It appears that the James street Methodist church Quartely Board is averse to giving an invitation for next year. A meeting was called for that purpose lately and out of nineteen pre- sent only six would favor an invitation The meeting broke up, At the regular meeting last Friday evening another effort was made by those favorable to an invitation: On a ballot being taken Rev, Mr. Brown, of Amherstburg got seven votes. We learn there are be- tween twenty five and thirty active members in the Board who take an interest in those things. It looks as if the Board prefered' to leave the matter in thehands of the Stationing com- mittee. 'No doubt there are many good men who could succeed with so helpful church: We are also informed, that Dr. Willoughby intimated that be did aot•.wisb an invitation for the fourth r church it was decided to hold a series of Evangelistic services commencing with the first week iu the new year, The Rev.

It is said that the pro- blems are not at ail difficult, but there are a few that require considerable dis eernmeut to catch their meaning. If the final examinatiou.of trainmen now in progress proves them to be thorough- ly posted in the stew code of signals and regulations, the system will go in- to force at once. Those men, however, who fail to pass the examination, will be given further time and personal in- struetion in order to give them every ehauee. . Large Elects, Mr. L R.

The council therefore forbid putting any'. preventative from slipping on these! walks, unless fine sawdust." Aceident. Mr. John Rendle, butcher, met with a paiuful accident o', Friday last, which may cripple him for life. He was engaged in killing a lamb when by some means the knife slipped and ran into his knee, making an ugly wound and allowing the oil under the knee•eap to run out. He is at present off duty, and under favorable circum stances it will be some time before he will have the use of the limb. No More Deputy-Iteeves, It will be news to the men who are thinking of aspiring to the first, second or third deputy reevesbip of their town- ship, to learn that the very name of the office, which has been meaningless since the passage of the County coun- cils Act, has been abolished. After this year a township council will consist as at present of five membere, but there will be only one reeve, and the remain- ing four will be known as councillors James St. Methodist Chinch. Mrs. T. E. Harrison, of Granton took a leading part in the services last Sabbath. She gave two sermons `at the usual hours of service and spoke at a mass meeting in the afternoon. Her addresses were practical, pointed, welt illustrated and effective. Her manner is simple, and her whole bearing gives the impression of an earnest christian woman. Mrs. Elliott also spoke in the afternoon. Her address was; well pre- pared, well delivered and received with marked attention. House of Refuge Notes. Thomas Matthews, of McKillop, aged 65, died Tuesday; the remains were in- terred at the . Irishtown cemetery.

In Clover; When we have our palate tickled by some rich morsel twice in one week we begin to think we are in clover and that after all it is good to be au editor. Last week Mrs. Wm, Dearing, sr., of Stephen, favored us with her annual donation of Devonshire cream, airs. Dearing is one of only a few who un derstands the making of that good and wholesome dish and it is needless to say we enjoyed the treat very much. Ou Saturday Mr. Wes Ruston brought us in three tine wild rabbits. These we had made into a pie and we ate thereof until we almost looked like rabbit. Yum! Yuen! Our many thanks are extended to the donors, 1,evet Head. The man who wrote the following bas a level head --The best way to build up a town is to stand by every man in town. Whenever a man is do- ing well do not tear hint down. All residents should be partners not oppon- ents. In all livelihoods the more busi- ness your rival does, the more you will do. Every business man who treats his customers honestly, courteously- and fairly, will get his share, .a and the more business that can be secured, by united effort, the better it will be for all. When atown ceases to grow it be; ins to die, and the more people try- to kill each Other in their business, the more readily will utter ruin casae to all. Stand together far the advaaeemotat of each citizen, If a man shows ability to prosper do not pull him back through jealousy or weight him down through a cold indifference. lana Colambia Calenelar.

A. Dickson, of Toronto, in which he states that Mr. Ardagh, C. E, of Barrie, has contracted with the Canadian Peat Fuel Company to operate the county of Huron, and will visit Exeter and the surrounding territory shortly, for the purpose of in- vestigating matters. The importance of the undertaking to the whole com munity is such that he counts upon finding many sincere well wishers in this vicinity, and desires to obtain such preliminary information as will serve to, save valuable time. He therefore asks that all owners of swamp lands, who may be interested in the develop ment of this wonderful discovery, to furnish information to the ADVOCATE as to deposits of peat or swamp muck, average depth of muck, accessibility to highway or railroad, the character of growth on surface, owner's name and price asked, also sample taken from . a point where the peat is several feet in depth and from two or three feet below the surface. Farmers and owners of swamp lands will find it to their great advantage to give this matter their attention, and lend what assistance they can to promote the project. Bring alongyour samples.
