At a recent county institute, the in- spector askedteachers who took local papers to hold up their hands, and out of one hundred present only six re- sponded. Thereupon he said: "You don't spend one dollar with these pa- pers yet you expect them to print free oocharge, notices of institute, take full reports, advertise you and your ability in your chosen profession, assisting you to climb the :adder to higher positions and better salaries, without a cent's patronage in return. You also think that if he does not visit your school and exploit your methods and the pro- gress your scholars are making, which is to your manifest personaladvantage that be is derelict to duty,never stop- ping to think that you are starving him all you can, and he owes you noth- ing, as his newspaper is a private con cern and every kindness hi a generous gift" He closed by saying: "Your conduct would lead rare, were 1 an edi- tor of one of those papers. to promptly throw into the waste basket any com- munications sent me by any society, the members of which were too proud and too sting to sustain the stingy pap .r, or if I inserted it to'demand full adver- ar Using rates forever line inserted." .,Y I co I Mr. Henry Walder, of WQodstoek, has leased the Metropolitan Uotsi ti,nd. is about to take possession. The dynamo used for running the street lamps got out of repair last Mon- day night but is again in operation, The Ladies of the Trivitt Memorial Church are busy preparing elaborate decorations for the Harvest Tharksgiv.. ing services next week, Weather„ prognosticators say that September is to be the warmest month of the season, ,Wo trust they may bo estray in their prophecy The London Free Press says. --"Mr. Louis Waiper, proprietor of the Arling- ton Hotel, Woodstock, has been fined $20 and costs for selling liquor within prohibited hours. Mr. Joseph Bawdeu has an acre field of turnips that is a credit to the culti- vator. He challenges any farmer in the the Township of Usborue to beat it. Bring along your turnips. Mr, John Hawkshaw threshed thir- teen acres of oats on Monday last, which averaged 77 bushels to the acre, Apparently Mr. Hawkshaw, hasn't for- gotten the way to farm yet, Anew post -office has been established in Blanshard about two miles out of St. Marys called Rannock, with Mr. H. Jamieson as postmaster. This will be another office on Mr. Spicer's route, On Friday last while Mr. James Airth was on his way to visit his son •in Us - borne, he was overcome by the heat, and but for the timely assistance of a friend the result might have proved serious. A total eclipse of the moon will be visable in Canada on Tuesday night next, Sept. Brd.

Manning who came here about three years ago and engag- ed in the butcher business for some time, buying out Mr. J. E. Bedard has removed to Exeter his former home,"— Ridgetown Plaindealer. A. most remarkable freak of nature was handed us the other day by Mr, Wm Slee. It was a medium sized cucumber, resembling a young chicken with a well shaped head and body. It is really a peculiar specimen. Inspector Tom, of Goderich, was taken suddenly ill here on Thursday and was compelled to remain with his parents till Saturday morning, in a very indisposed condition. He left for his home Saturday somewhat improved but far from being well. Edward Bowers, convicted of the manslaughter of William Cain, in Btd- dulph township last fall, will be releas- ed from Kingston Penitentiary on Sep- tember 10. Bowers was sentenced to. five years, but as his was an exception- al case, a pardon was granted. The case of assault coming from the township of Stephen, in which Thomas and Metcalf Anderson were charged with beating Michael Hunsicker, came before Judge Doyle on Friday last. No case was made out against the son, Metcalf Anderson, but the• father was found guilty of common assault and let go on suspended sentence. Rev. Mr. Ridley, of Galt, being un able to come to Exeter for Sunday a change has been made whereby the anniversary will be separated from the Harvest Thanksgiving Services. The Rector will preach Anniversary Ser- mons on Sunday next and the Harvest Thanksgiving Services will be held to- morrow week, Sept. 6th when several of the Deanery will be present and give addresses. Complaints are being made of boys who are making a practice of destroy- ing garden products. From one lot several boys were seen to pull some citrons from a garden sand wilfully throw them over the fence. They no doubt thought the citrons were water- melons, hence their wanton act. Boys who are in the habit of doing such tricks should be severely dealt with, in fact they will be if found in the act again.. . A watch' keeps time, choristers beat time, the clock strikes time, trains run on time, horses run against timepeo- ple threaten to do things on time if they get time, at a prize fight they call time, soldiers mark time, everybody tries to kill time, and perhaps it is. time you were paying us for the time we have been sending you the Anyo OATS.

