The incredible fact is that Canadian
butter sells cheaper in London, Eng-

the storm of profiteering that sill
Sweeps over the country. It seems

two taverns, four blacksmiths, two
wagonmak'eras three shoemakers, three
tailors, two- painters, two cabinetmak-
ers, one cooper, one tnleat little church
(Bible Christian) and a postaffice."
"A mile north ,of Exeter and in the
same townships a village named:Fran
destown has recently bean laid out,
and already•affers a formidable rival-
ry to its neighbor 'of much older date.
It occupiesamore favorable position
- and enjoys very superior advantages.
The crumbles of. the future village is a
large grist -lira propelled by both
steam and water, another
pronelled by water alone, a sawmill,
prcpeged by water, and a steam saw--,
'mill in course of constructiont Thene
