There are many people nowadays
that do not really know how to oil or
keep a bicycle in good condition, For
most cyclists the following receipt will
be noeful; TQ clean a chain properly
it should be put in coal oil to cut stiff
grease; then clean with gasoline. It
should then be immersed in a pan of hot
vaseline with graphite mixed into it
until it is black, working the chain
around so the grease gets into the
joints, and allow it to dry until cold.
This oiling lasts a long time,
On September 28rd next, the reign
of Her Majesty the Queen will be long
er than the reign of any other soverign
who ever sat on the throne. The long-
est previous reign was that of George
III, who reigned 59 years and 110 days
-though for the last nine or tengyears
of his reign, he was incapacitated by
insanity and the throne was really oc-
cupied by his son the Prince Regent.
On September the 23rd Queen Victoria
will have reigned 59 years and 111
days. May she be spared for many a
day more.

Direct Shipment. •
Would it not be profitable to farmers
if they would .combine, and getting
some reliable man to act on a commis-
sion, ship their apples direct to Great
Britain ? A Perth county dispatch
says: " A number of farmers who
have large orchards intend shipping
their apples direct to the Old Country,
and expect to realize double the price
paid here,"
A Pertinent question..
Do you owe the ADVOCATE one ' or
two dollars .for the paper ? If you do,
remember there are hundreds on our
list as negligent as you are, and that
in the aggregate the averages amount
to thousands of dollars. Every sub-
scription ought to be paid a year in ad-
vance, instead of one or two or three
years behind. Now that the harvest is
nearly housed, call and pay or 'remit by
mail.

great offer without a loss, but we are

Al Canadian Wins
Word was received from Pitlochry,
Scotland, on Sept. 5th, announcing the

Ont., had won the world's Caledonia

way is a brother of the Rev. D. Perrie,
recently Nissouri's Presbyterian minis-
ter) and the Scotchman, G. H. Johnstone
of Aberdeen, Mr.Perrie defeating John-
stone in four out of seven events. Two
new records were established, John-

ting the twenty-two pound shot 37 feet

Death of Dinah Brown. .
The sad intelligence of the death of
Mr. Hugh Brown was received here on
Tuesday afternoon last from Douglass,
Man, Deceased left here on the har-
vest excursion about a month ago and
while there was taken suddenly ill
from a severe attach of dysentery from
which he never recovered, gradually
growing worse until death relieved
him on Tuesday. The remains will be
brought home in charge of Mr. Alex.
Dow, and will be interred in the Exeter
cemetery. Mr. Brown was a member
in good standing of the I, C. F. and his
brethren and many friends will learn
with deep regret of his demise. He
leaves to mourn his death a wife and
three daughters who have the sym-
pathy of all in their sad trial of afflict-
ion.
Of interest to Clergymen.
There is an impression among some
clergyman at least that the new regis-
ter furnished them under the recent
Act for the Solemnization of Marriages,
dispenses with the necessity of making
,the usual report to the municipal clerk
of the marriages they may perform.
This is nut so. Sec. 20 of chap. 17, re-
enacts sec. 13 of chap. 40 of the Revised
Statutes. which requtred this registra-
tion, reading as follows: "Every
clergyman. minister, or other person
authorized by law to celebrate marri-
ages, shall report every marriage
he celebrates to the registrar of the di-
vision within which the marriage is
celebrated, within thirty days from the
date of the marriage, with the particu-
lars required in the form provided un-
der this Act."

The New Marriage Law
A Woodstock paper publishesa para-
graph regarding an Ingersoll young
man who called on a Woodstock license
issuer and asked him if is was not with-
in the power of the license seller to give
him a license. The young man' said
that his intended lived in Stratford, and
he desired to avoid publicity either in
Ingersoll or Stratford. He was told
that the rule was cast iron, and that
the only way be could get a license
would be to bring his intended down
from Stratford The 'license issuer,
evidently., is not posted in his business.
It is not necessary that the bride ap-
pear before him. The Act requires only
one of the parties to appear before the
person issuing the license. The bride
is not called upon to appear, unless the
groom will not. She must subscribe
and declare' to certain particulars, but
may do so before any person authorized
to receive statutory declarations, and,
if she wishes, in the privacy of her own
home.
Floods—Crocker.
It is always a pleasure to note the
advent of an Exeter girl from maiden-
hood—fancy free—into Hymen's para-
dise. On Wednesday afternoon the resi-
dence of Mr. Richard Crocker, John st.,
was the sane of a most pleasant event
being the wedding' of his daughter
Miss Alice Louise, to Mathew Floody, of
Blyth. The knot was tied by Rev,.
Willoughby in the presence of a num-
ber of the contracting parties most inti-
mate friends from l3lyth, London and
other plaees.The groom was'assisted by
the bride's brother, Mr, Roger Crocker,
of Toronto, while the duties of the
bridesmaid were performed by Miss
Maggie Floody, sister of the groom,
Presents of rare value and beauty wore
received by the bride, among which
was a hadsome gold watch from the
bridegroom. The happy couple .left
a
lase evening; on their honeymoon trip
to Niagara Falls and other places, and
on their return will make Blyth their
home. The ADVOCATE joins their
many friends in wishing the newly
wedded couple a long and useful, with
continuous prosperity.

When Will People Learn?
Deli Reporter: Two men have been
going from house to house, canvass-
ing for photos to enlarge in crayon—
for nothing l—and are obtaining quite
a number of orders. One lady after
signing an order, read the duplicate,
when she found she was to get the pic-
ture but would have to take a frame,
paying therefor more than the picture
and frame were worth. She hunted
the canvassers up and compelled them
to cancel the order or she would expose
them. In all probability these orders
will turn up as notes. When will peo-
ple learn that they cannot get some-
thing for nothing ? Don't give any-
one
nyone an order, excepting to get.a valu-
able consideration for nothing. You
will surely get left. m These men said
they were working for a Simeoe house
Stand by ' by •IZ our Own Town..
We may honestly differ in matters of
politics, religion and of medicine, but
there is no,room for any difference of
opinion in the matter of the plain duty
of every citizen to stand by home in-
stitutions. Patronize home industries,
should be the motto. Let everybody
with a dollar to spend remember every
cent spent at home helps to swell the
volume of currency in the local channel
of trade, and every intereet in the town
and every dweller in it is benefitted by
the impetus given so local trade by
plenty of money freely circulated.
One dollar in the course of a day pays
many dollars of debt, and every dollar
taken from the trade of your town and
spent to swell the currency of another
is a direct blow to home interest. The
prosperity of each is bound up in the
prosperity of all, and no individual can
escape his share of responsibility for
the result, To criticise the methods of
those who are, trying to advance .home
interests is not as conducive to good as
to take off one's own coat and put a
shoulder to the wheel and all push to-
gether. Stand by 'home industries,
patronize home merchants, and be
willing that all shall receive a fair
profit for their labor. Society is ':'
partnership of interests in which all
are entitled to receive a share of the
profits, and in advancing the common
welfare, the day laborer and the money
lender, are alike -under obligations to do
their share according to their ability,
