One of the very best Christmas gifts and one that will be appreciated by all during 1905 is a year's subscription to the Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal. It costs but a dollar a year and includes the lovely premium picture entitled "The Princess at Work." The publishers of that great Weekly are planning to give its read- ers bigger value than ever during 1905. A dollar cannot be better spent. It is. said the staff of clerks employed in the Family Herald office entering up names alone of new subscribers is greater in number than' the whole staff of any five papers in Canada. New Matron. Commencing with the new` year, the House of Refuge will have a new matron, in the person of Mrs. W. H. Simpson, of Clinton. It has been Mrs. Mrs. French's desire to retire for some. time; that she has performed her dut- ies most .admirably ever since the opening of the house, is the testimony of:everybody- in a position to know, and her successor has by no means an easy task to take up. Still we think it would be difficult to find a more competent and sympathetic substitute than Mrs. Simpson,. who, we believe, will prove her efficiency in every re- spect, The position is a hard one for any one to fill -Clinton New Era. sienvineenserneaserens MAAMAAMMASA81310M813.8MASHIPSW The.---•- Reeord Bought with Confidence.: Worn with Satisfaction.

He was aged 50 years, and was born andraisedthe n afse 'in t e TownshiP . of Usborne. Mr. W. J. Bissett, who recently ac- cepted the position of Constable and nightwatchnan at Seaforth, to Com- mence duties om-meuce'duties on Wednesday of this week, has decided not to take the posi- tion and. will continue his old position as. Constable and general utility man here. The• nightwateh duties was the principal reason. for 'declining the position. Mr. John Decker, of Hay township. last week .disposed and. delivered to' Mr. Thos: Handford, of town his beau - Will well -matched team of general' purpose horses, realizing $350. They were probably the best matched team in the county. There is scarcely a point on them in which .they. differ. Mr. Decker captured several prizes at the Fall shows with this handsome team. On Friday Mr. T. E. Handford ship- ped two cars of horses to the Canadian West. This makes a total of 42 cars, representing an amognt in money of $8,300 to the car, or an aggregate of $188,600 worth shipped by Mr. Hand- ford this year. In all he has handled, locally and otherwise, ovsr 1000 horses during 1904. This indicates that Ex - ter is second to none as a horse market. The Seaforth Sun of , last week has. the following concerning a former resi- dent of Exeter and son of Mr. Hugh Oke:—"Mr. Andrew Oka is very ser- iously ill with blood poisoning, result- ing from a cut on the band about ten days ago. The past few days he has been a, great sufferer, it being neces- sary to perform an operation on Tues- day. Although now slightly improved he is still in a precarious condition. His many friends hope for a speedy recovery. . The storm on Tuesday was the worst of the season, and for the greater part of the day the elements were such as to threaten a duplication of last wint- er's scenes. It, however, abated dur- ing the night and the snow being of alight nature traffic was not much impeded. ' The train from the South Tuesday night was a 'few hours late but trains are now running on time. May the gods of the elements have a staying hand on anything like a re- petition of last winter. The remains of the late Samuel Gid - ley arrived here on Thursday morning last, accompanied by his two sons Harry and Bert. !The body was con- veyed from the depot to the Trivitt Memorial church from where the fun- eral took place at 2 o'clock to the Exe- ter cemetery. A large number assem- bled at the church to pay their last sad tribute of respect to the dead. The service at the church was conducted by'the Rev. R. J. M. Perkins while at the grave the Canadian Order Fores- ters conducted . their beautiful burial service. • The Sale of Work in the Trivitt Memorial School Hall last Friday afternoon and evening was a great success. ' The Hall was very artistical- ly decorated with flags and bunting. Dainty refreshments were served by ladies who looked very pretty in their fancy caps and aprons. There was' a very attractii;e display of fancy and plain articles of work. A special fea- ture this year was a Housekeeper's table which was well patronized. Be- fore the end of the evening almost everything on sale had been purchased. An impromptu :programme of music and speeches was well received. The Ladies* Guild is to be congratulated on. this annual Sale which is becoming more popular every year. The pro- ceeds amounted to $72. -• Christwas services.

Mo'nday's Concert. - '•*” The concert on Monday evening. in the , Opera house was 'attended by onlya small number of -people, owing no doubt, to the busy season with the townspeople; to the near approach of the Xmas and New Year holidays, and to the unrest in regard to : eleetionn municipal and county. The program was given by, Miss .Anne. BecKett, >Sopra:uo; Miss Mildred 'Godwin, Read- er;., •and Will McLeod, Comedian.

It would take more knowledge of the decorative art than we possess, more time than we have, at our disposal and more space:than n we can spare to des. tribe fully and minutely the many beautiful decorations that at • this Christmas season enhance the beauty of the wiudow displays and ether in- terior embellishment .of the many stores of Exeter. Then, suffice -to say, that we have never seen as much beau- tiful adornment in the stores as is evi- dent this year. These decorations re- present considerable labor and expense and while, of course, "they. serve the purpose of, making the store .attrac- tive, they also serve to beautify the whole town during the holiday season. The north' window of the dry -goods department of Mr. E. J. Spackman's store contains a particularly interest- ing display in the form of '•a beaiitif ul Ferris wheel, propelled by an electric fan. The only way in Which to filly appreciate this window is to see it for yourself. Like tbings may be said of many other store windows in town. A walk along the street and a look at the displays would repay you all. County council Nominations. The meeting held in the Town Hall on Monday afternoon last for the re- ceiving of nominations for County Councillors was not so largely attend- ed as the worthiness of the object de- manded. However, Mr. Francis Mor- ley, the nominating officer, was' at his post at the hour named for the opening of the meeting, when the following nominations were recorded:—John Es- ser,, of Usborne; W. G. Bissett, Exe- ter; Robt. Gardiner, Farquhar; Wm. Bawden and Hugh Spackman,Exeter. The alloted time for receiving nomina- tions having expired and the nominees being present they were called upon to address the .meeting which they all did: briefly and to the point. Mr. Spack- man and Mr. Hicks, who have served the county for the last two terms were present and verylucidly and ably gave an account of their stewardship, c'oing into detail of the various mat- ters of importance transacted during their time of office. Mr. Hicks in the course of his speech said be was not, a candidate for County.Oouucil honors, while Mr, Speckuxan stated he was, again in the field for re-election. Mes- srs. Bawden, Bissett and Essery hav- ing since resigned. Messrs. Spackman and Gardiner are consequently elected by acclamation. Council Minutes. Council met pursuant to statutes at Town Hall, Dec. 15.
