Scott, of Seaforth, wags ]tilled in a motor accident 'on' Friday afternoon last, on the North Road, two wiles south of 'Brussels. In coMpanY with Mr. R. F. Jones he 'had motored to Bluevale in the morning to visit• at the home of his brother, Mar was returning about 8.30 in tits afternoon whenithe accident occurred. There was a. strdng west wind blo ing, ' and es they turned on to the 'Seaforth road, Dr. Scott's' hat was blown into the back of the car. They 'had just passed the Brus ela ceme- fery,. when the same thing occurred, but this time the doctor thought the hat had been . blown on to the road andhe spoke to Mr. Jones,; who HUM - ped his car on the narrow road, near the approach to the bridge. The car had no sooner stopped than the doe - tor had the door open, and stepped out, at the same time Mr„ Jones drawing his attention to andllin . to g. him to be careful of a car approach-, ing from the south. He answered, but whether be forgot the warning or thought he had time to cross the road, is not known, but after pass ing along the safe side of the car, he Stepped out -from . behind it directly in front of the . approaching car, a large Durant, the two men, three women and a baby, which had no possible' chance, of missing him, although the : driver ditched his car in an effort to avoid a collision. The handle of one of the car doors caught Dr. Scott's coat under the right arm, throwing him.; off his .feet and back against the rear fender of the car with such force as to fracture his skull and one leg. Mr. Jones, who had remained in the car with the inter- tion of backing to a wider part' of the • road, and then getting out to assist in the search for the hat, was surprised a moment later to hear a cry and jumping out of the car he yaw Dr. Scott lying on the road a short distance back, but could not at first see the other ear, as it had gone down a six-foot ditch, and then turn- ed turtle, throwing the occupants in- to three feet of water. After being assured that the men would be able to rescue the other members of their party, Mr. Jones ran to the nearest house and phoned to Brussels for medical aid. Returning he offered his car to the other driver .to take his party into Brussels, one of the ladies having been badly injured, and the baby 'barely escaped drowning. The man however, vans too greatly shock- . ed.tro handle a ear, and he was left tipPds nl r',Beat't'while-rMr. Jones himself drove the injured to Brussels, passing the medical assistance phoned for on his way in. When the Brus- sels doctor arrived he had Dr. Scott placed on a passing truck and taken to Brussels, whe Ire remained until Dr. Mackay, of rth, who had been phoned for, rrived, who put him in a car in an endeavor to bring him home, but he passed away when reaching almost the point at which the accident occurred, and barely two hours after, never having regained consciousness. The late James G. Scott; M.D., was born on the 18th of February, 1842, at Galt, Waterloo County, being a son of the late Frank Scott, one of the pioneer residents of this county whose farm adjoined Seaforth on the west. He received his education at the pub- lic schools and Toronto Normal School, at the latter institution ob- taining two Normal School certifi- cates. After this he taught in the public school of Petrolia, in School Section No, 6, McKillop Township and in Oil Springs, Lambton County, of 'which school he was principal. In the latter school he commenced his professional studies with Dr. Savage. In the year 1867 he attended the University of Michigan and graduat- ed with honors in the year 1869. Af- ter this he entered Victoria Medical College, Toronto, graduating in 1870, and in the same year graduated from the College of Physicians and Sur- geons. He then commenced the prac- tice of his profession in the village. of Bluevale, remaining there nearly four years. In 1874 he removed to Seaforth, where he continued the ac- tive practice of his profession until June of last year. He early acquired a very large practise, the extent of which necessitated him, in 1891, as- sociating as his partner Dr. Charles Mackay, and this partnership con- tinued until his retirement, Dr. Scott was born on a farm and all his life took a great interest in agricultural and horticultural mat- ters. For many years he owned a farm in Harpurhey, on which he had a deet' park and where he kept ex- cellent livestock, and was also a breeder of imported Shetland ponies and thoroughbred poultry. With ad- vancing years he sold his farm, but his interest in horticultural was main- tained to the last, and the greater part of his time during the summer months, since his retirement from ac- tiskt practise a year ago, was spent til) the cultivation of his beautiful ep at his residence on Goderich ''.West. e eves a member of the Pre terian church, and also of Alexart todge A.

