It will greatly add to the good ap- pearance of the field and the roadside and to the farm itself. This is •not 'only 'a'dvisable; it is also compulsory under the •law.respecting weeds. 'The different municipalities have gone to considerable expense in try- ing to clean the roadside and they ex- .pec; the man inside the fence to do his bit. --WEED 'INSIPECTOR. OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Nay- lor, who won the second Edward Blake scholarship. He was a pupil of Chatham Collegiate institute and son of Mr. A. A. Naylor, former principal of Seaforth pebble school and now of Queen Mary School, Chatham. THE FALL FAIR.

Notwithstanding '.adverse weather conditions, which from time to. time, have depleted the funds, the merchants a is and business men have al- ways come to the assistance of the So- ciety. with .generous donations of cash and goods, which enabled, the directors to carry on their programme of improvements, increases in ,prize money, eliminating the classes that have had their day. and eubstitettittg those more up-to-date, erecting sho cases in the hall with the ultimate o ject of having all perishable exhfbi under glass, and the erectiori of n stock pens. The assistance thus give is much ,a,ppreciated by the direct° and it is hoped the citizens' on leer w ST, JAMES' PARISH, SEAFORTH bs i The Eighteenth Diocesan Encharis- l ew i� will tie e held congress at Seafortth an Septetdoe ber n i 25th,according to an announcement rs evae by Rt.

It will also be gratify- ing for the citizens, as it has' been to the directors, to know that from the remarks of the Government' judges who officiate here and numerous fairs throughout •the Province, the quality of the exhibits in all departments at Seaforth and other fairs in the Huron district, are not surpassed anywhere,.. and seldom"r uecfeta'�led. The directors invite suggestions for the improve, meat of the fair ht any way, possibly. some .class has been overlooked. Hand in your suggestions and they will re- ceive the attention of the directors. All exhi'b'itors in every department are treated alike. It is also in keeping with the community spirit that after strenuous work we seelc a little re- creation and to this end h a• splendid d programme of sports, races, etc„ has been provided, ending up with an ex- cellent concert in Cardno's hall in the evening. Help the Society; keep Seaforth and the Huron district to the front; become a member„ the fee is -but $1.00, with two admissions and the privilege of making ten entries, and bring out,your exhibits. In con- clusion, let me say it has been a pleas- ure for me, a President, to be assoc- iated with and have the support of the ,men and .women who compose the Board, whose sole aim has been to make the fair a success and show to all -and sundry what is being produced in this most desirable part of Canada, the Huron district. Respecrffuify sub- mitted, Thomas E. Livingston, Presi- dent" rare hope the people of the district will assist in this patriotic and; laud- able abject by. becoming members. • NEW FIRE ALARM. -A new fire alarm system is. to be instatletl in .Seaforth in the near fu- ture. The old system has served the town for a great many years and is badly out-of-date, causing so many false alarms . that its usefulness is greatly impaired.

I't.is a perpetually charged cir- cuit and when the cirou•it is broken the siren is sounded. This does away. with the trouble from short circuits. HILLSGREEN. Mrs. Wm.
