Loci DOTs.—Mr. Sheffer, of To-
ronto, was here visiting his brother and
sister last week.—Wm. Hill and daugh-
ter left this week to visit friends in the
state of New York.—Miss Emma
Troyer, who has been visiting in To-
ronte for a number of weeks, returned
home feet week.—T. Coleman is busy
making cider these days. ---But what a
contiouous smile that is which Wm;
Curry wears I It is caused by the ad-
vent of a new boarder at his house, not
&voter, it's a girl. ---What makes Joseph
ifuelson wear such a happy smile on his
countenance these days? I think I
name, his wife gave him, is present of a
bouncing baby boy the other day.—Why
does Andrew Love walk so spry and
look so pleasant? All on account of the
arrival of a boy at his house, who will
be able to vote in twenty-one years. --
1r. George Anderson of the Parr Line,
Stanley, intends leaving this week for
Dakota to visit his sons who are there.
- We wish him apteasant trip and a safe
retun y tchis home and many friends.
In putting the light shot, 16 pounds, he
cast it a distance of 50 feet 6 Inches on
fairly level ground. D- Smith and C.
Currie also tied at 11 feet 2 inches in
throwing the 56 -pound weight high.
These- were the only notable perform-
ances in the athletic sports. The con-
cert and ball in the Octagon Hallin the
evening was largely attended, and was
successful in every way. Chief Mc-
Crimmon was taken suddenly ili, and
was unable to appear on the grounds
during the progress of the sports.

MATTERS.—The amount re -s-
quired to be raised by the township this
year for county rate and Legislative
school equivalent is $2,506.62, and for
township purposes, $1,993.38, making
the total amount required $4,500, require
hag a rate of 35 mills on the dollar of
assessment. This is a very low rate,
and shows that the affairs of the town-
ship must be economically conducted.

THAT BINDING.—DEAR EXPOSITOR,—
I see in the last issue of THE EXPOSITOR
an account of big binding done by a boy
in Dufferin county who, it is said, bound
45- acres in five consecutive days besides
cradling around the fields. Now, I
think no boy, or man either, can do that
amount of work by hand, but it is pos-
sible it was done with a self -binder. It
would be a gratification to many of your
re,aclera if Mr. W. B. Clark would let ns
know definitely through your paper if
that gentleman bound what it was 'said
be did by hand or only drove a self -
binding machine wciich did the work.
If it was done by a machine it can easily
be beaten, for Mr. John Consitt of the
Parr line, Hay, cut and bound 20 acres
of fall wheat in one day with one '
niachine, and on the next day cut and
bound 18 acres. So I think Old Huron
is ahead still.—Com.

PREPARING FOR THE SHOW.—The di-
rectors of the Agricultural Society are
making extensive preparations for the
Fall Show to be held here on Thursday
and Friday of next week. They intend
to hire a brass band for the Occasion and
will do their utrnost to make the first
show of the season a success. We
understand the secretaryhas a larger
number of members on the list than in
any previous year. The hotel keepers
are also making extensive preparations
for the accomodation of the public.
Altogether the people who viait our fair
may expect a large time. They are also
improving the gromeds, by enlarging the
hall to about double its former size and
by providing a yard for the cattle.
PROPERTY SOLD.—Mr. J. B. Geiger,
of the Bronson Line, has sold his fine
farm to Mr. Justice Mellick for
the sum of $6,500. Mr. Mellick now
has a fine farm of two hundred acres.
Mr. Geiger intends to move to Da-
kota next spring. — We understand
Mr. Ab. Geiger has purchased Mr.
Richard Koch's house and lot in the vil-
lage for $940, and intends to retire from
farming. Mr. Koch goes to Dashwood.
—Mr. Adam Heronyenus has sold his 50
acre farm on the 14th concession to Mr.
Jacob Howald.
BRIEFS.—Mr. Meyer left again a few
days ago for New Hamburg.—Messrs.
Ehnes & Williams'millers, have re-
ceived a carload of. Manitoba wheat via
Port Arthur. They say it can't be beat.
—Mrs. Ab. Geiger returned on Monday
last from Michigan, where she was visit
ing her sick daughter. --We reported
!last week that Mrs. David B. Geiger
had gone to Michigan. We should have
said Mrs. Daniel B. Ge iger.
Wingham.
THE CALEDONIAN GAMES.—The third
annual gathering of the Wingham Cale-
donian Society was held in the town
ark on Thursday of last week, and as
far as the games were concerned was
success. The crowd, however, was not
as large as was expected, and both the
society and the citizens were greatly dis-
appointed at the number that visited the
town. There were about 400 people on
the ground during the afternoon, but
there would, no doubt, have -been over
2,000 had it not been for the threatening
condition of the weather. The rain
seemed to come on just in time to pre-
vent people coming in from the country,
and never let up until it was too late.
However the programme was gone
through with in the afternoon, and the
competitien was keen. The best dancers
and athletes in America were present
and a good exhibition was given. The
town band was present and discoursed
good music. The following -is a list of
thosewho were successful in the local
competitione :—Light haminer—W. Fer-

