It appears that they moved here quite recently from an ndjoming municipality in whose care they should rightlully be. How- ever humane considerations prevent any thought of moving at present. Mr John Stewart. who, last spring, purchased Mr Peter Reid's properly in upper town, appealed to Council for relief from paying poll tax which had been asked of him. Since he had done noihing at. the Court of Revision, the council male helplesss, but advised him to appeal to the Judge's court later on to have his name entered on the list.

Council The REVIEW to New subscribers to January I916 for only Twenty-tive cents. a..t-uir-ei,efirtrar, 5102.01 125 M.2s That there is a disreputable contra- band trade in liquor being carried on in violation of the law is very evident from several occurrences here this summer. The latest instance of the kind has been brought to light by the vigilance of Con- stable Arrowsmith. While engaged in some of his street duties he observed the express waggon go by, driven by Chas. Chisiett, and two tsuspicious looking cases caught his eye. A trunk on the waggon he allowed to be delivered at a residence near the north- ern limits of the town and seeing the waggon returning with the casee, he stepped up and found they were stamp- ed with the names Gooderham and Sea- gram and contained bottles of whiskey. He at once took possession and ordered the stuff into custody. One case was addressed to Robert Campbell, one of the Hydro employees, then boarding at the Central, the other was addressed to Alex Crosbie, chaffeur tor the Hunter family at the Hedges. Both gentlemen deny ownership and all connection with the stuff and are natur- ally indignant that their names have been used in any such connection. The constable hopes to make some discovery that will lead to the exposure of the shipper and true consignee. Constable Captures The case against the Middaugh House arising from the discovery of saleable liquor under the floor of the kitchen a- bout a month ago, to come to trial Sat- urday, but the day previous the prop- rietor, before Magistrate Laidlaw, ack. nowledged the violation, and was flned 8300, which was paid and deposited to the credit of the town in the usual way. This makes a sum of $660.00 deposited by Mr. Laidlaw within a period of five or six weeks, and during thc year over 8700 has been deposited as fines for il. licit liquor trade or from parties being found drunk in town. This cannot con. tinue and if it does, we may rely on the vigilance of the authorities in stamping out these fruits of the liquor trattie be- fore many moons. With the co-opcrat- ion ot Community, Council, Courts and Constable, we may expect a clean town. Canada’s great National Exhibition at Toronto is now almost a thing of the past for another year and it pro- mises to exceed in attendance the mil- lion mark. We had the privilege of attending on Saturday last, Press day, which was a record breaker in num- here over 115,000 people being on the grounds. The products of peace and war have this year Intermingled to make the ex- hibition more interesting than ever before. On the war side the regiment of soldiers camping on the grounds.tbe exhibits of primitive flretustue, and the captured trophies of the present inter- national struggle with some of the re- salts of the use of death-dealing wea- pons are on the grounds to satisfy the interest and curiosity of the crowds. On the peace side the fruits of industry are displayed in greater abundance and variety than in any previous year. In the Government building, the models of British torpedo boat de- struyers, river monitors, submarines, and cruisers make an exceptionally tine exhibit, and lovers of detail in assemblv and construction mar ob- serve the graceful outlines of these models and the skilful workmanship retlected in their construction. The big Krupp gun, captured by the Brit.. ish on the battlefield in France, makes an imposing exhibit. Many other war trophies are also shown. The transportation building is noted for its wonderful display and variety of automobiles and in dearth of car- riages. showmg the present day trend. The horticultural building is one how- er of beauty. 1n the dairy building, we believe it was! we were impressed with the magnitude of the can display ~3b0ut10°.lX)0 dozen. and by illunun- I ated diagrams ot hens, buildings, etc.. showing the wrong and right methods of caringdor and marketing eggs from producer to city consumer. in the sev- eral steps. _ _ F Space forbids further mention other than the grand stand performance, which was scarcely up to the mark of former years. The acrobatics and lirtt. works are not as elaborate " usual but the musical ride ot it horsemen is still popular, and the march of the Allies. 1 each company in their country‘s uni- 1 form, with their national 'Mr played to their march. was the striking feature. ) The 86th battalion in drill was at pleats. ing spectacle.

The Directors of South Grey Agri-' cultural Society are making every et. fort to make the Fill Fair 8 big suc- cess. In these strenuous times when farmers are urged to do everything possible to increase the production of the farm for the benefit of themselves. the country and the Empire, it becomes the duty of everyone to make the Pair a decided success. The Board could- ently expects that especially the far- mers of the district will became mem- bers of the Society and exhibitors at the Fair. By doing so they will be doing good to the district in which they live, helping the Society in its work and reaping a benetit for them- selyes. The Directors give their labor and time freely for the good of agriculture in the district, and though not weary in well doing, they hope that eyery- body will come out and assist them in carrying out the work. Besides the axiicultural end of the Fair, they are providing a number of new features before the Grand Stand in the after- noon, which will be advertised in due time and a grand concert at night. The prize lists have been sent out and the Secretary will he in Durham on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons until the fair.
