Lists and they are now in the hands of Secretary McTavish for mailing and distribution. The Fair is one of the big events of the surrounding re- gion; the directors are representative of the village and country and through their co-operation, especially in the past few years- has the fair been brought to a place where it is recog- nized as one of: the leading exhibit- ions of the province. It has been well sustained, but there will be no objection to even greater effort on the part of all concerned. It must be remembered that the directorate are only the agents of the people, that they cannot do all but must have the sympathetic and active support of the district. President Jas. Burgess is an efficient guide and no mistakes will be made in ,following his lead. Let us step into line, Allan Lamont is a Real Guesser. While attending Toronto Fair on Labor Day and the following Tues- day, Allan Lamont took a guess at Paper Was Late. Owing to -Monday being.a holiday last week, and the Editor over -stay- ing his holidays at Toronto, on ac- count of the operation on Mrs. Kerr, The Post was delayed. We had a "peck" of trouble to get an operator for the linotype and this also delayed matters. This week we hope to get everything running smoothly again. Building Summer Cottage. James McFadzeani and David Cun- ningham are away this week assisting Walter Rose, of town, to build a ausnmer cottage at his ehnmping ground on the shores of Lake Huron up in Bruce County. Mr. Rose and family have spent the past two holi- day seasons there and is making pre- parations for better conveniences in the future. A Beautiful Display.

As an elder sister, who hits upon the idea of a fictitious marriage to enable her younger sisters to marry she starts a most .amusing series of situations, Proper Aunt Lydia is in on the deal too, much to her distaste and apprehension. Daddy swallows the tackle, sinker and all, when Cyn- thia shows him the ring, and an- nounces that her hubby, a Major Smith, has just sailed for Nicaragua to join his regiment. Then a nice young man comes along and elynthia wishes she ]Hadn't married, Making herself a widow, by death notices in the papers, seemed the easiest way out , but this caused a Major Smith, who happened to be in a Nicaragua hospital to investigate. Claiming to be a Major Adams, bosom friend of the deceased, he called upon the merry widow. To make things worse daddy liked him and decided to keep him around a while. Meanwhile "Major Adams" sought Cynthia's company assiduously, as she avoided his. Ile could speak, so it seemed, of nothing but the Major and the sad manner of his death.

The advice of the Highway De- partment for pedestrians walking a- long the highways is that they walk along the left side of the roadway. This is in order that they may be 1 facing the traffic and so he. a better position to avoid it and they would be if they were on the right hand side of the road and had to be con- stantly turning round to see the traffic coming from behind them. Was a Success. The Ontario Department of Game • and Fisheries has had quite a suc- cessful season this year in the artifi- cial propagation of bass for distribu- tion in the different lakes and rivers of the province. Some 20,000 good• sized fingerlings have been raised al- ready. In the opinion of Donald Mc- Donald, Deputy Minister of the De- partment, the 70,000 mark will be reached by the end of the year. Last year only 5000 bass were propagat- ed altogether. Climatic conditions aided the spawning season this year in a remarkable manner, Minor Locals. Time 'co have chimneys cleaned.

Brussels was visited by_ a refresh- ing rain on Monday about 5 o'clock. The day had been very warm. Week end highway tragedies con- einue to take up quite a bit of space in the dailies. Surely there must be some way of overcoming this growing evil. Minor Locals. Boost Brussels Fair! 't means much to the show and incidentally to Brussels. Terrible as is Ontario's record of motor car crashes that of Quebec ap- pears to be far worse. According to official figures there were close on two thousand of such accidents in that province between May 1st and July 25. Theprincipal cause of these disasters are declared to be speed at street intersections and "cutting in", or trying to pass a car ahead. The causes seem to be the same everywhere. Bert Gorrell Suddenly Called To Higher Reward. • The Oxbow Herald, of August 30, had the following which refers to the husband of Eva Can'celon, a niece of Mrs. S. Carter, and who was a for- mer resident of town. Old friends 'here extend their sympathy to her and her daughters in their loss:— Like a bolt from the blue sky came the almost incredible news during the early hours of Monday morning that Herbert Alexander Gorrell, a highly respected resident of the Bow district hada been suddenly stricken while walking through his farm -yard and r passed away from a heart ailment. 1 Dr. H. G. Pickard was hastily sum- moned, and every aid known to medical skill was employed in an ef- fort to resusciate+him, but proved of no avail, life was extinct. While it was known thed ceased had suffered from a heart affliction for years, his sudden passing was a great shock to the community. The deceased was born at Birtle, Jan, 27th, 1885, and was therefore in has 44th year. In April of the sante year the family moved 'co Oxbow, making a home on the present farm where deceased has resided all his life. "Bert" as hewas familiarly called, was an exemplary character. Early in life he joined the Methodist church and for years iden- tified himself with the young people's work, being a consecrated and con- sistent worker in anything under- taken. Following the eonsumation of -union he continued his membership in the United Church, where he has always taken his place in the various activities. He was an enthusiastic farmer and took a keen interest in stock and hae always been an exhibi- tor and a staunch supporter of the Oxbow Agricultural Society. For years he has been a valued member of the Bow school board, having discharged the duties of secretary - treasurer. He was hard-working, industrious, and made a success of his life -work, despite its every obstacle. He also possessed a pleasing affable disposition and his passing break a tie and leaves a gap impossible to fill; but such is the enigmal of mortal, vision, which some day surely will be explained. In June 1914, he was married to Eva Cantlon, and to this happy union three daughters were born, Alda, Myron and Frances. The funeral, officiated by the Rev. R. C. Pollock, assieed by Rev. E. J. Rainey, of Ala- meda, was held 'ooday (Thursday) from St. Paul's United Church, where a large concourse of friends assembled to pay their last respects to one beloved by all who knew him. A wealth of beautiful floral offerings betokening the sorrow of friends of the family, covered the casket. Re- latives and friends from a distance attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs, R. Gorrell„Crystal City, Man.: 111r. and Mrs. F. Gorrell, Regina; Mr. John Gorrell, Carberry, Man,;' Mr. and Mrs. H. Fogel, Brandon; Mr, and Mrs. R. Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Funeral of the late George Longfoot. The funeral of George Frederick Longfoot, 235 William street, city, took place from his late residence. The funeral was in charge of the Masonic Order, of which 'ohe late Mr, Longfoot was a member. Rev, G. A, Mackenzie, of the Congregat- ional church conducted the service, assisted by Rev.
