By' order The tax rate for the town was struck by the council last week at 20 mills on the dollar, three and a half mills more than last year. The increase is due largely to the water works scheme which, without a doubt, is good value for the money invested. The two race horses belonging to J. E.

The Chief Game Warden of the Pro- vince desires to call the attention of game dealers, commission merchants, storekeepers and. others engaged in the business of buying and selling game in the Province that it is neces- sary for them to procure licenses to enable them to legally engage in the business.

It seems strange that up-to-date we have heard nothiag from or about apple buyers for this year's crop. It is evident that every buyer lost -heavi- ly last season, and the number who venture to buy this year will be limit- ed. Judging from appearances the apple crop will be short, and if the apples are bought reasonable and then packed carefully, there ought to be money in them. The fruit must be good to suit British or any other mar- ket.

Many people suppose there is no penalty attached to mailing a letter' in a newspaper,, photographs or pack- age of merchandise. This is a mistake and the post °face department is look- ing after such matters. Parties who are trying to evade the payment of two or three cents in postage are liable to make such an act cost at least ten dollars. It will be better for all parties to pay the regular rate of postage than to have the officials get after them. If you are sending a letter pay letter postage and avoid any trouble. council Proceedings. Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at Town Hall, Aug. 22. Al pres- ent.

The church was beautifully and pro- fusely decorated with grail], flowers and fruit with the most consummate taste and ingenuity, the whole pre- senting a most handsome appearance. The weather was beautiful and large numbers turned out to both services. The Rev. C. C. Owen, B. A.,of London occupied the pulpit both morphia' and evening and preached two welada rected and powerful sermons which were listened to with raptattention. The special music by the choir was beautiful and was highly appreciated by all. "Finnigan's Fortune" G-idley's opera House, Fair night, Sept. 18 Fintagan's Fortune. , Thia splendid drama will be put on in the Gidley's Opera House, here,by Mr. M. Vincent and other performer's of local celebrity on Fair Dia -ha -Tuesday, Sept. 18. Finnigan's Fortune is a play of to -day. It is up to the times. In- stead of wildly impossible characters we meet real flesh -and -blood people, who do things exactly as all the au dience believe they would do under similar circumstances, therefore every scene in the play appears so nataral ality, one forgets it is all acting. The role of Finnigan, which will be taken by Mr. Vincent, is a favorite one with the author, who appears at his, best in character parts. The supporting char- acters are excellent, giving opportuni- ties for staong individual work. Re- member the date Sept. 18. ' Death of airs. tanson. A deep cloud of sorrow wag cast over Exeter on Friday last, when it was learned that Mrs. M. A. Faason, widow, had died after a, short illness. The deceased had enjoyed good health up to about two weeks previous to her death, when she was taken down with an attack of typhoid fever, wilich gain- ed such hold that her case. assumed a serious aspect almost from the first and in spite of the best irtedical skill and nursing she sank until death claimed her. The deceased was highly respect- ed and her death will be regretted by many. She leaves to mourn her de- mise a grown up family of three sons and two daughterse—Alhert, Norman and Ray, who reside in the North- aVes,t,ancl alrsaW:Balkwill,of town, and Mrs. (Dr.) Harrison, of Detroit. Ray and Mrs. Harrison being, in attendance 'at -the funeral. The bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends. 4- An auiprovemen , •One of the best and most popular institutions in town is our Public Library. It is a decided fact that we have one of the best libraries in the county and while there is always room foramprovernent let us not be slow in taking advantage and adopting im- provements that suggest themselves, (especially when they areeornparative- lyInexpensive) for the better regula- tion of so important an institution. In this connection we venture to di- irect the attention of the Board ato device by which the most --modern libraries endeavor to promote the•con- venience of the citizens. The device to which we refer is the postal card reserve plan. This is a scheme where- by read.ers are enabled to .secure any partieular volunie in the library they inay desire to peruse. A postal card is secured from the librarian at a cost of a couple of cents and on this card the citizen places the number and </las§ on the book he desires to secure. On the reverse side he places his own address. When the book in question comes in the librarian places it aside and clrops the card in the post office. The .receipt of the postal by the citizen is a notification of •the fact that the book wanted is :lathe library and he presents his cardanddra,ws the volume. In case he fails to apply within the specified period the book is returned to the shelves, or placed at the dispos- arof the next name on the card re- serve list. The advantages of this scheme are very apparent and it, can he established without expense • and .without placing any onerous work on the staff of the library.

The meetingbf the shareholders and those interested, appointed by' the di- rectors of the Exeter Cemetery to be held at.the cemetery on Sept. 31-cl, was very poorly attended. The feW pre- sent were, however, much interested arid seemed to feel most anxious that the cemetery should be placed on a better footing and that the proposi- E. Westcott 1 Cons placed before them by the direc- W. Dignan - 1 I tors should be canied oat. It is very F. Snell 1 doubtful, however, whether the three - H. Ford 0 tors would feel warranted in taking LABOR DAY. Labor Day was fittingly celebrated here on Monday. All prospects for carrying the program of sports to a successful issue were a blighted hope during the early part of the day by a dark canopy of heavy clouds, threaten; ing rain, followed by copious showers, but before noon the gloom disappear- ed, the heavens brightened and old. Sol shone out in transcendent beauty. All had changed and the weather was 'absolutely perfeet. Shortly after eleven O'clock the bas"nall match, advertised for the morning, between an aggrega- tion of benedicts and bachelors was put on and while the spectators were but few, owing to the unfavorable weather, the game was none the less amusing if not interesting. Some of the old-time players manifested that their early training had not yet left them, especially those of the benedicts, and the bachelors were simply not in the game. Following is the score:— BENEDICTS BACHELORS F. Middleton 4 W. aVestcott 0 J. Hyndman 3 W. Ross 1 G. Anderson 4 N. Creech 1 Ed. Treble 1 G. Sanders 0 R. Knight 3 G. Icnight, 3 T. Boyle 3 A.

Both teams worked hard for victory, but the Centralia aggregation seemed to be the stronger, but both teams played the games Well and while it, was rough at times the best of hal-- many prevailed, At the end of the ;tale the score stood 3-1 in favor of ptyalin. the small representation of the citizens and shareholders, which were present at the meeting. It appears evident that if any thing is to be done, all those interested must bestir themselves, and take some such action as will wax - rant the directors in proceeding to ef- fect the proposed changes and an- provemeats. It must be obvious to all concerned that the proper care of our cemetery is a duty, which we should hold in sacred regard. The question appears to resolve itself into this, that the directors must either be provided with the necessary funds and receive theandorsation and support of the gen- eral public or nothing will be done, which means that the general condi- tion of the cenietery will go fawn had to worse. It occurs to us that if 'peo- ple would bestir themselves 'as they should, the town council take an intea- est and the various clergymen from their pulpits would advocate the cause with a view of itraoressing the public so , that a full ilatalic lieeting could be se- cured, raneh maaelittabe accomplished. It is quite certain, however, that the directors of themselves, unless they receive such assistance and support, can h CCOMpliSil nothin.
