"F'armers are trying their best to bring
ere harder times by selling off young
stock and all their hay and straw
and coarse feed. off the farms. Such
farms will soon produce nothing to sell.

A Woman Hun_
Around the neck of her husband and

a pretty little bonnet—he consented.
Grand Trunk conductors were much
displeased last week when they re-
ceived notice that in future they would
be liable to have their runs changed
daily. In the past conductors have
had regular runs, and the men now
complain that it will seriously affect
their boarding house arrangements.
The reason of the change is obvious
since the recent disclosures at Montre-
al.
On Monday night last the members
of the band serenaded George Davis,
who has always proven himself one of
the most active members of the institu-
tion. On their arrival at the house
they found that George had commenced
his matrimonial trip by keeping good
hours. However the "boys" struck up
a favorite "Galop" of George's, and
both him and his good wife were soon
at the door extending a hearty wel-
come. As soon as all were seated Mr.
Jos. Senior, on behalf of the band and in
a few well chosen words presented the
newly wedded couple with a handsome
antique finish oak rocker, to which Mr.
Davis responded. The evening passed
away with music;storytelling and crisp
jokes. About 9.30 Mrs, Davis assisted
by Miss Davis, passed around refresh-
ments, to which the boys did ample
justice. After again extending to Mr.
and Mrs Davis their well wishes they
left for their respective homes wonder-
ing whether it would be Harry's or
Bob's turn next.
Death of Mrs, Jos. Cobbledick.
A home, once happy with the joys
and blessings of a kind wife and lov-
ing mother, has been stripped of that
virtue, by the sad and sudden death of
Catherine Jane Guest, beloved wife of
Joseph Cobbledick, which took place in
the City Hospital, London, on Fri-
day evening last, The blow was in-
deed a sad one to the household, and
when the loss is so unexpected the feel
Tugs of regret is very much intensified
It seems deceased went down to Lon-
don on Thursday morning of last week
for the purpose of undergoing an oper-
ation for an internal trouble, but before
the operation was performed and on
Friday evening she succumbed quiet-
ly and almost imperceptibly from the
effects of a nervous heart afElictien.
Her remains were brought here on
Saturday by train and conveyed to her
husband's residence from where the
funeral took place on Sunday to the
Exeter cemetery, She leaves a hus-
band, one son and two small girls to
mourn her demise, to whom we extend
the genuine sympathy of the commun-
ity in their sad bereavement and it
retrievable loss, Deceased, together
with her husband'and family, resided
in Biddulph for many years and was
highly respected by her many friends
and neighbors, The funeral was at-
tended by over one hundred and twen-
ty-five rigs.

Quite a Gain.
"' The Court of Revision of the Voters'
List for this village was held in the
Town Hall on Friday last, with Judge
Tom as Revisiag officer. There were
30 conservatives added to the list while
there were only 14 Reformers,thus mak-
ing a gain of 16.
Appreciative Joke.
On Friday an esteem resident of Clin-
ton was the subject of a practical joke
A party of gentlemen were on their
way to Seaforth. One of the number
had been slipped a railway return
ticket, as he supposed, by the gentle-
man in charge of the party. As the
train moved along the conductor was
taking up the tickets as careful as
usual. "Why," said he to Mr. Blank,
"that ticket is long enough to take you
to Quebec!" "Seaforth! The ticket is
for Seaforth and return!" exclaimed
tbe gentleman. The genial conductor
re-examined the ticket and these words
were plainly thereon:—"Gbod for one
admission to the county gaol." The
joke,.appreciated by all, then exploded
and the car fare was made good with
the remark that such a visit would be
preferred farther away from home.—
News Record.
The Wiarton Canadian says: "An
amusing little incident occurred on the
train leaving Wiarton a few days ago,
A passenger asked Conductor Nickle
for a ticket to Hepworth and flourish-
ed a $100, bill to pay for it. These big
bill gentry bob up every once in a
while to make small purchases to the
annoyance of business men of all kinds,
and yery often, rather than go to the
trouble of getting change, they are
allowed to get off without paying for
what they buy. Conductor leTickle was
not going to give this fellow any satin
faction of that kind and being a little
more flush that day than usual, he dip-
ped into his little wardrobe and counted
out the change, to the- chagrin of the
big bill chap and amusement Of onlook-
ers. The best part of the joke though
wad that the man who wanted to go to
Hepworthon the little corner of his
$100 bill turned out to ,be a Grand
Trunk "spotter" who was trying to
catch conductors.

