For some time past detectives haye been on the lookout for one Thed. Merrifield, who about three weeks ago was in the village of Dashwood clean- ing, tuning and repairing organs etc., and while there borrowed a bicycle from Mr. Hoffman, promising to return' it the same eveniug. Not returning at the stated time Mr. Hoffman got a warrant out for his arrest and as above stated detectives have been on his trail ever since. Since his arrest he tells the story that he got drunk at Shipka and was compelled to lie down beside the road, and while there the wheel was stolen; but without a doubt he sold it, for while at Shipka he tried to sell it to Mr. Jas. Hannon. After leaving Shipka he went to Windsor, from there to Stratford and thence to his home in Mitchell where he was arrested. The chief of police nottfied chief Gill here of of the arrest, who drove over early Sun• day morning- and brought him here for trial; but on paying the price of the bicycle and costs, which was done by his poor mother, he was released. It seems Merrifield is a w reckless char actor and an inebriate, has good fam- ily connections and a short time ago they endeavored to make a man of him by' getting him to undergo the gold cure, but it was all of no ayail, he would net remain long enough to receive any benefit, JOHNSTON'S CLOTHING a1 CLEARING PRICES' • MEN'S SUITS $3.50 - GOOD TWEEDASUITS $4.50 $ 8 TWEED SUITS for $6.50 $10 TWEED SUITS for $8.00 LADIES VESTS, 5 Cts, 10 cts and up. 5-ct factory cotton for 3 cents. 8 -et factory cotton for 5 cents. 10•c factory cotton for 8 cents.

Once more it is our sad duty to chronicle the demise of one of Exeter's most respected citizens—we refer to the late Mrs. Mary Ching Templeton, who answered her Master's call on Thursday, June 6th, 1895. The deceased was born near Exeter, Devon Co., England, Dee. 23rd, 1821, emigrating to Canada in the year 1842 and was joined in holy bonds of matrimony to E. B. Tem- pleton on July 18th, 1844, the ceremony was performed by Henry C. Cooper, (Church of England) Missionery of Us - borne, in the old log house which once stood on the premises now owned by Mrs. Braund, facing Main and William Streets, and at that time was the home of :las Ching, (deceased), Mrs. Temple - ton's father. Mr, Templeton was born in the city of London, Eng., and died in Kincardine Ont., Sept. 27th, 1881, at the age of 62 years. After his de. mise Mrs. Templeton moved to Exeter and resided in thea little cottage on Gidley Street, for 13 years—up to the time of her demise. The subject of our sketch was one of the sweetest and dear- est old ladies that ever lived in Exeter, She was of a most cheerful disposition and if she ever had any trouble on her mind no one would know it as all her clouds had a silver lining. She was a strict adherent to the Methodist Church. and lived and died a Christian. Suck was the life of Mrs. Templeton that those who bad the pleasure of her ac- quaintance, will remember her kind words of advice all through life's jour- ney. She was the mother of six child- ren—one son—Edward Henry—who died at Kincardine, Sept 22nd 1577 at the age of 20 years; and five daughters survioe her—Mrs, Alining, of Kincer,- dine, Mrs. W. G. Collins, of Watford; Hattie, who lived with her mother, here; Mrs. W. J. White, and Mrs. Peterson, both of Brandon, Man, The ADVOCATE extends heartfelt sympathy to the be. reeved family and frieeds in this their sad affliction. Locals continued on front page, FIRE !
