After the business part of the meeting hymn 04 was then sung, followed with prayer by Mr. Keith Webster. The Scripture tread- ing was taken by Mr. Jack Stevens, after which hymn 262 en -as sung. This being the opening night, a few re- marks of encouragement were given by Rev. Mr, Lane. The topic for the evening, "Our Literary Heritage of Hymns." was ably taknt by lir, F. S. Serene and proved very interesting. By singing Hymn 417 and repeating the Mizpah benediction the meeting was brought to a close. Next week the meeting will be in charge of Mr. Keith Webster,devotional convener, and the topic will be taken by Mrs. Lane. STIFF OPPOSITION The prediction went around for years that the big city fairs would eliminate the country fairs, but this year the shoe is on the other foot. The rural fairs in Huron County so far this year have h'ad the largest at- tendance •for years, while the city fairs have dropped. And the Competi- tion is keen at the oountr} fairs, One exhibitor at a county fair is grieving for a prize he did not .get; his garden firuit was better by far than the com- petition in appearance and other qualities which win prizes; but it lacked in "staying" power, for in some uncanny manner it disappeared 'frown its place in the building until after judging was over; then mysteri- ously re -appeared, but of course, without any prize. rc Pierced liver Wares in a great variety of designs is now on view at this store. Very suitable for favors, bridge prizes, etc., and priced so amazingly low that you can hardly believe it possible at the price. Also we still have some Rogers' Flat Ware in Silver on sale at one-half price. SHOP AT AVAUGE'S IT PAYS JEWELER OPTOMETRIST GIFT GOODS Phone 194. Res. 10. BOWLING Final Result (4th Game)—J. E.

Mitchell Advocate: For many years the good old game of bowling on the green has been recognized as the one and only perfect game of sport, skill: and recreation combined. 'The bowling tournament as part of this recreation was a getting together of a number of bowlers by invitation the rinks •being limited to the size of the green, for one, two or even three days of real sport and a genuine test. of skill, An entrance fee was charged for every rink entering the competi- tion, and the proceeds used for enter- tainment and prizes. Now cones big business and as us- ual in big business methods, suggests a bigger entry, if you can't accommo- date them on your greens, borrow your nearest neighbors', and remem- ber a bigger number of entries, means bigger dividends for your club. Stratford Bowling Club introduced tine Big Twilight t into this district and' secured fifty-seven entries. St. Marys followed on Friday evening, Sept, 322,, with an entry of sixty rinks, distribut- ed as follows: -1St. Marys, greens. 34 rinks; Stratford 30 rinks; Mitchell 1'6 rinks. The prizes will be delivered from St. Mary's to the winners by truck or something. Where next ? is the question and a good guess would be Seaforth. They have room for forty rinks on their own greens, Clinton can accomm'o- date eighteen and Mitchell eighteen, a grand total of seventy-six rinks. —Conte on Seaforth. ANNOUNCING minlon of Entertaina.
