care of his customers. Mr.. Proctor will

A heavy down pour on Thursday
again stopped the threshing and made a
vacancy in the profits of the machine
owners in season that has heretofore
been none too favorable. In drive to
St. Thomas this week we observed that
large portion, more than half, of the
grain still stands in shock and stack un-
threshed, with, for the time of the year,
but little blowing done. Ifit should
freeze up early farm work will be far be-
hind.
Three cases of scarlet fever at Hamil-
ton have been reported to DR.. Harris as

Harris says it is quite probable that other
! sporadic cases may occur from the same
cause and that everybody should take
extreme care, and consult physician at
the earliest moment if any suspicious
symptoms appear.
