To those who were not fortunate enough to be able to visit the White City, Mr. Sheppard's produc- tion must have proved both instruc- tive and entertaining. Nearly all the principal buildings and important ,` points in the White City were repre- sentedwith great accuracy. The views of the Canadian departments and the mammoth cheese evoked enthus- iasric applause. One of the pretti- est effects obtained was the re- alisticrepresentation of the search " light from the roof of the Liberal Arts building. The moving light, with its changeable colours, were most effect- ' . iv'ely reproduced. Mr. W. E. Ramsay Was the lecturer, and imparted a great deal of valuable information.

RESPECTING THE DEAD.—A large number from Clinton were present•at the funeral of the late David Jackson, of Londesboro, last Monday. PPOFITABLE MEETING. --,We are pleased to note the success of the Permanent building and Loan Associa- tion of Woodstock for the last year's business. A dividend of 15 pet' cent. was declared to shareholders on the instalment plan. The company have local boards formed all over the County of Huron and also the Dominion. There are boards in Clinton, Seaforth, Kippen, Brucefield, Hensel!, Zurich, Blake, Exeter and several other pleees near here, will prove to t�ye g ti- ne that the Ontario Pernament "B ing and Loan Association is one of; very best to invest money in. We ate pleased to say that there is a large Local Board .in Clinton and trust that in a' very short time there will be double the members. The association is a great help to the young men of our country. Mr. C. L. Papst, the general agent, and Mr. R. W. Ball, the general manager, both of Woodstock, were in town last week in connection with the work and made a very favorable im- rpession. The Late Patrick Kelly. Death has removed another of Huron's ' pioneers in the person of Patrick Kelly, of Blyth. Probably there has not been a more prominent or progressive citizen in making the splendid history of the past than the subject of this brief sketch. For. some time Mr. Kelly had suffered from an inward affection, water on one of the lungs, we believe. He had visited his native home, Ireland, last year, with- out permanent relief. Later on, and up to a few weeks ago, Mr. Kelly was in consultation with eminent Canadian physicians. All was in vain. He passed to his reward last Wednesday at his home in Blyth. The late Pat- rick Kelly was born in Tipperary county, Ireland, in 1832, being the eldest of the family. Along with his parents he emigrated to this country in 1847, settling in the township of Fitzroy, near Ottawa. Six years later' the family moved to the township of Morris, where the present comfortable homes were hewn out. The deceased was a man of great nerve, indomitable pluck and courage, and passed through all the hardships incident to pioneer life. His long, active and honorable career from the logging field to the comfortable farm, from the farm to the village and business, from muni- cipal to Provincial and Dominion poli- tics -made his name a respected house- hold word extending far beyond the county of Huron. For over seventeen years he was reeve of Morris and Blyth, and was held in the highest esteem by his fellow -workers in the County Conn- cil. He was for the usual term War- den of Huron, and contested West Huron against the Hon. A... M. Ross. He was an important factor in secur- ing the London, Huron and Bruce railway through this section. He was a thorough business man and for many years carried on extensive lumber and flour mills in Blyth. The village owes much to the deceased for its present standing and prosperity. He was one of the principal promoters in securing lire protection and electric light for the village. The deceased accumulat- ed a fair share of this world's goods and his family are well provided for. The late Mr. Kelly was twice married, his first wife being dead many years and his second four or five years. He leaves three of a family—one son, John B., who has been a partner in the busines for some years, and two daughters, Maggie and Annie; also five brothers and two sisters In politics the deceased was one of those staunch Conservatives who never condescended to- sacrifice his principles—party or country, both of which he loved and always worked for. His time and means were never refused tolegitimate- ly advance either. And he exhibited the same spirit locally in advancin Blyth's best interests. The funeral last Friday was the largest ever seen, probably, in the county of Huron. There was many present from Gode- rich, Clinton, Seaforth, London and numerous other outside points, as well as a very large attendance from the surrounding townships. The remains were conveyed from the late residence to the Roman Catholic Church, the immense and solemn cortege being headed by the Blyth brass band play- ing the "Dead March in Saul." 'Chen followed the Reeve, Councillors and other officials of the town, hearse, mourners, and others. Very few, ex- cept the mourners could gain admiss- ion. The edifice was crowded to the doors. After the usual service the im- posing procession re-formed, headed by the band, and marched to the Morrie cemetery. At the school the band opened order and the great gathering passed on. The remains were deposit- ed in their last and silent resting place in the family burying ground while many a silent tear dropped. The pall- bearers were Messrs. J Emigh, C. E. Tanner, E. Campion, Q. C., Capt. J. Beck, W. Hawkshaw and Judge Doyle. Mr. A. Scott, the new tinderta er of Blyth, had charge and performed his duties well. The name of P. Kelly will live long in the memory of the masses as a man who has performed great and noble deeds for Blyth, the County of Huron, the Province of Ontario, and the Dominion generally.

