Every £armer Will be interested to know that Exeter is now in a double Sense, a market town, and despite the. forethought of many, one rid=ailing in value that of many other places.. The new market is a convenience that a few thought a neeessity, and at the polls found to their pleasure these thoughts but the expression of many. Farmers and. their w iv es from a dis toned of front ten to fifteen miles have sinee come with their stuff to prove their satisfarction, and our own mer- chants with astonishing energy have eassed thornselves as buyers, and in company with the regular dealers are booming it to an extent undreamt of: All deserved braise to them, and may our worthy Board of Tracie long have their aid. to such an extent in other schemes, whieh may be deemed desir- able to adyoeate and place in success- iu1 operation, There is, however, an element still wanting to make tlremer- ket what it should and might be, and itis the assistance of the ladies of our town. Their patronage, and naught will be left to be desired, and whilst we ask them as a matter of village patriotism to take this spot under their wing, we aright suggest that the pleas ure of buying their roll and dozen un- odored by aught save the morning breeze, will go some distance to repay for a seeming inconvenience. With the close pursuing autumn season and the • elosing summer, potatoes,cabbages and vegetables of all kinds, a spring chick- en or duck' will add their attraction to this resort, and the needs of all may be supplied at one time without loss to the gains of our village merchants. And whilst. exchanging material things with our country friends and crossing their hands with a "bit o' the siiler, a mutual andpleasant ex- change can be made of more material expressions of „good will and kindness, and a cement thus formed of the most valuable kind to connect and retain the generous support of our country side.

Mr. William Dearing, of Stephen,has erected a fine toned dinner bell on his kitchen. It was presented to him by Mr. Isaac Carling, of this village. The fall wheat harvest has commenc- ed and. every prospect that the yield will be a good one. The hay has been well saved and the crop was an abun- dant one. Forty years ago a man placed $6 in a Cincinnati savings bank, but forgot all about it until the other .day, when he happened to want a new celluloid ,colar. He called, identified himself .and received --well, he was boothed into the street as an imposter, Mr. Butler, formerly of the Stratford Times, has started a new paper in the 'Classic city, and calls it the Star. It .str'ikes out with his olcl-time vigor. We .suppose thereason the name Sun was ;given is because of the dark and be- nighted condition in which that burgh has been existing. AMassae1iussetts wifeis heart -broken because the courts wot.'t give her a divorce. Her grounds were that her husband refused to pass her the bread at the supper table, yet ran over to a neighbor's and helped to put out a fire, "thus showing that he loved others better than his own: wife." A lawyer a who would take such a cast, ought lawyer he stood up for mules to kick at. If you want good tinware and at right pr"icecall on Will Folland. Sign of Big Elephant- .

The weeds will soon be full' of seed which will be scattered by the wind over good productive soil, in- suring a good crop for next year. The scheme of voting for "the hand- sornest girl," "the most popular man," etc., is something to be avoided. A Now Yorker- publishes instances where such voting has led to eleven murders in eighteen months. While passing the farm of Messrs. John and Fin. Hunter,. of Usborne, the other day, we gathered a few head of wheat, and on eountin„ the number of grains in each head they averaged seventy six grains to the head. The wheat is plump and a good sample. Always read the advertisements in your newspaper. 'At least glance over them. They are full of information, and every day'new changes of infor- mation occur. Always read the "ads" and you will know what is going on in the business world. Under the laws of Michigan if you should lie about a horse's age you could be taken up for swindling. Under the same laws you can take a dollar from a person,. lie in the most outrageous manner and still be safe from punish- ment. You have simply to call yourself a fortune-teller.

The Exeter public school had more pu- pils pass- than any other two sehools in the Inspectorate, having no less than, nineteen pass: This is a good showing for Mr-. Tom, the principal. "Ohl Cherry time is a merry time," we children used to say. And so it• is here and cherries- in their attractive red- coats,' hang in tempting bunches in many gardens. It is no wonder they have to be watched; for with the robins be day- and the boys by night, few would remain to replenish the pre serve jars. Business has been very dull in town for the last cpuple of weeks. The far- mers are all busy with the hay harvest which will be about finished this week. The crop is good, Some of the farmers have commenced cutting their wheat, and they find that the yield will be rather better than it has been for sev- eral' years. Spring crops are also good; altogether the crops around Exeter are above the average. In the spring fruit promised a very heavy crop, but it is doubtful if there. will be even a quarter of what was ex- pected. This is due to a blight that has struck the trees, known as lire black; were touched by it the branches seem burned. It is said by horticul- turists that this will work its way through the tree and ultimately des- troy it, unless checked, and the only Way to do this is to at once .prune ori the burned or dead branches.

A 1Qoveltb . The French are certainly great on novel ideas. A new clock contains a novel application of a magnet: ' The clock is shaped like a tambourine,lwith: a circle of flowers painted on its head. Around the circle two bees crawl, the larger one requiring twelve hours to complete its circuit. While the smaller one makes it every hour. Different flowers• represent the hours, and the bees, which are of iron, are moved by the magnets behind the head of the tambourine. At this season of the year when ex- cursions are so plentiful, and summer: holidays are in vogue, visitors from all over are seeking their friends, person- als of the travelling public and visitors are always interesting news, and it is a well known fact that the keen watch- ful eye of our faithful reporter is at all times, and under all circumstances,' on the watch out for the news, still it is natural that there will occasionally be a news item that may get over looked. To avoid this, we soli:;it the kind co- operation and assistance of our friends to help us catch every passing event while on wing. Corne and assist us' One of thebeauties and charms of an editor's life is his deadheading it on all occasions. No one who has never feasted on the sweets of that bliss can begin to take in the glory of its happi ness. He gives $100 worth of adver- tising for a railroad, gets a pass for a year, rides $25 worth, and then is look- ed upon as a deadhead, or a half -blown dead -head:' He, puffs a concert troupe $10 worth and gets $1 in compliment- ardes, and is thus passed free. If the hall is crowded he is begrudged the room he occupies, for if his compiiment- aries were paying: tickets the troupe would be so much more in pocket, He blows and puf;'s a church festival to any desired extent, and does the pastor's printing' at half a itcs, and rarely gets a ""thank you" for it. It goes as part of his duty as an editor. He does more work gratuitously for the town and community than all the rest of the pop- ulation - r p ulation put together, and gets cursed for it all; while in many instances where a man who donates` a few dollars to a First of Judy celebration, base ball club or church is gratefully re- membered, Oh, it is a sweet thing to be an editor! He pass "free" you know. A.uotherSwindle. Here is another swindle which sharp- ers are working on farmers. A strang- er calls to sell a fanning -mill. During his conversation and a walk about the farm with the farmer, he issure to see a horse that just suits him, ' and offers to pay a small sum to secure the bar- gain. If accepted he asks for a receipt for the money deposited,st'iting that he will go to the bank and return in a day or two for the animal. Such re- ceipt turns out later in the bank' as a note against the farmer. Masonic Exeurgion • On Friday of next week, • Au4 • 1st, the annual Masonic excursion wil take place.

Key, P. G. C:, of St. Catharines, delivered a pow erful sermon. The church ' was comfortably filled, a number coming from a distance.