THE RURAL SCHOOL FAIR The following from the London Advertiser can not be repeated too often, if the Rural ScltboI' Fair is to hold the popular place to which it has attained during the past two or three years: "The Rural School Fair which is held in nearly every section of the country will be taking place next month and is always an outstanding event in the lives of the children. Those who got seeds or eggs from the department last spring and have been taking care of their own gar- dens or chickens throughout the sum- mer months are confidently looking forward to carrying MY many prizes when Fair Day comes. And good luck to them ail, for they deserve the re- ward for their labor. But right here is a point worth watching—what a- bout the children who have neglected their plots and poultry and have nothing to exhibit? The parents of many of these youngsters will do them inestimable harm by - letting them show vegetables from the home garden or chickens Nom the` home roost in place of what they should have raised themselves. The fathers and big brothers will make bird- houses and other manual training 'articles and the mothers and big sis- ters will dress dolls and bake cakes which will be shown as the sole work of the child. Thus the child gets his first lesson in dishonesty, and all for the sake of a few dollars prize I money. And the example is far- reaching, too, as the youngster who has tried honestly to do his best this year will next year try to get some ()wen Sound AT MOURN Wednesldayi .Sept. 5th.

COIF AND HELP THE BOYS TO WIN. older person to help him because "the other kids do." The School Fair is a great power for good throughout the country and the managers and direc- tors are not to blame for this phase of it. The teachers can help a little by trying to instil the right motives into the minds of the pupils but the root of the matter lies in the home where every child should be taught the fundamental principles of being an honest winner or a game loser," FROM MANITOBA ` Swan River, Au 24th. Dear Expositor: I am a little slow, but have been on the move quite a bit since tiling West, so am just getting kind of settled down to quite life now, I must say am I it v quite a fa ourabl im- pressed with my new home. Though in what they term one of the newer districts, it is quite a progressive place and meets nearly all the ord- inary wants, and is noted for its good schools and business places and an abundance of churches, seven dif- ferent branches are represented, a town- band,'.epObeeh oeohestras, etc.,. and a very sociable class of people, ready to give the hand of welcome to all strangers. In meeting people quite a common query is: "What part of Ontario are you from?"; when one meeting Seaforth or neigh- borhood the reply is: "Oh! I'm from near that part," Owen Sound, St. Catherines, Niagara Falls, Teeswa- ter, Listowel, Exeter being the near- est until Sunday night when I met a Mr. Morrison and wife at a church meeting. He used to clerk for "Toni Kidd" some 35 years ago. He farm- ed here for a time, but is living re- tired now. We had a very pleasant chat about all the old timers. Farmers are just nicely started harvest and crop prospects are fair in this section. I am pleased to say all friends well and am enjoying a fair share myself. Yours respectfully, MRS. D, SPROAT.

Mr. Mc- Lean has held an important position in the Packard Motor Works in De- troit for the past year. He journey- ed to Strathroy to spend the week end with friends, and not feeling well he was induced to consult a physic- ian and specialist, when they diagnos- ed his ailment as Bright's disease and advised him to take treatment. He arrived home on Tuesday evening and consulted the family physician, who told him of the gravity of his case, but all that medical skill and nursing could do proved of no avail.

