They are as follows: "1; 'Are you in favor of the con- tinuance of the Ontario Temperance Act?" "2. Are you in favor of the sale as a beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in. sealed packages under Gov-~ ernment Control 7" Only one of these questions is to be answered, otherwise the ballot will be spoiled.

Croskery, Agricultural Representative, Uxbridge, Ont BA IDEAL WEATHER FOR LINDSAY FAIR Merchants Have Attractive Exhibits Lindsay Fair which was held from the 17th to the 20th inst, enjoyed perfect weather, and as a result there was a record attendance of visitors at thié well known show. Lindsay is in the centre of a rich agricultural district, and usually well patronized by the farmers. In many respects it partakes more of the nature of the Toronto Exhibi- tion than does the ordinary fair in a town the size of Lindsay. For ex- ample, many of the shows that were on the midway at Toronto also show- ed at Lindsay, while in addition there was a full fledged circus on grounds. These attractions, together with a fine card of horse racing and other amusements made up a most attract- ive menu. A feature sof the Lindsay show, which i§ not found in Oshawa is the display by local merchants of their goods. All the leading firms in the town exhibited clothing, men's and women's; rugs, boots and shoes, hard- ware, etc, etc. These displays add to the interest of the show and help to attract visitors. --Reformer. yaa PETERBORO'S TURN Down in Peterboro a few weeks ago, a man blew into the city and posed as a great medical man called the doctors of\the community to- gether and told them of his great plans for hospitals and research work in the Lift Lock City and incidently practitioners. It was later found that he was an-escaped lunatic. Last night the doctors of Peterboro and district met at the Empress Hotel, evidently to count their losses and relate their respective experiences in being hoax- ed. ~Oshawa Reformer. Lh A -- x CHIMES ARRIVE IN MONTREAL The chimes for the new St. George's Church, of Oshawa, have arrived in Montreal from England and will be secured some "loans" from his fellow the marsh land and many other im- provements, including possibly the re- placing of the present pier with a modern concrete pier. The estimated cost of these improvements will be $150,000. E With the present expenditure of $50.000 for the breakwater, this will mean that well over $200,000 will be expended on the Oshawa Harbour during this year and next. Preliminary work before undertak- ing harbour improvements will be considerable, and large quantities of cement blocks are required, which will be made on the scene of the work, by local workmen, and set into place, most of it will be done during the winter months. The contractor has fifteen months to complete the work dating from yesterday, which means that Oshawa harbour will be completed before the close, of navigation next year, and during the open season some sections will be ready for use. ~--Oshawa Telegram. enn) (srr SOMETHING NEW Ever since there were orchards, green apples and small boys there has been war between the owners of the orchards and the youthful marauders. Owners have tried cross dogs, barbed wire fences, police protection and what not. An Oshawa citizen has devised a new devise for protect- ing a particularly fine pear tree, He connected a long garden hose to the kitchen tap and then ran it down into the garden with the nozzle train- ed on the tree. A watchful eye in the house sees a small boy up the tree. A tap is turned in the kitchen, the lad receives a rude and sudden shower of cold water and gets the fright of his life. ~--Oshawa Reformer. -- I ---- .
