Baskerville Brothers are busily en- gaged breaking the Western horses sold by Handford & Elliott last week-. Many and varied are the experiences with them. They were driving one up Main street Monday evening. The brute travelled very quietly until in front of the post office when it sudden- ly bolted and struck a horse and rig belonging to and driven by Mr. Jas. Ford, of Stephen. The force of the collision freed Mr. Ford's horse from the buggy and it ran down Main street but•waassoon caught. In the mean- time the other borse was attempting to climb into the buggy and over Mr. Ford. In " its efforts it almost com- pletely detroyed the rig and injured the occupant, who was thrown out on- to the ground. After being helped to his feet he walked to a doctor's office and had his injuries dressed. After the horse had finished demolishing the buggy it raced up Main street with the brothers doing their best to stop it. In front of A. E. Tennant's the horse was brought to a standstill. As far as we we can learn Mr. Ford's injuries are not very severe. The Main street is hardly aproper place to drive horses of this nature. One never knows when they are going to be on the sidewalk with you or run into your rig, . or make a bolt for what. is inside of a plate glass window. Care should be. e ercised with such unmaun..ab a brutes. Ailnouiice t o`rit. Felin Exeter Public School Board beg to announce that a limited number of seats in the High School Department are now available for the fall term, ap- plication -` plication for which may be made to the secretary, Mr. Grigg. The past record of the board since theinstitu- tion of this department, equalling and successfully rivalling many of the old established high schools will be suffic- ient evidence thatno mistake will be made by parents or guardians in com- mitting their children to their care and that of the staff. The board's efforts are being steadily directed to secure the higheet efficiency in their high school work as well as in every division ,of their public 'school. This is being done, not only in the interest of their presentcare, but with the object of having our town never less than fore- most as ore-mostas a centre of educational work and influence for this district.

Much discussion has takenplace of late among our citizens regarding the question as to what amount of gain a man makes by paying cash and ,get ting a 5 per cent. discount instead of giving bis note drawing 5 per cent. in- terest and payable at the end of one year. The discussion arose in this wise: Handford & Elliott advertised a sale of horses. The terms of the sale stated that a man buying a horse might pay.for it in either of two ways: by paying cash and being allowed a dis- count of 5 per cent. or by giving his note bearing 5. per cent.. interest and payable at the end of one year. To the casual observer when questioned on the matter it seems an easy thing to decide which would be the better, why it would be the better, and how much better. He lightly considers and gives his answer. No sooner has he done so than a storm of eager lis- teners begin to throw arguments at him promiscuously. Unless he is cer- tain of his answer and ready to 'back it up with good solid reasoning he is soon lost in the vortex and does not, know where" he is. It is an easy, matter to tell that the cash :payment is the better for the buyer and why it is the better, but the opinions differ greatly as to_how much better the cash payment is. Those who have argued the question are divided into two parties. The one party claims that the buyer saves`five or nearly five per cent., the other that the buyer saves ten or nearly ten per cent. of the purchase price. It is a knotty question in which our best men are at variance in giving a solution. One laughs at the reasoning of the other and the other at the one. Yet no one has succeeded inv' sol m the of to f; point the satisfaction of all those who are open to conviction. Can someone do so? We have no doubt that a satisfac- tory solution would relieve the minds of many who are particularly disturbed over the matter. SONAL. aelteitiati.06L' Zia Mr. W.
