A pertinent piece of advieo in the columns of it late trade journal, ran thus: -However hard you may have worked during 1889, resolve to do a little better in 1890. It is nota diffi- cult matter to see when better and more work might have been done if one cares to scrutinize closely, even though the vision be defective and pov- erty to great to purchase a pair of specks. Vire have noticed a few weak spots in ourselves and inspired by the ;above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it f as one of our rules for 1890 and faith- fully observe it for at least a week. Wo are trying to put stock: in best pos- ,eible shape, to fill every gap and give in every shelf, drawer cl 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 eiupport. J. Grigg, Exeter. LOCAL JOTTINGS.

Readers of THE ADVOCATE who are either school teachers or pupils attend- ing school will find in another an artic- le which will be of service to them. It is a list of the duties in the various sub- jects which will be given at the entran- ce examination to the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes held in July next. It is predicted by good authority that the year 1890 will be the most prosperous in the history of our coun- try. That will be welcome news to all our readers. Now let every one en- deavor to do his share of the work, and also obtain .his share of the good for. tune. What has become of our Board of Trade? Is it not time they were hav- ing a meeting and discuss some of those important questions which they laid before the council in 1889. Conte wake up and let there be a stir. The people have placed the council there and they are, no doubt, awaiting some action on the part of the Board of Trade. Mr. Thos Dearing wishes to inform the public that he will be at his store only on Monday and Saturday of each week for the disposal of goods, and the balance of the week will travel through- out the country to supply ,the wants of his many customers.

Possibly you may never have visit- ed the great general store of Brump- ton Bros., James Pickard's old stand, Exeter.

The annual meeting of the County Orange Lodge will convene here on Tuesday next, commencing at 11 o'clock. Every delegate is requested to be present,as business of importance will be bronght before the meeting. We Rave Them. There are but three classes of men in. every community, the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive. The first two have little or no regard for the newspaper and its influence, and read it simply to see "what is going on," but who could fold their arms and see it die with the utmost complacency. leaving 'the progressive class the only real suff- erers. The retrograde and stationary classes of every community are gener- allythe critics of the newspapers, and, as Steele says: "Of all mortals the critic is the silliest ;for by injuring himself to examine everything, whether of conse- quence or not,he never looks upon any- thing but with a design of passing sent- ence unon it." A Mathematical Wonder. Some person of a mathematical turn of mind has discovered that the multi- plication of 987654321, which you will notice are simply the figures 1 to 9 inclusive reversed, by 45 gives 4, 44 44 44, 44, 45. Reversing the order of the digits and multiplying 123456789 .by 45 we get a result equally curious --5, 555,555,505.- If we take 123456789 as the multiplicand, and interchanging the figures of 45 take 54, the same re- versed, as the multipier, the r'esultis 6, 666,666,606.�t rn 0 Rc urn „ to the multi plicand 987654321, and taking 54, as the Multiplier again, we get 53,333,- 338,354, all 3's except the first and last figures, which together rend 54 -the multiplier. Taking the same multipli- eaud and 27, the helf of 54, as the nitill- 5 tl tier i s p , the product is 2b 6G6,6GG,bG7, all O's except the first and last ,figures. which- together read 27, the multiplier. interchanging the order of the res 27,'.end using 72 'instead as the Multiplier, and 9$7654321 as themulti- plicand, we. get :a,sa product 71,1'11,111 112, all l's except the first and lest fig, ures, which together read 72, thug,. mul- tiplier. ultiplier. rersonalMention Mr. Geo.

Concert The concert, under the auspices of the Sons of England Benevolent Soci ety, given by the Chautauqua Orches- tra Company, of Toronto, under the management of•Mr. J. M. "Depew, in Drew's Opera House on'Friday evening was a decided success. Thee orchestra is composed of some •tw.e1ve .Instru- ments,and the music they produce is simply enchanting. As a vocalist, Mrs. Murray Dickson has a beautiful, clear, powerful voice and pleasing'°'manner, and several of her selections were en- cored. Her only fault is that her artic- ulation is scarcely distinct ;endu h for those who; wish to follow the sentiment of the song as well asthe music. Miss MacGillivray has a sprightly' pleasant appearance andis a,good elocutionist,, while Mr. Ramsay, as a 'comic 'singer, brought down the house -every time,al- though he was under:ditiicuities•suffer= ing from a bad cold.
