After an absence of nearly twoi’ weeks from active participation in; the work of the paper we resume? our duties. Last week’s issue which was well and ably conducted by In-i Spector Campbell explains the cause; of our forced absence, and it IS hard-fi 1y necessary for us to say anything: more. Out of the fullness of full] hearts we have been the recipient of1 much kindness on all sides, our. friends here and' in our old Flesher- ton home as well as in the whole country round showing real sym- pathy in our sad bereavement. For the past ten years we have been looking forward anxiously to the time when our household affairs would come under the management of our now departed daughter. The time had almost come, but the cold hand of death intercepted our plans and the only thing that can now be done is to fight on for a few years longer, and to hope as we did in the past that further misfortunes may not befall us. The verykind obit- uary notices of laSt week, both in this paper and in the Review were no exaggerations of the true char- acter of a bright young life so sud- denly cut off. Our sincere thanks are tendered to all who tried to minister to us in our sorrow, yet the most intense sympathy is only fruit- less in filling the aching void. Durham, Oct. i, 1903.

MORLOCK’S. Excellent: display of millinery goods. Everything conceivable that goes to make up a perfect fashion display is on view at the well-known establishment of S. F. Morlock’s. Instead of the sombre heavy tams so usually worn in the cold season we are to have brightness and lightness and delicate tint. The collection of millinery on view is such as one scarcely meets with outside the world’s great fashion centres. Greens, ruby and browns are to be the prevailing shades. A great deal of fur is used, mink and squirrel pre- dominating With white rabbit and moleskins for light hats. Lace, to give hats a trahsparent eflect, is much used, while in suit hats and ready-to-wear hats felt. chenille and taffeta are the principal components. The flat iron design (narrow and long) is very conspicuous. The old high “ Gainsboro’ ” is in evidence and the “ Victoria Poke ” in chenille, feather and malines. The size of the hats varies greatly, as they run from small to large. Flowers, velvet fol- iage, velvet poppies in orange and green shades, also wings in delicate hues are shown on many of the new designs. The autumn opening of the above establishment was the most elaborate affair in its history. Hundreds of visitors from far and near thronged their show rooms to get a glimpse of the magnificent display that was made for the occasion and which de- lighted the feminine heart. Among the many pretty designs for autumn the Torpedo hat seems to be the most admired. The Beaver hat is in vogue again, also the Camel’s hair felt shapes after a long absence, and both are attracting a lot of attention. The children have not been forgotten. as a large display was made for them. which includes all that is fashionable in headgear. The leading shades are green and brown, with white in evi- dence again. A very becoming shape was of white and black out felt and chenille, which certainly gives a rich appearance. gracefully over back of bat and one drooping softly on the hair at side. Another was black velvet Shirred with facing of many folds of black net. two large feathers caught with long steel buckle finishes the top and another long plume falls on the hair. A child’s flop of castor stitched felt trimmed with large bow of white and amber silk was very pretty. Reference was made last week to some points in which our fair could be improved. It was not the inten- tion to cast any reflection upon any member of the directorate or upon it! as a a hole but to call attention to the need of a change in the system with! which the fairb is managed. It will be readily conceded that a change in some respects is extremely desirable in the interest of the fair itself as well as in the interest of public mor- als. Unless some change for the better is made our fair must event- ually go to pieces The methods of twenty years ago or of ten years ago will not do to-day and the sooner this is realized and acted upon the better for all concerned. Itis an old saying that a divided authority is no author ity at all and that seems to be the case in our fair management. To secure unity of action it is not neco essary to change the executive or even the personnel of the directorate. Instead of having each Director act on his own initiative, as seems to be the present method. it is only neces- sary for the Directorate or for the membership at large to appoint a General Manager who can be held responsible for the administration of the Whole concern. This manager ‘ must be a thoroughly capable and live 'manâ€"a man who understands how to organize all the interests involved ]and howto-carry out his plans to a spccpssful issue. He shpws he gives} full wtherity to deal with the day’ s prpgramme including the sports. the. admissien Of all. caterersto the pp ! petites o! the visiters. all hawhers peddle“ of wheterer kind He i should also have authority to prohib I it and expel from the grounds if nec essary all games for swindling an innocent public and fakirs who do not live up to their agreement made when seeking admission. In this way only as in other larger fairs throughout the country could the system be unified and the fair con- ducted with greatest profit to the members, and :0 the community at large. The subject is worthy of consideration and discussion before ‘the next Annual Meeting of the Soc ietyiso that such action may be taken as will secure the continuance of the South Grey Agricultural Society’ a oxhibiti on at its highest point of eficiency.

