FIRE,-1.he old saying is often very true. "it never rains but it pours," and so it seems with Blyth, as concerning fires. The village has suffered &mai three fires since February, the last one being the gram elevator on the west side of the G. T. R. tracks, operated by George Powell, The ftre commenced about nine o'clock on Thursday even- ing, the north end, at the top storey, The firemen were on hand in a few minutes, but owing to the northerly wind could do nothing but preventing the surrounding buildings from ignit- ing; they fought desperately, in a few minutes pumping the tank dry; they then ran to the brick yard, where there was an ample supply of water, and thus kept the fire from spreading, There was some insurance on the ele- vator, in which there were several thousand bushels of grain. It is not yet known what Mr Powell will do. but we hope he will rebuild as soon as possible. LOCALS. -Mrs G.

The farmer of 1900 is A great im- preemie-At on his predecessor of 20 years ago. A great improvement ts noticeable, even during the preseut decade. The farmers dress better than they did a few years ago; they drive better rigs and spend more money on themselves' and their families:while in the city. This year the farmers of On- tario appear to be enjoying exception- al prosperity. The activity that cha- racterizes every line of businese in To- ronto just now is but a- reflex of the prosperity that exists ail over the pro- vince. The farmer is. the backbone of the country. Our cities depend almost entirely on the country for their pros- perity, and no one tan .afford to re- joice more at the welfare of the farm- ers than the residents of the cities.- Toronto World, . The Hamilton Titnes makes the fol- lowing comments upon these few true statements, and everyelector-should use them as an object lesson to guide him in the next' election :-"Right you are. The present government of Canada re- cognized the importance of the farm- ing interests, and they set about re1iev- ing the farmer of the incubus of the N. E. as soon as they vet into power. He is now treated as one -having a right to a say in government, and net a mere person to. be taxed. He is put on a level with the manufacturer mad the merchant, and given an equal chance, and he enjoys the change; he is prospering, and the cities share his prosperity, And now that he meg how the thing is done he is not likely to want to go back to be an N. P. cart- horse again. . PI Solid Huron.. In its °tuition notes the Globe. .seys:L- Huron is a solid Liberal county and each of the three ridings are representedby men who were elected by large majorities.

East Huron is repreeiented by Dr. Peter Macdonald, a clear thinker and an able and vigorone speaker, who is listened to with attention whenever he riseii-to address the House. He is a keen student of polities' affairs and readily grasps the salient features of any question that may be under discussion. He has held the seat for three successive Parlamenti' and the riding is solid for Liberalism. Mr Robert Holmes, who was eleoted for West Huron in the bye-eleotion in 1898, will again be the Liberal eandidate at the gemeral eleotion. The riding bast been Liberal since its ereotion in 1882, with the exception of one Parliament. Mr Holmes, who is a, newspaper man, is opposed by Mr Robt. McLean, a oattle-dealer. Both are old residents of the riding and have large intereete them, but Mr Holmes de- feated his oppoment two years ago by a handsonse majority, And the popnlarity 61 of the polioy whith Mr Holmes supports has undoubtedly added to his strength since the forMer election, ONIIIMM11.1.10,0 Richelieu is coming, Saturdnyo Sept. 15tho The Rey.

' DEAR SIR, -As I *saw in the NEW BEA a short time ago a date named for the reat Huron Central Exhibition, and last week learned that there.wonld not be one, I feed theta few words relioingto the matter will not he out of place. Au say, and truly so, that Clinton should haTe one of the 'beet fall fairs, being centrally situated and fa• voted with railway communication from •alt the cardinal points, and surroundEd by good, if not the best agricultural country under the sun, there is no reason why this should not be the case. As it is expected that the government will shortly confine he aid to county fairs a central location should be chosen, and now that distance is compa- ratively an,,ibilitted, all can attend the cen- tral one wirbout difficulty, therefore,.like many other thing's ownehip fairs have lost their usefulness, There is also -another reason why fairs should be limited to one for each county, and that is the establish- ment of annual mock sales, or oftener if found called for,and the grounds and build- ings could be used for that purpose. These i sales would materially aid n the further- ance of thoroughbred stook breeding, and the government could more reasonably be . requested to encourage them. To attain this objeet will require some efforts, and all would be well compensated in the result In the past year the Seciety has not been able to pay prizes and other Expenses, and each year immune worse and worm owing to lack of;interest, because we were not up- to•date, A. meeting was called to appoint a new board of direotors and to devise plans to make this fair what it should be -the best in the coanty, A plan was pre- sented to the town council, and a commit._ steirirprieibited to Theerthe directors. The society met the bouneil, who seemed to have little interest in the matter, or were afraid to so* as representatives of the different wards of the town for fear they might lose a; vote when election day (lenses for their coveted but not very laorative positione. The moiety committee called several meetings, and when the night 9f meeting came had to send for the council personally. The council oeminittee pro- posed to assist in the enterprise, and a resolution carried unanimonslyavith a pro- mise to bring it before the council at the June meeting, but up to the present no re- port has been made. So the direetors con- sider themselves treated very unbusiness- like by the Clinton town council. As your municipal elections will be cora. ing on it will be the time to say whether you want a fair or not. Of course yon may expect the usual opposition to any- thing in the way of progress in Clinton by the narrow:minded.: I hope this may bring the matter in a pure light before your readers, and leave the reeponeibility not On the Agrionitural committee, Who used their best efforts to arrange matters so that we would have what we should have -the "leader." s ONE INTERESTED.
