A FINE NIAN GONE. -When John McIntosh closed his eyes on the earth- ly scenes Wednesday evening of last week and so suddenly departed this life, ono of the spleudid men of this community passed away. He was brusque in his way and very outspoken but he had a bigheart and a sterling dthat made him hundreds of true friends who will deeply regret bis demise. air. McIntosh had not been in robust health for some time and frequently expressed his fears as what the outcome wonlcl be and the result was much as he had prophesied. Ile will be greatly missed in the corn- mnnity and his plane will not be easily filled. He was born in Perthshire, Scotland, about two miles fiom Blair Athol, 62 years ago and carne to Oan- ada with his parents in 1853. As a youngman he was following in g the oc- cupation of farmer when an accident befell him by which be lost his left arm in a threshing machine. With the • pluck and ambition he set to work to fait himself for a school teacher which avocation he followed for years with success in Grey township. Seven years ago he was appointed Township Olerk as successor to the late Win, Spence and some time lifter moved from his farm, Gbh con., to Ethel where he resided up to his decease. Later he was appointed Municipal Treastu'or and in performing his onerous duties he had special attitude. Possessed of a great memory lie could quote cor- rectly figures for almost any transac- tion that had passed before the Conn- ell and his work, both as to penman- ship, promptness encl. exactness could not be easily duplicated. Mr. McIn- tosh was united In marriage to Miss Emily Thuell, of Brussels, who with several children survive and share in the sympathy of the noighborhoocl. The funeral was first announced for Satordayafteruoon butwas postponed until Monday to permit brothers of deceased to got here, Revs. Messrs McRae and Henderson conducted the funeral service andthe pallbearers Lllbeaiters ere lbs members of (Trey Council, p�1 SS CARR were (Reeve Fraser, Deputy jjleeve Grant, ,0p. and Councillors Brown) McFadznari 04'04'04'0+,+0+++04'++0+0+0+0+4.04.00044++04.04'•+•+,444.03.0 0 1 and Oat) and Dr, Ferguson.

McIntosh will be long renrembeaeci in Ethel and locality. He was a Liberal to politics and took great interest in the ques- tions of the day. Physically he look- ed as if he might live to be a hundred but his hearttrotibled hint and was the cause of his decease.

The attendance was large and the meeting a success in every way. Miss Oamp- bell gave an inter'estiug and instruc- tive address on her work in the -mission fields in Central India. Sir- is a very earnest and able speaker and those who listened to her will feel that any aid they can Sive in advancing the cause of Missions in that far off land is nobly spent and will not lose its reward. After the address Miss Spence rendered a solo. The collection taken up at the close of the service amounted to $24.50. Biuevale Rev. W. J.

