The Chief Census :Commissioners the Dominion have been throughout e insti ucted by telegraph tele i • ih to order the vaccination of all the enumerators under them. There is believed to be a lot of what is called "walking srn ill poi or a mild ford of the disease in r clifFe_ nt parts of the county, "' and e 1 y, i vaccination is being resorted to as a precautionary ;measure against the disease spreading. - ? Good Chance, As announced last week and the. week previous At branch, of the .O'Sulli- van Business College has been opened 111 Ith. B. Knight's new block. .'I3y the esteblishiu; of such an institution in our midst it aiffords to the young of our town and surrounding country 111 opportunity of acquiring a thorough and practical business education that should he liberally taken 'advantage of by all who may be in a position to at- tend. Fox particulars see circulars, Not Sportsman-like. The editor of the Ailsa Craig Ban- ner was evidently laboring under a sore head, or perhaps he was emerg- ing from the throes of an attack of the. " jim-jams," when he wrote the .item last week -with reference to the re- cent hockey match played between the Ailsa Craig,and Exeter teams. Its the school -boys old, old story, "rough play " " shinny" ete., etc., smattered with considerable sarcasm, s that he contributes the defeat of their team on that occasion. Such childish criti- cisms are too ridiculous for anything. A team that cannot take defeat grace- fully should withdraw froin the field and not be classed among the sporting fraternity. When we read the item first we came to the conclusion that the " real " editor of the paper had either taken a trip for the good of his health or had enlisted and taken up sides against the Boers and that some dwarf -brained excuse had struck the editorial chair with a dull thud in a manner that he lost his head in search of words to express his feelings. Seeds That Surely (crow. The cost of seeds compared with the value of the crop is so small that a few cents saved by buying second-rateseeds will amount to many dollars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures, what a risky thing it is to buy seeds without. being pretty sure that they are reliable and true to name. The latest catalogue. of the seed house of D. M. Ferry & Co. of Detroit, Mich., is a reminder that thousands of farmers in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputation of this great firm. ' During a business career ap proaching half a century in time, Fer- ry's seeds have won an annual increase in popularity, which is perhaps' the hest evidence that they grow and give satisfaction. Ferry's Seed Annual forr 1901 is a useful guide in selecting seeds for the farm, the truck garden and the flower garden. It is sent free on appli- cation. Council Proceedings.

Andrew Cruickshank, who witscOrm- gritted for trial a week agefor aaai- tae:npting to shoat alias Cura•ie, was sentenced Friday to three ye:us in Kingston penitentiary. The attorney -general: Friday intro- duced in the legishlture'his law reform measure, of which he has given hints for some time past, Briefly summar- ized, the measure doubles the jurisdic- tion of the county courts, combines general sessions and the assizes when business is light, and does away with the summoning of juries, when, with- in a reasonable time beforehand it is ;apparent there will be no business for them to attend to, simplifies the pro- cedure of interlocutory motion, and abolishes the writ of suimnons,and ef- fects ether changes. Under the new bill actions for slander, libel and crim- inal convertation or seduction confine within the jurisdiction of county courts but in such cases application may be made to have transfers made to the high court. The bill was givenits first reading. Girls Wanted. Two girls wanted at the : Exeter Woollen Mill. Apply to, JOHN Mum. Busy Firm. While in London last week ainong others the writer had occasion to call on Messrs Line, McDonald & Co., the well-known , cigar manufacturers. We were shown through the ,estab- lishment by the genial and courte- ous proprietors and to say the least it certainly was a scene of • liustlm activity. v Over 'a hundred hands are here employed daily in the manufac- ture of probably the most favorite brands of eig rs on , the market, the "El Cielo" and the "Line" and the magnitude of their output is not • sur- passed by any similar concern in On-, tario. All this comes' of making a good article at a popular °price and this is where the above named firm lend their competitors. All the lead- ing dealers handle El Cielo and the Line which is a sufficient of the quality. y sack the press. Press and Printer well says: The ef- fort of any newspaper to build up"" a town is practically nullified unless it is backed up by the business men of the town. A stranger turns from the news columns of the paper to its,advertising columns, and if he fails to findthere e the hlisiness cards:of the merchants and professional firms, he comes to the ' conclusion that the ,,editor is not appreciated, in which case it is a good place to keep clear from. No town ever grew without the active assistance of its papers. Nor can papers grow, and• build up their localities without the - assistance of the town. Business men should realize ':this and remember that in lending support to their local paper they are not only building nP their 'ownwn business, but n l ort that which is 1 in to support are helping steadily working for the growth of the whole town. Death of Mrs. Wilcox. This week sees another of the oldest our midst st and from d removed fr residents laid to rest with the majority. We re- fer to the death of Jane Tomlinson, be- loved wife of Daniel Wilcox,' who pass- ed away at the family residence ,Huron street, on Monday afternoon last, at the advanced age of 79 years and 2 months. -The deceased had,. enjoyed good health almost up to the last, in fact, she was able to leave her bed, on. Sunday, and being particularly bright no one would have dreamed that the cold hand of death would so soon be laid upon her, but on Monday her con- dition became' alarmingly worse and being dropsical heart trouble set- in which °soon, snapped the vital cord.' Mrs. Wilcox was of kind disposition, a good wife and mother, a true friend and Christian. She was a consistent, and faithful member: of the James street Methodist church and, died in the calm security of perfect faith of her Saviour's merits. By her friends, as well as by the `sorrowing husband,' two sons and three daughters—John and Daniel, of Cameron,Missouri, Mrs. Christie, Killarney, Man.; Mrs. Hutch- inson, of South River, Muskoka, and -b whom she is sur- vived, at home Y vived,'her loss is deeply mourned al- though she had reached the allotted terru of life. Her remains will be taken to the James street church where a short service will be held, and .from there to the Exeter cemetery for in- terment,to-day (Thursday) at 2 o'clock:'.

With heroic determination they fought against in- creasing, weakness and bade fair to survive until the opening of Spring but quite suddenly the end cane. Satur- day evening Will. passed away short- ly after 5 o'clock and about an hour anda half later the sister, who was so warmly attached to her brother, entered into rest, both dying very quietly and with a resignation born of the resurrection's Hope. It was ,a most unusal yet rather sorrowful co- incidence that they were not long separated in death. Goderich: Andrew Cruickshank, of Wingham, was before Judge Masson Friday morning on a serious `charge. The previous. Sunday evening, on the street in Wingham, he shot with a revolver ' at a young man named George Sanburn, but luckily the bullet passed harmlessly through the latter's overcoat and coat. It is said that jeal- ously was the cause of the trouble. Cruickshank had been paying • some attention to a Miss Currie, a respect- able' young lady of Wingham, but 'latS advances were not well received. On Sunday evening Sanburn was walking home with Miss Currie and some other lathes, and when (they reached the young lady's home Cruickshank was standing near the gate. He opened fire on Sanburn, with theresult as stated above, and then went home, where he was shortly afterwards ar- rested. The case was heard by Mayor Clegg and Geo. McKenzie, J. P., who sent him to Goderich for trial. Be- fore Judge Masson he pleaded guilty to the charge of shooting with intent to maim, and was remaned for a week for sentence. Philip Holt, Ii.
