HURON IS PROUD OP' 'EM. "-
The I3urons had one good "blow-
out" of a Christmas dinner, when
the men were the guests et the offi-
cers and, a full course dinner was ser-
ved. Capt. J, IC. Fairfull, Chaplain
of the 161st tells about it in the
following interesting letter : -
Dear Mr. Editor :-When it was an-
nounced to the Battalion after
church parade on Christmas morning
that dinner would be "served" at

goes without saying that every man

this occasion, the men of the Battal-

THE CFIICKEN SHOW..
'Phis is the last day of the 1--Iuron
County Poultry and Pet Stock Show,
which is being held in the' town hall.
Pt is thio largest show of the hind
ever held ]fere, -there being over dive
hundred birds of all kinds au:l con-
diticrds.
They are a very flue collection of
fowl and to one no; versed in chicken
culture it -must be something of a
revelation that there are so manp
kinds of handsome chickens. Anyone
who 1ma5111es that a ben is nothing
more than a hen and that all liens
are alike•ought not to miss the op-
portunity of seeing the ,many varie-
ties exhibited at this show. The
large varieties, surd as the Rocks,
Wyandottes, Cochins, etc., tate ]rind,
thatlook' as if they would matte a
good pot full, are much in evidence,
but so also are Ole smart and sae
cy Ganies, 01111 the pe;1 ky Bantams.
'1'liere are also many pigeons and other
fancy fowl, some ducks and a pair
of magnificent turkeys:
1•Ir. Wm. Carter of Hullett, who
could almost judge a pert of chickens
with lids eyes shut, H. judge, and Iris
decisions have given almost universal
satisfaction. '
Nobody bas been more busy during
the days of the show than the. sec-
retary, Mr. Thos. Watts, who has al-
so some Ane birds on: exhibition.
With the chicken shoe' upstairs and
the Girls' A teeillary-tes in- the coun-
cil chamber there ' was certainly
"some cackling" around the town
hall yesterday afternoon
The prize list will be published
next week.

1,00KING FOR IDEAS,
Mrs, J. K. Fairfull and bliss Dor-
othy ,C'antelon visited Hyman 'Hall,
London, on Friday last rel represen-
tatives from the Clirls' Auxiliary,
C'iinton. Their object was to pick up
what new or better ideas they co.ild
for the carrying on of the Red Cross
or other patriotic work in dh'ch the
Society is engaged, They were much
impressed with the speedy work of a
knitting machine which they saw in
operation but the price of the ma-
chine seems' to be beycand the limits
of the treasurys. Should anyone wish
to mance a donation of a knitting
machine to the Patriotic Society and
the Auxiliary of (Clinton et would be
most acceptable. They describe Hy-
man Hall as a very, busy spot and
they brought home many ideas and
much ,inspiration.