A Goo TTM.—The Union Literary
Society intends holding a grand enter-
tainment on the evening of Friday, Sep-
tember 23rd, full particulars of which
will be given in next issue.
Console Doreos.—At the last meet-
ing of the Turnberry council, which was
held at Bluevale, a letter was read from
John Ansley, inspector of the B line
bridge, stating that he was at that bridge
en the, 19th inst., and found. that the
work was not finished, but recommended_
that the contractor be paid $250. The
communication was laid over until next
meeting of council. It was reported
that Hamilton's bridge had been repair-
ed by having a new bent put under the
centre at a cost of $37.75, by John Se
MecTavish ; that the job of cutting
down the hill at McAllister's had been
finished; that Mr. Jamieson had ex-
plained that Gray's bridge could not be
repaired as agreed upon on account of it
being so weak that it could not be raised
up to the level, and he agreed to put in a
bent at the west end and otherwise pro-
perly repair it. Mr. Jamieson also
stated_ that he had inspected the job of
cutting down the hill on the llth con-
cession at lot 10 and n, and found that
the work had not been done according
to agreement and. recommended that the
i
contractor receive- no pay until t s pro-
perly finished. These severel reports' ,
were adopted. The by-law for raising
$250 for the Toronto, Grey and Bruce
Railway was repealed. Mr. Peter
Campbell was appointed collector at a
salary of $60, he to give security to the
amount of $12,000. A by-law was
passed to levy and collect the sum of
$1,200 for township purposes, and, after
the transaction of some other minor
business and the passing of a number of
accounts the council adjourned until the
26th of September.
Deaths.

lemeoseiameemesa.
Manchester.
GENERAL TALK.—Rye, oats and bar-
ley when in the fields promised splendid
crops, but have since turned out very
poorly. It must have been owing to the
drouth. The apples are less -plentiful
but the price is no higher.—Professor
Goldwin Smith made a clear, brief defi-
nition of the so-called Commercial Union
scheme at Detroit last week, we, not
only want to know the benefits to be de-
rived. from it, but to know it e pro-
visions.—Paisley is more than being a
terror to the law breakers since he
assumed the office of Inspeetor. When
the vote comes to test the strength of the
Scott Act sentiment,this village will give
it a hearty support and we think the
district will follow the example. —
Miss L. Dey is spending a few days in
this vicinity.—The Methodist parsonage
is being repaired.—Harry Hislop, who
formerly lived with Mr. John Knox, but
this summer worked in Wawanosh, is
now very low with inflammation.—Mr.
Lockard is re-engaged for the school
east of here.—The horse which Thos.
McPhee, of the Boundary Line west,
could not get any trace of for about
three rnonths, has lately been found.'
It has gone through several hands, and
strange to say was driven a number of
times about here, being owned once by
a farmer near. The thief has also stay-
ed here, and in this section for weeks,
but is now in Goderich jail, and when
tried we will know more about him. It
looks very much like a hallowe'en joke,
but the rigor of the law should be exer-
cised in such an instance- of brazen
notoriety.—A certain young fellow had
a sore heart the other night, for reasons
we need not rnention.—Miss T. Gordon
has replaced her sister, Miss Minnie, in
managing the household duties of our
esteemed physician, but we expect -this
happy routine will soon be stopped by
the presence of a "stayer." ,

the meeting of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church. The church
was filled to overflowing, and the audi-
ence listened with rapt attention to the
lecture7which occupied about two hours.
A synapsis of the trip without giving it
in detail is impossible, suffice a few
points. The journey was made by rail
from Wroxeter to Owen Sound, thence
by steamer " Alberta " to Port Arthur,
and Canadian Pacific railway train to
the ocean. The lecturer spoke in glow-
ing terms of the kindness and affability
of the officers of the C. P. R. company.
The_ accommodation on the vessel as well
as on the train, was ample and enjoy-
able. The speaker also said the dele-
ld not soon forget the kind

THE CALEDONTAN GAME8.—The thir
teenth annual games of the Lucknow
Caledonian Society held on Wednesday
were- very successful. Bonnet and
feather were the fashionable headgear,
and the plaid and tartan were every-
where visible. The little town with the
East Indian name was en fete, and every-
one seemed to hang their banners on the
outer walls and display their best
bunting. The weather, however, was
somewhat uncertain, and though no rain
fell during the day yet great masses of
clouds at timea hid the sun completely
from view, and throughout the day the
wind. blew strongly and towards the
close rather chilly. No doubt this cer-
tainly deterred many people from at-
tending, yet it did not prevent some
7,000 from paying their annual visit.
Great interest was manifested in the
variuue competitions, which were very
keen and exciting. The largest array
of dancing talent ever present at the
society's g-atnes were here on this occas-
ion, there being nearly 40 of both sexes.
The hest athletes in America contested in
the athletic arena, some 30 or 40 com-
peting, Every event was carried through
and the best of order and good humorpre-
veiled. In the world's competition C.

Take pleasure in stating that their Fall importations are now complete and for-
ward, and while cordially inviting inspection of the s trie would endeavor to im-
press on the minds of those favoring them with their esteemed orders, that owing

braced opportunities of extensive purchases at price which enable us to dispose

goods this season than ever. No trouble to show gooda.
