SoccossFUL SERVICE.— Harvest Thank-nffe•iug service was conducted in Trinity church last Sunday, by Rev. F. H. Farr, B. A., Kincardine, a former ream. of the parish. Trinity church adopted the system of making up their apportionment for Mission - at y fund some yeara ago by asking for a cetaain amount and taking a Thank- of£eting collection which has always been more than what was asked for. Rev. Mr. Farr took for his text, Nehemiah 810, "Then he said unto thein, gn ynut' way, eat the fat and drink the sweet and eend Aletiots unto them for whom nothing is pre- pared, for this day is holy unto our Lord. Neither be ye sorry, for the Jny of the Lord is your strength," which was most appropriate for the nccaeinn.' $100 00 was asked for and when the envelopes WPM opened the magnifirentRUM of $180 00 was realiz- ed, which must have been very grati- fying to the Rector and Wardens. The singing of the hymns and chants by the union tenth, under the leader- ship of Jae. McGill and Mrs. R. Procter, organist, was verse -inspiring and suitable for Harvest Thank -offer- ing services. Anthem, "The song of the Reapers" was well rendered and appropriate to the sermon. Maitland Henry gang„ a solo , "God'•will take care of Yn which was very much PII'n ed h the n J Y Y congregation. &ir. Honey will be welcome ha ck, her O ch rung tastefully decorated with grain, free; and flowers, which proved that an abundant harvest had been gather- ed in the vicinity of Belgrave. The people showed their thankfulness by their offerings. Seating capacity of the church was filled to overfinwing by a union congregation which show- ed the gnod spirit of the 8 churches. The Rentor, Wardens and congrega- tion of Trinity church are to be con- gratulated that they have made up their apportionment and aseessmente for Miasma for a great many years. lir. Farr preached his fleet sermon (Thank -niter i rig) in Trinity church, $ years ago on the 2nd of Oct. 1910 and after 5 years he resigned to go to Kin- cardine. He will be welcome back to Bel grave some other time. Walton George Jackson is away to the West tan a bueiness trip, Jno.

The annual Fall Fair of Last liurnu Agricultural Society was held on the commodious: Show grounds, Brussels, rTueeday and Wednesday of last week and was an unqualified suecese. Weather probabilities were 11011P. too favorable but the rain held ole on Wednesday and as a result one df the largest crowds seen here for some years attended the Fair. Tuesday saw the placing of a large and commendable list of exhibits. While.thete was a shrinkage in "some classes in allele there was an excess over 1917, Judges got to work in good time and the prizes were award- ed by5p.m. Ladies 'department gave evidence of a fine class of work, although the majority of the prizes were captured by a few competitors. Miss Margaret Ament won 17 Red tickets. Miss Liv- ingston had the Art list practically to herself. There was a fine showing of cookery, again demonstrating the ability of the housewives of East Hur- on but owing to the early date of Fair and the demand for cream the customary large entry in butter drop- ped to a few contestants, all of whom showed prime quality. Fruit and vegetables were well represented and the floral display gave the Judges some perplexity in placing the tickets. The inside department of the Fair compared favorably with other years. There were many Al specimens of horeeflesh in the rings Wednesday, the buggy horses in roadstg Claes counting up 15 or 10, While w num- ber of old exhibitors were there nunn erous additions were made by new men in the show ring, which is a good sign. In cattle A. Hislop, O. Turnbull and Jno. Speir took good care of the Short Horne and in the grades Joe Arm- strong took 10 tickets, with Walter and Alex, Yuill, Jas, Burgess and A. G, Bishop were among the winners, J. S. Cowan and R. J Sanderson nearly swept the Leicester class of sheep and W. G. Ross had leo °ompeti- tion in Downs, In pigs J. S. Cowan took everything in Berke, and Yorks, except one prize and W. T. Grieve had everything his own way in Tame. Where were the other exhibitors we wonder P Poultry was a disappointment; when -Fairs of former years were talked of, Among the exhibitors were James Jackson, S. J. Baker, James Burgess and T. Keifer, the former twinning Downing Bros. prize for best, collection and W. S. Scott's for best pair chicks. There was big doings among the children in the foot race program and - the potato and half mile events were carried out according to annouoee- men t. Judging by the location of a large proportion of the spectators there is a charm about a good going horse for many a man and woman but the re- peated trials to get the equines start- ed for the events is annoying to the Judges and very tiresome to the crowd. If a remedy could be prescrib- ed it would be a popular move. Music for theu• ra was supplied by Henderson Juvenilep Pipe Band. of P London but owing g to their r tat ear• rival and short pl..ogram Thera was disappointment to many. The visit- ors put on some Highland dances that were cleverly done. The day's work was concluded with a great Concert• in the Skating rink when the Henderson Concert Oomp- any from London put on a varied pro- gram of vocal and instrumental music, dances, musical specialties, recitation and story, given in the large cement shed at Duff's church and proceeds will go to the School treasury. See posters for Further particulars, Mark clown the new date, Thursday of next week, Oct. Srd, Next Sunday afternoon Rev. A. J. Mann, Brussels, will preach in Duff's church. It will be the annual Thank - offering of the Women's Missionary Society and should prove an enjoyable service.

The automobile has killed the old time display of buggies, cutters, etc. at the Fall Fairs. The higher the market for hogs the fewer exhibitors. Hardly an animal on show by local hog men. A noticeable feature was the pres- ence of a large number of soldier boys who were home on farm leave. A familiar face was missiug at the Fair in the person of the venerable Hon, President, the late John Leckie• The ticket selling was well attended to by Tom Miller and Jack Duncan, They had a busy few hours in handl- ing the cash. Treasurer Black will commence paying the prizes Friday of thie'week, at Walker Si Black's store from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. Earl Ounningham's prize for a slow e. mile test of Ford cars in high gear evenuated with 4 entries. It was not as easy as it looked. A merry-go-round, couple of "Tom cat' ball throwing outfits, snap shot photographer, Sm., helped entertain the crowd and raked in the :tickles. Brussels Fair used to be a leader for quantity and quality of butter. The quality was still there but quantity was conspicuous by its absence this year. Officiary is well'pleased with the results of Fair and propose to 'outline a new program for 1919 that will out- do anything in the Society's history of nearly 80 years, The decorated Ford ear of Mrs. Our - rah, Woodstock, was a good one. Roots, vegetables, grain, fruit, etc. were the millinery trunmings. Sam. Oarter offered the special for this item. Much credit is due to James Jack- son and W. E. Knight for their splen- did array of roots and vegetables. The prizes for that display should be doubled and number of awards increas- ed, Many a man end woman went home with a white rose owing to the dili- gence and faithful work done by the Red Cross Circle tag day. Refusals to invest were few as everybody ap- peared to think the Sailors' Fund a most deserving ' g e stn cause. 191 staff t a ff o f officers consisted of Hon.
