The better the home places are supported the better t Abro.cate, will these places be enabled to cater to the wants of their customers. The larg- er any business man's ,purchasers are, the better will be his buying prices, and therefore the better will be his selling prices. Besides, the wider the town's business grows, sad the greater the volume of its trade becomes, the more the town will be benefited. More mon- ey will be spent in public itnproye- ments. The invested wealth in per- manent institutions will be increased. And thus the town will become pos- sessed of advantages which tend to make life easier and brighter for its inhabitants, The same can be said for the people of the surrounding cauutry-. The better the town the better for all concerned. We feel strongly on this matter. Support home institutions, is our motto, Build up iu the town. Tramp selfishness down. Let broad business principles prevail. Why should we in. this district support far -away rich cor- porations? We get our living here; let us spend our money here. We admire the loyalty of the man who says that he would rather pay 825 to a home mer, chant for a suit of clothes than $24 to some city establishment. This is the kind of spirit wo like to see and that is the spirit that will help to make our town equal to all the demands from all sour- ces. Eneonrage our home business men, and assist in puttiug our town on a solid foundation," Every local merchant is entitled to a share of his town's trade, and ought not to be asked to compete with big es tablishments hundreds of miles away' And in Exeter at least it is not nec- essary to pay more than you would abroad in order to patronize the local merchant, as has been proved by those who have been bitten by glittering "'bargains" iu distant cities. Chas. i3. Sanders, Editor and Prop THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, '98. CANADIAN BICYCLES. In this country the silent revolution wrought by the bicycle has been at- tended by the evolutiou, almost equal. ly rapid of a bicycle industry A la- bour-saving, time -saying machine, meeting a want felt by everybody, the wheel has made an important place for itself iu our economy, and is used to expedite the business or otherwise pro. shote the happiness of hundreds of thousands of Canadians every day. Most of these wheels, praztically all of the best of them, bear the stamp of a Canadian workshop,, They are the product of our own industry. Though from the nature of its usefulness the demand for the bicycle sprang up and expanded very rapidly, it was not al- lowed to get a long start on our manu- facturing enterprise. Warks were promptly established at various points+ large numbers of skilled mea were emploped, and Canadian bicycles were put on the market. In the meantime, and until the excellence of our own high-grade wheels became popularly recognized, European manufacturers had all our bicycle trade to themselves. But in the year 1896 the trade turned. The splendid work of our own factor- ies then began to tell upon the sales of their foreign competitors, and, as a re, suit, hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved for Canada every sear to the benefit of Canadian enterprise and Canadian labour. Not only did the Canadian manufacturers almost com- pletely displace their traus- Atlantic rivals, but they have followed up these rivals, and are competing against them in most of the large cities of the United Kingdom and hi some of the Continental countries. Though Can- adian manufacturers have thus de- monstrated their ability to sell both at home and abroad against the best makes of other countries, they are by no means rid of foreign competition in our own market. They have still to cope with United States manufactur- ers. The bicycles which these latter send into Canada are as a class not of a kind to be encountered by high- grade wheels, If they were wheels of a superior quality there is little doubt that Canadian makers would be able to hold their own against them. But the majority of the bicycles ex= ported hither from the United States are of second grade, or even lower in the scale of quality, many of them be- ing the cheap, trashy product of fac- tories where female and other low- priced labour is employed. Such wheels are made almost exclusively for export. This was a development that should have been recognized by the Government as calling for a read- justment of the duty on bicycles when the revision of the tariff was under consideration last spring. The present ad -valorem rate might have been left as it is, with a modification introduced to the effect that all wheels below a certain value should be subject to a specific duty, as these cheap wheels are doing an injury to our bicycle in- dustry. There is probably no country in