Appateutly no bones Were broken bat the fall EAST HURON FAI R A Success Despite the Wet Weather. The downpour of rain on Thursday of last week hada somewhat dampen- ing anl en-ing effect on the first day of ]fast Huron Fall Fair yet was not a deter- rent to the placing of an extensive and very choice lot of exhibits so that al- most every item on the Prize list was taken up and the Judges had xt busy time making the awards. Friday's weather, while an improve- ment on the day previous, was of the weeping variety and coupled with the sloppy roads told against the volume of spectators who usually visit Brus- sels Fair. Nevertheless the crowds came and with them a splendid exhibit of horses, cattle, sheep, bogs and poultry and in addition to the members, each of whom receives two admission tickets, the gate receipts totalled over $340.00. Tho cutting out of the speeding was rendered necessary owing to the muddy condition of the track and the lively times in the roadster horses on the track had to be eliminated for the same reason. A very catchy feature of the after- noon was the Fancy Drill put on by 16 young girls from Ethel public school under the capableinstruction of Miss Ethel Walsh, teacher of the Junior department. It was carried through without an error. The names of the pupils were :-Marion Thompson, Edith Ferguson, Vera MoOall, Pearl Dobson, Olive Cooper, Oristle Ender, Pearl Bateman, Grace Eckinier, Edith Flood; Verde Pollard, Lillian Davidson, Edith Eckmier. Laura Hemsworth, Viola Schaefer, Lucinda SlcNeeland and Della Mc- Kee. The prize list will be found on page 4 and will show how wide reaching the awards are. The concert Friday evening packed the Town Hall to overflowing and many had to be turned away. A good program was rendered. The Lucknow kilties after a bag pipe selec- tion, put on a Scotch reel and an Irish jig. Newton Large, of Owen Sound, in his four well sung solos proved his ability as a vocalist. As an old. time Beusselite he was particularly wel- come. Jas. Fax, of Toronto, who has been here a dozen or more times, was at his best. New songs, new costumes and his ability to imitate and de- lineate characters represented brought him uprorious encores to which he generously responded. He's the daddy of all the Pun makers as he sings well and hits the mark without anything objectional. W. F. Pickard, of Toronto, contributed a fine piano solo and most competently performed his part as accompanist. President Leckie was chairman. If a few of the chatterboxes had been asked to re- tire the audience was of the model variety. Fair Notes There were nearly 1,500 entries. All the Judges arranged for were in their places despite the rain. Gate receipts, notwithstanding the inauspicious weather, totalled $840. The exhibit of millinery by Miss Edith Inman was very highly com- mended. The heavy rain pub the speeding events out of question as the a mile track was too soft. Jno, Broadfoat & Son were awarded the bronze medal for the largest and best herd of grade cattle, For size and excellency of Ladies' work exhibit East Huron leads the van. It was splendid this year, S. Garter had a neat exhibit of Nordheimer pianos and many in- strumental selections were given aur- ing' Friday afternoon. Brusselttes responded quite gener- ously to the canvass of Directors Thomson and Robb, $105.00 being collected for the Fair. President Leckie, Vice -President Stewart and Director Geo. Robb were specially conspiouous by their activity in booming the Fair. Directors will meet Saturday after. noon at 2 o'clock in the Council Oham- ber, to receive reports of the B'air•. All are asked to attend. Treasurer W. Kerr will pay the prizes on Friday and Saturday. Oct.. 15 and 16, at Tax POST between the hours of 10 a. m. and 5 p. m. There was a "jam up time" in the Palace Friday afternoon whenever showers of rain chased a goodly portion of the spectators indoors. D, Ewan & Co. made an A 1 display of buggies and nutters which were duly admired eventuating in a num- ber of sides. They do a big business. Among the outside newspapermen present were Editors Messrs. McLean, of Seaforth ; Elliott, of Wingham ; Kerr, of Clinton ; and Jackson, of Blyth. The McCracken firm and Messrs. Kerney and Wilson catered in the re- freshment booth line and Mr. Evans was here once more with a Toad of grapes. Thos. Moore illustrated the capa- bilities of the Standard sewiug machiue and Thos. R. Bennett told the people all about the Grimm Maple syrup evaporator. Money is lost to the Agl. Society every year owing to the Town Hall not being large enough to accom- modate the crowd desirous of attend- ing the annual Concert. There were two entries in the boys' judging competition of thoro'bred cattle. Wilber Armstrong took 1st and Alvin McKee 2nd. There should have been a dozen entries. Superintendent of Agriculture, J. Leckie Wilson, of Toronto paid Brus- sels Fair e visit and complimented the Directorate on their fine Agricultural Hall and the spacious grounds. The visitor is a nephew of the late W. R. Wilson, a former well known resi- dent. The Me0lar•y stove people, of Lon- don, advertised their ranges by hav- ing ono in the Palace upon which biscuits were baked and coffee boiled, the spectators being treated to the finished product. Lorne Eckmier took charge of the baking. A large Dumber of ranges were sold. Thursday evening in connection with the short program at the Palace Mrs. Wright contributed a choice piano solo ; Peter Stewart and Miss Jessie McLauchlin and the same gentleman and Mrs. Geo. Thomson rendered pleasing violin and piano duets ; Miss Marjory Strachan gave a flue piano instrumental and S. Garter's gramophone did its part in A 1 style. gave him a severe shock. We hope no sevious results will follow and that Chester will soon be o. k, SCHOOL REPORT. -The following is the report for S. 5, No. 8 Grey. Ex- amined in Literature, Gram., Geo., History.
