LOCAL JOTTINGS The Liberals have raised the neces - ary $1,000 and have entered a counter protest against the election of Mr. Weismiller. the Conservative candidate for South Huron Mr. Gideon Perrie, an old Huron boy, formerly of Seaforth, threw the 56 pound weight 20 feet, 10kinches, at the games of the Boston Caledonian Club ou Thursday of last week, beating the world's record of 29.10, The Oke farm, which has been in litigation for some time, was put up by auction at the Commercial Hotel, Exeter, on Saturday 'last and was pur- chased by Reeve Bawden, Considera- tion $5,560, We understand it was af- terwards pur_hased by Thos. and Wm. Oke. Mr. John McCallum, painter, while out at his son in laws Mr, Wm. Snider, near Dashwood, on Saturday last unfortunately received a kick from a horse which will render him unable to work for some time. His collar bone was broken and his head badly gashed. Particulars of the ac• eident will be found in Dashwood cor- respondence. It is said that dancing makes girls' feet large. It is also said that ice cream produces freckles. Doctors are of the opinion that hanging on the front gate produces rheumatism. The chew- ing of gum distorts the mouth. Play- ing on the piano destroys the beauty of the hand, a.nd washing dishes causes chaps to come—to propose. And yet girls endure all the perils They can- not be thrown of the scent by slander- ing ice cream. Large posters are out announcing the annual Fall Fair under the aus- pices of the Stephen & Usborne Agri. cultural Society. The prize lists are in the hands of the Secretary A. G-. Dyer, and are being distributed among the members of the society. Any one not yet receiving a prize list may get one by addressing the Secretary. The directors are making an effort for this year's fair that tvi11 eclipse all former years. The dates are fixed for Sept. 24th and 25th. Messrs. Snields & Edwards, proprie- tors. of the merry-go-round pitched their tent on the vacant lot, corner of James and Main Streets on Thursday last and was indeed a source of at- traction to both old and young. A vast erowd could have been seen at any time when this unique machine was in operation and as a consequence the proprietors reaped a bountiful harvest, although very liberal in giving free rides. They removed to Clinton Tues. day. They left sooner than they would have had the council not taxed them 55. per night. One night last week while one of lair, John Loadman's livery horses was standing in the stable at Grand Bend it met with serious injuries. It would appear as though the animal attempt- ed to roll in the stall and after getting down was unable to rise again. When first noticed in the morning its head was, turned back under its body and to such a position as not to be able to free itself, and apparently had been in that predicament some time. The an- imal wag brought home in a badly - used, u state, its body being bruised and cut in pianplaces, and its neck a nd will Lever hilly terribly doform yeeorrer, There will not he any fall fair Hensall this year.

"Chink" being scarce they- soon heysoon left town, Mr. Jas. Down, who sustained a bad shaking up by falling 15 feet while painting at the resideuce of Mr, Chas. Perkins, has sufficiently recovered as to be able to work again, but it will bo some time before he will be as before. Mr- Wm. Brooks, harness maker and postmaster, at the north end of the vil- lage, has added to his business a stock of school books and stationery. We should think that this would be yery convenient to the people of the north end and vicinity. Mr, Chas. Snell, who was recently appointed Division Court Clerk, has purchased the large b.iick store on Main street, owned by Mr. Thos. Greg- ory, and recently vacated by Mr. R. Hicks, This is desirable property and with a little regrranging will suit Mr. Snell immensely. .He will take im- mediate possession. Several eases. of diphtheria are re. ported in Stephen township.

The annual Institute Meeting of the Teachers of West Huron will- be held in the Collegiate Institute, 'God.erich, on Thursday and Friday, September 27th and 28th, 1894, when the usual routine of business will be transacted. The dwelling house and property situated on Andrew street. recently' yacated by Mr. Jchn Darling and own- ed by Mr, James Garland, has been purchased by Mr. Samuel Fulton, of London township, who will soon be- come a resident of Exeter. On Saturday evening last while Mas- ter Audy Shannon, who lives with his aunt, Mrs. Dan Dyer, was climbing over the front gate he fell and re- ceived a yery severe sprain to his left leg between the knee and ankle, The injured limb is very painful, but under the doctor's care, it is hoped will soon be well again.

