Wellington Fair.

Only about three weeks remain until the
opening day of the Wellington Fair, and
we trust that each and every one will con-
tribute something toward making this, the
9th annual Fair, a grand success. The
Board have arranged very liberal pre-
miums on cattle, horses, sheep, swine,
poultry, implements, machinery, manufac-
lures Of all kinds, fruit flowers and farm
crops. In the speed class die purses are
sufficient to warrant a lively contest in
that direction. Several new features have
been added to the programme which win
attract, both for profit and amusement.
A sale of blooded stock win be made on
the third day of the Fair. "A grand enter
tainment will be given in . bicycle race,
many OF the best wheelmen having already
signified their intention to be present and
compete for the valuable prize offered to
the one who runs a mile in the shortest
space of time on the track. The managers
viii see that every visitor is made as COM
Portable as possible, and we hope that no
one will stay away, but that an will come
and see the grand entertainments given for
so little price. The premium list will be
mailed to any person by addressing. the
Secretary at Wellington. Entries may be
made one week before the Fair.

Thou Shalt Not Steal.

This eolnmandment wasi proclaimed
from the summit of Mount Sinai amidst
thnnderings and lightnings and all the
circumstances calculated to awe and i'm
press the human mind with Its importance.
The first violators of the law were the re-
bellious jews and, swift was, the visitation
of the penalty upon them. Aaron built up
golden calf from the jewelry borrowed
from the accommodating Egyptians just
previous to their exodus from the land of
milk and honey, and proclaimed feast to
the Lord. The oblation was rejected by
high heaven, and the moltkn calf, before
it was three days cid, was made into soup
and Israel's hosts were compelled to drink
it to appease the hot anger Of Moses. And
since the infant calf was sacrificed upon
Sinai's plains the continued breach of the
law has caused more trouble than the vio-
lation of any other commandment in the
decalogue. n
Z IF I were to classify the different grades
of thieves, realizing, as believe do, the
responsibilities of a patent preacher, 1
would say to you that 1 believe the mean
est, most cowardly, and the least likely to
be forgiven violators of this law, next to
the dead. beat, is the one that borrows and
never returns the article borrowed. 1t is
hot weather and you are tormented with
flies, and if you ever need clean conscien-
ces it is now. Then, finally and lastly. let
me say to you, examine your kitchens, eel
lars and woodsheds, and if You find Dor
rowed baskets, return them. When you
go after goods take basket of your own.
Remember that grocerymen have many
trials and perplexities, and that when ag-
grayated they have the same propensity to
swear that you do,
With much aove.for past favors, you are
invited to Continue to buy groceries at
the Hornets Nest-The last Epistle of
Timothy.
