A few women of town of the.saf- fragette persuasion have wieder • co n - s_de alion an invitation,asking -Mrs. Pankhurst, the champion of the suf- fragette movement in England, who is trying to spread her chimerial influ- ences to this and other lands, to .vis- it Exeter in the near future, Probab- ly it world be well to get this most ardent tutor of the suffragette rause to give our ladies a few lessons on the great question of woman's rights or rather their right places, THE BUSY MAN. There isa difference between ;a busy man and a busy body. A man is a soul a character, a force. A body is .a soul's material habitation. The busybody fits about with every moment occupied in an exterior' con- spicuous way, but exerts no real pow- er. The busy man appears, compar- tively inert, with no seeming pressure. upon his time. The busy -body skims many square miles of surface, and is hailed by many admiring on -lookers. The busy man oblivious to popularity plunges' straight down to the bottom of his real . interests, which to the busybody seem so few 'and so obscure The busy man has .no skiff; the busybody has no plummet. Each lilts his place, perhaps; the one super- ficially, the other profoundly; the one as a bodily spectacle, the other as a soul -force, The one hinders more oft en than he helps, while the other helps more often than he hinders - Exchange, A GREAT SUCCESS. Thc Mock Court Trial put en in the Opera House on Monday night last under the auspices of the Tames Street League was a success in :very way. In spite of the very, wet weath- er the hall WIll filled to capacity, the advance sale of seats being the larg- est ever known in town. The re- ceips amounted to $i30. The trial, was conducted by Col. Newton of the Newton Entertainment Bureau, Wor- cester Mass. The local talent have already been .named in these columns, all of whom did their respective parts in a very able manner. The large audience appeared to enjoy the en- tertainment, a great deal of applause greeting the players in the many bright sayings and local bits. There were four cases on the list, the three first being quickly disposed t o' es :he solicitor for the defence pleaded gil- ty in each case. The first was the King vs, Mike Doyle, charged ' with over exertion `._ Defendant's solicitor claimed if was an accident, he never' did it before and would never do it again. In the second case Rev. Pow- ell was charged with eating all the oysters at a church etew. His eo1ic- itor pleaded guilty, but claimed there was only one oysetr in the stew. In the third case Jake Stewart was charged with selling undressed kids. He was guilty and condemned to wear his own gloves and keep his kids dressed, Interest centered upon the fourth case, Jerusha Rug Perkins vs. J. M. Southcott, an action of con- tract in breach of promise of mar- riage. The suit was for $3.48 dam- ages. The jury which consisted' of such eminent men as "R. L. Borden," "Sir Wilfrid Laurier," "Sir James Whitney" and "Newton Rowell" brought in a verdict of full damages for the plaintiff, the three dollars to go to the jury and the forty-eight cents to "Judge" Dickson, Many fun- ny bits were brought out in the evi- dence, while the numerous. local hits were geatly appreciated.

They found Nixon over by the fence, having crawled from the roadside, evidently trying to reach, a neighboring house. He was carried into John Bennett's, and medical aid summoned, but noth- ing could be done. DIED FROM BURNS. Parkhill Nova Z. -Mrs. Goodman, wife of Lieutenant-Colonel 1.
