Sanders, who bas just complet td a. successful term at the Clinton Model School, has been spendiag a few days at his home in Stephen, prior to commencing his duties as teacher in S. Sr No. 5, Stanley. This being his first school we wish him every success in his undertaking. The Exeter Skating Rink which is being conducted by A. Spicer in the old drill shed on the - Agricultural grounds is now running in full blast. Mrs Spicer deserves credit for his hard work in getting the ice to such a state of perfection as it now is. Persons fond of that kind of amusement and pastime Cannot spend an evening at a better place. Mr. T. J. Lockhart, of Cannington+ arrived in town on Tuesday and coin tnenees his duties as Principal of the. Exeter Public School to -day (Thursday', Mr Lockhart comes highly recommend ed and under his able tutition the suc cess of the youth may be looked for- ward to with br ght prospects. We ex- tend to him a hearty welcome and wish him every prosperity. A unique method of raising money for church purposes was introduced at Sunday morning's service in the Bap tiat Tabernacle, Ingersoll. The pastor, Rev. S. F. Barker, gave to each person attending the morning service a dollar b11, with the promise that they were to Invest it, and at the end of the year 1895 return it along with what it had earned in the meantime. About $100 was passed out. It is the general impression in town that the melodious sounds emanating from the. Tri vitt .Memorial bells on var ious occasions of late, have been pro dneed by the old Country ringers: but snch is not the case and the young men in charge of that departmentsay if any credit is due in : the matter that they want ir. by Jo[vje.

A correspondent commenting on the completion of the big drain recently cut through flullett swamp pays the following we Il deserved compliment to 4 former Exeterite:—"The surveys and the neceesary plans were prepared, by.

We have made an arrangement with the Toronto Daily News by .which we can send that paper, .the regular p p , g price of whichis $3.00, and the Advocate the regular price of which is $1.00, both for the period of one' year for $1.75. There is one condition, which is that the Subscription be received by us before. he 10th of January.

The long wished sleighing has reach- ed us at last,and although the roads are thinly coated with the beautiful the. cutter and sleigh runs very nicely. Livery men have been enjoying a wood run of business the past week Sleighing is fair and many of the young people are taking advantage of the salve. Be sure and shake hands with candi- dates for election,—syrnpathize with them—wish them success. They are ou their merits this year, -there is no butter, cheese, turkey or goose in this time, The beautiful open air selections ren- dered by the Exeter. Band on New Year's eve were indeed highly appreci ated; as was also the usual peel from the Triyitt. Memorial church bells, ring- ing the old year out and the new year in. We notice among the list of nominees for municipal honors the naive of our old friend, Mr. C. Senior, formerly of Exeter, who is in the field again for Reeve in the town of Blenheim. It will be a three -cornered tight there being two in the field besides himself. How- ever, we hope to see our old friend head the poll, as in the last contest. Write it 1895 and commence the now year by advertising in. the .ADVOCATE Before you make up your list of good resolutions for '95, makeup your mind. to keep what you have: Miss Ames Black Knox will appear in Drows' Opera Hall on January 18th under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of Cavell Presbyterian church. The Patrons of South Huron will hold a convention at Brumfield on the llth inst., to consider the advisability of selecting a candidate for the ap- proaching Domiuiou election. Mr. Ed. Christie, having disposed of. his farms, has deeided to remove to town again, and has opened out an im- plement establisnment in his old stand opposite the ADVOCATE Office. Give him a call when in request of anything in the impliment line. During the holiday season trade in town has been exceptionally good and fairly well up to the average A gaze at the interior of some cf the leading stores would not lead a person to be lieve that there was any depression in trade. One business house in town (in the small -ware line) is justly worthy of special mention, wo refer to Mr. John Griggs book store; It was a scene of bustling activity, and the shelves -and counters on all sides fairly groaning under the heavy burdens of holiday goods. It is indeed worthy of a visit, even if you don't want to buy, THE BIG BANKRUPT STORE. GREAT ANNUAL Sock -Taking SALE NOW ON. Bigosilfiest halo ofl hods COME AND SEE. J. A. STEWART. On Tuesday evening (New Year's night) Mr: and Mrs Wm Dearing cele- brated the 40th anniversary of their married life by a family gathering at their home on 3rd Con., Stephen. Their children and grandchildren were pres. ent. Among those from a distance were their two daughters, Mrs. Haist and Mrs. Prowse, of Marlette, Mich.; and other family connections in Clinton, London, Woodham, Creditou and Dash- wood, Among the presents given them was a beautiful dinner set, presented by the children, Mr. and Mrs. Dearing are still hale and hearty, and jolly, good-natured old people, and their chances are good for a golden wedding, and we hope they may live to enjoy it, On Wednesday the fancily were photo- graphed by Senior, the Photo Artist, of Exeter. Bicycle for Sale. A first-class, second hand bicycle for sale, has been run ouly 4 months. Price $40.—A bargain. Apply to Jas. Grieye, Exeter. New Barber Shop. Mr. I Dearing wishes to announce to the general public that he is about to open out a barber shop in Bissett's old hardware stand and respectfully solicits your patronage. No Truth in it. For some time past it has been gen- erally reported around town and vicin- ity that the ADVOCATE is soon to change hands, having been purchased by Mr. T. A. Brown, late teacher in the Exeter Public School. Without a doubt the rumor has done our business a considerable amount of harm and to set ourselves aright before the public and our many patrons, we . here deny all reports to that effect as they are ut- terly false in every particular, and en• tirely without foundation. We have neither sold the ADVOCATE nor do we intend to. We hope our many friends will accept this contradiction and ex- tend the same liberal patronage as heretofore. Shooting Match.

As was promised the previous evening by Dr. Lutz the meeting was most interesting throughout, although characterized by considerable venom and dirt throwing. The discussion lasted for several hours and finally wound up by a unanimous showing of bands in favor of the ballot system. Mr. M. Eacrett acted as chair- man. Personal Mention.

These people have gained a world-wide reputation and without a doubt a treat is in store. See. bills. School Trustees. Not for some years has there been so much interest manifested in the election of the School Trustee Board than there' was the present year. The meeting Tuesday night seemed to have aroused a'feeling of enthusiasm in the -electorate and all seemed deeply interested. The voting took place in the Town Hall and before the poi'- closed which was at 4 o'clock 452 votes were polled out of a possible 581. Following is the result:— I. Fitton,'109; Ed. Howard 94; W D. Weekes 91; Dr. Lutz 90; Samuel Mar- tin 39; Dr. Browning 29. Thus the Board for 1895 will be composed of the following:—H. E. Husson, W ^ J. Car ling, P. Fraype, T Fitton, Ed. Howard and W. D. Weekes. . LATER, -Since the above was in type we learn that the returning offieer, Mr. M. Eacrett, closed the poll at 4 o'clock instead of 5, which may possibly necessitate a new election.
