Campbell, J. Stuart, C. E. \Veeks and Dr. Grant. Mr. John Camp- bell (Fairview) offered the society 85.00 as special prize to stimulate young farmers in the line of raising better stock, the prize for no less than two jerseys, three cattle and six sheep. He has made the same ofi'er to Mariposa. His own stock will not compete. The winner of this prize at first show held will not be elegible for the other show. This offer was accept- ed with a vote of thanks to Mr. Campbell for his generosity. A committee was ‘appointed to ask a grant from the Wood- ville and Eldon councils. .\’o family tickets will be sold this year. A good many of the most promising young business men in the cities or Cana- da and the northern states are natives of Lindsay. Capable of filling larger fields of usefulness than their spheres in this town afforded, they have gone to greater centres taking with them the business ability and integrity of character developed in the little town that they will always remem- ber as home. In the past few days two more have gone. They are Mr. Frank Britton who for five years has been head book-keeper at the Rathburn offices here and Mr. Howard Porter whose co-operation with his father in the old-established book store that bears their name, has ministered in a considerable measure to its success. Mr. Britten resigned his position here to accepta much more rofitable one in the city of Vancouver .0. Frank was among the most exemplary young m‘ n of this town with regard both to business ability and general department. The favor in which he was held by his employ- er and fellow employees was only an index of how he was regarded throuszhout the town. A measure of that favor was shown a couple of days before he left when Manager G. H. M. Baker presented him with a handsome dressing case on behalf of himself and the staff. Mr Porter has secured a good position with a Montreal firm, Birks and Son, and left on Thursday to begin his duties. On the evening previous he was tendered a. supper at Morton’s by a few intimate friends. A number of toasts were res- ponded to andavery enjoyable evening spent. Mr. Porter’s going will deprive our musical and social circles of a valuable member. We wish both boys success. Eldon Agricultural Society Two Presentations H elp Wanted 10.00
