The Exeter Woollen Mills is the place to go for underwear, blankets, stock- ingyarn, etc Cheapest and best place in town to buy all kinds of woolleas, Ye Editor, Editing a paper is a nice business. If we publish a ,joke, people say we are rattle -headed. If we publish original matter, they say we don't give 'em enough selections. If we give 'em se- lections, we are too lazy to write. If we give a man a puff;" we are partial. If we compliment the ladies, men are jealous. If we don't we are publishing a paper not fit to make a bustle of. If we remain in our office, we are too proud to mingle with the "common herd." If we are on the street, we are not attending to our business. If we wear good clothes, we don't pay for 'em. Now, what shall we do? Some may say we stole this from an ex- change—and we did, Andrews—Gould. Cupid works quietly but most surely and this week scores another victory which results in Exeter losing another of its fair citizens, the contracting par- ties being Arthur Andrews, of Pontiac, Mich., and. Miss Kate J. Gould, daugh- ter of the late John Gould, The cere- mony was performed at the residence of the bride's mother, Main Street, in the presence of a few invited guests, by the Rev. Dr. Willoughby. The bride was attired in a travelling suit and looked charming indeed. Little Myrie Gould, daughter of Mr. James Gould and cousin of the bride, acted as maid of honor, while there was no best man or bridesmaid. At the conclusion of the ceremony and the usual congrat- ulations tendered, a dainty wedding breakfast was served, after which the happy couple were driven to the station whore they took the early morning train and left for their home in Pontiac, Mich. The bride was popular and the well wishes of a large circle of friends follow her to her new home. A Great Entertainment.

Talmie, of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Windsor, is not afraid to speak his mind on the great social problems of the day, No doubt his ideas ori card playing, dancing, ete., are not in conformity with the average min- isterial .mind and will prove a shock to their supposed better moral teachings, yet we append them and leave our readers to judge: " Some people de pounce all forms of amusemement and after a talk with them a man feels like taking a walk in the cemetery to brace up his spirits. No amusement that is not per se wrong should be condemed. No moral quality is attached to either card playing' or dancing. Of them- selves they are neither right or wrong, and if men and women want to dance and play cards let them do so, having a care, however, not to spend too much of their time that might be more profit- ably employed. The game of billiards is one of the very best that a man can play. It is easily the most scientific of all games. Walking around the tables gives the necessary physieial exorcise and handling the que trains the eye and steadies the hand. If there is a game that should be open to Christian young men it is billiards, and it is a crying shame that the devil is being allowed to appropriate an amusement on which the seal of the church should be placed. I would favor having an institution in connection with this church where the young men who wor• ship here on Sunday could come any week night and spend a pleasant hour in a game of billiards or some other innocent amusements. There are croak- ers who say• that billiards, dancing, cards and kindred forms of enjoyment are wrong, but let the croaker croak ; these things are innocent and harmless as long as they are 'kept free from im- pure associations." Mitchell : On Tuesday word reached hare that Elizabeth C., yougest daugh- ter of Mr. James C. Dow, Stratford,who was for many years a resident of Mitchell, died at her parents' home from typhoid fever. Mitchell: Richard Broughton died. at his residence on Sunday afternoon from the effect of a paralytic stroke a few days ago. He had a stroke about three, years ago, from which be never recov- ered. He has hved in Mitchell several years, coming from Brantford where his friends reside. He leaves a widow and five of a family to mourn the loss of a husband and father. The funeral took place at Brantford Wednesday. Hensall: Mr. Alex, McKinnon of Tucitersmi.ih, has purchased from Mr. FrodQDaters, of Hay, a heavy draught gelding, not yet six months old, and which weighs 910 lbs.

Steer, aged 87, died Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock at the House of Refuge, Perth, whither she was sent from Hibbert, on January 2nd, being the first inmate of the House. The body was removed by friends to Mitchell, and interred in Salem bury ing ground, Hibbert. She had a daugh- ter in Mitchell and one in Winnipeg. Death was caused by a paralytic stroke the fatal one being the third the old lady has experienced since herarrival. Parkhill Gazette : " Many in town and neighborhood were shocked to hear of the death of Mr. Donald P. Gillies of the 28th con., East Williams. He took ill a few days ago when on his way home from Manitoba, where he had been spending a few weeks visit- ing the country. The funeral took place on Friday. A large number of the Oddfellows of Iyy Lodge, of which he was a member, attened, and the re- mains were interred with the burial rites of the order. A ;short service conducted by Revs. Messrs.

St. Marys: What might have been serious fire took place at the residence of Mr R. Skinner, early Friday morn- ing. It appears that Joseph Skinner rose at about 5 o'clock and it is sup- posed the bed clothes were ignited while he was lighting the lamp. The fire was first noticed by Mrs. Herman and she gave the alarm. Mrs. Skinner was alone with the children and being unable to open the door on account of the smoke, she ran outside and broke the glass with her hand in order to get water into the room. In doing so she cut her hands badly.
