Now that we have demonstrated what can be done let us not be satisfied but start right ahead now for the 1929 Fair, Something must be done about an Exhibition Building and if we are really serious we must go right after it, Due notice will be given regard- ing the Annual General Meeting which will be held as soon as possible, and at which we want to see every person holding a membership ticket. This would mean an attendance of 192 peo- ple, and if others who are interested will come we might have a good meet. ing.

The get to gether supper of the Agr. icultural Society proved to be a great success, In fact, so succes ful that some of the people were dissatisfied. At the request of the farmers, the thirty o'clock and anybody who was tea and a half dozen of pan- cakes at six o'clock did not feel so badly. It is rather impossible to manage affairs of this kind with our meagre facilities much better than had been done In order to make it a success at all, } there had to be several ticket sellers and it was impossible until the last minute to know how well these Gris ets sellers had done. They had ex- ceeded themselves and about one hundred and seventy.five tickets had been sold against a seating cap city of one hundred and five. Consequently there had to be two tables and some of the late people or the self sacrificing | people were pretty hungry when their turn came, Mr Hiram Monty had somewhat an. ticipated the crowd and there was plenty io eat for everybody. Mr Monty is to be commended cpon two things: first--his optimism, znd secondly --his ability to keep food hot. The meal was excellent, If anything of the sort occurrs again, we have the assurance that Mr Monty can look after it, Grace was said promptly at eight | thirty o'clock, O Canada sung and) those with first placed looked extrem. ely happy, and those with second ex. tremely envious, The Whiteley Orchestra gave excel lent music during the dinner and dur- ing the programme. Mrs Rivers sang two lovely solos and, the rest of the time was devoted to speeches. The President, Mr Alfred Pitt, in his opening remarks challenged the fath- ers of the town to put 2 by-law before the people for a skating and curling ring and incidently an agricaitural fair building for the farmers of the district," His marks met with some applause because the people are beginning to think that the time has arrived to do something for the six or seven hundred young people of the town and something in return for the support of the town by the farmers. Dr Wood, acting Mayor, seemed to think that if Mr Pitt held any kind of office, he might not be so free with his remarks, but being kind of irrespons- ible, he could say a lot of things that he might not otherwise have said This is possibly true, in fact, it is always true, AAA ---- supper was not called until eight} fortunate enough to have had a cup of | During the rest of the evening, a Class I--Horses, Heavy Draft-- See, 1.--J.
