officers was then pro- ceeded with and resulted as follows: President—Mr. Shillin.glaw, Seaforth.

Great Breadth of Advertising If you would go through the adver- tising columns of this newspaper and carefully compile a list of all of the various activities touched upon it would astonish you, especially if you have never given the subject much thought. Nothing much that is worth while goes on that is'nt benfitted by newspaper ad- vertising. Merchants use it because they have demonstrated more than any other class of advertisers that it pays. Also it is a part of the merchant's ser- vice to his patrons to keep them inform- ed of his doings and his wares. The newspaper is indeed a veritable index of all that is going on an this communi- ty in the way of business and profes- sional activity. The field is so com- pletely coveted that the advertising news is as important as the regular news. Death of Miss Henry, The Clinton New Era in recording the death of Miss Henry, sister of Airs, S. Brown, of this town, says:—Miss Ros- anna Henry, of Clinton, who has been ill for some months passed away on Thursday morning, October il, at .the home of her brother, Mr. J. E. Henry, Victoria street. Miss Henry had been a faithful member of the Methodist church all her life, a faithful follower of the Christ whom she so truthfully served, highly respected by all who knew her and loved by all her friends. She bore her sickness with Christian fortitude and patience. This is the v fourth of the family who has passed to b the great beyond in the last four years. Deep is the heartfelt sympathy to the T bereaved ones who are left in the com- m munity in which they live. She leaves to mourn her loss three brothers, John, in William and Jarvis, all, of Clinton; r three sisters, Mrs. I H. Barr•, of Clin ton; Miss Charlotte, of Clinton, and 0 Mrs. S. Brown, of Wingham.

This week we record the death of another pioneer in the person of Wil- liam Wellwood, who passed away at his home on Patrick street, on Sunday morning last in his 71th year. Mr. Wellwood had been in poor health for some months. Ile was born in the county of Lanark, near the town of Perth and when a young man came to Huron county, settling in the Township of West Wawanosh, taking up what was then a bush lot and which is now one of the best farms in the township. For a number of years 141r. Wellwood was extensively engaged in the cattle business and shipped large numbers to the Old Land. A Tittle over nine years the subject of this notice retired from the farm and moved to Wingham. He was a man of many sterling qualtities and was esteemed by a large circle of friends in Wingham and his old home in West Wawanosh. In religion he was a Methodist and until failing health prevented, was always faithful and regular in his attendance at Church services. In politics he was a Conserv vative. Nearly fifty years ago he married Miss C. Rogers, who, with a family of ten children, are left to mourn the loss of a faithful husband and a good father. The children are:—Robert J., Vancouver, I3.
