The prize list was carefully revised, and

tive than it has ever been befOre, as the
prizee in nearly every de ent have
been doubled. The sum of 1,200 will
third more than has eve bee offered by
any other society in this Cou ty. This
certainly speaks well for the enterprise
and energy of the manag ment, and
hoed secure for the fee iety he encour-

ict that so large a prize list will bring

see in our exchanges illustrations of
in the lives of m who hese started
"great results froF small beginnings,"
with nothing bey nd their hreinie and
who have hewed out for themselves a
ccessful position in life. Let tur give
GU
an instance, furnitlied on the evidence of
one whose word is to be relied upon.
Many years ago the Neu of a farmer on
the Huron Road, Goderich Township,
away from home to make his own
li His fathet met him on the road,
and, learning his determination, gave
him a shilling, with the remark,
" Here, George, is a shilling with
which to purchase a knife to cut
your meat. Mali all you will get from
me ; now go." The youth went. Find-
ing employment at that one thing and
then another, he gradually worked ftis
way up he the world. Success seemed
to crown all his lahors, till'at last he be-
came one of the firet businese men in the
place in which he had settled, and held
a high social positien among his fellows.

find. out for themselves. Let this be an
example of what brains, energy and pru-
dence, combined With etriet integrity,
can accomplish.
