" Chesley has put on a fee of $50 for a cigarette license. Why not the Exeter Council cops, their example? This exorbitailt fee would prevent the tak- ing out of a license and thus put a stop to so many youngsters indulging in the very injurious habit. His many friends will regret to learn that Mr. C. W.

We understand the Exeter Turf Club has about closed a • dual with Messrs, Dow & Tennant to lease the twenty- five acres of ground south of the Agri- cultural grounds for the purpose of building a new race track. This is a suitable piece of ground and will make a splendid half mile track. A well posted agricultural paper says: —It is believed that prices of horses will advance in the near future. There are indications that the bottom has been reached. The feeling among horse growers is somwbat more hopeful. The necessity for tbe consideration of quali- ty in horse- breeding is generally ac- knowledged The Trivitt Memorial Church bell- ringers participated in an oyster supper, followed by a very enjoyable time at tbe residence of Mr. L.

The following resolutions were unani- mously passed :—Tbat we as Patrons assembled at our annual county meet- ing, call the attention of the Tariff Commission for the Dominion that they are expected to fulfil the pledges made to the people when in Opposition and request that they at once proceed to place on the free lists, corn, coal oil, all wire for fencing purposes, all farming implements and binder twine, also the abolition of the Senate. and the aboli- tion of the rnaintenenceof Government house .and free passes to members of Parliament.

For the past 20 years ministers and doctors have sent their returns of regis- tration of births, deaths and marriages. to the municipal clerks free of postage. Postmaster General Murlock's recent decision regarding matters which may gp through the mails free cuts off this privilege, and in future all registration sent through the mails will have to pay postage. Tourists will be pleased to learn that a joint stock company has been organ- ized to build a modern summer hotel at Bayfield during the present year. The hotel will have seventy six bed- rooms and every accommodation will be provided in the way of paviliions, ice cream parlors, bathrooms, etc. There will be about eight acres of ground. Several boys appeared before Magis- trate Snell on Monday morning, charg- ed with disturbing the peace at the residence of Mr. Donald. Taylor, on Wednesday night of last week. The marriage ceremony of • his daughter. was going on at the time and the boys took it into their heads to charivari the newly wedded couple. Much to their chagrin they each had to" whack up" fifty cents or serve twenty-one. days, in pail.; They all preferred . the former. The Goderich Signal says;—Wednes- day it was discovered that the treasur • er of the A. 0. F. had left town the day before, and that some 0185 that should have been in the bank to the credit of the society :was missing. It appears that on Tuesday the treasurer got a rig at Swartz's to go to Goderich town- ship but that Swartz heard no more of it till he heard from Lucan at noon Tuesday that the rig was there. The supposition is that the absent one is i cle Sam. on 'a visit to U r A few all wool freire overcoats—well hued, $4.60, at Johnston's. The Jarvis Concert. The much anticipated Jarvis concert is past, and to say that it was a huge success is to put.it very mildly indeed. The committee is to he congratulated upon the outcome of the undertaking for it was certainly at a great risk that they undertook to bring such high class and expensive artists to °t small town like Exeter, but the result shows that the people of this town are not lacking in their appreciation of true artistic merit and ability. The hall was comfortably filled with the elete of Exeter, and the surrounding coun• try. Never before has a more appre- ciative audience greeted a celebrated artist in this town than that which so enthusiastically encored the efforts of Mr. Jarvis on Wednesday evening. Mr. Jarvis was in fine voice, and his rieh powerful and resonant tonus filled every part of the hall. They thrilled the listeners in a way that only the best artists of the age could do. Mr. Jarvis' handsome .presence and free, yet cultured, manner added much to his popularity. To Madame Wall, too, fell no small portion of the good graces of the audience. In this her first ap- pearance before the people of Exeter, she aroused pleasureable emotions which will not soon be forgotton. The universal verdict is that Madame Wall is the happy possessor of the 'sweetest', and most powerful soprano voice that has been heard in this town for many years. Mis Fisher also succeeded in captivating her audience. She has a natural unaffected manner. which is qnite charming. She is alike master of the humorous and the pathetic side of human nature, and appeared to sway the emotions of her hearers at will. The high reputation of our local. pianists was ably sustained by the Misses. Johns in their piano duet, and. by Miss Maud Hicks in her skillful accompaniments. All the entertainers were exceedingly generous, and fre- quently responded to the exacting de- mands of a delighted house. The peoplepof: Exeter will not soon forget the Jarvis concert, and a most cordial welcome is assured any of these artists should they again visit our town. sionary Society of the. Exeter district was held in the Main Street. Methodist Church on Thursday. Three sessions were held, at which papers were read by Mrs. D. Cobbledick, of Clandeboye; Mrs, A. C. Attwood, of Vannock; Mrs. W. R. Elliott, of Centralia; Mies W. P. Charlton, of Ilderton ; Mrs. Welsh, of Hensel', and other ladies, all of whom were listened to with marked atteution and interest by the audience. At the evening session, Miss Cartnell, as re- turned missionary from Japan, gave a very instructive and interesting talk on the tnission work in that country. The Main Street Methodist choir sup- plied the music for the occasion. Alto- gether the convention was a very suc- cessful one, and the enthusiasm of the ladies in their work was greatly arous- ed. Indian Pontine rand. Following is the list of contributions received by the Molsons Bank for the Indian Relief Fund during the past week viz:—Miss Reid 81; H.
