AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of• the Seaforth
Agricultural Society was held in the
Carnegie Library on Tuesday • after-
noon- with a fair representation of
members from town and the sur-
rounding townships. Following the
address of President Dr. Harburn,
the financial statement for the past
year was read showing receipts of
$2.131.05 with an expenditure of $2,-
080.91, leaving' a balance on hand of
$50.14. The number of entries at the
last Fall Fair was the largest on re-
cord as was also the amount paid
in prize money. The membership,
however, was 'but 163, or less than
half the number expected and with
the large percentage, citizens of the
town. It was generally regretted
that in the heart of the best agricul-
tural section of the country there
were so few farmer members.
The resignation of Mr. R. Murless
Jones who has been Treasurer of the
Society for the past ten years, was
received= w`fth regret. A hearty vote of
thanks was tei,dered Mr. Jones for
the time he had spent and pains he
had taken in furthering the\interests
of the Society during his term of
office.

ors were elected for 1926:

Snnrtav sehnnl fur the pureeee of re -
buildings, rude enough at first, where
they could meet together for public
worship. Their good -will one towards
another, found abundant exercise as
each in turn called upon the good of-
fices of his neighbors, to help him
erect his 'log shanty, or stable, or
inake a start at the clearing of his
farm by means of the universal log-
ging -bee. In those days, neighbors
were indisnensable, „and no call for
help, whether in sickness or health
aver fell upon deaf ears. The resul
of all this, was a spirit of fellowship
and co-operation that made life abun
dantly rich, even in the absence _ o
many things we today consider so
necessary. Much water has passed
under the ,bridges since those day
and conditions are greatly—might
we not justly say—sadly' altered. • We
seem to have become more self-
sufficient and , self-centred and the
old neighborly spirit is largely a
thing of the cast.. May we venture
to plead for its revival ? Gathered
here together iii a home that has
preserved more of this early spirit
than most may we not accept the
best
traditions ons o
f those early al days
Y
and seek to live them out inour
community and our homes.
A new home has been here begun.
Our sincere:t•hope is that it may not
only be blessed but in every way
prove a blessing. As a very slighe
token of our esteem for the - mem-
bers of this home, we ask that you,
Mr. and Mrs. John Modeland, would
accept ,this rocking -chair, May you
be long spared to enjoy the comforts
and the blessings of -this beautiful
home• and may the Giver of all Good
shower downupon you life's choicest
gifts.
