FALL FAIR CONCERT Included inthe very attractive pro gramme to be given in the Wingham Town Hall on Saturday Evening,Oc tober 10th, by the Orpheus Mal Choir of Kitchener, will be a numbeP of selections on the xylophone. Thi unusual instrument, well played, al g ways provides satisfying entertain- ment, and the artist accompanying the choir is a. raster at producing all the music there is in the instrument. The Eiger .Quartette which forms part of the choir are capable of pro- ducing a complete programme them- selves which would be well worth the price of admission, but a choir of 30 trained male voices will indeed ren- der a musical festival such as has been seldom witnessed here. Every- where the choir has put on a concert they have been enthusiastically re- ceived and we are sure the people of this vicinity will not be slow to avail themselves of an opportunity'to hear the programme of beautiful music which will be rendered. Great lovers of music themselves the choir mem- bers follow this work as a hobby and under the skilled direction of their able conductor, Mr. R. A. MacGil- livray, they thrill vast audiences with their fin:. musical expression, The Chamber of Commerce who have undertaken the responsibility of the Fall Fair Concert this year are following their. established custom of charging on"l"y twenty-five cents ad mission. There will be an additional ten . cent charge for reserved seats. To be able to purchase an admission to such a splendid concert for only twenty-five cents is indeed an agree- able surprise and a packed house is assured. A sacred concert will be rendered on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 11th, at 4 p.m., in the Town Hall by the same choir. A silver collection at the door will be used for charitable purposes, e r s Goderich Harbor Contract Given Anauncement was made yesterday of the awarding of the contract for 100 feet of crib work at the Goderich harbor to the Kelly Construction Co., of Toronto, by the department of public works, Ottawa.

Tenders also have been called for the completion of the north and south piers at the harbor, for which $35,000 was provided in the estimates last June.

Locked Out of Jail It is usually the idea of being lock- ed in jail that does not appeal very strongly to one, but the other day a couple of trusties at the county jail who had been set a task in the jail garden, and found the entrance to the jail locked when they were ready to return, felt a little put out for the moment, so the story goes. They thought jail a funny place when you could not get out when you were in or in when you were out.-Goderich Star. Spanking Ordered for Boys Magistrate J. A. Makins of Strat- ford held juvenile court in Listowel• last Wednesday afternoon and he was of the opinion that there is nothing better for a boy who has run foul of the law than a good spanking and that was the medicine he handed out to cure two Listowel lads of fourteen who had stolen two car batteries.
