Weather all that could be desired al-
though the morning looked unfavorable,
* * *
Miss Shirley Donaldson proved a cap-
able leader in the singing of patriotic
songs by the pupils on Main street and at
the Fair
* * *
The Dominion Government Experi-
nintal Farm had a complete exhibit of
Flax Products from the raw material to
the finished article twine, rope, paper,
fibre board and linen cloth, which held a
crowd all afternoon.
* *
The Agricultural Class at the Wingham
High School had a splendid exhibit of
roots, vegetables, fruit and poultry which
drew a great deal of attention and reflects
much credit on the teacher, Mr. Ander-
son, who is an ardent enthusiast on war •
gardens.
▪ *
Did you see the Tractor plowing at the
Fair. Next year we are promised an
aeroplane.
* * *
T. R. Bennett of town had the largest
turnips and cucumbers at the fair. He
also had a splendid private exhibit of war
garden vegetables all grown by himself.
* * *
Miss Brock, principal and the teachers
of the public school received hosts of con-
gratulations on the showing of the pupils.
• • *
Every seat in the opera house was filled
and standing room was a a premium.

James Stewart * acted as capable assist-
ant to the secretary,
* * *
Mr. Walter Burnside of Kincardine
proved an efficient starter in the races,

The thanks of the * Fair Board are
tendered to all those who so ably worked
to make the fair the best in the history of
Wingham.

Waldo Miller of town conducted a re-
freshment booth in a large tent on the
grounds.

the boys who exhibit largely.

A officer of the society who has been on
the board for the past seventeen years
tells us this is the best year in the history
of the Society.
xxx
In the past three years the society has
paid several hundred dollars of debt
which has been hanging over the heads of
the directors for some time.
xxx
The gate receipts amounted to $767.05,
The membership is about 400. Over
1,400 entries were made out by Secy
Smith and his able assistant J. G. Stew-
art,
X X x
Mr. George Phippen exhibited several
large paintings, the work of his brush over
twenty years ago They were the cause
for considerable comment and the work is
certainly good when it is taken into con-
sideration that thy were each done in
on an average of ()boa eight hours, and
the paints used are merely common house
paints.
What School
During the month or August
many parents must face the grave
responsibility of choosing the best
school for a sop ot daughter. The
whole future life of that child de.
rinds upon the training which you
are choosing. consequently you
should get full particuiars ot
schools, compare them carefully,
and, make your choice. Some have
listened to the.'fairy ot travel-
ling agents and 'signed up' without
investigating and have regretted it
'too late'. If interested in a busi-
ness education, send postal card to
the Spotton Business College.
Wingham, and receive the 'Message
ot our Graduates', which tells nt
our records for the past fifteen
years, Owing to onr Home Study
Department many are graduating
with only one month at college

Mr. Patton, the Government judge on
cattle, made the statement that in all his
experience he had never came across a
better conducted exhibition.

President Greer is a faithful -worker and
worthy of the best wishes of every farmer
who attends the fair. He has an excellent
lot of directors behind him and with only
a few exceptions, every director is always
in his place when work is to be done.
xxx
As secretary, we have done our very
best, but have decided to step down and
take the reins next year, as we must pay
more attention to our a7airs at fair time,
xxx
The weather man helped very well and
we are not fault finding when we say that
if the morning had have been as bright as
the afternoon the receipts would easily
have reached the $900. mark, We know _
of three race horses that intended to be
at the fair in Wgharn but thought it too
wet looking to Start early p' Wednesday

A couple of exhibitors failed to make
entry with the secretary before competing
in ladies' work, school children's work and
roots, therefore we have no trace of their
entry and their prize was not /awarded.

Owing to some farmers going by old
time entries were coming in after the judg
ing was completed in a couple of classes.

The cattle exhibited was of excellent
quality but there was not a heavy ex-
hibit. Horses were well represented in
the various classes and the government
judges were high in the praise •of their
quality. The fruit, vegetables, grain and
roots were good while the Dairy and
Provisions were not shown in as large a
quantity as we would have liked, although
the butter exhibit was well filled. Many
ladies expressed the belief that the scarc-
ity of baking was on account of the war.
There was an extra large showing of
Ladies' work, Fine arts, flowers, and
apples. The Government exhibit of Flax
Fibre products was splendid. Mr. F. J.
Hill had a fine display of musical instru-
ments, Mr. T. R. Bennett of Farm Im-
plements, The Western Foundry of stoves
and ranges, Mr. A. J. Walker sewing
machines and Mason & Risch, pianos.

Fifteen years ago R. R. Garney, "the

a bumper crowd and compared their gate
receipts of that year via; $566.00 with
that of the year previous viz $270. What
about this year's gate receipts, $764.05,
not including membership? The admis-
fee is the same 25 cents.

Town dated from England, conveying the
news that he had been gassed and was

armoured cars which did such splendid
work in the recent fighting.

while assisting his men to release the
spring hatch of a coal car. The hatch
sprung suddenly and knocked Mr. Ken-
nedy on the head, He fell down un-
conscious, and to add to his trouble the
coal buried him. He is progressing.
John Sproule, farmer, was fined $10
and casts by Magistrate McLean today
for putting a used stamp on a letter.
The defendant claimed that he put a new
3 -cent stamp on the envelope, and some-
body must haue changed it, because when
delivered the letter bore a 2 -cent stamp
that had been taken from a bank check,
Fatal Accident
A most distressing and fatal accident
occurred in this vicinity last week, when
Mr. John Hayden, of the Boundary West,
was crushed between hiS threshing engine
and separator while making a coupling.
The accident occurred on Wednesday
evening and the deceased, who was in his
43rd year, passed away about noon on
Saturday. We have no definite pard -
niers regarding the accident and can, only
give a brief account. He leave a wife
and three small children, who with the
other relatives have the deep sympathy
of all. The funeral took place on Tues.,
day afternoon to Fordwich cemetery,
services being conducted by Rev. F. E.
Clysdale.
Mr, Hayden was a cousin of Mr. 0. V.
Hayden, Wingham, and he and Mrs.

Wingbam Marble 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. Intending 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
of difficulty 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 Tnonu-
itents this season. Granite monuments
not sold will be moved away ahortly.
