Are we all prepared for the long, trying serâ€" snn‘? R'inter is the time when hardships are most felt. and to lay in a supply of .food, fuel and cloth- ing is one of the great essentials. The man with all these require- ments, or the wherewithal to pro- cure them, is indeed a happy man, under present conditions. People are too often thoughtless and thrift..â€" less in looking out for the future, and the hardships endured are of- ten of our 0 \n makin". W e should look ahead and obey the admonition to take thouci ht for the morrow. In health and strength, it is compara- tively easy to face conditions as they occur, but the man with little means is in a bad state when sick- ness overtakes him and he 'is deâ€" prived even for a short time of his earning power. 1 wridiws and worKers to ascertain their opinions 21's to what, is bet-t i'nr him to do.

GOOD EXHIBITS, BUT BAD WEATHER MARS ATTENDANCE The Priceville fair was held )n Thursday and Friday, but the bad weather interfered with the at- tendance. and affected the gate receipts. The exhibits were good and in many respects excellent. Some classes are pronounced by the local judges to be the best of any they attended this season. The DBODIQ of Priceville and Artemesia township take a deep interest in their annual fair, and always have a very creditable showing, but they can‘t control the weather. On Friday, the day was damp, dis- agreeable, and too cold for com.- fort, but under the circumstances, there was a good turn-out. The Church was packed, and a number had to stand during the whole entertainment. The meeting closed wih the National Anthem. Rev. Mr. Moyer, in a few remarks, at the close, tendered his heartfelt thanks to all for their presence, and particularly to those who took part in the program. Mr. Yiirs. accompanied by Miss Rim Irwin, on the piano. gave a fine rendering of “Annie Laurie”, with variations. on the violin. Mr. Yiirs is a good Violinist. and if he had proper freedom from toil, and had an opportunity to practice on the king of instruments, his fame would extend. and he would soon rank with the. best artists. is a grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. \V’helan. A most pleasing part of the evenâ€" ing’s entertainment was given by Miss,l"rq1_ihart, of Toronto, a trained eloeutionist. whose selections were listened to with interest by every member of the packed audience. Though it was understood that no encores would be given. the rule, in her case. was suspended. and her forced reappearance was demanded after every number. She is a you”: girl. far from being out of her teens, we fancy, and possesses a pleasing platform appearance. She Master Melvin Meyer, in his storv of stuttering Jimmy, as a. light en- tertainer was not. surpassed by any of them. and we are quite sure his number will be remembered when some 'of the others are forgotten.
