the county of haltoa agricultural society held in lfilton lst thursday and friday was one dt the mopt successful ever held in the county the weather was very favor able in act more desirable day could not possibly have been the aggregate number of entries was large and the attendance of visitors very satisfactory in raoine departments the entries were much smsjjer than on former years while in others the increase was very marked the show of dairy products and fruits was inferior to that of other years and many were the remarks respecting this in grain and roots the display was considered very good one of the best features of the show this year was the exhibit of ladies worky and to this may also be added fine arts these classes were both much superior to ordinary years in the field the show was folly equal to that of last year in every department while in nme in was better there was an im provement a very marked improvement jn cattle the show this year embracing several as fine animals as one could desire to see in a show ring there wjts a large and good show of sheep of the various hreeds- in pigs also there was a turshovr bnt ponltev was very poody represented there was also as is usual at milton a good display- of implements the principal attraction of course was the horse ring and a better exhibition of horses has seldom beefc seen at any county show during the whole day the ring was crowded with spectators and the numerous prize tickets were displayed by the fortunate owners of prize stock with no little pride several of oar local horsemen entered stock bnt none were winners of prizes the splendid team of general purpose threeyearolds belonging to mr jno wrigglesworth es- jpwsing which becnred the red ticket at georgetown won first prize again here and were sold during the day to messrs hendrie jttca hamilton for w50- inleicisteraiid tinrrw sheep the name of 3r x w waldie of acton appears prominently among the prize winners a special feature of the day was the band contest and this proved one most attractive to visitors there were five entries viz acton brampton nerval orangevilk and streetavilie the cotn- petition was keen and every band present proved that the class of music played by country bandshas advanced very perecpt- ibly during the past year or so competent judges freely state that the music discours ed by the bands in this contest was superior in many points to that presented during tne mate contest at the toronto industrial ex- the winners were brampton first orangjbvilld second and streetavilie third jjince the band competition has assumed snch creditable proportions we think the society shonld do all in itc power to encourage the bands by making the prizes of sufficiently large amount to recoup in some measure the competitors for their trouble and expehse judges of experience with bands and band music j should also be employed the society should set apart at least 100 for this pur pose for it is evident to all that the pres ence or absence of the bands tend very materially to determine the success or fail- ure of the exhibition it was a very remarkable and most com- mandible fact that during the whole day and evening not a single drunken man was to be seen either on the show grounds or in the town how many counties in this dominion can truthfully say tbia verilv the good nd satisfactory effects of

trite editor of fafrttprtm 6m as the cemetery bylaw u the topic of discussion in our village at present allow me to impose on your valuable tptce in order to bring the matter in its true light before the property holders of this munici pality who will be called upon to vote an appropriation for the purchase of a suit able site on the 10th of november with regard to the necessity of theoeme- terr there can be no two opinions as the one we have is now about filled and were it not it is liable to be closed at any time should the council see fit to close it henoe this question has forced itself upon this com m unity ah will admit that the cemetery we want and the cemetery we shall have about four years ago the council foresee- ing this appointed a committee to ascertain where a suitable site could be obtained this committee after viewing several places and interviewing their owners decid ed upon the land known as the steel proper ty a br- law was then submitted to the ratepayers to provide the fund for the pur chase of the cemetery at that time cer tain parties no doubt prompted merely by a desire to oppose exerted themselves iu such a manner as enabled them to obtain its defeat but now the question is again before us and a certain element who have manifest ed their interest in the welfare of the public by allowing four years to paas without put ting forth an effort to provide for require ments of the community are still found opppsing it these parties have circulated a report to the effect that the owners of the steel property intend forcing it upon the village aolau wfew at the excessive price of 11500 having heard this i inter viewed the present owners who informed me that the price asked is 950 the extra h50 asked by the council if no required for improvements will never be raised as to forcing this property upon the village on tie contrary they are not only not anxious for the people to take it at all but are perfect ly willing- the council should purchase any site the ratepayers may prefer certainly no one can complain at this hence if the steel property is the only thing these objectors find fault with let them go to ork and select a suitable place and allow the people to say which they will have and thus show the interest they have in the public welfare instead of acting the dog in the manger doing nothing themselves but trying to hinder others who would let it also be remembered that it is not the steel property or any other yoaare called to vote upon but only to place suffi cient means in the hands of the council to enable them to purchase any site the people way select for a purpose which is admitted by all to be an absolute necessity now s word to those who are alarmed about increased taxation supposing the whole amount of the purchase price of the cemetery should require to be raised by direct taxation qifc would only necessitate an extra seventy six hundredths of a mill on our present assessment for example a person aaaessed for 1000 would have to pay 76 eta for cemetery purposes and when we remem oer that this should be a self pay ing concern it leaves no room for cavilers to raise airrorc about taxes
