TO OUR PATRONS.
A pertinent piece of advice in the
-columns of a late trade journal, ran
thus: ---.However hard you may have
worked.during 1.889, resolve to do a
little better in 1890. It is not a diffi-
cult smatter to see when bettor, .and
pare work might have been clone if
one cares to scrutinise closely, even
though the vision be defective and pov-
erty to great to purchase a, pair of
specks. We have noticed a few weak
spots in ourselves and inspired by the
above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it
'as one of our rules for 1$90 and faith-
fully observe it for at least a week.
We ,are trying to put stool: in best pos-
sible shape, to fill every gap and give
every shelf, drawer and corner the
cleanness and neatness of a new pin.
Our Book, Stationery, Small ware and
Wrapping paper departments are in
good shape and Fancy goods ever
ready to supply the demands of Wed-
ding, Parting and other friendly gifts.
The patrons of both our Jobbing and
Retail trade will' kindly accept our
heartfelt gratitude for their past liberal
.support.

Messrs. Crossley an d Hunter,the well-
known Eyangelists, who have been
holding blood and fire meetings in the
-several churches throughout London,
delivered their farewell addresses on
Sunday last, and leave for Montreal
this week. 'Their conversions aro said
to be many:
The Rcv, Mr. Martin, Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, was unable to
deliver his usual sermon on Sunday
last owin g to the severe pain from the ex
traction of.a tooth. In the morning
the vacancy was ably filled by Mr'
Lewis Braund, in the evening no ser-
vice was held.
The weather during the past couple
of weeks has been such that little or no
business has been done. Everything is
as flat as the proverbial pancake, and
the corners of business men's mouths

goad fall of snow would work a mita-'

Wile: Mr, Rd. Davis,of this towll,was
visiting Mr. Chas Minae,, of Stephen,
his attention was called by the host
who requested hila to verify the proof
of his discovery of the foot print of a
large hear which took a northernly
direction. Mr. Davis supposes that it
will make winter quarters in the "Zur-
ich swamp. Now is the time for our
Exeter sports to have a good run.
It is with feelings of deep regret we
chronicle the death of Mr. Charles Neno,
of Lambeth, formerly of this plaee, who
passed away on Thursday last to that
peaceful shore of paradise where sor-
row is no more. He has for the . past
two years been ailing from that dread-
ed disease consumption. He was well
and favorably known in our village
and no doubt our many readers will be
sorry to learn of his death.
The word "news" was not, as many
suppose, derived from the adjective
new,but from the fact that many years
ago it was customary to put at the
head of the periodical publications of
the day the inital:letters of the compass
thus:
N

Signifying that the matter contained
therein was from the four quarters of
the globe, From the letters came the
word "news."
We have at hand a Floral Guide

second to none, and surpasses anything
we have ever seen in this line. It is

Now that the season for shooting
quail and partridge has expired,sports-
men hope to see the law protecting
them fully enforced. There are plenty
of these line birds left for breeding pur-
poses and if the farmers and others on
whose property they are will promptly
inform on anyone shooting them they
will be doing good to themselves and
also to all those who care to keep them
from being exterminated. The fine
for shooting eachbird or distroying
each egg' is from $5 to $25, the whole
of which will be paid to any person. in-
forming of the violation of the law and
it is to be hoped that any person break-
ing the law in this respect will be at
once informed on and fined the full.

New Oats, new Wheat, new Potatoes
new Plants and new Bulbs, are offered
in the 1890 Catalogue of the Steel Bros.
Co.,Toronto. No need to send to the
U. S. for seeds when such a work is is-
sued here, for it beats them all. It is
the largest, the handsomest, the most
modern, and the fullest in matter and
illustrations of any we have yet seen.

such enterprise, energy and high stand-
ing. They offer the Banner oats, that
yields 96 bushels per acre in York

new clover for the North West, &c., &c.

pay every amateur, gardener, florist

Signs of Spring..
It is always the endeavor of the sev-
eral newspapers to give the first intim-
ation that Spring is at hand by the
statement that "the harbings of spring
have arrived and that the first Robin
of the season has been seen, &c" The
ADVOCATE will not be behind' this 'sea-
son in. acquainting its readers with
what is seen here. As a sure sign that
spring will soon be here and that Gen-
eral William Butler's weather predict
ions will be verified, we need only
chronicle the fact that Monday a man
came to town wearing a little stave hat,"
and who appeared intirely' unconsious
that such headgear had been "called
in." There's no doubt of .it, Spring is
coning.
The Public Health.
It is doubtful if ever before in the
town'shistory has so much sickness
prevailed as at the present time. It is
astonishing the large number of per-
sons, old and young, that are affected;
more or less seriously: Although the
cause of this deplorable state of the.
public health may be assigned to a
large extent the prevailiug influenza
epidemic, there is not the slightest
doubt that a great deal of it has been,
brought on by the sudden and severe
Shipments. changes in the temperature. Slight
Mr. Jas: Oke ski ped one, carr load "o -.golds are contracted and neglected and
before the person is aware it assumes
a more serious nature. Nearly every
house in town has contributed its ' vic-
tims, and it would be difficult to aprox-
imate the number under the weather.
The number of children afficted may
be imagined fined fr ni th
o e fact that fully
thirty per cent .of,the pupils in attend-
ance at:the Public School are absent.
Fortunately the majority of the cases
are of a mild type and are generally
got rid of in a few days: •

La Grippe.
Like other :towns, Exeter has its
portion of la grippe. On making .in-
gniries„wefind between 150 and 200
who have had the disease; and some
pretty severe cases, but mostly of a
mild turn.. It has no respect of ' per-
sons, young. and old, rich and poor, all
kinds, and creeds, tongues and nation
alities, callings and professions, preach-
ers doctors, lawyers, merchants,•mech-
anics, tradesman and laborers, men

a yawning time of it.

Our town was somewhat startled on
Saturday morning last from the sad
and melancholy news which reached
hese from Shelburne, it being the sud
den death of a well and favorable
known young man in the person of
Harry Wilkins formerly of this place,
who was found dead in his lied at the
Royal Hotel, from whence the sad news
derived, and where he was under: the
employ of Mr.'J: N. Hooper, formerly of
this place also, for a number: of yearn
Previous to his removal there, it will
be well remembered by our many read-
ers, that he for a number of years was
in the employ of Mr. Jas. Pickard as
hardware clerk, and was well liked by
all who had dealings with him- He
was, the eldest son of Mr- W. E. Wilkins,
of Sarnia, once a resident of this place
