Should be Destroyed.
The Dry Goods Review protests
against keeping; in circulatiou worn
out coins and bank bilis dirty and rag-
ged with age, As the Review says, we
cannot expect the evil to be remedied by
trades refusing to accept the currency;
the merchant is too glad to got money of
any kind. But the banks and the Do-
minion officials might do more in the
way of the destruction of worn notes.
The appearance of some of the Domin-
ion notes in circulation would indicate
the belief that the bit of paper possessed
some intrinsic value, and that its de-
struction would be a national„ loss, a
calamity is to be averted as soon as
possible. We don't know exactly how
much it costs the country to manufac-
ure :>. note, but it is not enough to off-
set ..he danger of allowing tilthy and
diseased bills to circulate.
Methodist Concert.
The Methodist denomination have
every reason to congratulate them•
selves over the success of their enter-
tainment in the James Street Church
on Monday evening last, The weather
was somewhat inclement, but it did not
prevent a large and appreciative audi-
ence from being in attendance. The
program consisted of solos, duets,quar
tetts and choruses. The singing of
Miss Case, of Loudon, who took part in
the Sunday services, was well received
and all were highly delighted with the
performance of the various parties
whose names appeared on the program.
The violin solo by Miss Eunice Eacrett,
of Sarnia, was of a very high order.
Her playing was really sublime and
drew forth loud applause, as did also
the organ recital by the Rev. E. W.
Hunt. The Rev. Geo. Jackson occu-
pied the chair in a satisfactory manner,
fhe ladies deserve the highest com-
mendation for the success of the affair.
The proceeds amounted to $48, which
when included with the three opening
services,tea meeting,and social amount"
ed in all t'o about $580.
Firemen's Concert.
Without any exaggeration we may
safely say that the Firemen's concert
given in Drew's Hall, Thursday even-
ing of last week, was the best ever
held here. H. Ruthven McDonald
was a whole entertainment in himself.
He took the audience by storm and roars
of applause greeted his every appear-
ance and when assisted by W. E. Ccilins,
of London, and such local talent as Miss
Nellie Davidson, Mrs. Billings and Rev.
E. W. Hunt, it is needless to say that
the affair was a most gratifying sue -
cess. W. Lyne, of London, surprised his
old friends by his splendid exhibition
of club swinging with a pair of glitter-
ing clubs which made a very attract-
ive spectacle. and for which he reeeie-
ed continued applause. Tho David-
son orchestra was present. and render-
ed some excellent music. Dr. Rollins
lied the chair in his usual efficient
anner, making a capital hit in his
perking remarks in divulging (?) the
eerets of the three degrees of the Fire -
en. Considering' tee whole it was
he unanimous opinion that the con-
ert broke the record for excellence of
ny heretofore held in town and the
iremen are to be congratulated on
s most brilliant success.

the reader, she is sure to find some tit-
bit just suited to her taste. In connec
tion with the household there are prac-
tical articles on Cookery, Interior
Decorations, etc , etc. When in addition
one sees the four exquisite colored
lithographs showing the latest styles

articles, one fails to see what the pub-
lishers gain by selling such a superior
paper at the low price of ten cents.
There died at the family residence,
Andrew Street, on Saturday last, one
of Exeter's oldest residents, in the per-
son of Catharine Smith, aged 70 years
and 11 months. Deceased has been a
long sufferer from paralysis. About
three years ago she received a severe
stroke, from which she nes-er recover
ed, and again about three weeks ago
received another, which was the ins
mediate cause of death. She has been
a resident of Exeter for about ten years,
coming here from Hillsgreen. Her re
mains were taken to Hilisereen on
Monday, and there interred beside her
husband who died shortly after moving
here. She leaves a grown-up family
of five daughters and two sons.
A very important decision has been
given in the Appeal Court at Toronto,
connected with promissory notes. The
case was between Postmaster Elford, of
.:ssex, and S. Collison, banker, Leam-
ington. The latter held a note for
$7,000, indorsed by Elford, and Collison
did not notify hiin of its maturity for
pix years and eleven months, but re
newed negotiations with the giver..
Had the note ran for another month it
would have been outlawed. The As
size Court ruled a,gainat Elford, but the
decision has been reversed by the high
er court with costs on the defendant.
The decision declares that if a man in-
dorses a note and the giver of the note
fails to pay it, the indorser is not re-
sponsible if negotations on the note
have been renewed_ with the indorser's
knowledge between the holder aad the
giver of the note.
A young man named Henry Hern.

1895, after ransacking his house, hitch-

tried to trade the entire rig with one
