These United Counties were well represented represented at the Great National Live Stock, "Horticultural and Dairy Show in Toronto Exhibition grounds and buildings last week and won a splendid lot of prizes, outclassing the whole Province in apples. The exhibition was concluded at midnight midnight Saturday. It is probable that no other exhibition in this country made such a grand showing for its first year as this one and Toronto citizens and its promoters promoters may justly feel- very profod over its remarkable success. Every person that visited it on Saturday and all through the week, was pleased, and they vied with each other in praising the one or more particular department that pleased them most. One person would be heard to re mark on the beauty of the flowers or of be fruits; another would laud the wonder- ul poultry "show, another the dogs, and and still another person would tell all these that the horses or the cattle, per- iaps the sheep or the swine, as the case was, were the finest of all. The thousands thousands of visitors that were there on Saturday Saturday will be walking and talking adver- • isements for the show for a long time to come. A large number visited it from iere and came home delighted with it. Another year it is likely that more of our local stockmen will be exhibitors as those who took a venture this year met with most encouraging success. Two championships on horses came; to Durham county. The championship Standard-bred stallions was "Autevole Rysdy" owned by Mr. S. A. Devitt, Cadmus, Cartwright, and the champion Hackney mare was Londesborough Madge formerly owned by Senator Beith of Waverley stables, Bowmanville, now- owned by Crow & Murray, Toronto. Senator Beith's popular popular 3-year-old Hackney stallion "Gallant Solway" would surely have been a bril liant winner but was sold at a very fancy figure just before the Show to Sir Henry Pellett, Toronto, and was not exhibited. He is one of the finest type of Hackney that has .gone but from Waverley stables. Senator Beith's handsome 2-year-old Hackney "Main Spring" won 1st prize and the young imported Clydesdale mare "Belle of Black Hill" headed her class. J. F. Staples & Son, Ida, Cavan, won in Canadian Clydesdale classes. The honors that came to Northumberland Northumberland and Durham fruit-growers were the greatest win of the Show. The Toronto Daily Globe article in another column bears out this statement. Local poultry fanciers also made a creditable showing in the poultry section. Among the winners were : Chas. Rice, 4 firsts, 3 seconds, 3 thirds, I- fourth on Spanish and Black Wyandotte's;- f- S. S. Basai!, Basai!, second and third on White Leghorns; Fred Pattinson, fourth on Columbians; Thos. Bottrell & Son 1 first, 3 seconds, 2 thirds, I fifth on bantams and pigeons. The exhibition car of the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway containing products of the Northern and newer part of our Province was stationed at the head of the spur-line at east end of local Freight sheds Saturday. The car was in charge of Mr. G. E. Palmer, Colonization Department T. & N. O., Railway, Engle- hart, and Mr. C. A. Young, of the Government Government Experimèntal Fruit station, Richard's Landing, Algoma, who reported reported the- largest attendance here of any single day sinde they started, there being ing well over a thousand people who visitai visitai the car at Bowmanville, another proof that it pays to advertise in The James Papers as the official announce ment was made in them. The gentlemen in charge were kept busy most of the time answering questions questions and handing out descriptive literature literature of this fertile area to the north of us. The exhibits consist of photographs of homesteading, lumbering, stumping and clearing land, harvesting, samples of gold quartz from the famous Hollinger and Coniagas mines, silver ore from Cobalt, sheaves of wheat, barley, oats, excellent samples of flax, clover, grasses, apples, field peas, beans, vegetables, pumpkins squash, onions, timothy; black muck, pure clay, potatoes yielding 200 to 400 bags per acre, etc BQARD OF TRADE ACTIVE Souch--Patterson.

After u LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. »» Citizens and visitors to our town have not failed to notice and pass favorable comment* on the improved appearance of store fronts of many of our local merchants. merchants. This also has led to more attention attention being given to window dressing, which combined with live newspaper advertising makes the strongest and most successful sales forces that any , business can use. Customers do not fail to appreciate appreciate this twin-service which makes shopping shopping easy by patronizing such merchants. A window display that has drawn more than ordinary attention during the past two weeks is that of Mr. Chas. H. Haddy, Jeweler, one door west of Bank of Mont- Representative of C. P. R. was in town Thursday to secure an option on property i adjoining the west creek and north of their tracks as a site for their pumping station. President Bonnycastle of the Board of Trade was made aware of the facts and called a meeting at which the question of the town supplying water to the railway was discussed. A deputation was appointed to wait on the mayor and council the following night to urge the town officials to endeavor to make a contract contract with the railway for supplying water. Engineer Duncan was present at this meeting and stated they would require a contract based on .^100,000 gallons per day at a fixed price per annum, and over that amount a flat rate per 1,000 gallons. He understood the council would not supply them with water and they were therefore intending to btiild their own pumping plant. However, it was not too late to consider a proposition if they took immediate action. The Waterworks Committee met the C.P.R. engineers Saturday night and altho nothing definite was agreed on it is under stood if satisfactory arrangements are made the contract will amount to about $2000 per year. Thanks to the Board o Trade is due them if à contract is made as Engineer Duncan said Friday night, "If Dr. Bonnycastle hadn't called up last night (Thursday) we would have gone on serenely installing our plant as there is no time to lose." In the face of this, and also a letter to the council from Mr. Duncan Duncan asking possibilities of town supplying the C.P.R. with water which was written July 23rd, and not answered by the council council till Sept. 4th--6 weeks later, Councillor Barber intimated that "the council was not slow nor negligent in this matter, and the Mayor corroborated _ this by saying, saying, "the council has done its duty and done it well." Verily, actions speak louder than words, especially when elections elections are close at hand. More strength, power and cooperation to the members of the Board of Trade 1 , The choir of St. Johns' church held a fieasant social evening in the Parish Hall, Tuesday Nov. 18, in honor of Miss Armour, Armour, the retiring organist, who has given many years of faithful service to this church.

