This Society held its show at the city of Rocklyn on Friday last, 8th inst. The weather was all could be desired, and a large crowd was in at- tendance. This is one of the best township fairs ia the district, and the one this year was no exception to the rule. Every class was well re- presented and close competition was a result in many classes. The -energetic and ccurleous 83cretary, Mr J, L. Wilson, appeared to be the rght man in the right place. EARLY CLOSING. As may be seen by our advertising .colamns this week, our merchants have decided toclose their respective places of business at 7 o'clock p. m. during the fall and winter as well as the summer months, except on Saturday nights. It is needlebs to say that, in reference to this movement the clerks all say "Amen." The conclusion came to is that all the business can be done before 7 o'clock as well as not, without any particular inconvenience to any. and at a great saving of exponce in light and fuel, and besides they (the mer- chants) did not feel disposed to pro- vide a supply of spittoons necessary ior the accommodation of loafers, who are the chief frequenters of stores after the above hour. We hope all may endeavor to govern tLemselyes in accordance with this movement and thus assist in carrying It into effect. EAST GREY CONSERVATIVE COJSVENTION.

Jones. i^haQ Iw was dediy^ tlie oiumimoaa. ^fniea, 3. Stswart, 4 8«smrL fins. Bev. Sam. Jones, the Southern re vlvalist, is now in Toronto and will re main there for some three weeks. He is drawing crowds to hear him, and can interest a congregation for a whole hour atatimethatwouldgrowimpatient under ordinary circumstances at40min ntes. The following are some of his aphotsms. â€" Shc^v me a Church that does not be lievft in revivals and I will diow you a ChuEch that looks like an abandoned cemetery. Stagnation is the last station this side of damnation. It is an abnormal state of titiings that makes revivals necessary. Beligionis royalty to God, andthe right holiness is a hundred cents in the doUM. It is doing the square thing every time â-  you do anything. Fun is the next best thing to religion. Character is builded by living in per- fect harmony with God. Rebgion is harmony. Religion is the setting of the ten commandments to music in your soul. It is m%hty hard to tDr sense for a whole heitt and not bore some greenhorn. It takeless sense to criticize than it does tO'do anything else in the world. If you t^ me what youlove and what you hate I vrill tell you your character. If you quit sinning yon will doubting. If a man believes he is right the next thing he vrants is courage that will dare to do right. A man is not a sinner because he is aniafidl: he is an infidl because he is a snmer. The greatest blessing that ever crow- ned an American or a Canadian church is a "game" preacher that is not afraid of maior devil. If the;devil ever puts hisfootupon a wo- man onG» she never gets up any more. I'm a Methodist just like I'ma Jones. I wag bom both, and am no more res- ponsible for one than I amfot the other. -The fact that I' m Methodist demon stratea the fact that I mast be religious Now, the Catholic Chn«ch has a Pop^ the Presbyterian Chun* has its starch its dignity, and its education; the Bsptiat Church has its, water. But we poor Methodists ha^ant ^ot teligi^ we haven't got a thing in the world to ran on. lUketosoethecHWkfaBoesin «» chmA paatoes takenadffiwn.