the world where a more honestly - built bicycle is produced than in Can- ada. Our manufacturies should there- fore have adequate protection against all grades that are not honestly conduc- ted. BUYING AWAY FROM HOME, The Dry Goods Review urges that during the summer season the local press should be at work pointing out plainly the duty of people to buy in their own town in preference to other places. The Moosomin Spectator has had just such an article as is meant' s' There seems to be a perfect fascina- tion," it declares, " for some people to do business away from home. They seem to think that it raises their social standing to be able to say that this or that article was bought at Toronto or some other large centre: The cost of the article cuts no figure with a cer- tainto pay class; they are willing p y for the supposed gain to their standing in the social arena." After administering a sharp rap over the knuckles of such people as that, the editor next takes in hand the case of those who buy away in some distant city because they think they can get better bargains. " Does the gain of a few dollars," asks the editor, " justify the men and women of any neighborhood or locality in sending their money away from their own neighborhood? To what end does such a method of business lead ? Every right thinking man and woman can come to only one conclusion ; that it is Y..i 2 .L.e rRyac;;t:lY NOTE AND COM.31'E\T. The meteor seen passing Exeter a few weeks ago burst before reaching the earth, and part of it fell in a far- mer's garden at Blantyre, Euphrasia township, Grey county. This part was a block about two feet square, .and re- sembled a half-burut limestone. The burnt part will crumble in the hands, but the other part is quite hard. At the time it fell a man a few iods away was standing in a stable door picking a thistle out of his finger. In the twink- ling. of au eye the pin became red hot, �+ and burnt his finger so that he let the pia drop. This phenomenon is sup- posed to have been due to the electric action. One hundred and nine thousand loco- motives are at present running in var- ious countries, Europe has 63,000, America 400,000, Asia 3,800, Australia 2,000, and Africa '700. According to the reports received at the Department of Agriculture honey is an abundant crop this year. Wm. McEvoy, of Woodburn, Wentworth county, who visited the department on Wednesday, reported having 100 col onies of bees after swarming was over at the end of .Tune, From these he has already taken 7e, tons of honey, which sold at 8 emits per lb., netting him $1,- MO.—Guelph 1;200.—Guelph Mercury. ** A young man of Kansas took his best girl to a picnic, where she flirted so outrageously, as he thought, that he refused to go home with her. The young woman went home alone and in a carriage. Her father paid the bill— seventy-five cants — and sued the jealous lover for reimbursement. Both have hired lawyers and threaten to " carry the case to the highest courts in the land;' And nobody will be very sorry if the father wins the case, The Municipal World, of St, Thomas, through its legal editor expresses the opinion that municipal councils have no power in places of less than 100,000 population to pass by-laws for regulat- ing and governing the use of bicycles. The opinion was given in answer to a query about the Galt by-law requiring bicyclists to carry lanterns. The Mun- icipal World says that such a by-law cannot be enforced, and a conviction under it would no doubt be quashed if carried to a court beyond. *** The early and almost continuous harvest this year has kept' the farmers hustling for some weeks back. The exceptionally large hay crop was hard- ly finished before the fall wheat was ready for the binder. This work was so closely followed by the ripening of the spring•sown grain that no time in- tervened for a breathing spell, and harvest operations have progressed so rapidly that the fields in many parts of the country are once more bare. Threshing is now in progress, and many farmers are preparing ground for sowing fall wheat, The unusually early and busy harvest has of course interfered with trade to some extent, but this will soon revive, and in view of the abundant harvest, merchants are naturally looking for a good fall trade. itt *** THE TERROR OP VERONA. Constable Dowker, of Harrowsmith, had a terrible time in arresting Mrs, Weyman, of Verona, last Tnursday. Y Mrs. Weyman was in bed and refused to get up and dress. Mrs. Weyman was taken down by sheer force of the constable and Peter Billmore, whom he called upon. Mrs. Weyman was al lowed to go into another room to dress, and while waiting, Constable Dowker was struck on the hand by a stone which severely bruised two fingers. Mrs, Weyman's son, Richard, rushed at Peter Billmore with a large