Short, of Parkhill, and Jennie Johnson were married at Willow Hall, Hensall,Oet., the residence of the bride's father, Thursday. The bridegroom was the hero of the recent trial for ar• son,. Miss Johnson, the bride, was one of the witnesses for the defeuce, while the officiating minister, Rev. G. H. Thomson, and the groomsman, Mr. Brewer, had given evidence at the trial. Miss Mary Johnson attended her sister. The wedding will be the talk of the country side for many a day. Guests attended from Clinton, Seaforth, Bayfield, Exeter, Zurich, Lu can. Thsclford, and other places. Amongst the 800 odd euests were Mr. and. Mrs. John M. McEvoy, of this city. The carriages in which they arrived were packed as closely as possible and crowded a 4 acre field. After the cere- mony Mr. and Mrs. Short left for a trip up the lakes via Goderich.

From a COD verSatiOn which we had one evening last week with Mr. Davy, caretaker at the cemete:y, we would infer that people having lots at the Cemetery have an idea that . the care- taker is paid by the Cemetery officials to keep the graves in a tidy and clean appearance. Such is not the case, all the Caretaker gets is what is Raid him for digging the graves, and what is paid him lay private individuals for keeping their lots in a decent condition. The consequence of this state of affairs is, that some graves are kept very nice indeed. while others are in a very de- lapidated state—all overgrown with grass, head stones and monuments leaning half over if Lot flat on the ground. The question is, how can all the graves be lo'pt in a good condition? Wehave a suggestion which may prove satisfactery. It is well known that the Managernetit has not enough funds to guarantee a caretaker a year- ly salary. but we are of the opinion that a salary of 8300 a year could be very easily raised by 'taxing each grave (not each lot) the small amount of 25 or 50 cents a year. The care taker's duties being tokeep the walks in good order, the trees trimmed aril free from dead limbs and each lot (not just the gray()) kept in good order. To put some of the graves in decent condition it would cost from $3 to $5. We have never noticed whether there are more than seven graves in one Ion even if there are eight, it means only $2 per year to have that lot kept in such a condition to show that the liv- ing hen respect and pleasant memories for their dead. Sete have often heard it said "if a dead person should wake up and read the epitaph on their grave Stone it v. ould bo a surprise to some of them. In addition to that we would say that if some of the buried dead should wake up in. the Exeter Cemetery and see the slip shod manner in. which their "graves are kept green," it would be a :much greater surprise. We do not for a moment think that our suggestion is the hest one. We do hope that friondw and relatives of the buried dead will open their eyes to the facts above mentioned, and do their utmost to assist the Cemetery management in solving the difficulty. J. A. STEWART. It is about time a stringent cow by- law was put in operation in Exeter The neighboring towns of Clinton and Bayfield ha ye found such a by law to work satisfactorily, and it is about time Exeter got into the progressive pro- cession. This town has a bigger ani - bitten than to be rated as a cow pas- ture. Our issue of July 19th contained an obituary notice of Mr. B. Aubry, the famous and well known horse buyer. The item was founded on a telegraph message received from Lucan to the effect that Mr. Aubry was dead. We have good. reason to believe that our old friend is still in the land of the liy- nng, as Mr. John Snell had word from him from Montreal as we were at press last Wednesday (yesterday week.)This is certainly good news to all of our readers, who will bear us out in our statement that Mr. Aubry's many -Mends here will be heartily pleased to see him when he comes around again. It was Mr. Aubry's brother, who died. He is also a horse buyer, We extend our sympathy to our old friend in his sad bereavement. Lance Duck Fruit. Andy Stewart, of the Bobier Produce Co., handed us a duck egg on Friday last, which measures rti x 9 inches in circumference. It was among other eggs bought from al, Williams of Dub- lin, Ont. This is the largest duck egg that has yet comae to our notice. The following' is a clipping from the Ridgetown Standard and refers to a former citizen, Mr. N. Dyer Harden:— "We have much. pleasure this week in stating that the MoIsons bank here has now as its manager, Mr. N. Dyer Hur- don, a gentlemen of superior culture and training in banking affairs.

MW Hurdon first entered on his career as a bank clerk in the Na- tional Provincial Bank, of Londou, Eng- land, nearly thirty years ago. In this one of the largest and most important of the great banking institutions in the world, he spent five years in hard train- ing, and rose rapidly into favor sur - is was by 225 other clerks 'motion, In 1874 Mr. National Provincial ..Bank and caWO Canada securing'a inesitien as clerk in the Moloons Bank at Monti:eon.

The fall trade will be on shortly, and Exeter business men—always on the alert -are well prepared for it. There is no place where farmers can. sell or buy to better advantage than they can here; our business men are courteous, oblig- ing and painstaking, and will give the same attention to small purchases as to large. Farmers or others who do not deal with Exeter businessmen will fiad it to their advantage to do so. Board of Trade. There is certainly no organization of more benefit to a town of such di- mensions as Exeter as a good lively Board. of Trade. We understand Exe- ter is possessed of such an institution but are of the opinion that the organise ation is made up of drones. There are two sees of drones in a Board of Trade, one set does nothing and says nothing for the good of their town and the other set has an idea that their town is the town and that no other town is worth settline., in. The latter may be alright but of what advantage is it if its busi- ness men do not pee their suoulders to the wheel and hold mot inducement to prospective manufacturers and trades- men. If our Board. of Trade is not yet defunct, would it not be a good idea if its members were to shake the dust off their feet and !Teske an effort to keep the grass from growing on our streets. Re -organize gentlemen, xot a. move on you, and you will be surprised at what can be accomplished in the next twelve months. There is plenty of room for doing a good work for the town.
