BROCK
Monument To Be U0veiled
With Ceremonies

Brockville, Ont, Aug. ia monu-
ment in honor of the memory OF Gen.
eral Sir Isaac Brock, who was in
command of the Canadian forces
against the Americans In the war OF
1912, was unveiled in this city today
with interesting but modest ceremon.
les. The local chapter Of the Daugh.
ters of the Empire, to whose efforts
the erection Of the monument, is due
was In charge of the ceremonies. The
principal address was delivered by
Col. Samuel Hughes, the Canadian
minister of militia and defence.
rhe date for the unveiling of the
memorial was appropriately chosen
since Il will be Just one hundred
years tomorrow since the surrender
of Detroit. with which event the name
of General Brock is most closely as
sociated in American history.
General Brock was born on the Is
land of Currency in 1869 and had had
a brilliant military career in the Brit
ish service before he was sent to
Canada. Nearly two years before the
outbreak of the war between Great
Britain and the United States he real
lied that tha conflict could not be
averted. and he began to put the prov
ince in a condition to meet hostilities
AS soon as war was declared he ad
vanced upon Detroit.
General Hull, the American com
mander, had retired to Detroit after
brief attempt at an invasion OF
Canada. The war department had
made no adequate provision for the
defense of Detroit, and upon the ap
pearance of General Brock the Ameri
can commander surrendered his en-
tire army. with all its cannon, arms
and stores. With the surrender OF
Detroit the whole of Michigan fell
into the hands of the British.
General Brock was made knight
of the Bath for ais victory at Detroit
but he survived his hon0rs less thar
two months. An American force ol
5000 gathered on the Niagara from
tier after the fall of Detroit, and there
General Brock gave battle near thu
middle of October. He was piercet
by three balls while leading his troops
and died where he fell. An imposing
memorial column surmounted by {
statue OF the general marks the place
of his death on Queenstown heights

MOOSE
Team Won From The Grove
City Team On Sunday

One bad inning for the Grove City
base ball team was all that was re-
quired to give the local Moose team
sufficient number of runs to win
in the game played at Riverside park
Sunday afternoon. The final count
was to and all the Moose runs
came across in the third inning when
the visiting in.field went to pieces
and made several rank errors. This,
in addition 20 several safe hits, en-.
abled the locals to win the game In
a single round.
1.-The battery work for the Grove
City club was excellent and the game
would have been hard fought one

inning. Bowden did great work In
the box for the Moose and was held
up behind the plate by Popham's vet.

game was not SO bad because the
visitors fought hard to cut down the
lead and entertained hopes Of vic.

COUNTY FAIR
VIII Be Held As Usual This
Year
Without Reference To Ques.
tioD Of LeasehoId

Editor .Banher--The article publish.
ed in your valuable paper Saturday,
Aug. IL, In reference to the county
commissioners making levy for the
purpose Of encouraging agricultural
fairs, ETC., and purporting to be At.
torney General Hogans ruling on the
question, seems to have given rise in
the minds Of some as to whether or
not Knox county will hold a fair this
year. A number of people have al.
ready asked me IL 1t means that we
will not have fair.
Now, only desire to say this: The
ruling, or decision, was made for Har.
rison county, and we infer from the
reading Of the opinion the sort of
lease Harrison county has, but I
would like to know how It can apply
to Knox county when the attorney
general has never seen, and knows
nothing of, the terms of the lease OF
the Knox county society?
Now, let me say in conclusion that
this opionion, or any other opinion,
will NOT prevent Knox county from
having the best fair she ever held on
Sept. "a, 25, 26 and %, 1912.

JOIN DEMAND FOR
PURE FABRICS


Detroit. Mich, Aug. 19-The resolu-
ton demanding pure fabric law,
which was passed by the recent ma
tional convention of dyers and clean
ers In st. LOUIS, will receive a strong
Endorsement from the annual conven-
ton of the Laundrymen's National
association here this week. The argu'
ment is used that the laundrymen
or the cleaner is blamed for deterior-
alton OF goods when in fact the quick
wearing out Of the so-called pure silks
or linens is due to inferior material.
The laundrymen will join in the re-
guest to Congress asking that body
to pass law compelling the manu-
facturers to stamp their goods plain
ly, telling whether they are of pure or
adulterated materials.
