Huron Central Fair.
To Be Meld Over.
As the plebiscite vote will be taken
im Thursday next, Sept. 29th, the NEW
ERA will not go to press next week at
4 o'clock as it usually does, but will be
held over in order to obtain,if possible,
the result of the vote in time for next
week's issue.
The Huron Central Fall Fair, held in
Clinton, on Tuesday and Wednesday,
was blessed with delightful weather
crewsell
attend-
ance.
•
which resulted in an i r?
The attractions offered for the
evening of the first day brought out a
big crowd, so much so that the build-
ing was uncomfortably packed, and
the people laughed until their sides
ached. James Russ superintended the
Highland dancing by the Misses Mac-
murchie, of Lucknow, and bagpipe
playing, by Alex McKay, of Lucknow,
and John McDonald, Seaforth; these
young ladies are expert dancers. The
Gun feed, participated in by 12 boys,
caused an endless amount of merri-
ment., the prizes being for those who
ate the bun first, without using tbeir
hands; the winners were in the follow-
ing ordel:-Jno Bramfield, Ern Devine,
Geo. Osborne.
The Cake Walk was a good represen-
tation of a colored dance, in costume,
the par ticipants being: -No. 1, Frank
Bowers, J. Forrester; No. 2, P Totns,
A. Tansy; 3 W Cantelon, J Leslie; 4, 0
flax by, J Gardner; 5 W Coats, WMWet
fi P. Fair, Jno Macpherson; 8 S. John-
son, Lewis; Director, R Downs; Page,
Allan Rayson, The judges were, Lack
Kennedy, A.ndw. Taylor, W. Bowers.
S. Davis, and i hey decided that Nos. 4
and 8 were equal, and the cake was di-
vided between thein. Griswold was
the singer for the crowd, Yellowlees
the occult) ;racist.
The exhibit in all the inside depart-
ments was fully up to the average,
fruit being beti er than usual. There
was some very handsome ladies work
shown, though the amount was limited.
The floral display was, naturally, very
pretty.
There never was a better display of
horses here than was shown on Wed-
nesday, and the judges admitted that
the competition was very keen. In
other outside classes the entries were
numerous, and the display about same
as on former years.
The following is the prize list: -
The Plebiscite.
There appears to be some misunder-
standing concerning the vote to be
taken on the 29th. A good many say
tiny will not vote at all. If they would
stop and consider that by not voting
they are giving no expression of opin-
ion to aid the Government in reaching
aconclusion, they would not hesitate to
cast their vote on the side of Right.
The Government is only pledged to act,
if a majority is- given, but if it is
close, and it is found a great many
have not voted at all, then they are
not pledged to act. If every voter
would remember that itis a question
that concerns the national growth,
there should be •an overwhelming ma•
jority cast. in its favor. The voting
aces in the plebiscite will, in-i'i€arly
es, be the same ie each" riding as
..for th c last _local- election. Find out
beforehanit where to vote.
Our Ottawa letter is unavoidably left
over until next week.
What the Papers Say
Sir Wilfrid Laurier is pledged to pass
a prohibitory bill if the people ask for
it -Mitchell Advocate.
The editor of the Clinton News -Re-
cord has a chance to get a bran new
.snit of clothes andmake himself look
respectable for once in his life. His
confrere of the NEW ERA. offers him a
new hat (Jackson's best) if he will
prove one statement in a leading v edie
Oriel in his last issue true, and a new
suit of clothes, plus the hat, (Jackson's
best also) if he will prove the truth of
two statements. All that he requires
now is the boots and socks. A new
hat and new clothes without boots,
wouldn't look well. It don't matter so
much about a shirt. But the NEw
ERA ie cute; it never bets except it has
a sure thing.-Seaforth Expositor.
Next Monday the Liberals of West
Huron were to have met in Conven-
tion at Dungannon to select a candi-
date as successor to M. C. Cameron,
now Lieut. -Governor of the Northwest,
but owing to the wish of the Premier
the Convention is postponed. Several
names will be presented as candidates
for the honor, but to our mind Mayor
ohnes, of Clinton, is the most repre-
Isntative gentleman. He is well ac-
quainted with the riding and its needs;
)las worked hard for the party in past
• contests; is not a hide -bound partisan,
but a man well read in the political
• questions of the day, with an indepen-
dence of thought and act most desir-
able in a public man. He has made a
first-class mayor and if he secures the
Domination should poll a vote suffici-
ently large to secure his election.
tit Huron is not a bed of roses for
either party candidate, but with a
.long pull, a strong pull and pull all
together it should continue to support
the Liberal Administration. There is
net much doubt but that Robert Mc -
.Lean, Co, Councillor;; *ill carry the
Conservative banner and with his past
experience as a candidate and hie in-
timate acquaintance in the various
municipalities he will make a lively
race. The election will probably come
oil about December, and there will be
rt hot time for a few weeks. -Brussels

