A pertinent piece of advice in the elrlumns of a late trade journal, ran ihtls:---However hard you may have worked during 1889, resolve to do a little better in 1890; It is not tt diffi- eult 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. We have noticed a few weak spots in ourselves and inspired by the above bit of advice, resolved to adopt it as oue of our rules for 1890 and faith- fully observe it for at least a week. We are trying to put stock in best pos- sible shape, to fill every gap and give every shelf, drawer and corner the *leanness 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. J. Grigg, Exeter. LOCAL JOTTINGES. —H.

Cow's hair, says an exchange, has never been highly valued as a .textile production, but though recently* in- ventions that almost valueless sub- stance niay take an important position among the natural productions of this -country. For generations it has play - cd an impurtant part in the mason's trade, and when mixed with lime, sand And water adds greatly to the mortar's sticking powers. But it is likely to ap- pear as a rival of wool, and cows will be cultivated for their hair as welt as for the present manifold reasons One of our exchanges very aptly de- 'dares that those business men who -daub up their letter -heads and envel- opes with a cheap rubber stem p.instead of doing the square thing by the print- er and themselves too, make nothing by it. 'Wholesale dealers and all large firms look with suspicion upon these nasty little daubs, and the man or con- cern who perpetrates them is rated ac- cordingly.

Since the last issue of the ADVOCATE death has been a very frequent visitor in our midst. On Sunday morning last the angel of death visited the resi- dence of Mr. William Whitlock and bore his spirit away to those bright and happy shores. He had been ailing for some weeks with inflamation of the lungs until Wednesday last when he had a paralytic stroke, from the effects of which he never recovered. He has been a resident of this section for a number of years and was very much respected by all who knew him. He was one of the oldest members of Lebanon Forest Lodge, No. 133, A. F. & A. M. He was laid to rest in the Exeter cemetery on. Tuesday last the ceme- tery being conducted by the Masonic body. The surviving friends have the sympathy of the entireneighborhood in their hours of sad trial and affliction. It is also our sad duty to place on record the death of Mrs. William Balkwiil,Lon- donRoad. Deceased had not been feeling well for some time past, although not confined to her bed. She, together with her husband, retired for the night feel- ing no worse than usual until about ten o'clock. She became sick at the stomach and Dr. Cowen was despatched for and on arriving found that she was unconscious and nothing could be done to save her life. She was most highly respected by all who knew her, and the funeral on Tuesday was very largely attended. She Ieayes behind a large family and sorrowing husband tomourn her departure. The relatives and friends have the entire sympathy of the neighborhood in their trial and affliction. We also regret to announce the death of Girtrude Violet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs: L Hardy, which sad nand, melan• choly event occurred on 17th inst. She was ailing for some time with that dreaded disease, consumption. She was buried' -yesterday and the remains were followed by a large concourse. of. sor- rowing orrowing friends. This is the third daughter that has been a victim to this fell destroyer. Wanted.
