A"pertinent piece of advice in the columns of a late trade journal, ran thus: -However hard you may have worked during 1889, resolve to do a little better in 1890. It is not a difi cult matter to see when better and more work might have, been done i one cares to scrutinize closely, eve though the vision be defective and pov erty to great to purchase a pair o specks. We have noticed a few weal -spots in ourselves and inspired by th above bit of advice, resolved to adopt i ..as one of our rules for 1890 and faith. full* observe it for at least a week We -are trying to put stock in best pos •sible-,shape, to fill every gap and v .every shelf, drawer and corner th .cleannessand neatness of a new pia Our Book, Stationery, Small ware a Wrapping paper departments are good shape and Fancy goods eve .ready to -supply the demands of Wed ‘ding, Partin; and other friendly gifts 'Thepatrons of both our Jobbing and 'Retail trade will kindly accept ou heartfelt gratitude for their past libera :support. f Il e t e. e a. nil In r • • r Jr. Grigg, Exeter. .4OCAL JOTTINGS.

First class foreign talent has been secured. Fur- ther :particulars next week. The north mail on the London,Huron and Bruce was half an hour late last night, owing to some breakages occur- ing to the Engine at Clinton. Mr. John Crawford and Henry Seber from Ainsworth Iowa are at present at the Commercial Hotel for the purpose of purchasing. heavy Draught stallions. Mr. Samuel Sweet, leaves on Monday next, to attend the supreme Grand Lodge of Sons of England Benevolent Society, And will be absent during .the week. To complete our fyle for last month we regnire.a paper of our issue of 16th Jany. We will be much obliged if some of ouraeaders who has one will forward it. Mr. Thomas Cave and family who left here a short time ago to perman- ently reside lin Detroit, returned here on Friday, and we understand that the family will return and they will reside here in future. Mr. Brampton, of the Old Established House, left on Saturday to purchase a large stock of Goods,which will be sent here immediately. Great Bargains will be offered in the future at the old Established. We have just rceeived a large sup- ply of Envelopes, Note Heads, Letter Heads, Bill Heads &e, which we will, dispose oil all printed at greatly re- duced rates. Gbve .us a call and ex-_' amine our prices and work. Mr. John Hawkshaw sold his hand- some black trotting stallion to Messrs Crawford and Seber,of Ainoworth,Iowa, for a handsome ,sum. They also pur- chased some very fine Canadian draught horses and expect to ship them', to -day. We wereleased to notice that Mr.' W. D. Stanly, of GI•anton,Tp. Cleat: of Biddulph, was appointed one of the., county auditors of Middlesex by the newly elected Warden, at the inaugur- al meeting of the county council on: 'Tuesday last, . Mr. Stanley has ,dis- charged the duties of this office se' er- al times before: • The Exetermill grist rnn1. leas sold by 1ublic,auction on Tuesday last to 111r. W. B. Browne, of Simcoe, for the sum of 45,000.00. We understand that he mil put in all the latest improvements and make it second to alone in Western Ontario. In the meantime the patrons will be accomu;dated by Mi.r i i Bova ,who has leen in. t change, for some sears. This will be a v4lnabie' acquisitiofa to our town, and will prove a boon to the muni farming community g' m ty at large. The other property that was offered kr sale was not sold, as the creditors thinking it WAS to much of a s. erifiaa' at the priGe.s bug. Local Ninzrods say that the noiseless and smokeless powder which has re- Contly been :discovered will be a great advantage to hunters over the powder at present in use, that with the aid of the new powder an entire flock of ducks or other game may be decimated, one at a time,without disturbing others in the sante vicinity. It is with feelings of regret that we announce the death of Miss Mary: Ann Vale. She has been ailing for over a year past with consumption. She WI1S well respected and beloved by all who knew her. The funeral ta'ces place to- day (Thursday) from the residence of her father, Mr. Joh, Vale,Exeter North, at two o'clock p. m. The man who says it does no good to advertise would be convinced to the contrary by seeing his goods published as a lot of fourth-class shoddy. How such a man would rush to the printer's office with blood in his eye and two revolvers to shoot the editor for libel. Yet the man who fails to advertise gen• orally finds plenty of time to fight the dies which continually torment him as he has nothing to do. We will consider it a favor if our correspondents will send news budgets each week, and as often as practicable. It not only assists us in making Tnn ADVOCATE a welcome weekly visitor to each home, but it places the respective localities in an advantageous light before the public. We would like to hear from every locality in the county, and shall be pleased to furnish all nec- essary stationary, envelopes, etc, On Tuesday evening last several of the young citizens of this village, re. - paired to the residence of Mr. John Prowse, of