T. of 'r's, picniced at Grand Bend Park last Thursday. A general good time is reported, Boating, swim- ming and other aquatic sports were the order of the day, Those who have to buy cherries or other small fruits should place their orders at once, as the crop is repotted to be small. The storm of Friday last was very destruction to small fruits and garden vegetables. We will ask our readers to bear with us this week also for a few weeks to come, if the ADVOCATE has not its usu- al grist of local news, Besides a lot of local job work ahead we are more than rushed just at the present, worldng on several different voter's lists, hence our local columns may seem somewhat neglected. To day is the glorious 12th, Now is time for those in town hay- ing ems and horses to lay in a winter supply of hay. ' • The lady folks of the Central Hetet picniced at Grand Bend on Friday last. They report a very pleasant time Do not fail to notice the picture gal- lery in Gidloy & Son's south show win- dow. Some very, beautiful pictures are exhibited there. The road commissioners are busily engaged throughout the vicinity and country laying new gravel. Our Main St. is receiving a new coat. At the Royal's Templars' picnic held last Thursday at Grand Bend Miss Clara Cudmore while descending a, steep embankment unfortunately dis- located her knee joint. Building operations are very quite in Exeter this summer, but there seems to enough odd jobs around to keep all of our carpenters and bricklayers out of idleness. We would like to see sev- eral good substantial buildings in course of erection by fall. It was currently reported and stated by us in our last issue that hellebore had been used in mistake for pepper in the chicken pie eaten by the people who were poisoned at Grand Bend, July 2nd. We have since been creditably informed that such is not the case and that the poisoning is still a mystery, Do You Know ?

A small swarm of honey bees belong- ing to Mr. John Treble pitched in a tree in front of Mrs. Thomas' residence Fri- day. They were afterwards hived by the owner. The Lucan Record which has for the past eighteen months been conducted by Mr. N. H. Bowden, has been pur- chased by Mr. J. H. Benner, late of Marmoa. He has taken possession and will make his editorial bow this week. We wish the new proprietor every suc- cess. The remains of the late Richard Whiting were brought here Monday from Mildmay and interred in the Ex- eter cemetery after the arrival of the evening train. Mr. Whiting was a former resident of Dashwood having resided there about 16 years ago. He was a few days over 58 years of age. About the heaviest rain storm of the year visited this vicinity last Friday. A stream of water full 8 inches deep flowed down Main street, so great was the rain fall. A very high wind pre- vailed at the time ard one end of G. G. Johnston's awning was blown down which in falling went through two arge lights of glass with a crash. Those who have tried the experiment affirm that a large sponge hung in the room at night or in the day time, if it can be behind a convenient screen,and kept constantly wet, will greatly assist in keeping the room cool; or a cloth hung in the window over the blind will cool the room as if a shower had fallen. All know how fresh water sprinkled on the pavement in front of all the windows and doors will freshen the hot dry air. This is something to remember when the hot nights are up- on us. It is now high moon of the wild rose season. The blossoms began to show themselves two weeks ago or more,and the last belated pink petal will not flut- ter to earth until frosty nights are close upon us. Meanwhile there are now thousands falling into ruin'other thous. ands in full splendor of pink and gold, and yet other thousands in all stages of the unopen bud. The wild rose loves low, damp sunny meadows, but the flowers seem to attain greater size where they are partly shadowed. In- deed, the blossoms vary greatly, not only in size, but in color. Some of the smallest are as dark as the heart of the ripest and reddest watermelon, while some of the palest, cream with faintest pink tinge, are unusually large. The prevailing color is the sea -shell pink, and these grow as large as any. Some full grown roses show daylight between the petals, hut a few have overlapping Petals, that give the blossom the ap- pearance of a shallow cup. Five pet- als is the rule for the wild rose, but now and then freakish nature makes one with seven. Thos who go to pluck wild roses without a knife mustremem- ber that it 1s impossible to break the stalk save at a joint, During the past week the Exeter grist mill has bean run till eleven o'clock every/night; owing to the in- creased demand for flour etc. This week they slyiiiped 150 barrels alour to Port Hood, Sq. S., and 918 bags to Que- bee• They are paying 58 cts for wheat. Clever but a Swindle. A clever attempt to swindle Western excursionists going to Niagara Falls has just come to light. Mileage books have been issued by the "New York and Niagara Falls Railway Company" that have every indication of being genuine. There is no such railway. Kincardine BF -Law Carried. The following by-laws were submit- ted to the people Monday, namely:— That the water works system be _pur- chased at a cost of $40,000; that the sum of $10,000 be expended in estab- lishing an electric light