There appears to be some of the above class of people in and out of Seaforth whom we can 'name.

They are not a credit to any community and those who are in league with the "boss" of fire and brimstone will be held up to public view if they do not change their tractics.

The apple exporters of the Province met in the Board of Trade building, Toronto, last Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. The object of the meet- ing was the formation of an association by means of which to improve the system of carrying on the apple ex- porting business. rhe circular calling the exporters together was signed by ten exporting firms. It said that "for some time past exporters have realiz- ed that the present system of conduct- ing the business is faulty in many features, and that the outgrowing evils threaten the destruction of the export trade." Other countries, it is said, are becoming year by year strong competi- tion in the open markets, and' if Cana- dians were to successfully compete with them they must not only imy rove the quality of their export fruit, but ,must market it in better shape. ' "In- dividual effort," the circular says, "can avail but little in putting ,the business upon a better basis, and therefore con- certed action becomes a necessity. Mr. Everists, of Messrs. McWilliam & Everist,said that one of the most im- portant matters to he dealt with was the fixing of standards by which buyers and exporters may buy and ship, The grain and flour standards, he saideare of no greater necessity than is the arrangement of standards for the apple export trader. Anothe matter consider- ed was a suggestion that instead of buyers supplying barrels the farmers be required to buy the number they require. Under the present system the buyer leaves 100 barrels in one orchard, and only 95 are filled ; in an- other he leaves 200, and only 180 are required. In this way there are barrels left all over the country. Some of them are lost, and the buyers must be at the trouble of collecting those that are left. A third matter is the system in vogue in some districts of buying for a certain price and promising to give any rise there may be in the market before the apples are marketed. This unbusinesslike procedure give rise to disputes and trouble wherever it is followed. It is said to be followed by irresponsible people, who succeed by this means in injuring the busines and misleading farmers. Mr. J. M. Shuttleworth regarded the fixing of standards, both as to variety and quality, as the most important reform. There is now a Government standard for export apples, but it is too high, he says, to do business by. He thought that an effective workable standard could only be arranged so as to have the confidence of the exporters by a board of men who understand the conditions of the exporting trade and the requirements ofp the foreign markets. . On Thursday Mr. D. Cantelon of Clinton presided; Mr. J. M. Shuttle- worth of Toronto acted as Secretary, and the other gentlemen present in- cluded Messrs. Geo. McWilliam, Frank verist, H. W. Dawson and W. Mil- man, Toronto; J, C. Smith, Burling- ton ; W. R. Marshall, Stratford; G. Watt, Thedford ; L. G. Drew, Oshawa ; W. S. Holmes, Lucknow; P. Murdoch, Bowmanville; R. C. Sperling, Wing - ham ; A. E. Henry, Taunton ; P. Cook; Clinton ; and a good number of other representative men. The proceedings were of a somewhat preliminary na- ture, preparatory for the general meet- ing. It was, however, decided to recommend that the association be formed, to be called the Canadian Fruit -buyers and Exporters' Associa- tion, and that the objects of the or- ganization be as previously stated„ The proceedings opened with a resolu=' tion forming an association, to be call- ed the Canadian Fruit Buyers' and Exporters' Association. The officers were then elected as follows :— Presi- dent, Mr. George McWilliam, of Mc- William & Everist, Toronto ; Vice - President, Mr. W. S. Dixon, of Dixon Bros., Hamilton ; Secretary pro tern., Mr. J. M. Shuttleworth, Toronto; Executive Committee—Messrs. A. E. W. Peterson, Cobourg; Frank Hartt. Montreal; J.M. Shuttleworth, Toronto; J. C. Smith, Burlington, and D. Cante- Ion Clinton. Considerable discussion took place upon the best means of compassing the objects the association had in view, and finally the matter was left in the hands of the Executive, to draw up a scheme of action. The association then adjourned to meet again on August Itlill Town Topics. Mlss LoyvIEMILLER, of Woodstock. is the guest of her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

