Sir James Whitney, premier of' Ontario, died at his home, 113 St. George street, at noon 'on Friday, following a cerebral hemorrhage. The attack was sudden and un-l expected both by his medical ad-? visers and those who have been in close touch with him for the past few weeks. The news of his pass- ing came to his associates in the midst of a council session, with the same shock as to the province at large. Ten minutes after the word of his dangerous turn . had been given to the cabinet about the council board, one of the min- isters was in the room with him. but he was several minutes too late. There was no rally from the attack and no time granted either to summon friends or medical as- sistance. On Monday, the ' body of the late beloved premier lay in state in the Legislative chamber at Toronto, Sir James being On- tario’s first pregnier to die in harn- éés.

' In our reference last Week to the patriotic concert'in Varnev we wrote from memory, havinag mis- laid the program, and inadvert- antly omitted the names of some of the entertainers. Misses Mead and Kerr gave an excellent ren- dering of the “British Grenadiers” ‘nd M‘r. Mansfield Leeson furnish- ed a couple of selections on the phonograph. Every number Was good and the young entertainers are all to be congratulated. By practice they will soon gain great- er confidence in themselves and feel easier under such conditions. Reginald Pinkerton, who was committed to Owen Sound iail on or about the 25th of July, and who broke loose from the town trap on the night before he was to be de-f livered up, and has since been atl fugitive from justice, was re-ar- rested in Markdale a few days; ago, and on Tuesday was taken to Owen Sound, where he will spend the next three months. On! his way there he was under the1 chaperonage of County Constable Pettigrew. We regret the voung lad’s conduct is deserving of such punishment and sincerely hope his short period of confinement may cause a vast ,moral improvement and a- better and more useful life.

Mildred Walker, entertainer Ruby Linlg. dancer, and Burt Lloyd comedian, were the artists, and to say the big crowd enjoyed their offerings is putting it mildly. As usual, the fall fair concert was a big success, and everyone who at- tended seemed Well satisfied. The proceeds amounted to over $130. Anothar feature of the hall that gave it a touch of beauty and of business was the fine display made by some of our merchants and dealers. These little, advertising schemes have a beneficial tenden- cv and the explanations of expert. salesmen are invariably sure to inâ€" terest the prospective purchaser, and often effect a sale. These exhibition days should be more regarded as thebusiness man’s op- portunity to explain and talk up the claracter of his goods. LoOk. dor instance, at the exhibits at the larger exhibitions where, perhaps, not an article is offered for sale. We wish to impress the value of showing ’and explaining goods when the people stop to listen to the points of excellence one arti- cle may possess over another in- tended to do the same class of work. We purposely aviod any specific reference to. the displaypf any individual, but in throwing out a few general hints we may be a benefit to many. The Durham Band was in at tendance during the afternoon and were liberal in giving of the best they had. We might mention for the encouragement of the boys that we casually heard a number of complimentary remarks. So far as We saw, the day passed off very well. and if roughneés or rowdyism existed in any part of the town. we saw nor heard noth- ing of it.

We were of the opinion, however, that in some former years the receipts were larger. The horse races were good and keenly contested; the' baseball match between Markdale and Durâ€" ham. which was won, by the former 13 to 7, was interesting and more keenly contested than _ the score would indicate, the Markdale team getting eight of their runs in the first inning. After this,‘ the locals tightened up, and though they couldn’t win, scored more runs than their opponents in ev- ery remaining inning. The march past of the Girl Guides was also a pleasing feature.

Much praise was given. for the neat and artistic appearance of the church and many were highly gratified to learn it would soon be free of debt. The musical part of the program was well sustained by a couple of Well rendered solos by Mr. Giles, a couple by Mr. Grant McComb a duet by Mr. and Mrs. Giles and a solo each by Miss Zeta Black and Miss Lily Walker. Every number of the program was listened to attentively and evidently Verv much appreciated. Whether wise or otherwise the chairman, owing to the lengthy program, expressed it as a wish thatno encores or votes of thanks should be permitted. and none were insisted on. though all were deserving (.1 t3 $43 and at the appointed time the bride was gracefully given away by her uncle, Mr. Hug‘h Rose, and the knot was tied by Rev. Mr. Whaley, pastor of the Presbyterian» church. The bride, who was un- atten-ded, was gracefully attired in silk crepe, her going away suit being of navy blue, with hat to match. Manly beautiful and. cost- ly presents show the esteem in which the bride Was held by her friends here, and in Toronto, Owen Sound and other places where she was well'known.