The slander suit of Beckett vs Mc-] Kay arising out of statements made by the defendant on the public plat- form about a year ago was disposed of before Chief Justice Meredith in Owen Sound last week. The plaintifl complained that Mr. McKay in his convention speech last December as. serted that the plaintiff supplied drugged liquor to voters before the election in May previous. The de- fendant denied the charge and claim- ed that his words were to the effect that the plaintiff and others had supplied liquor to voters and kept them in the Conservative Committee rooms during the night in question. The evidence was very connicting and showed considerable political bias. The chief Justice in addressing the‘ Jury summed up the case and warned the Jurors to free themselves entirely from any political feelings before deliberating upon a question of this kind. ‘His closing remarks are worthy of all praise and will be commended by every true Canadian. no matter what his political leanings may be. They were as follows :-â€"- “Gentlemen of the jury, I do not like to think that any of you will be influenced by political considerations. You andI represent an institution necessary for upholding what is best in society. It is your duty to judge and mine to instruct you in the law. Sometimes it happens that a jury come into the box and practically forswear themselves because of the effect that their decision may have on one political party or the other. It is a sad day for this country if this sort of thing shall prevail. Juries and courts of law should be above this. We hear complaints of the low level to which politics have been carried. Don’ t let us ca1ry this spirit into this court of law. Take the case, consider it faiily, and do justice as between man and man. Let not you1 political sympathies turn you one hair’s breath from the path of duty.” If Catarrh is Your Trouble.

It is not the work, but the worry, That wrinkles the smooth, fair face, That blends gray hair with the dusky, And robs the form of its grace; That dims the lustre and sparkle Of eyes that were once so bright, But now are heavy and troubled, With a weary. deSpondent light. It is not the work, but the worry, That drives all sleep away, As we toss and turn and wonder About the cares of the day. Do we think of the hands’ hard labor, Or the steps of the tired feet? Ah! no, but we plan and ponder How to make both ends meet. In is not: the werk. but the worry, That makes us sober and sad. That makes us narrow and sordid. When we should be cheery and glad. There’s a shadow before the sunlight, And even a cloud in the blue, The scent of the rose is tainted. The notes of the song are untrue. It is not the work, but the worry, That makes the world grow old, That numbers the years of its child- ren Ere half their story is toid; That weakens their faith in heaven And the wisdom of God’s great plan, Ah I ’tis not the work, but the worry That breaks the heart of man.

However, such things should not happen An editor ought to know what would suit each individual or he ought to take each item before it is published and let the person whom it concerns censor it. An editor has plenty of time to do this, as all he has to do is 'to hunt news and clean rollers. set type. clean his floor, pen short items and bustle advertising, press the paper, fold them and mail them. write wrappers. talk to Visitors and distribute type, read proofs, cor- rect mistakes, split wood (w hen there is any to Split). build the fires, hunt the scissors, dodge the bill, dun de- linquents, take cussings and tell the subscribers he needs money; there are only a few of the things a news- paper man has to contend with, and yet he should not make mistakes in his paper while attending to such minor details. at the same time living on oxtail soup. lettuce, prunes, sun- shine, wind pudding and imagination for dessert.” Neuralgla’s Agony.
