LOCAL JOTTINGS.
An exciting runaway took place
about 7.80 Tuesday morning. The
horse was hitched to John McInnis'
milk wagon and driven by Thos. Col-
lingwood. It started near Mr. Follick's
Baker shop and continued at a lively
pace up Main St. turning westward on
Gidley St., when the wagon came in.
contact with a shade tree in front of
Atkinson's residence, corner of Gidley
and Carling Sts,' breaking the shaft
and otherwise damaging the vehicle
Milk made a drop.
Our streets had a very quiet appear-
ance on Monday, in fact a cannon ball
could have been shot up Main St., with
out coming in contact with man or
beast. While a large number followed
the Citizens' band to Centralia many
went to Grand Bend and spent the day
at that popular summer resort -Grand
Bendrark-owned by our enterprising
townsman Mr. John Spackman, on the
breezy shores of Lake Huron. We are
informed that Mr. Spackman aceomo
dated fully 3000 people during the
day.
In answer to a letter of inquiry
written by W. H. Ryan, Grey Co., Ont..
asking the name and habits of the
moths which are so numerous in this
and other places at present, the Farm-
er's .Advocate has this to say, -"They
are very numerous in al! parts of the
Western peninsula of Ontario Pro
vinee this season. This insect appears
the middle of May in the form of a grub
loseiy resembling the cut -worm; in
fact, it is classed among cut worms. It
severs by night the young succulent
shoots of curranee roses, etc. It is le
inches long, of brownish or livid eolor
having a chestnut -colored head and a
hornoy Spot of the same hue on top of
neck and of last segment of body.
Burying itself for about a month, a
moth comes out from the middle of
June to July 1st, Its fore wings are
rUsty red, clouded with gray and black

Several young ladies of town :who
attempted to "have a tinge" an Monday
without a male escort, got "into the
soup" or at least into the ditch on their
return home from Grand Bend Park.
Mr. --•--- who does not live 1000 miles
from Exeter very kindly assisted theta
to terra firma and home. He reached
his own home in safety next morning.
The London Advertiser has this to
Say of a foriner pastor of the Main St
Methodist chureh:-"'Rev. J. R. Gundy
for three years pastor of the Welling
ton Street Methodist Church, delivered
farewell sermons to his congregation
on Sunday, Next Sunday he will take
charge of his new post in Windsor one
of the most important in the London
Conference, During his labors here
Mr. Gundy greatly advanced the Wel-
lington Street Church, and his remov-
al figm the city will be regretted not
only by his congregation but the com-
munity generally."
S. 11. Agricultural'society.
A meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the. South Hurou Agricultur-
al Society was held in the Commercial
Hotel, Hensall, on Friday afternoon
last. There was a good turnout of the
members. Business in connection with
the fall fair to be held in Exeter next
September engaged the attention of
the meeting.
Exeter Council Proceedings.
The council met by order of the
Reeve at the Town Hall, Exeter, 29th.
,lune. All present, Minutes of prev-
ious meeting read and confirmed.
Carling -Taylor that the Reeve and
Treasurer be authorized to burrow
$1000 on the credit of this corporation,
-Carried. The reward for the detec-
tioa of incendiarism was cancelled,
The council adjourned until the 5th
July. M. Eacrett, Clerk,
Entirely False.
The following is going the round of
the press: -"Mrs. A, Grant, of Biddulph
mother of Mr. J. W. Grant, of Parkhill,
who was committed to Central Prison
from London recently for six months
for appropriating $5000 belonging to
the Rank of Commerce to his own use,
died soon after learning of her son's
sentence and was buried at Granton."
This is utterly untrue. Mrs. A. Grant
has been deceased for some years and
the Mrs. Grant who died recently was
the wife of William Grant, whose only
son William resides on the homestead
north of Granton.
"Yo Olde English Fayre."
On Friday and Saturday evenings of
last week the unique entertainment
under the above heading was held to
a successful close, both financially and
otherwise, on the rectory grounds by
the King's Daughters of the Church of
England. The Fayre was under the
supervision of Rev, and Mrs. Hunt, and
how well the management succeeded-
socially, is known and appreciated' by
the hundre1s who were present. From
ye grand march of ye folks in
costume to the ye Grey Friars' concert
and ye dance around ye' Maypole by
ye little maydens, the whole was, one
round of amusements and no one was
beard to regret that they, spent their
ha'pence and farthings at ye olde Eng-
lish Fair. Proceeds amounted to over
$150.
Death of William Dempsey.
Death is no respector of persons and
the young as well as the old fall a
prey to its awful ravages. This great
truth bas been truly manifest in the
death of our respected friend William
Dempsey, who departed this life yester-
day (Wednesday) at the early age of
21 years, 4 months and 5 days. De-
ceased bad been ailing since his return
from Manitoba, a little over a year ago
and though at times he was apparently
better, his disease, which was of a pul-
monary nature, was making fatal pro
gress and he was steadily waning in
strength. One can scarcely mourn
that death has released him from the
sufferings he endured after it became
certain that he could not play a useful
part in life's battlefield. "Will" as he
was familiarly called, was born in Us -
borne township in 1.874, and at the age
of about 14 he commenced to serve an
apprebticeship as a typographer with
Mr. Geo, Moir, and being of a clever
nature he soon acquired .a thorough
knowledge of the art. After remain-
ing here for several years he went to
Brandon, Man., where he worked on the
Sun up to the time he came home. The
funeral will take place from hie father's
residence to morrow (Friday.) The
bereaved family have the sympathy of
the community.
Canada's Favorite Fair.
We are in receipt of the Western Fair
Prize List, reminding us of the dates,
September 12th to 2Lst, and showing
the London management to be still
alive to the country's interests. Some
people have a very wrong conception
of Fairs and their objects, thinking that
the Directors of these associations run
them for personal gain, this is not the
fact however, Fairs belong to the peo-
ple, and whatever good there is in them
or accrues from them is for the benefit
of the community as a whole, The.
Western Fair has marched steadily for-
ward since its inception in 1868 until
the present,and bears the stampof Intel
licence, industry,' in vention, wealth and
fashion, and largely indicates the finan
cial prosperity of the, province. It has
progressed and will still become more
and more popular (ss it justly merits)
so long as the Directors Continue to
maks it a live, progressive Exhibition,
Eyeryo'ne should aid iii home way,
either by being as exhibitor or as a
visitor, for the a•reater success the Fair
the greater the heriefrt to the peeple.
We strongly advise helping it along.
portant changes g
Many im
p h ores !lave been
made in he Prize list, which adds to
its useiuliness, and will be appreciated -
by the exhibitor. By request we say
any that e eony will be sent in appli-
cant , pp
by addressing Mr, Thomas A,
Browne, the Secretary, London.
The expense eonneetect with theex-
ecution of Chatelle did not exceed $40,.
:Keying has already commenced iu
this neighborhood. It will not be diili

