Less thou four weeks now to Exe- ter Fair and the big musical treat. Mr. R, G. Seldon has engaged Mr., David Mack to buy and weigh grain on the Exeter market, He starts on Sept. lst. Messrs, Wilson & Boyle last week dissolved partnership in their general store business at Hensall. Mr, Wilson purchased Mr. Boyle's share in the business and will in future conduct it himself, Mr, Boyle is taking a holi- day at his home here at present. On Tuesday evening the Exeter Bowling Club purchased the Crunicala lot, 50x150 feet, on Main street, south of the residence of Mr. E. Christie. It will be put in shape for a bowling green this fall. A club house will be erected thereon and every convenience added thereto. Some very beaatiful gladiolus are on exhibition in several of the store win- dows this week. This handsome flow- er has been cultivated very carefully by several of the ladies of the Women's Institute and others during the past few years and this year's bloom is a particularly pleasing result. The north window of Jos. Senior's studio shows some fine specimens. The storm of Monday was the most severe thunder, lightning and rain storm of the year. A barn belonging to Mr. Mat. Finkbeiner on the 7th of Stephen was destroyed by lightning and much damage of a lesser nature was done. Instead of making the weather cooler for Tuesday the effect was the reverse, Tuesday being one of the most if not the most oppressive- ly hot days of the season. To correct our statement of "one month" in our last issue Ed. writes us stating that he was studying French fully six weeks. However we clip the following: "Edwin J. Eacrett com- pleted matriculation by passing a very creditable examination in French, his marks being 73 in French authors and 67 in French composition. Mr. Eac- rett was not during the past term a pupil of the Institute but receiued six weeks' coaching from Mr. Strang, with excellent results."-Goderich Signal. The Anniversary and Harvest Thanksgiving service in connection with the Trivitt Memorial church will be held on Sept. 2nd. The Rev. H. T. S. Boyle, M.A., B.D., rector of Wing - ham, will be the special preacher at both services. He will also address the Sunday School in the school room in the afternoon. The church will be tastefully decorated for the occasion. There will be a special thankoffering at both services and in view of the abundant harvest, it is hoped this, of- fering will be a most liberal one. Jos. Davis is having his blacksmith Loses Three ringers and Maine, Frank Periso, a Frenchroan, whose home is at Grand Bend, was the urn fortonate loser of three fingers and thumb of the right hand on Thursday morning last, the result of an accident while engaged at a threshing.

Fashionable Wedding. A quiet, fashionable, society event took place at Mt. Carmel, on Wednes- day, Aug, 22nd, when one of Exeter's most estimable and accomplished so- ciety young ladies, Miss Ethel I., eld- est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Farmer, of town, was united in, mar- riage to Mr. Edmond Wesfropp Horne, who was with the Sovereign Bank here for some two years, prior to be- ing transferred to the Milverton and. Stratford Branches of the same bank as manager. The bride wore a beauti- ful gown of lace net over Duchesse Satin and wore pearl ornaments. The bride and groom were unattended. The Rev. Father Forster officiated. The bride's travelling suit was a very elaborate gray silk with hat to match. After a three weeks' boat trip to Otta- wa, Quebec and Toronto, Mr.and Mrs. Horne will return to Stratford and will take up their residence at the cor- ner of St. David and St. Vincent street, where Mrs. Horne will be home to her friends on and after September 27th.

Bobier is • being tried before Police Magistrate Humber of Goderich at the Town Hall. The case is one in which the plaintiff accuses defendant of falsifying the weight of a car of hogs shipped on Aug. 6. Up to noon the evidence taken went to show that the bogs were two nights upon the road, and therefore the shrinkage would be more than normal; that part of the load had been fed by Mr. Bobier for six days; and that the weights had at first been accepted by the company. Crown Attorney Seager of Goderich and S. G. Stanbury are conducting the examinations. Messrs. N. D. Hurdon, C. B. Snell and Rev. Collins went to the station Monday morning as a delegation froni the Exeter Bowling Club to say a word of welcome and present a bunch of flow- ers and a basket of apples to the English Bowlers who werepassing through from Clinton to London. The visitors were enthusiastic in their praises of Canada and the Canadians. They said' they had been treated as Princes and Lords throughout the whole of their trip; Canada is a most beautiful county and well worth the booming it was now receiving. They could hardly consider it possible that we could have such warm weather now and yet have in a few months the snow and ice that in- duced Kipling to write "Our Lady of the Snows."