Mr. McLean was born on the old McLean home- stead thirty years ago, and received his early education at No. 10 school, later attending Exeter high school for two years. He then took a course at the Stratford Business College from which he was successful in se- curing a position on the Gra.,d Trunk Railway at Bright. Owing to his exceptional ability he was promoted to a responsible position at Owen Sound, where he made many friends by his cheerful and bappy disposi- tion and was a favorite among all those he came in contact and whilst in that place he became a member of the Masonic Order. When war broke out he was amongst the first to offer his services and helped to. organize and enlist the 147th Bat- talion, Grey, and took position as ;orderly Room Sergeant, being in charge of the clerical work. Later he went overseas and when his Bat- talion was broken up, served with the 58th in the Canadian Division, seeing active service in the trenches. On his return he was offered and accepted his poeffIdon on the G. T. R. at Strathroy iw'here jie took a deep interest in the Boy Scouts and was appointed: Scoutmaster, and by his untiring energy brought the corps to a high state of efficiency. He was highly esteemed by the people ,Strath, and his death comi II,S,' did, hays caused 'deep sorrow and regret that a life so promising should have been taken' away at such an early date. Died In Winnipeg.—News has been received here that on the 13th of August there passed away at the home of her ion, in Winnipeg, Mrs. Pengally, a past resident of this section, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Wren. Her demise marks the passing of the last of her genera- tion. She was a woman who was ever ready to do a kind acdjq and proved a great friend during sick- ness. Notes.—Miss Mitchell, of Toronto, is visiting at the home of Mrs. S. G. Chambers.— On Sunday afternoon last an impressive service was held on the banks of the Sauble River on the farm of Mr. W. Cooper, by the Plymouth Brethren, who have been holding camp meetings here during the summer. After the service four converts were baptized by immersion, in the presence of a large number of people. In the evening they held their last meeting of the season.— Mr. and Mrs, W. Mooney, of London, were visiting Mrs. Mooney's father, who is very ill,—Mrs, G. W. Wren is at present visiting relatives in Lon- don, KIN&URN Kinburn Go Into Finals.—The fol- lowing is what the Stratford reporter had to say about the game in that city on Tuesday, when Kinburn earn- ed the right to . go into the finals with Owen Sound: "Battling their way through a sea of mud, with darkness fast closing in, fighting a- gainst a two goal lead and, forced to use the same tactics as the bustling Kinhurn footballers, Stratford's W. F. A. Intermediate was last night good enough to win on home ground by two goals to one. But the semi- final round, at present standing, goes to Kinburn by four goals to three. Six times Kinhurn and Stratford have been drawn to meet in the W. F. A. semi-finals, Once the match was postponed because of rain and in an- other instance the genre was called when a downpour interrupted half way through, On Saturday last Kin - burn got the advantage by a 2-0 score at home. Last night Stratford won 2-1, just one goal short of knot- ting the count again. Stratford, how- ever, seems almost sure of winning the protest as the Hespeler precedent is followed. In that case the Local team will go into the finals with Owen Sound. Stratford was maimed badly for last night's contest. Dave Borthwick, their sharpshooter, was on the .sidelines with an injured foot, the result of an accident early in Satur- day's match. The veteran, Brookshaw whose knee was hurt in the game last Wednesday here, was back at full hack but his nnbandaged knee gave out half way through the first bail and he could not Irick as strong- ly afterwards as he is usually capable of doing.

The goalie never touch- ed the ball. Following a free kick half way through the period, Strat- ford pressed in butthe ball was clear- ed and play went to the opposite end_ A fight was started on the right wing; in Stratford territory and with this event the crowd swarmed on. the field' so that it was difficult to see just what players were exchanging blows. Kinburn was anxious and players: were offside often. At 25 minutes Brookshaw's knee gave out on hint and he had to be removed from the field. Following a free kick, Strat- ford secured a penalty, a half -tack handling the ball. Aitcheson took the kick and made no. mistake, placing - the ball 'beautifully just under the cross bar. The goalie made a futile• attempt to save but barely touched the ball. The goal added zest to the homesters' attack and Aitcheson had the whole forward line with him in a thrilling offensive. Hawthorne had the time of his life punching the ball.. out repeatedly. Stratford got a free g kick when, Dundas biffed Clappisors but play was returned to the Strat- ford end quickly and the visitors'. in- side right sent a shot in the goal. Murray was unable to clear as the, ball struck in the sea of mud in front of the goal. The backs rushed into, his assistance but Dundas was quick and had the ball first and shut at through from a short distance, a' alizing the count. Just at the of the period Andrew .Fisher`? Sloane figured in a good rush an cured a free kick. Clappison 'to the kick but Govenlock cleared. :YY- ter the re -start Barclay took a'dd'er-• • nor kick which Stratford had •secur- ed and the team pressed in but the mud around the goal was too much for them. Stratford secured several corners in this period but the ball was hustled out of the danger zone by , bustling play. The sun had long since disappeared and the hes . black, clouds crowded out what ljtday-, light remained, Street Ugh.sr� round the park were turned on ten r,'nutes before the game ended. It : a dif- ficult to follow the play MR way down the field. The pace vvieri sed up and with two minutes to go Stratford went into the lead when Barclay seared, He kicked the ball from just outside the penalty area as an op- ponent charged bins and the sphere carved and came into the goal an inch or so from the opposite upright,, Stratford pressed excitedly after the hall was centred but they were unable to increase their lead in the game.
