Discussing Fall Fairs, The Farmer's Advocate remarks that if rural dwellers remain away from the annual exhibition the reason is not that they grudge the payment of the admission fte, but "too often they consider the loss of the day on the farm is but compensated by the enjoyment and ideas received at the fair, and too often farmers do not at- tend in a receptive mood. Criticisms are often heard from spectators that they have better live stock, fruit, farm produce and other articles at home. If such be true they should exhibit or keep their opinion to themselves, for they have not done their duty in making the exhibition a sticcess." The way to have , a successful fair is through cordial co- operation on the part of all who have an interest in the development and pro- gress of the community in which they live. Death of Wm. Pringle. The following from Hinchley, Minne- sota, Herald, of July 23th, refers to the death of William Pringle, son of Mrs. Andrew Pringle. Mr, Pringle will be remembered by many of our readers. The Herald says:— William Pringle, after an illness of about three week, passed away early Sunday morning. The deceased was well known in this vicinity and had made many friends since locating here about 8 yearn ago, coming here from Super- ior. He was a harness Maker by trade and conducted a harness and shoe shop. Ile had reached the age of 57 years, 1 month and 19 days, and was born at Wingham, Ontario, Canada, in June, 1857. Ilis aged mother resides at the old home in Canada. Ife leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, Sarah Jane Pringle, and six children: Mar- garet, Etta, McKinley, Johnny, Ruth and an infant child. Two brothers, 30110, of Saskatoon, Seals., David of Sarnia, Ont., and a sister, Jane, of Wingham, Ont., survive .him. The taro brothers Were present at the fun- eral and Mrs. Melton, a Consin, of Sus Voters' Lists Appeals. Saturday was the last day on which appeals could be entered against the Wingham voters' list. There were 298 appeals entered and of these 89 were made by A. H. IVIusgrove, M.P.F., and 209 by fL B. Elliott. The list will be sent to His Honor Judge Doyle, who will fix the date for the Court of Re- yision. Farmers Face Difficult Problem Recent heavy and frequent rains have retarded harvesting operations seriously, While for the most part the hay had been disposed of, in order to secure wheat and oats, with the result that on some farms hay is still to be cut Barley and wheat are in stook and the oat crop, which is heavy. is - lying flat, Thus, a complication of work and worry faces the farmer, who ardently wishes for clear, bright drying weather. Retiring After Fifty Years. Mr. T. Ausebrook, the wellk nown con dilator on the Grand Trunk Railway between Goderich and Buffalo, has re- tired from the service of the company after fifty years faithful service. Mr. Ausebrook made his first run on August lst, 1865, and his last on July 31st, 1915. He has, no doubt. had many and varied experiences during these many years and he considers himself fortunate to have come through as well as he has, never having had many serious mishaps. Mr. Ausebrook was not only a careful and efficient railway man but a most kindly and obliging official • and he 'aid be much missed and long remembered by travellers on the Buffalo-Goderich Branch.

Some one will be there all day to receive donations. Damage to Crops. Damage running into many thousands has been caused by the recent heavy downpours of rain and the farmers of this section who were previously happily looking forward to harvesting, in this time of crisis, one of the most promis- ing crops in many years, have a feeling of keen disappointment for a large pro- portion of their splendid fields of grain now lie as though flattened by a land. roller. And, as would be expected, the finest samples of grain were the ones to suffer most. Being tall and heavy, little of it is expected to aright itself again. Certainly the storm, has proven a serious blow to the farmers of this section. Quiet Home Wedding.