And although we know these feelings of gratitude and appreciation are fully shared by the whole congregation yet we feel that it is fitting that they should be expressed in some special way, by us as a choir, since we on account of our closer relation to you, are better able to realize how much you have had the true interests of the church at heart. We know too how often of late years you must have been at your post in the face of great difficulties^ and we wish to express our appreciation of the courage and devotion with which you have always always fulfilled your duties. AVe woulc ask you now: to accept this little gift as a. token of our affection and esteem and in memory of thi years during which we have worked together.

Miss Armour made a very suiteble reply thanking all for the beautiful beautiful gift and expressing the pleasure of her association with the members and her continued good wishes for the future work of the choir. The chairman added a few kindly words in appreciation of the splendid splendid service rendered by Miss Armour to the choir and church. A social time was then spent, the members engaging in lively lively contests until they repaired to the base^ ment where a supper was served which all fully enjoyed.

JOHN AND JOSEPH PRICE ? Address wanted of John Thomas and "The Old Time Ladies' Aid Meeting at Mohawk Cross-Roads" was put on by the ladies of St. Paul's Presbyterian church Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, the schoolroom being packed to the doors and everyone thoroly enjoying the program program so successfully presented by the ladies dressed in garments of last century styles. ' The scene is a parlor where the members of the Ladies' Aid are invited to hold their meeting. . The hostess Mrs. Green has two guests, Mrs. Kindly and Mrs. Lloyd Fitz-Hammond of Boston who are introduced to each of the membèrs as they arrive. After some conversation the President "who is usually late" arrives and the meeting opens in the usual women's women's way and the business is proceeded with. Great difficulty is found in keeping to business and discussions on various topics arise chiefly over simple matters. Many ridiculous objections are made,silly crititicisms offered and laughable local hits make the whole proceedings funny and very entertaining. The quaint costumes costumes of thé "old ladies" created lots of merriment, while the old fashioned melo- dian and furniture reminded one of the days of auld lang syne. All deserve credit for the presentation of this very amusing program. The members were served with dainty refreshments. The second part of the program included included solos by Mrs. C. À. Çawker "The Piper O' Dundee" and "Within a mile of Edinboro town"; Mr. Geo. C. Roy sang "Clementine" and "Silver Threads among the Gold" and Miss Marjone Rankin of Woodstock, "Bonnie Doon" and responded responded with "Happy Days" to an encore. Miss I. K. Smith, B A, gave areadmgon how the Ladies' Aid helped clear the church debt. All these numbers were splendidly rendered and received hearty applause. The accompanists w ere E. C. Senkler and Miss Ethel Mrs Brock. Amusement apd entertainment were happily blended at the Epworth League Monday evening in the Methodist schoolroom schoolroom when the Social Department was m charge and truly provided an uniaue and pleasing program. Old fashioned ideas prevailed. The young ladies and gentlemen gentlemen were costumed in-the attire of the long ago--some of them must have been typical of 100 years ago. The songs, choruses and dialogues were of the olde tyme" variety not only the melodies and themes but the refreshments were of the "ancient and popular" variety also. A splendid audience--large and enthusiastic --was present and thoroly enjoyed this kind of social evening so fragrant with the memories of days gone by. President Rd. Snowden occupied the chair and after a couple of hymns were sung, Pastor Kenny led in prayer. An old time chorus,"Tenting on the old camp ground" was sung by the boys, _ Mr. Root. Holmes taking the solo. A dialogue on " Doing Good " was well presented by Misses Lottie Horn, Lyra Trenouth, Meta Sprv and Rhoda Johns of the Hampton League who in their anxiety to sew for the needy allowed their conversation to drift until they reached a dangerous point that stopped their zeal in the good work. These young ladies deserve great credit for so willingly assisting on the progam "Why I Never Married" was given by 14 boys and girls each giving amusing and witty reasons why they were still on the "waiting list" but like all good story books ended happily, for all the girls cepted the proposals of the boys by answering answering " Yes" left the stage in pairs the applause of the audience. A sketch was given by.Messrs. D Douglas, and William and Clifford Wilkinson Wilkinson on the evils which some young men fall into was also presented and con tained a moral lesson to all who may be tempted to lead a fast life. James, the gentleman's servant, did his part exceedingly exceedingly well and created lots of laughter. Solos were sung bv Miss Ethel L. Van- Nest,"My Ain Folk," and "Put on your old grey bonnet", by Miss Florence AUm, the chirpy old couple representing Mirandy and Silas" the bride and groom of 50 years ago being Miss Ethel Morris and Mr. Alec Haddy, and they were good characters, too. , ■ . The old time choruses and plantation melodies sung by the girls and boys^ separately separately and in combination were nicely given and touched responsive chords m the hearts-of many who listened. The accompanists were Misses Florence Rickard, Lillie McLean and Florence ^ VanNest All the performers were in ancient costume many of theoutffis benig unique and very laugh-provokmg. Cx)n bread and butter, Boston baked beans and New England doughnuts were served at the close and a social hour was spent while all had many a hearty laugh as they shook hands with those repres?ntmgjthe the Mis- Rev.
