W H. Fraser Would Run as .Liberal in
North Huron
A taitfy"weli attended meeting of the
Li) erals of North Ilurun was held in the
town hall. 1'Vineham, on Tuesday after-
noon. The resignation of Mr. King was
accepted, and many leading Liberals ex-
pnseed satisfaction that he had decided
to not be the means of an election. Two
nutnes were brought before the meeting,
viz. that of John N. McKenzie of Ashfield
and W. II. Fraser, reeve of Morris. The
former withdrew but we understand that
• • the latter has decided to remain in the
campaign.
Wounded for North Time
Mrs. C. G. VanStcrue has received offic-
ial word that her husband Capt. Van -
is Buffering with bullet wound in leg. '
Breaks We Leg
Mr. Robt. Musgrove met with an un-
fortunate accident on Tuesday morning
by break•ng his leg below the knee. He
was walking across Mr. John King's yard
ih
Bluevale when he twisted his leg and it
broke. Mr. Musgrove was working in
the bush on Monday and remembers
striking the same leg heavily against a log
and it is. possible that it was slightly
fractured there,
Whitetail' ' arble and Granite Works
Having sold the Wingham marble busi-
ness I have a number of fine Old Country
granite monuments to dispose of before
giving possession. These monuments
were purchased before the high increase in
prices and will be sold at reasonable
prices. Intendrne purchasers should see
this stock and make a selection as this
will be the last chance for some time of
securing Old Country granite. On account
•tifeelifbiculty in transportation from Nor-
way and Swed n to Aberdeen, Scotland,
and scarcity of labor in Aberdeen it is
almost impossible to purchase granite
monuments. Purchasers should not de-
lay as the time is short for erecting monu-
ments this season. Granite monuments
not sold will be movedaway shortly.

EXHIBIT AT THE PAIR
If you have anything that is listed in
the prize list of the Wingham Fall Fair
enter it for exhibition. The premium list
is, on the whole, ahead of any in these
parts. If you have not a prize list ask
the secretary, A. G. Smith, to mail you
one. It is the last fair of the season and
can easily be made the best.
The prize list is not the only, nor even
the main inducement for exhibitors. It
may be taken for granted that every
producer is anxious to produce the best in
his particular line One of the greatest
aids he can have in so doing is the chance
to see his own produce beside that of
others. This opportunity is offered in no
other way so well as through exhibiting at
the fair. If your potatoes, your apples,
your chickens, horses, sheep, cattle, or
any products of yours, are placed side by
side with those of your neighbors you
have an opportunity to compare them
with the best the district affords. Not
only do you have the opportunity to com-
pare them yourself, but through the
awarding of the prizes you get an expres-
sion of opinion by the judges, who are
experts in their departments If your
entries win, you know that you are work-
ing along right lines, If you are beaten,
you have the knowledge that you must
change your methods.
If you cannot see just why you were
beaten make an opportunity to talk to
the judge. This does not mean that you
should vent your spleen on him. If you
feel that you are aggrieved, the show rules
offer a right and proper method of enter-
ing a protest. The best thing for the ex.
hibitor to do is to approach the judge+as
a seeker after knowledge, assuming—and
the assumption will be found correct -
that the judge is a fair-minded man,
wilting to give reasons for his findings.

The Supreme Phonograph Achievement of
Recent Years •
•
The following is a statement made by Mr, Harold Jarvis
ounce the popular Canadian singer:
The tone of the Brunswick was a revelation to me.
The unmusical, metallic phonograph qualities to which
we have been accustomed so long, seem to he entirely
eliminated in the Brunswick phonograph.
The vocal records particularly have a sweet full rich-
ness of sound with the very vibrancy of life.
I was of course, particularly inteeested in the reproduc-
tion of my own records on the Brunswick, and can truth-
fully say that I have never heard them played as nearly
lifelike on any other instrument. Particularly in my re-
cording of "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," the Brunswick
phonograph brings out the shadings that I never knew
were possible in a reproducing instrument. It hardly
seems possible that it could be the same record.
Yours very truly,
Harold Jarvis.
Come in and hear the Brunswick at the store of
J. WALTON Mek1B8ON
The Horne of the Brunswick.