plant. Both carried, the former by 174 to 116, the latter by 172 to 116, the number of votes required to carry being 168, Five Cents to see the Blood Marks The Toronto papers state that two old men who claim that they came from St. Marys, are now 'occupying the Williams' homestead, on the Mid- dle road, the scene of the terrible trag- edy. There is a ticked tacked on the gate requesting visitors to contribute five cents each for admission to the house. It appears that the old codgers have rented the premises as a money speculation. A New Secret Order. The other day, after a strapping young man had sold a load of corn and potatoes in the market and taken his team to the hotel barn to feed, it be- came known to the men around the barn that he was very desirous of join- ing some secret society in town. When questioned he admitted that such was the case, and the boys at once offered to initiate him into a new order, called the Cavaliers of Coveo. He was told it was twice as secret as Freemasonry, and much nicer than Odd Fellolvship, and the cost was only $2,00, In case he had toothache he could draw $5.00 per week from the the relief fund, and he was entitled to receiye $10,00 for every headache, and $25.00 •for a sore throat. The young man thought he had struck a•big thing. After.: eating a gig dinner, he was taken into a store- room to be initiated. '1 he boys poured cold water down his back, pnt flour on his hair, swore him to kill his mother if commanded, and rushed him around for an hour without a single complaint from his lips. When they had finished, he inquired:—"Now I am one of the Cavaliers of Coveo, am I? "You are," they answered, "Nothing more to learn is there? "Nothings" "Well then I am going to lick the whole crowd," continued the candidate, and he went at it and before he got through he had his two dollar initiation fee back,and three more to boot; and bad knocked every ose down two or three tithes a piece. Ile did not seem greatly die• turbed in mind as he drove out of the yard. On the contrary, his hat was slanted on one side and he had a fresh five cent cigar in his teeth, and mildly said to one of the barn boys: -''Say boy, if you hear of any Cavaliers asking' for a Coveo about my size, tell them 1 will be in on the hill of the .noon to take the Royal Sky Jungle degree."

These are the days when the school caretaker feels that he is monarch of all he surveys and unlocks the door for the purpose of listening to the quiet on the staircases and in the corridors. These are the days when the school teacher starts at the accustomed fact- ory whistle which she has hitherto re garded as marking the Latest safe per- iod to which slumber may be prolonged but turns over in her bed with a reas- sured and a delight that the holidays have come. These are the days when the mother of many children wakes with a sigh and her spouce feels that the responsibilities of life are heavy, and that to be a parent is no joke. These are the days when boys and girls get up early and racket through the house much sooner after dawn than usual because there is no school to go to. The teachers will have a well-earn- ed holiday; at least, those think it well earned who have visited any of schools on those recent parboiling days and seen teachers valiantly striving to for- get the thermometer and to make their children forget it, Under such circum- stances the patient courage of childhood and its striyiog after duty is a thing to wake the sympathies. It can only be looked at with unconcern by bachelors and hard-hearted ratepayers who think that teachers ought to work all the time. The important things of life are, of course, not those that are commonly counted important, such as dynasties, parliments, politics, the bank rate, and official dignities. • These do well to make a show of importance with and to look solemn about just as synods and •conferences and ceremonies are useful to make up a frame of things for events to hang on. But the world for the most part is kept straight by much more intangible influences—humble itnpulses—modest examples, which, though distributed oyer a large area, are but little in evidence. The teach- ing of the Public Schoolschollars of the city is really a rrore important issue than what the 94 newly elected mem bers of the Legislature will do, and looked at on this plane the destinies of these schollars for the holidays is a matter worth thinking about. Nothing will be worse than to let:them run loose without any sort of guidance, Boys and girls want things to do. They are always and all the time preceiving, wondering, contriving and on the move. It will be far less trouble to provide for their faculties than to leave them unprovided for. Outdoor enjoy- ments will, of course, take up a large space of the time, and day a,fer day will be spent it may be hoped beneath the blue sky, in 'heal woods, in leafy glades, upon grassy knolls, or near the water that laps the shore. There are, however, a good many hours that must be spent indoors, and for these any useful hints are invaluable. Some advocate supplying children with the means of doingsomethiiig with their everbusv fingerf3. They are for putting a board with a big lump of modelling clay on it and a few simple tools' that Summer Hats in Straw and Felt and correct shapes at C4.RIjI 'G BROS. A private and personal matter.
