The number of connnunicants eclipsed any similar service in the history of the church and exceeded June by about fifteen. MR. JOHN CLARK, auctioneer for the County nf Grey, has decided to leave the fixing of all sale dates to this ofiice. This does not interfere with sale bills being,r printed elsewhere, but before making arrangements we must invariably be consulted. The object is to avoid confliction of dates. tf. , ABOUT fifty new members were :de- ed to the Presbyterian church on Sun- day last and in the Baptist church there were five immersed.

OCTOBER 17, 1907. PERSONAL The Directors of the Public Library met. on Monday night to discuss ways and means to make a little money as} the funds are getting low. It was thought that a concert about Thanks- giving night would he a good thing to have, but on more matured thought the idea was abandoned. Cheap rail- way rates about that time is likely to take many out of town, and, more-i over, many who remain will follow' their usual custom of g(_)ing to the! woods fora days sport and will not! feel like going to a Concert at night. i It was finally decided to put on a, number of entertainments during the: winter months in which local talent' will be used, the first of the series to: take place in the course of a fewl weeks. \Ve have a number of young! people 111 town possessed of variousf talents and the Directors felt confident ‘ that all so gifted would lend a helping hand for the benefit of so deserving an institution. Many will be called on some of these days, and asked to take part, and we feel quite certain that Very few will refuse their help. After all when we compare the talent we bring in from outside with our own local talent we find that our own Lyoung people measure up well, and ;those who are not too critical feel a epardonable pride in the material we haVe at home. It is further proposed itoo that only a small fee shall be F charged at each entertaixtnnent, and it 3is to be hoped that each will be pat- ‘ronized by a crowded house. The object to get money without much outlay and return it all to the citizens ;1n goodlitcratnre and more comfort- lable accomodathm in the Reading Room. \Ve appeal to the young people to \‘ohmleer a most cheerful assistance in furnishing the program and again we appeal to the people to come out and help with their presence and their means.
