Information concerning same will be thankfully received. Thos. Snell. "Mrs. William Allan, of Exeter, arose early Friday morning and left the house, Since then no trace of her has been found." The foregoing appeared in the Daily Empire, but it certainly is incorrect as no person by that name dives here. It should have read Essex as a similiar instance occurred there A Grand Bend Correspondent says:— ",Mr. Richard Robinson intends moving near Exeter, havires rented his farm to *his son, A. W. Robinson. Mr. Robinson has been a resident of this section for over twentyyears,,and all will wish him and those of the family who remain with him health and prosperity in their new home."

No person of that name, to our recollection has ever resided here. Doubtless he is an im• poster and well deserving the sentence imposed upon him, The Presbyterian Church at: Parkhill 7 is now benne lit by electricity. Mr. J. G.

She was apparent- ly all right Thursday evening. Cause unknown, This will grieve "Joe" and also deprive him of many a good drive as he was contemplating a joyous time with his horse and cutter this winter: Doubtless; the fair sex will also be sor- ry to hear of its death. The same night the ltttle pony belonging to Mr. D. Davis died from congestion of the lungs.. She was conceded to be one of the best drivers in town and was a nob- le little beast. Re is a Dead Beat. "Last week an individual calling himself Bert Dawson, last occupation with the Fraser Dramatic Company who played in Paris the previous week, worked up a game on the merchants of Paris, duping, beating and obtain- ing , money under false pretences. This scamp is well known to Constable Cook, he having conveyed him to the central and other prisons more than once. This fellow (Bert Dawson) said he had a brother living in Drumbo. We found him to be a professional dead beat, a fraud and a swindler,'' He can vassed the merchants Qf the town for advertisements, having an advertis- ing scheme of his own (that to beat the public.) After getting the ads. he made a contract for the printing at the Rm= vizw office, got his work done, collect ed.his money for the ads but did not call'to pay for the printing or deliver the advertising matter as promised by him and in that act defrauding the printer and the merchants, .obtaining money under false pretences; goods and work by fraud. There are over 25 indictments that can be prepared against him in Paris and he may yet be brought to bgok and have ,to spend A couple of years in the central prison, which would be too good for suchidead beats and professinal tramps, going about gulling the public. Ile is a man of medium height, thin ,spare face, what some term lantern jawed, sandy complexion, wears his hat on the back of his head, looks like a professional beat.e Pr ss pass him arbund or 'some constable arrest him and bring him back to Paris and he will be prosecuted as a swindler."—Paris Review,.

Apple shippers to British Columbia.. are having trouble over the codling moth this season. Recently a mired of Ontario apples was seized and des- troyed at Vancouver on account of the fruit being infected with this pest. The C. P. R. has issued a notice to fruit men that unless the greatest care• is exercised by thein with regard to in- fected fruit the company all charges on shipmnts to be prepaid. 11'rauds.—Beware of Then.. The world is full of frauds and dead beats, defrauding •the public out of money in Almost every imaginable way. Still these frauds and tramping humbugs are received and patronized by the public. If a, dead beat comes along merchants and mechanics are apt to deal with Mtn and get swindled. When the oily tongued tea peddler comes to town he finds lots of customers and boasts of the number he gets. Al- though his teas may be, and no doubt are, 25 per cent dearer than the mer chants of the town sell the same goods for. The same, may ho saki about .jew- elry, silverware, clothing, etc. How is this accounted for? Let those that deal with ,the strangers answer the question. ` A Filting Jilea!
