In the first place Hydro -Electric power has long since gene beyond the experimental : tage,1 hence we take no Once whatever of it not proving a a eecess, Exeter 1 is situated most favorably in the zone ICU procuring this great power, and we should be most thankful for it. If th • electors should take an unfavor- able view of Hydro-Electric,and ac- ecrdingly vote down the' By-Iaw it mean: that you, have delivered a black eye. to the town that without a single exception would bit the worst black eye it has. ever received. We can't, however conceive of one ratepayer being so blind to his own interests' a.' to seven think of ad adverse action in this `most important matter. We sitilpZg„ cannot at,nny hazard afford to tun it down. It would not only show a lack of enterprise, but it would throw us into the background sc far that we would undoubtedly never be in a position again to re- cover ourselves, Once lost, always lost. Let our moto be"Hurrah for Exeter,' in no uncertain tone. We note by the way that the little vil- lage o. Ailsa, Craig which voted on a similar by-law Monday, ,carried it handsomely by ,126 .for and only 5 against, We feel assured that Exeter' will do likewise on. July 16th. THE FARMER BOY -We are not giver to boasting, but we are proud o* the farmer boys of this vicinity. They are, with rare exceptions, a h idthy intelligent and happy class of young men. We feel like taking our hat clear off when we meet them upon our streets, and no class ;s more welcome to our office. Too ninny boy, leave the farm where they would have made substantial and good cit- izens, and go to the city, where only one it thousand suceeds in life's bat- tle. There are farmers who ;fairly drive then boys away. There is no excuse for this. The farmer boy is entitled to his vacations, to • : everal relaxations., his. visits to the city, good books magazines and his home paper To the observing one it is; plain to, be seen that the old farm . is the' best place in the . world for the average young man and never fails to wring a happier and more useful life than the city. Young man you who till the soil and earn yovir bread . by t(he se eat of your brow, we are, proud' of you.. our latchstring is always out to you and you will always have a friend in this paper. A BAD HABIT. -There is a habit; common among the young men much' more dangerous than it appears and which may lead to results extremely disastrous -the '.habit of borrowing money The habit is made with great 'ease and once startedthere is no know ing where it will end. A few dollars are borrowed to please some passing fancy with every intention of ieturn- lag the Ionian a short time. But( the thoughtlessness which caused the pur- chase of an article beyond one's means likewise allows the interval to elapse without any provision having been made to meet the obligation. Perhaps half the debt is ready, but more money is borrowed from another. friend to complete the amount, and so It continues indefintely.Soon enure - bet oe debts are contracted and, how - eve, smee they tend to 'ourden litfe and make it wnplerasand and almost'n-• variably lead to dishonesty. Men with small salaries should by all means avoid the habit. To do sowill nec- essitate perhaps many sacrifices, :out no dangers are run in living within one's income, And, besides, the aabit of economy and frugality learned whet' the income is small, viii bear frui in abundance when' it is :anger. It is a safe rule in youth' at °east to. "borrow hot” Oddfeilows- Decoration Day Oi Sunday afternoon last the Odd - fellows of Exeter Lodge 'to the num- ber of fifty gathered at the ceme- tery, and after reading the beautiful service of the Order prepared for such an occasion, decorated the graves o: the nineteen brethren, whose mor- tal remains lie wrapt in slumber in the boson- of mother earth.