OTHER PERSONAL NOTES.
NOTES.
The gate receipts were $350, $99 of
which were taken in the first night.
The poultry exhibit is certainly grow-
ing, and had to overrun its quar ters
considerably.
Joe Wheatley will soon have to go
into the professional class, if he keeps
on winning prizes in flowers as he did
this year.
Geo. Hoare has several hobbies, one
of which is Gladioli; he has over 200
varieties of this flower, some of them
very choice.
The thanks off the;committee are due
to Messrs. Boyd, Tassie and Thom, of
Goderich, for the interest they took in
the evening performance.
A large number came from Goderich
and Seaforth on Tuesday evening and
report an enjoyable time, notwith-
standing the crush.
We hope the Board of Directors will
gee to it that next year more special
attractions will be put on es they have
apparently become the life of a fair
now -a -days.
VARIOUS
Mrs Kerr, of Nebraska, who has been
visiting friends here, returned to her home
on Monday morning; she was to have been
accompanied back by Master Carter, son
of James Carter, bet the youth ran away
from home Monday morning, and could
not be found in time to go. She was tick-
eted through by F. R. Hodgens, town
agent.
P. B. Sib'ey, late of Newark, N. 3., and
a former resident of town, is again an em-
ployee of the Doherty Organ Factory; Mrs.
Sibley will shortly join her husband here,

married a few days since to a prominent
young Americao; James, the only son is
now civil engineer of that city,
Adjt. R. Moore, of the Salvation Army,
is visiting his mother and other friends
here. He has lately been stationed at
Bracebridge, where he had the great mis-
fortune to lose his wife; she was only ill a
very short time and leaves a little girl 18
months old; her remains were interred at
Lindsay, her former home. As Mr Moore
does not wish to return to Bracebridge, it
is likely his next appointment will be in
the East Provinces.
T. H. Race, of the Mitchell Recorder,
who was Midge of fruit at the fair here,
has performed this duty so often here that
he has almost become a part of the insti.
tution. It is to his credit that his decisions
give very general satisfaction, and so they
should, for he is an expert in this particu-
lar line, his services being yearly in re-
quisition at all the important fairs. But
Mr Race's abilities do not end here by any
means, for he is one of the best writers in
the country press; in fact some of his edi-
torials are regarded as displaying greater
ability than those of papers with much
iter pretensions than his own.

Marys this week.

THE RIGHT OF WAY. -It is a well-es-
tablished principle of law that in cross-
ing streets or highways the person on
foot has the right of way. Drivers and
bicycle riders should always hear this
fact in mind. It is law, and if you in-
jure a pedestrian by careless driving or
riding you are responsible for it. A
person is not required by law to run
across the street to keep out of the way
of vehicles and bicycles. The drivers
and riders are the ones to look out for
a clear track.
TnIFLEs.-Frosty nights have set in.
Dnok` shooting is in season. Council
meeting Monday evening, Oct. 3. The
plebiscite vote one week from yesterday.
The weather is becoming more fall -like
again. The autumn tints are gradually
beginning to appear. Overcoats and furs
are in demand these chilly evenings. The
stove dealers and coal merchants wear a
very contented look just now. Fall fairs
will now have their innings, Now for a
live autumn business; the prospects are
good; buyers are keen and money likely to
be freely spent. There will be a lively
scramble after business this fall, and the
man who hustles most will likely get the
best of the effort. No effort is entirely
lost which awakens the interest of the
buying public -advertise in the New ERA
for the fall trade. Since the rains follow-
ing the warm weather the lawns and pas-
tures have taken a fresh start and look
beautifully green and attractive again. -
MANY DOHERTY ORGANS SOLD, -
The London Advertiser, in its Wes-
tern Fair notes, says: -The number of
Doherty organs sold at- the Toronto
Exposition was marvellous. The
number already sold at the, Western
Fair would indicate that the record
here will be equally astonishing. There
is food for much thought in this. The
people can's be fooled all the time.
Year after year the sales of Doherty
organs have gone on increasing with
a steadiness and rapidity that has
made the Doherty Organ Co. by far
the largest) concern ofits Ikind in the
Dominion. There is only one conclu-
sion possible. The public has discover-
ed that the Doertn is not ex-
celled by any other Beginning ng w th
this fact, the wonderful growth of the
Doherty Organ Company's business
becomes a very simple matter. Every
organ that leaves the factory is a mis-
sionary. Wherever; one Doherty
organ has found its way into a com-
munity, many more speedily followed.
To see and hear the Doherty organ is
to admit that it has no superior. This
accounts for the immense sales at the
fair,
