On the evg. May 24 there will be given
in Drew's hall one of the best concerts
ever presented to an audience in Exeter.
The committee have secured at great ex -
Tense the very best foreign talent procur-
able and promise a pleasant evening to all
who attend. Miss Coleman, of Newcastle,
ie a talented elocutionist, and has selected
suitable numbers for the occasion. Her
appearance in Exeter will be the last in
Canada. for in a few days she leaves for
New York, where she has a season of en-
gagements. Her name on the program
assures success for the convert. Aliss
Match, of Loudon, is also a talentedyoung
lady, being a great favorite as a soloist in
that city. She is one of the finest singers
in Ontario, and has sung as many as four
times in a year in one town. The Press
clippings, of which she has many, testify
to her efficiency as a soloist. Mr. Skinner
is also a vocalist of note, and to hear him
is to appreciate real singing. A rich, full
voice, with an imposing appearance on the
stage, has won for him a wide name and
an enviable reputation. Besides these
three there will appear local talent, all of
whom will form a program among the best
ever presented in the Opera House. See
programs and procure your reserved seat
tickets early at Lutz's drug store.

As Exeter has had very little experience
in the frontage tax system of making local
improvements the following answer given
by the Municipal World in answer to the
question what is meant by "local improve-
ments" in 53 Vic. Cap. 55, 1, an Act re-
specting exemptions from Municipal as-
sessments, may be of interest: "Such
public improvements as benefit the lands
in a particular locality, the cost or expense
of the construction of which is to be paid
and borne only by the owners of the lands
benefited thereby; such cost sr expense
being assessed and levied against said
lands according to the amount of benefit
derived by each parcel of land from the
making of such improvements. Public
works coming under the head of local im-
provements are of various kinds. We
refer our correspondent, for example, to
section 612 et seq. of the Municipal Act,
and to the drainage clauses of the same
act."

They Aro Going To Stay,
Last week we made mention of the
Ver:ty ag'l works being about to leave
town, in the event of their not getting
a switch or spur from the railway sta-
tion into their foundry. ' As soon as
this was made knownReeve Bawden
promptly called a public meeting for
Monday evg. last to discuss matters, The
town hall was filled to the doors and
great interest was taken. Mr. R. H.
Verity explained the situation quite
clearly, stating that they had gone into
the•illassey-T3arris firm for the purpose
of manufacturing all the plows required
by thetn, and that Mr. Massey would
have the works moved to Woodstock or
Toronto if a switch could not be ]aid
into the works. He also intimated that
the business would be increased one
hundred per cent, and the number of
employes doubled; as well as additional
large buildiegs would have to be built at
once, anti paid-up stock increased to
$100,000. Mr. Verity's explanation
was so clear and favorable that all in the
hall were disposed to favor the placing
of a switch. Speeches were made by
members of the council, besides Dr.
Rollins, Dr. Lutz, L. I3. Dickson, R. H.
Collins, John Grigg, 17. E. Huston, and
Revs. Fatt, Russell and McDonagh, all
of which were enthusiastically in favor
of the project. At the,,,olose of the
meeting the following resolution was
unanimously carried :
"Resolved, that whereas an offer has been
made by the President of the Massey -Harris
Manufacturing Co. in conjunction with an
offer from the members of the Verity Plow
Works, to continue at the Village of Exeter.