carving knife, and Mr, Billmore had to throttle. the lad in order to protect himself. The greatest excitement prevailed, and about 300 people were around the house. She was taken to Kingston, tried, found guilty, and fined $50 and costs or 6 months in jail. Mrs, Wey man is over 60 years of age, and was, the terror of Verona, McWIIERREtL'S SENTENCE. A great effort to obtain a commuta- tion of the fife sentence of Waiter Me Wherrell is to be made before Lord Aberdeen's term of office as Governor- General expires. McWherreli was senteuced to be hanged some four years ago for the murder of the old Williams couple near Port Credit. His sentence was commuted by the then Premier, Sir John Thompson, to life imprisonment, Several attempts to obtain commutation of the latter sent- ence were made, but without effect, T. C. Robinette, who defended Mc- \Vherrell on his trial, is now making arrangements for a last efftort at com- mutation. ns'* FARMERS, ;ROTI; TIIIS. The Toronto World says ---horse dealers report a great scarcity of first - eines coach and draught horses. It is with difficulty that a decent shipment can be be collected in this province, al. though the prices for first•elassanimais are quite satisfactory. The demand for high class horses is as great as it has ever been, and the prices just as high. It will pay farmers to give more atteution to the breeding of horses. Cavalry horses are in excellent demand in the United States as well as coachers and drivers. The English market is also quite active and will absorb all the high-grade horseflesh that Canada can produce. But for poor horses there is no sale whatever. *** FITZIM 1ONS' CHALLENGE. In a letter to the New York Sun, Bob Fitzimmous oilers this comfort to ambitious pugs : '' Now, so as to avoid any unnecessary argument, we will grant that there are five men iu the field at the present time who are eu- tatled to be classed as aspirants for my - proud position, and we will also grant that the men referred to are Jeffries, McCoy, Sharkey, Corbett and Maher, My proposition to them is as follows : Go and fight it out between yourselves, boys, and when it is positively- decided which is the best man among you, let that man, whoever he may be, come to us with a straightforward challenge and the usual backing, and he can rest assured of getting a match with me, and a fair chance of winning the championship, and it won't take over thirty minutes to arrange the details at that. An Egmondville correspondent says " Much is being said and written about the small remuneration paid the public school teachers in this province. While we regret to see bright, earnest young people doing good work, as many are, so poorly paid, we believe the blame is mainly their own, and that the remedy rests with themselves, While they are willing to sell their services so cheaply they. will find cheap buyers, who will eyen be willing to dispense with the services of a well tried, capable teach- er, fur one who is untried, but who is willing to work for less pay. Thus the people run the risk of a bad year's work for their children, a good teacher is, perhaps, driven out of the profession. We have, however, the best of reasons for knowing that " Poor pay, poor preach," is not the motto of our teach- ers, in this vicinity at least, as both public and private examinations testify to the capable work being done by many of our miserably paid principals and assistants. Raising the educat- ional standard will not prove the rem edy. Only a united protest of the teachers, backed by the resolve not to teach for less than a fair minimum sal ary, will accomplish the desired pur- pose." One of America's most fa- mous physicians says: "Scrof- ula is external consumption." Scrofulous children are often beautiful children, but they lack nerve force, strong bones, stout muscles and power to resist disease.

He was oiling his wheel and got the fin- ger caught between the chain and the sprocket. Downie: Patrick Bannon, of the Gore, met with an accident last even- ing that will lay him up for some time. He was riding on top of a yard and a quarter of gravel, sitting on the end of a board laid across the gravel, while a boy sat on the other end'. When about half way between Conroy and Anderson's hotel the boy jumped off suddenly, and Mr. Bannon was thrown to the ground. He struck with his head on the hard road with such force as to partially stun him for a moment; and his right foot was caught un- der the rear wheel of the heavily load- ed wagon. Dr. H. Shaver, who hap- pened along awheel, made an examin- ation of the injured member. Fortun- ately, Mr. Bannon was wearing a pair of heavy soled shoes, and the foot be log turned sideways the sole prevent- ed' bones from being crushed. He will, however, be laid up for some days.