Among the names of the largest class
of graduates ever sent out from the M -
ma College, St Thomas, we notice in the
elocutionary list the name of Miss
Laura Williams, daughter of Mr, John
Williams, of the Rollins & Williams
Milling Co., Exeter. Miss Williams'
many friends here and at her
home, Zurich, will' ° join with the
ADVOCATE in congratulating her on.
her success.

pices of the Citisens' Band on the A;-
ricultUial Driving Park. This is the

erable excitement over several 'entr`,ies
is at feyer heat. The programme
will consist of an open trot and a
and green trot. rhe latter will be a
most interesting; race as the entries
are from the Country and the farming
community will be well represented.
The atheleticsports consists of Boys race,
Egg race, Hurdle race and 100 -yd race.

Here is an interesting problem: A
boy 10 years of age has a little sister
who weighs 16 pounds, and he gets
tired of holding her in fiye minutes.
When he is twice as old, how long will
it take to get tired of holding some one
else's sister who weighs 125 pound.?
The Free Press, London, has this to
say of a former Pastor of James St. Meth-
odist Church: -Rev A. L. Russell, B.
D., the new pastor of Wellington Street
Church, has arrived here from Leam-
ington to begin his pastorate. Prev-
ious to leaving Leamington he was the
recipient of several addresses from the
congregation and church societies, all.
of which alluded to his work there as
being productive of good results.
The strawberry festival given under
the auspices of the`James St. Method-
ist Ladies Aid Last week, was a suc-
cess, not withstanding the threatening
weather. Supper was to have been
served on the Church lawn but the
afternoon rain made the grass wet and
the tables had to be removed to the
lecture room where the good thiugs
were served and ample justice done to
thein by the large number in attend-
ance.

A Cheeky Firm.
The editor of the Clinton News Re-
cord truly hits the nail on the head
when he says: "The- firm of Hambly
Bros,, Toronto, do not lack cheek, what-
ever else they may lack in other re.
spears. They are in the memorial
printing business and evidently have
an agent ip the various towns to warn
them ofthe death of any citizen. When
such a sad event occurs. promptly the
firm have the "thoughtfulness in re-
membering you in your affliction" and
solicit your order for a little printing
a t a high price, much higher than it
can be produced at home. If you
accept the sample and do not want
more, these city sharks ask for "15
cents for the trouble taken on your
behalf;" if not, the return of the card
is asked. "which will cost you one cent
for postage." The better wav for peo-
ple to do is to avoid sharks who sympa-
thise with you for the sole purpose of
gain. They prey upon your feelings
for no other purpose.
