Death of Roderick n v UUQV“HO In our report. of the unveiling. we inadvertently omitted to mention a wreath contributed by the Methodist ChurCh. The other churches were duly credited and how we happened to omit the Methodists we are un- able. to explain. In the 0rent bank :3. or tloral contributions it was no easy matter to get. the names of all. In some cases the cardswere missing or misplaced and we were unable to find the names of some and connect them with the proper floral offerings. \Ve regret that any contributors should be overlooked, but we did thei best we could under the circum- stances.

According to our time-honored custom when health and weather permits. we spent a couple of hours last Friday afternoon at Priceville Fair. The weather was fine and the exhibits in grain, fruit, vegetables and domestic and dairy products good. The outside display seemed lacking and the attendance did not appear to be as large as on some for_; mer occasions. The Swinton Park Pipe Bandfurnished music during the day. There were refreshment booths and games in abundance on Fthe midway and all Were apparently well patronized. There was a pack- ‘ed hall at night'to hear 'the Rupert Legate entertainers from Owen Sound. Quite a number from Dur- ham was in attendance, both neivs- papers being well represented. Miss McPhail ‘was present, but we saw no other parliamentary. aspirants. The Fair was opened in a rief speech by! n. u--u-- ‘ ' Place your name and address on the outside. of your letters and par- cels: This isnot compulsory, but is strongly recommended in your own interests, particularly for regis- tered articles.

An auto mix-up occurred on the I Provincial Higlmway about nine miles I suuth of here on Wednesday night 01' liast week that resulted in both cars in the mishap being pretty badly 1 damaged. Messrs. David Smith and J. L. Flarity, the latter from Owen 'l‘heywere coming north, and mt a Dodge car containing members’of the Guelph baseball team returning from playingat Owen Sound. The cars met in head-on collision just south of Orchard. It is alleged by both parties that the other fellow [had more than his proper share of :the road. The frames 'on both cars ‘ were sprung from the impact, wheels ' broken and other damage done. The next day the Ford was taken. to its home here at the Ford Garage, While , the,Dodge now reposes at, the‘Gray- Dort Garage.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1922 Mr. W. C. Chambers of Harriston, who has the eimtract for grading on the Provincial Highway north of here, informs us that he is having quite a lot of trouble with petty thieves around his camp and often misses tools and other parapherna-i lia. The latest to disappear are an5 anvil and a blacksmith forge. Mr. Chambers told us Monday that he had a reasonably good idea where they went to, and if they were not returned immediately he would put a detective on the job to recover them.