May you live long to enjoy the confidence of the brethren." From Hamilton:—"Hearty congratulations. I do not -know a more worthy choice. May you be spared many long years to edit your able news- paper andwork for the Loyal Institu- tion which you so intelligently re not sent."• From Owen Sound :—"I know when I have felt so pleased as on learning of your re-election for a fifth ter%. Long may we have your ser- vices and wise counsel at Grand Lodge." From London:—"As an old member of the fountain head I am exceedingly gratified to know that you are still at the head of affairs in South Huron. I would have missed you. Be sure and come to the Provincial and Supreme and continue to legislate, as you always have, in the best interests of the Or- der." From , Orangeville:—"Glad to know that you will be with us again. I shall never forget the great meeting at Owen Sound, your untiring energy and ability there and at Orangeville. I read of your being in Toronto and undergoing a serious operation, but I trust when you are able to fill the chair and our brethren still honor you that you will be with us at both Grand Lodges." From Sault Ste. Marie, Ont: —"So you have again been chosen to fill the chair. Long may you have health and strength to so ably repre- sent good old South Huron." From New Brunswick :—"Permit me to con- gratulate you and South Huron. .I hope ,to meet you at Grand Lodge as long as I go there. South Huron could not have a more conscientious or painstaking representative than your- self. You will be at Lindsay, no doubt." From the Queens City :—"I did not look for a change and am glad to know you are again in the chair and• that you .are likely to meet for a fifth term in the higher lodges. The critical operation through which you passed caused me to feel alarmed, but I am greatly pleased to know that banner South Huron has again re-elected you. The Order cannot be better advanced than by your presence at the several Grand Lodges.' 'All these flattering extracts almost take our breath away. Many others are just as complimen- tary, but the above will suffice as an 'outside view. Sheppardton. Miss Kate Johnston, of Goderich, is the guest of her friends, Misses Sarah and Mary Dunbar. Miss Orah- Vrooman has returned home after a sojourn of several months with friends in St. Thomas, Ont.

In the death of Mrs. Piper, which took place on Sunday morning, Turn - berry loses one of the oldest and most respected settlers. Mrs. Piper has been living in Wingham lately and the large number who attended her funeral showed the respect in which' she was held. The funeral took place from the house to the English church (of which the deceased was a life long and devot- ed member) and from thence to the Wingham cemetery. The bereaved family have the sympathy of all their friends. The funeral of the late Joseph Cor- bett, which took place at Belgrave on Sunday last, was very largely attend- ed. It was conducted by the members of Loyal Orange Lodge 492, Belgrave, assisted by visiting brethren from Wingham, Brussels, Blyth and Blue - vale. About two hundred Orange- men took part -in the procession and the funeral service was conducted by Bro. Jno. Mooney, County Master for North Huron. Bros.

FATAL BURNING ACCIDENT.— On Thursday morning a fatal burning accident occured at they residence of Mrs. Elijah Martin, Newgate street, Miss Sarah Gauley, of Port Albert the hired girl, being the victim. The burn- ing took place between 10 and 11, and death followed at 6 p, m. the same day. At the time the girl was alone, but dis- covering the fire screamed for help and ran into the next room where she fell into an arm chair which was soon all ablaze also. Mrs. Stevens, Mrs. Martin's sister, tried to subdue the flames as y. the girl passed from the room busin ■ a mat, but so fierce was the fire and terrible her suffering that it was of no avail. Dr. Shannon was soon on hand, also willing helpers, 'and everything was done that it'was possible to do to relieve the unfortunate ,girl, but so serious were her injuries that from the first it was seen that there was no foundation for hope. How the mis- hap occurred can never be distinctly known but, as in all other accidents, there are numerous explanations given of how it came about. The generally accepted idea is that the deceased held the lamp over the stove to remove the burnt wick and that having loosened the burner it waserked out by the action of pinching the wick, and catch- ing fire soon spread through the girl getting frightened and spilling the oil. Blyth. Mr. T. W. Scott and wife were call- ed away on Friday to Birr to see his brother who is lying very low with little hopes of recovery.

Mc. knocked Mr. A. Mc. out in one round. WIND MILL.—Mr. Knight, of God- erich, last week erected a wi.id mill on Braeside farm for the purpose of deep well pumping, grain crushing and straw cutting. We think the site chosen is suitable, as Braeside is always well supplied with wind. LAW CASE.—Rumor says the village blacksmith and our local barrister were up to the circular town getting advice on a very important law case. The old saying will hold good in this case that it is better to strike the, iron while it is hot.

We learn that lie and E. McKenzie are etnyloyed ,cutting wood for Mr. Jas. Rose. SOLD.—Mr. Jas. Rose has disposed of • one of his heavy horses. We doubt whether he would have been able to make a sale had it not been for his skill in horsemanship ,as he was seen displaying his skill with them on the roads. Quite a number of people are sick around here . from the effects of La Grippe. It seems that it is no respeo- tor of persons for it can catch the strongest and do them up in short order. Quinine is a very good medicine for it and some say a little whiskey. We suppose that the whiskey will aid indigestion. Mr. Benson Hamilton, of Colborne, teacher of S. S. No. 2, of W.