Cow Owners
Cow owners will bear in mind that
all cows are to be kept off the streets
on and after Nov. 1. Constable Creech
says that he is bound to enforce the by
law in this respect, and all cows run-
ning at large after that date will be
empounded.
The Election Protests.
The Toronto World says it is inform-
ed on pretty good authority that all the
petitions against the return of both
Conservatives and Reformers to the
Ontario Legislature will .be dropped.
Negotiations for a compromise have
been going on for some days, and it is
more than likely that neither the judg-
es nor the people of Canada will be
worried wirh election trials and bye -
elections. On the other hand reports
come from other sources that a number
of protests will come to trial.
Apples for Exports.
Canadian fruit is likely to lose pres-
tige in the British market if more are
is not taken in packing and assorting.
Rev. Mr. Taylor of St. Marys says that
in conversation with a large importer
of Canadian apples, when in Liverpool,
he learned that English dealers were
loud in their complaints of the way in
which Canadian apples were put on the
British market. The packing was bad,
and the assorting dishonest. Instead
of apples of a size being peeked by
themselves, the rule was to have the
large on top/and the diininutive at the
bottom, with a sprinkling of midile•
sized fruit in the centre. This style of
doing business may pass muster in On-
tario where fruit is cheap, but with the
English dealer who has to pay a good
price for his goods, better treatment is
expected. The following directions for
the packing of apples have been recom•
mended. The barrel ought to be well
skaken several times while being filled
and the last layer should be turned
stem end up. A firm and steady pres-
sure is necessary before the barrel head
is inserted, and, as far as possible, each
layer should be placed so that the whole
will remain in position firmly. In no
case should a hammer be used to pound
the head in, nor should the pressure be
removed before the head 15 in place, as
the juice in any "chipped" apple will
then go back into the bruise, and de-
cay will, be rapid.
Fades and all sorts o� Tricks
And humbugs, are resorted to by
some dealers to catch trade. They
profess that you can get Dry-
goods and groceries for nothing
For example they will' quote
prices: as follows: --
Overcoats worth $15.00 for $10,00
Suits " 12.00 " 8.00
Shirts 1.00 " .50
Dress -goods " .75 " .50
Cotton " ,08 " ,05
Ladies' Hose .35 " .25
Tea " .35 " .25, etc,
We call a spade a spade! Such absurd advertisements
are of no value any more than cheap goods are Still
as Barnum used to say,"People like to be humbugged."
Carling Bros. don't make such offers.
We have been here too long to resort to that sort of
thing. Their trade is established and is reliable.
Carlini Bros. sell at fair profits.
You get what you ask for and pay the least money
consistant with excellent value. Try Tetley's celebra-
ted Tea, sample given free, -50, 60 and 70 cts per ib.
Produce per lb as follows:—butter 18, eggs 15, lard 12,

The following resolutions adopted by
the clergy and the undertakers of God-
erich will commend themselves to the
common sense of every thoughtful per-
son. No good accrues, to anyone, but
harm frequently to someone, by the de•
lays which new seem to be considered
neceessary to the carrying out of a
funeral. rhe signers of these resolu-
tions can do much towards remedying
the useless practice, but they should be
aided in their efforts by the friends and
pall bearers at such gatherings:—
"Whereas, much time is lost, an unne-
cessary exposure suffered by many on
funeral occassions by reason of tedious
delays, for the better understanding
and convenience of the public; resolved
that we, the clergymen of the town of
Goderich, when called upon to officiate
at funerals, do what we can to have
the procession leave the residence of the
deceased at the hour indicated on tbe
posted notices. We also wish to place
upon record our earnest disapproval,
except in cases of absolute necessity, of
Sunday funerals, as a needless infer-
ence with the work of the Lord's Day.
We, as undertakers of the same town,
concur in the above resolution, and in
So fax as concerns ourselves will'aid in
carrying it out The reform should
be carried still further, namely, to the
abolition of the unsightly and unneces
,sary display of so called mourning' em-
blems. Too often the additional ex-
pense of these can ill be afforded by the
departed, but because an absurd fash.
ion calls for them the meaningless ex-
travagance is incurred. This is a re-
form which lies solely within the power
of the mourning relatives, and it is to
be hoped good sense will overrule the
too long tyranny of customs.
