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

an abundant harvest had been gather-

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.

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

ra
was supplied

but owing g
to
their r tat

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

service.

The higher the market for hogs the

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

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