The proceeds are . to be placed in the band fund for the pur- chase of new music and other expenses and a :good turnout is expected from the citizens. Our band is now in very good shape and it is the duty of every citizen to render all the assistance they possibly can. All entries are to be made with the president on or before Aug 31st. Every body come, it will help the band along. Huron County 0, E. Convention. The programs for the 4th annual convention of Huron County C. E.

A horse belonging to Dr. Amos got badly tangled up while standing in front of the office Monday and lit the confusion one of the shafts of the buggl' was broken. Our road commissioner, Mr. James Creech deserves great credit for the manner in whieh be is improving our main street. Mr. Creech seems to be the right man in the right place, "The town dry wood stores now close at 6.80 except Saturday evenings. This certainly is a move in the right direc- tion, It is hoped that during next sea, son these stores will be closed not mile - at 6 o'clock each evening but that a half holiday will be given each week."

A. STEWART In the September number of the De lineator which is called the Autumn. Announcement Number, the display of fashions for the coming season is ex- ceptioeally large, and the styles are handsome enough to suit the most ex- acting taste. The issue is also notable for the variety and quality of its read- ing matter. Subseription price of the Delineator is $1.00per year or 15c leper single copy. Address all communica- tions to the Delineator Publishing Co. of Toronto, Limited, `38 Richmond St. West, Toronto, Out. To Dom Owners. Dodgers are out warping all those who have not yet paid their dog tax to "do so at once or legal proceedings will be taken to collect same. It would be well for those who have not eomplied with the law to do so at once and save trouble, To Distant Subscribers. The Mitchell Recorder prints the fol• lowing notice, which will also apply to ADVOCATE subscribers: .If our distant subscribers cannot make out from the label on their papers the amount they are owing in arrears we will haveto print the amount itself on the wrapper, as we cannot afford to send out dunners by post every year on such small sums. Will our subscribers living at distant points please send its, without any fur- ther pressing, the money they are ow- ing us? Postoitice Hours. It is a question with many ofour readers as to the proper time to post letters so that they may not be delayed in the mails. and we take pleasure in furnishing the desired information. In the morning all matter for Toronto. nr points east of Toronto and all offices north of Exeter, should be posted not later than 9 o'clock, For London and south of Exeter, not later than S o'clock in the morning or 4.45 in the evening The Dashwood and Sarepta mail are made up at this office at 5:40 p. m. The St. Marys mail arrives at about 6.80 p. m; and leaves as soon thereafter as the mails can be made up. Those who are not aware of the above facts should paste this in their hat. A Monstrous Monopoly. The Mitchell Advocate truly hits the nail on the head in the following: -The Canadian Express Co. seems to cniege just what it pleases for the carrying of goods, and yet when an opposition line started a few years ago, that would have the effect of breaking the monop- oly, the government refused to grant, the necessary charter. Opposition in every other line of business seems to be qnite kgitirnate, but a monopoly such as the Canadian Express Co, roust not be interfered with 1 Why this is so is a thing that the public can't undernstand. They have the right, however, to pro- tection from exhorbttaitt charge, and we hope when the House next meets that same member will move in the mattter. As an instance of their out- rageous charges. A business man in town received a 40e, artile from Tor- onto • through the express office the other day on which he had to pay a carrying fee of 45c. On Monday 8,000 envelopes reached us through the satire medium from the Sante cite and we had to put up 50 cents, Many similar iit. stances could be given on exhorbitant rates, but these suffice to prove: our ease. Such a monopoly is a disgrace to Canada and should not be allowed to exiet a day. Mr. W.
