Saturday was "Tax Day" and many
a man had a more or fess difficult time
raising the necessary "dust" to satisfy
the municipal demands. It is not be-

The Free Press says. -"The King's
Hotel, Kingsville, has been purchased
by Win. Brundage of that town." The

months from now.
Business in town was paralyzed on
Saturday by the heavy wind and snow

thing experienced all last winter. Sun-
day morning however, the wind went
down and a quiet fall of snow made
excellent sleighing. Business this
week is in consequence very brisk.

Died in London.
Mrs. Patrick McPhillips, one of the
best-known and most highly -esteemed
residents of London. passed away at

A Poor Aggregation.
Seldom -if ever -has the stage of
the Opera House here been besmirch-
ed with such an aggregation of misfits
and minstrel mistakes as that which
held forth on Thursday night last un-
der the title of The Bert Lane Minstrel
Co►npeny. The patronage was liberal,
many occupying seats that cost fifty
cents, which, considering the quality
of the entertainment (?) would be
dear at ten cents. say nothing of the
waste of time. From any viewpoint
whatever the production was a contin-
ied conglomeration of odds and ends
-well nothing, even disgusting the
tle children. There was not the
mblance of an actor in the whole
wd of over twenty. and those to
in the work was assigned were
ore like a lot of miners or chant -
(nyder cooks than a company of en-
ainers. The singing ton lent no
tris to the test of the horseplay.
was simply awful. In fact it is little
ort of criminal to ififlict on an midi -
nee. it must be said. however. that
P orchestra selections were good, and
t to serve as the only redeeming
ire and retaining the crowd to the
el, but the performance in itself was
dr below what the public were led
.,o expert that it was a distinct case of
fraud. }iow tench an aggregation ex-
ists on the road is a mystery. Exeter-
ites will certainly long remember the
Lane Minstrels as the most consum-
mate fraud that ever struck the town.
