THE SALT TO Use. --Coleman'$ salt works;
of Seaforth, are earning an enviable repute -
tine -for their table and dairy salt. At the
Toronto Industrial Exhibition, creamery
butter salted with Coleman's butter salt,
received fi ve prizes, three- firsts and two
seconds, out of a total of six given, three
firsts and three seconds. The competition
was open to the world, and such a sweep is,
we believe, without a precedent. This is °a
practical test of the excellentcuring quali-
ties of this salt, and should ensure it the
favor of dairymen generally.

A est a veas t'D, Paine WINNER.—Miss
Louise Sperling, daughter of F. G. Sperling,
ot Wingham, formerly of Seeferth, was a
successful prize winner in the fancy work
department at the Toronto exhibition.
Among other prizes the Globe makes special
reference to two. It says:: " Mies Louise
Spading, of Wingham, gets a first' prize for
a pretty handkerchief case made of bolting
cloth over yellow silk, embroidered with
violets." Again : " A beautifuipiece of
ivory embroidery, whieh•.is'lone, of course,
on fine silk canvas, with embroidery in
cream sink and drawnwork, has won a first
prize tor WAS Lau ee L. Spading, of Wing=
ham." Miss �.parling also got second prize
for handmade underclothing.

DEATH a'i MR. DAVID MWiclsay.—Mr.
i)avid M alrray, youngest son of Mrs. John
f I Murray, of Seaforth, died on Saturday after-
, noon last. The sad event was not unexpected.
Ile had not been in robust health for a year
and a half, and unmistakable : symptoms of
consumption became manifest early lastspring
and the disease developedvery rapidly. He
Iwas only la years of age and was a bright,
I promising -young man who was a universal
favorite with all who knew him. His death
is a specially severe bereavement to his
mother, as this is the second ;son who has
died within(two years. The sincerest sym-
pathy of many friends will be extended to
her and the ' bereaved brother and sisters.
The deceased was "call boy " in the Sea -
forth fire brigade and the rnem:ber`s paid a last
tribute of respect to his memory by attend-
ing the funeral in a body and marching to
the cemetery. The funeral took !place on
_Monday afternoon and was largely intended.

Da .tTlr OP •M1t. RODI:RICIC Gni y.—sir.
Roderick Grey, of the 2nd conoessicin of Mc-
Killop, near Seaforth, died On Saturday
feet. Mr. Grey had been] in failing health
for about three years, having suffered from
an attack ot paralysis, and for some months
he had been confined to his residence most
of the time. His death, therefore, was not
unexpected, and in his case it was a relief.
He was born at Mill of Towie,ljarish of
Fyvie; Aberdeenshire, Scotland, in the l
year 1533. He earns to Canada ith the I
other members of his family in. 1 47, and
settled in the county of Oxford, near Wood- I
stock. He remained there for twenty-seven
years and came to Huron in 1873, settling
on the farm in -McKillop, where he ijemained
until his death. He leaves a widow and
Iamily of three sons and one daughter. Mr.
Grey was one of nature's noblemen ad few
men are held in higher 'esteem for their
sterling worth and integrity. In hie own
unostentatious way he was never weary in
well doing and lived the profession which he
made before his fellows. He was aid elder
of the Fleet Presbyterian church, Seaforth,
for nineteen years, and always took a morlt
active interest in the affairs of that congre-
gation. In temporal matters he was indus-
trious and well doing, and was one of the
best and most succesef ul • fanners ' in the
county, and whatever he'undertook he tried
to carry out to a best of his ability. He
will be muoh. And long missed in the com-
munity where he had lived so long -and was
so highly•respeoted. ,

HURON AT THE INDUSTRIAL. -Huron.: was
again this year well and worthily represent-
ed at the Industrial Exhibition, at Toronto,
especially in the stock lie. Our exhibi-
tors, however, were not as successful in car-
rying off big premiums as they have been in
some former years. We notice that Berry
& _Geiger, of Hensel!, were au`cceseful in
carrying off first and diploma for their shire
stallion ;• Mr, Peter McGregor,' of ruce-
field, also took a good place fora eavy
stallion which he recently -imported ; Mr.

borne,got several prizes for his thoroii hbred
Shorthorns, as did also Mr. B. W. mith,
of Hay, while Mr.' Wm. McAllis er, 4f
Stanley, was well to the front wi
Berkshire pigs. We. have made mention of
other prize winners in other parts of this
issue. On the whole, Huron, has . held her
own this year. She doesnot often -take a