An itinerant medicine vendor, who extracts teeth free of charge as an advertisement, was sum- moned at the instance of an Exeter dentist who visits Lucan regularly for ,practising illegally. The case comes up for hearing to -day. Some of the friends of the medicine man, hearing of what had been dote, made serious threats against the Exeter dentist, and it became necessary to render him pro- tection, so it is alleged."—Free Press. A writer in a turf journal gives the following rule to estimate the height a colt will grow to. Take a colt at any time between six months and one year stand him on a level surface so that he will stand naturally. then measure the distance from the hair of his hoof to the knee joint, and for each inch or fraction thereof he measures he will be hands high when matured. If he measures 15 inches he will grow to be 15 hands high; if 15> inches he will grow to be 15?- hands high and so on. Just as we go to press we learn that Mr. G. W. Holman has tendered his resignation as teacher in the Winchel sea Public School. Mr. Holman has taught this school continuously during the past fourteen years and during that period has been intimately associ- ated with the history of Usborne �f which Township he has been Clerk during the past nine years. Few men of the years of our friend G. W. can boast of such a record of which he may well feel proud. We have not learned what his prospects for the future are, but it is safe to predict that he will not be long out of harness. On Saturday afternoon last the grain= ary and barn belonging to Mr. Samuel Hicks, of the 2nd Con, Usborne, was burned to the ground with contents, including a number of hogs..he origin of the fire is not deiinately known, but is supposed to be the re- sult of children playing playing with matches, This year's crops is a total loss to Mr, Hicks, with the exception of a load of grain which he had drawn to Exeter market, consequently his great loss was not known to him until his ar- rival home. Matches should be kept out of the reach of children, as it is im- possible for parents at all times to see what their little ones are playing with, This is a very severe warning. A well known local weather prophet says we are going to have war and a yery hard winter, and that every sign indicates that fact. Oats and wheat are a light crop, with lots of chaff, the same as in 1861, and they grew in spots, as they did that year, The but- ternuts are falling off in great num- bers, signifying death to many. And last, but not least, we have the panicky times which can only be corrected by a war or some new developement. Now in regard to a hard winter:—The coons and groundhogs have a heavy growth of fur coming on. The chipmunk and squirrel are the busiest little animals in the world. The insects have left the north side of the trees in the woods as you will notice. and the feathers on the geese are heavier than before, Young lambs are growing wools that seem marvellous, and sheep that have been sheared are rapidly regaining their fleece. These signs were visible in '57 and '58. Trivitt neve. Sunday School Picnic. On Thursday afternoon the Sunday School scholars and teachers accom- panied by a largo number of their friends held their annual picnic in Reeve Bawden's beautiful grove; on the north bank of the river, The weather was all that could be desired and every one had a most enjoyable time. Swinging was indulged in by she children as well as other sports and pastimes, The atheletic sports were under the management of their worthy rector and his assistants to the satisfac- tion of all. Competition in the races was very keen and some of the prizes were handsome ones. The boys say that Allie Stewart had a flat looking face on the home stretch,—that Fred Hawkshaw had a full cup when he touched the rope,—that in the men's race the rector was at the head of his flock as was befitting,—that the wo men's race was Sweet from start to fin ish,—that A. G. D. tried to plow up the track,—that there was too much cleri- cal cloth in front of D. D., or he would have won the race,—that it was a hard Case for Illo(o)re to beat,—that the ladies kept cool with a.Tcan ahead in both races. The teachers assisted by the Ladies Guild, had charge of the tables, and the children and their friends were treated to a typical plc' nic dinner. The days sports closed about 7.30 p. m. The following is the list of prize winners:— DDT's RACE UNDER 16 YEARS: -1st Alex. Stewart, 2nd Wellington West- cott, 3rd Isaac Bissett.

SPACKFWAN & 00 Sam well's Block The .Electric Light For some time past the people of Exeter have been anxiously awaiting the completion of the electric light sys- tem in our town. For the first time Thursday evening the current was turned on and was a pleasing sight in- deed. The arc lights shone out most brilliantly and was really grand con- sidering the first time of operation. The Main street was well illuminated with the exception of the lengthy space between Bissott's old stand and Mr. F. Knight's grocery store. The interval between those two points is without a doubt too great and could no; reason- alby be expected to be lit from the two lamps. However, we are informed that the council intend putting in an extra lamp in front of Mr. J. A. Stewart's store if the light proves satisfactory. The change to the people of Exeter was indeed great after being so many years used to the old-fashioned street lamp, and consequentially a large number was out to witness its first appearance, The timelier lights are not yet in proper' running order, although they have been tried several times. To Dress well It is not necessary that you should have your Clothes made from the very best material, neither need you have the very latest style, but to look well your clothes must fit. This is our Aim. Not only to make a suit fit proper but in the latest style, We guarantee Every garment that leaves our shop will be a perfect fit. sir. KJMIIT The Fashionable Cutter and Fitter Harvest (tome Festival, On Tuesday evening last the Har- yest Home Festival took place as per announcement in the Main Street Methodist Church, The attendance was not as large as might have been expected, considering the occasion. The church was beautifully decorated and much credit is due, the management. The dinner was served in the base- ment. We noticed on the platform Revds. Butt, of Centralia, Currie, of Hensall, Ramsay (Presbyterian) Mt. Forest, and Martin, of Cayen Presby- terian Church, town, and pastor, Rev. Loche. The addresses were befitting the occasion and were listened to with marked attention by those present. The affair was a pleasant and enjoyable one indeed. Labor Day At Seaforth. Seaforth will not be behind in cele- brating the new holiday on Monday next, The bicyclists intend having the best race meet that can be seen in the West this season. The track is a half mile one, and will be in good shape, while the prizes will be numerous and costly. The cracks will all be there, and there won't be any loafing in the races, as the Torontos' successful scheme for pacemakig has been adopt- ed. Spectators may depend, therfore, on seeing the hottest kind of races' races that are races that are races al, the way. Two novel events will also be introduced in the shape of a race for tandem bicycles, which is cetain to be done in 2120 or less, and a race be- tween a fast trotter and a bicyclist. The town will likely be crowded with visitors, and we are sure they will be well repaid. ��i f*i •