Hay Towaislhip,as a surprise party and report of having spent a a very enjoyable time in dancing and other harmless amusements. Judging from the appearance of some of those present that they not only looked worn. out but as if they needed their eyes propped open. The other day we were shown a pho- tograph by Mr -Jas. Westcott, which was taken in California, showing a combined Reaper and thrashing Ma- chine in operation. The machine is drawn by twenty-six horses and driven by Mr. Jessie Westcott son of Mr. Jas. Westcott, of Usborne, The machine cuts and thrashes about forty acres of of grain. The width of the cut is eight een feet. Mr. Westcott informs us that the crops in the Sacremento valley are excellent, in fact the best they have had for some years. Edison, it is said, has a new novelty on which he is working -a clock to talk the time. Instead of a blank sound it will say "one," "two," etc., at the proper hours. For an alarm it will say, in so many words, "Get upl" in a stentorian and commanding voice. If the person thus ordered does not get up -what then? If the clock can say "Get up," it ought to be able to say much stronger language. If that fails to rouse the sleeper, a combined claw and Bogardus - kicker attachment ought to be perfect- ed that could be depended on to "turn the rascals out" in short order. -Mr. Thos. Ramsay, of Litchfield Minn., is visiting his parents and re- latives in Exeter, -EXETER ADVOCATE. -If Tom had run across to Paynes- ville previous to his trip home he would have had a'"pleasant surprise in finding no less than five old Exeterites including ourself, who have not for- gotten :their birthplace, and who oftim- es have a five minutes gossip by pair- ing up all the old bachelors and old maids, in what we consider the most thriving town (Exeter) in the famous county of Huron. Call on your way back Tom. Paynesville (Minn.) News. Dan, it is time that you and the other four Exeter Bachelors out there should return and marry up some of our old maids, if we have so many. Shipments. Mr. Jas. Oke shipped one carload of cattle to Montreal this week. -Messrs: Wood Bros. shipped one carload of cat- tle to Montreal. Religious Services Religious services will be conducted by Mr. George Henley, of London, on Sunday next, afternoon and evening, commencing at the hours of 2.30 and 6.30 p, in. in Drew's . Hall. Everybody is invited to attend. A collection will be taken up at both services. Bring along your bibles. Advocate Callers. Among the callers at the Advocate office on Tuesday, were John Forrence, Reeve of Stanley; Oscar Wade, Grand Bend; James Clarke,Hensall;John Neil, Centralia; F. Davis, sr. and F. Davis jr., Centralia; William Gamble and Will Wade, Grand Bend; E. Floody Clinton; M. Dupee, Bayfield; Joseph Foster, Var- na- James Wells, Saltford; and many: others: The Public Health. It is doubtful if ever before in the town's history 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 ofthe public health may be assigned to a large extent to the prevailing influen- za epidemic, there is not . the slightest doubt that a great deal of it has been brought on by the sudden and severe changes' in the temperature. Slight colds are contracted and neglected and before the person is aware it asumesa' more serious nature. Nearly every house in town has contributed its vie - time, and it would be difficult to aprox- imate the number under the weather. The number of ebildren afflicted may be inin.gined from the fact that fully twenty per cent of the pupils in attend- ance at the Public School were absent. Fortunately the majority of the eases ate of a mild type and are generally got rid of in a few day. Cousel,l Proceedings' The council met in .the Town Hall on Saturday evening at i3 o'clock -1), m.

That Dog and Trap Case. It was amusing to seR;,.the ; interest displayed by many of the citizens of Exeter over petty police court :squab- bles. Our worthy J. P., Mr. Snell, was greeted with a large and fashionable audience on Monday last,' Ac•hen he placed upon the .boards,a. novel little legal drama in whicl figured as com- plainant Mr. Joseph Gill, of,Hay Town- ship, and Charles Holtzman of the same place, defendant. Mr: ,Gill, by Mr. Dickson, his counsel, charged the de- fendant, Holtzman, with „the grave criminality of nhalieiolisly injuring two wildcat traps, the property of com piainant, the value of which was no less than $3, and prayed that his wor- ship should find the charge true, and reimburse him for the damage done the traps, and if the wounded and offended law demanded it to mulct Mr. Holtz- man in a fine and costs, Holtzman Holtzman on the contrary, by Mr. Collins his counsel, denied the charge of malice and pleaded to justify the damage on the ground that it was cera n'itted to re- lease a dog which he represented had become entraped in both traps. After hearing both sides and all that could be said all day long His worship decided that Mr. Gill should be: ,paid for his traps, and that the law should be vin- dicated by Mr. Holtzman,having a fine and costs to the amount of $10.60, Personal Mention.
