THE Harvest Home Anniversary Entertainment at Varney was held in the Methodist church there on Mon- day night last. There was a crowded house in attendance, and Mr. Catton, who acted as chairman pronounced the order the best he ever saw at such a gathering. The program was good and well rendered in every particular. TWO weeks ago we announced the serious condition of Wilfrid Calder who underwent an operation for ap pendicitis. His case was a very criti- cal one from the first. and Dr. (a‘rroves, of Fergus, pronounced the chances ten to one against him. He seemed to‘ improve slowly for a time, however,' but other complications set in, and an absess formed. The poor boy was constantly growing weaker, and suc- cumbed under a second operation which was performed on Monday afâ€" ternoon. Much sympathy is felt for EMr. and Mrs. Calder in the sore trial they are enforced to endure. ON Monday afternoon about two o'clock Mr. Robert Renton, of Dro-j more, dropped dead very suddenly when engaged in doing some stone work on the farm of the late James Andrews. He came out that day to assist his brother and was at work only an hour or so when death occur- red. Deceased was fifty years of age, unmarried, and lived on the ’homestead. Besides his aged mother lhe leaves three brothers, James at l home, John, a blacksmith in Dromore, j \Villiam, a mason in this town. \Ve lunderstand he has not been well for 3some time. and heart failure is the l ‘ probable cause of his death. .

The fan. which is about fourteen feet from the grouml. needed repairing in some way and Mr. Harvey procured a. lad- der in order to ascend t0 the platform on which it is situated. \Vhen within one rung ol' the top. the ladder, a jointed one, came in two, precipita- ting him to the ground.

Many of them seem to Show but little inter- community ca importance of a Wholesome rivalry even the little country fair is entitled ! to its place. Egremont has every ‘ year apurely local Show, shorn entire- ly of all costly and questionable attrac-! tions, and yet few townships can put up as good an exhibit of What farmers ‘ and their wives and daughters produce _ in their homes. Indeed there are many of opinion, and we believe justly so. that the Egremont fair outstrips many of its near county competitors. . - It is even considered by some to bel ahead of the South Grey Fair, held! annually in this town. It may indeed he so, and if so. it would be contrary i to our principles to make any sort of denial. Under such circumstances, and in the face of such comparison it becomes the duty of the South Grey management to make a more strenu- ous effort to build up the character of the show, and exhibitors too should aim to outclass any township compet- _£ 1 all“ UV ‘1 v-“‘ itors.

Know The Artemesia Fair was held last Friday and like all the other fairs of the season so far they were favored with good weather. The attendance was large and the exhibits up to the standard of former years. The display of roots and vegetables was ahead of anything we saw this year, and they were there in abun- dance. The fruit exhibit was not very large but there were some excellent samples. Grains also were of good quality, and shown in considerable variety. There was a large exhibit of butter of excellent quality in boxes. cracks and tinnets. Mrs. Neil McKinnon was the happy! winner of first prize for home made bread as well as the winner of Mr. H. H. Miller’s special prize. Mrs. McKin- non has long been noted for her super- ior ability as a bread maker, and from actual test of the article itself we can readily believe the prize was justly lawarded. cent new pipes. was also a player. The little kilted girls from Acton were much admired for their dancing, but unfortunately the platform was so low that only few could see them. This was remedied, however, later on.

The horses, sheep, cattle and swine were strongly in evidence and consid- ered good by the general public. We had little opportunity to know what the government judge thought of the Show generally. The flOWer show was rather light. The ladies’ work good, but some of it appeared as though it had visited many ‘S a show in years gone by. It was with great regret that the pupils and friends of S. S. No. 3, Ben- tick, learned that their teacher, Miss Beulah Colling, intended severing her connection with the school to take an honorary course in the Victoria Uni- versity‘in Toronto. To show their appreciation of her efficient work and long suffering, a number of the pupils 1 gathered at her home and presented her with a handsome lady’s travelling companion and also a fountain pen, which were to be a remembrance of the time spent among them. They regretted that her term had been so short, but Wished her much success in her future studies. Miss Coiling feel- ing deeplyr touched accepted the gift as a remembrance and wished the pupils a very successful i'uture.â€"Com. '0): Thursday, Oct. 6th the S.
