For some weeks Tae TIMES has, among other things, been agitating for the es- tablishment of a creamery or cheese factory in Exeter. Our efforts have not been in vain. Through our worthy reeve, who acted upon of oursuggestion at once, Mr. J. Hannah of Seaforth was brought to town and the matter talked over, with the re- sult that Mr. Hannah takes a favorable view of the matter and will likely establish a creamery here as an early date, and put in a separator. By the means of a separa- tor, the farmer's milk is separated from the cream at the efactory, and the skim milk returned to ;the farm. This saves trouble and the results are better in every respect. Mr. Hannah expresses the belief that a creamery in Exeter would pay well, the country around being adapted for such, and if the farmers would only apply every means, and supply abundance of milk, they would realize much larger pro- fits than by giving their sole attention to cropping their land. It is hoped that Mr. Hannah will receive every encouragement from the farming community. ereeaweveeneweeenewee BARGAINS, BAitthI, BARGAINS We will close out l a .number of lines of Goods , during the next TEN DAYS ol our Great Saleat prices that will astonish everybody.

Notwithstanding the absence of snow, busineas in Exeter hes been good the past week, and things generally have boomed. Every day the streets have been thronged with farmera'rigs. The bargains given by the Exeter merchants in every line are great drawine cards. I want my customers to remember my Rubber and Overshoe bargains a splen- did Xmas present for son or daughter, husband or wife, and they can be pur- chased at a small figure at Clarke's for cash. A well-known pen manufacturer offers THE Testes a dollar's worth of pens in payment for $6 worth of advertising. THE Teams has not yet conte to the low ebb of accepting such offers,and thoea papers that have accepted surely place little value on their adver.leing space. The Two Orphans Comedy Co, played in the Opera House on Monday and Tues- day evenings to fair audiences, In case they should again visit Exeter they will be greeted with a much larger house, as they are a first-class troupe, and merited more liberal patronage. A Charity Concert was given in the Opera House last evening. The attend- ance was very large, and a splendid pro• gram was rendered by local talent. The proceeds was large and will be distributed among the deserving poor of the town this week by the various churches. The Grist MW. It was mentioned last week that Exeter' was to have two grist snips. At time of going to press matters were settled and. work had been begun towards the erection of both. But time bas wrought a change ; and on Thursday an offer was made to pur. chase the site of the Exeter Milling Co., A price could not be agreed upon, and the matter was left to arbitration, with the result that Messra Rollins & Williams have acquired the old Pickard site, including the residence, for the sum of 81,800 ; so that after all Exeter is to have but one mill -indeed, quite a sufficiency. As to the location of the new mill, it :is not yet known, but very likely it will be built on the site before chosen, on the Hooper pro- perty, opposite the town hall. The names of the two gentlemen, Messrs Rollins & Williams, is sufficient guarantee that we will have one of the best mills in the prov- ince, run on a Large scale, and in a satis- factory manner to the farming community. With Mr. Rollins'characteristic enterprise, and Mr Williams',experienoe and business tact, we have two men that will make the milling business a marked success in Exeter.

On Wednesday last e. travelling lecturer visited. Harriston public school and re- quested the attention of the pupils for an hour, when the teacher, Mr, D. C. Dor- ranee, formerly of Centralia, ejected him from the school room as he appeared to have no authority to enter the school for that purpose.

Although the issue was over 3,000, we were soon without a single copy, 11 was sent to distant friends to give them an idea of what Exeter can do in the newspaper lige.

We wish to firmly press upon the minds of those having occasion to do so the nee esaity of roistering births, marriages and deaths. Persona neglecting to comply with this law are liable to a fine of $20. Had it not been for the forethought of the town olerk, a number of residents would last year have each paid this amount into. the provincial treasury.

On Saturday afternoon Messrs, A John- ston and Geo. Snell were drawing hay. Mr Johnston was building the load, and Mr. Snell was Corking the hay.
