week, Miss Maggie Sweet, of Exeter,
took a very prominent part. Her es-

of if and the great interest she 'takes
in Sunday Scheel work, was elected

Mr. F. B. Morrison, of Madison, Wis.,
who drove all the way from that place
to St. Marys last week, has this to say:
—"In driving through the country I
noticed that the farms and farm build

far more prosperity than those the oth-
er side of the line." This speaks well
for Ontario and should ease the minds
of those chronic growlers, who think
every other country better than their

Ate Binding Cord.
The death of very many cattle in
Simcoe county and neighboring ones
has caused considerable uneasiness in
the farming community as it now tran-
spires that the binding cord mixed
with straw has been the cause of death.
John Dees, of Collingwood Township,
haslost seven cows out of eight afflict-
ed, John Wiscinan lost, two, Arbuthe-
not three, and several others have suf-
fered like loss. One of Arbuthenot's
cattle was opened and in its stomach
was found a ball of chewed cord, which
had probably been accumulating there
for a year or two, as the ball was very
large. It is now said that the cord
roust be removed from the straw and
to do this one farmer suggests having
a man at the threshing ,n&teliine to re-
move the cord as soon as the band is
cut.
The Prost of'50
When anything exceptional occurs
in weather experience, one is apt to
conclude that itis unprecedented Such
opinions prevail in reverence to the ter-
ribly destructive frost of the past week
but older residents recall those of June,
1859, when fruit and vegetation was
much more advanced than now, and
the loss very great. On the last of May
wheat was heading, apples were as
large as walnuts, and clover in bloom,
A frost on the nights of the 5th and 6th
of June, and another on the llth and
12th, blighted everything. Fields of
waving grain were in a few days as if
xtctwly-plowed. the wheat never ma-
tured, and the ground was strewn with
frozen fruit. It may affoid some con-
solation to add that spring grain par-
tially recovered and yielded a fair crop.

The Hensall Observer says: "The
majority of our citizens observed the
Queen's birthday as all loyal subjects
should, the majority who left town vis
ited Exeter, where they evidently had
a good time." That's right brethren.
Whenever you or any of your citizens
wish to strike a good live town for a
day of good live spores, come to Exeter.
Citizens of a dull town should always
go where they can vary the monotony
somewhat.
If a merchant will take care of his
space, change his copy, keep it fresh,
and put interesting matter into it, it
will be read assiduously and as regu-
larly as the spiciest bit of gossip. As
it gets readers so will the dealer get
customers. Aggressiyeness and con-
fidence are essential in advertising.
Timid men do not succeed. It's the
fellow who goes straight a head,
full of self-confidence, forcefull. bound
to make his point; that's the man
whose business thrives and flourishes.
Let his advertisements breath of hon•
esty and truth. Let every statement
be exactly a fact—no more, no less;
but rather let him understate the good
ness of his wares than overstate them,
Above all put news in the ads.
They have discovered a new fake
swindle over in Yankeedom, which; no
doubt, in due course will find operators
on this side of the line. We give par
titulars so that our readers may be pre-
pared for the fakirs. As the story goes,
the plan is something like this: " A man
comes along with a $10 bill and gets it
changed at a business house. A few
hours later two men call and ask if he
had seen a certain man giving the de-
scription and.the merchant replies he
changed a $10 bill for a man answer-
ing that description a few hours before.
The merchant is then imformed that the
fellow is wanted for pushing the
"queer." The two strangers claim to be
detectives and ask to see the bill. They
pronounce it counterfeit and worthless.
The merchant kindly lets them take it
to serve as evidence against the swind-
ler when he is captured and receives a
receipt for it. The bill is good and the
two men go on pursuing the first eit-
her),"

Master Garnet Whitely, son of Mr. W.
T. Whitely, of the Customs, was not at-
tending school, and sooner than do so,
he undertook to strike out in the world
and make his own fortune. As he is
only about 14 years of age, and was
not fitted out specially for the purpose
of battling with this stern world, his
parents are naturally anxious to learn
of his whereabouts. When he left home
he had a few cents in his pocket, which
went for bread and cake before leaving
town. Prom here he walked to the vi•
cinity of Centralia, and there secured a
couple of day's employment with a Mr,
Baldwin, Limerick Road, McGillivray,
and was there on the 23rd of May, but
left there ostensibly for London, since
which time no trace of him has been
discovered. Mr. Whitely was able to
follow him this fat, hut has no further
information of his whereabouts; He is
