Bus- iness men become disgusted with the annual calendar cry from the young fry who make themselves mere beg- gars for the holiday season. Mereh• ants and others who get calendars get them for their customers and have to exercise care in giving them out if they would have theta go around. Calen• dars cost a lot of money and they are not intended to be thrown around in- discriminately so that any one family may have a dozen. while some of the best customers have to go without. If merchants decide on giving away cal- endars it would be a good idea to look over their ledge's and send one to each by mail. or address one to each custo- mer, who might get it when he called some time during the holidays. Take sorne of the best calendars and they cost X35 a hundred, that's 33e. a piece, and if each got one in a fancily of ten the calendars world cost more than some of them would spend in is whole year at that particular place of busi- ness. }'ar(lithar.

DEATH, -After nine weeks of brave struggle against disease the death oc• cerred on Sunday, Dec 22nd, at 1:31.1 the afternoon, of one of our tnost pop- ular young men, Wm. 11. Stewart, son of Mr. Win. Stewart, at the age of 110 years, '1 months. Nine weeks ago he was taken ill of empyema or chronic preurisy and during the whole of that time his condition was very serious, and but for his naturally strong con• ltihition and the hest of care and at- tention death must certainly have in- tervened some weeks ago. Not only will his death be regretted by his im- mediate fantily, but also by a wide cir- cle of friends. To theta is extended the sympathy of the entire common• ity. Those who sure ire are his parents three brothers. Fred And John of this )place. and J. A. of Regina , now visit- ing at hornet and four sisters Mrs. A. Campbell and Misses (iertie, Nellie and (Tara at home, besides a wife and two children. The funeral took place to tha Exeter cemetery on Tuesday at 1:3) p.m.. and was largely attended.

A fea- ture of the program worthy of special mention was the drills given by the children. tetlecting much credit on both children and Mrs. itacey who in- structed therm. it may he said that this was without exception the best concert ever held under the same aus- pices. Mr. Marshall Miller of JlcGil• iivray 'made it pleasing chairman in the absence of Mr. Fox. who unavoid- ably could not attend. The proceeds amounted to $13.45. -The' concert in connection with 8. 8. No. It. Biddulph, on Friday afternoon was a most en• joyable affair to all who were fnrtun- atP to be present. The program con- sisted of readings, vocal selections, drills bv the children, etc. A special feature of the occasion was the pres- entation of a beautiful silver fruit dish and pickle cruet by the pupils of the school to the teacher, Miss NellieJam- ieson, who is about to sever her con- nection with the school. These beautiful gifts were accompanied by a flattering address, expressive of their regret at her leaving. The program Ower luncheon was served to which all did ample justice. -Wm.

The Advocate Extends Heartiest Greetings To The Many Readers And Customers Thames Road DE-tThl.-The sad and sudden death occurred on Friday, Dee. 20, of one of Usborne's bright and promising young men, Wilbur Passmore, son of Mr.and Mrs. Thomas Passmore, aged 30 years, 4 months and 18 days. The young man had been ill for about a year of pernic- ious anaemia, supposed to have h c n contracted by hard work and studious habits while engaged in the Stratford Collegiate Institute. When he came home in December last he was very ill but during the following summer he improved considerably and appeared to be gaining. The illness returned somewhat ice t he autumn and although he had been up and about he was not in the hest of health. The end carne very suddenly while he was in the kitchen, shortly after bidding good bye to sotne friends who bad been vis- iting at the home. The sympathy of the many friends is extended to the family. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery Monday afternoon. ADDITIONAL LOCALS Xmas. Entertainment. The annual -l" mas. entertainment of the Sunday School of the Trivitt Me - moria) church was a most gratifying success and will goon record as the hest. ever held under these auspices. The attendance was large but not so large as it other wise would have been had the weather been more favorable. The Rector Rev. D. %V. Collins occupied the chair in his usual happy and pleas- ing manner and the program, which. with few exceptions, was given by the scholars of the school, consisting of Xmas. Carols, songs, drills, dialogues, readings, etc., was one of delight to all. The military and physicial exercises by twenty boys in uniform, under the instruction of Seargea tit Major Hector were admirably performedand brought forth round after roun1 of applause. The little fellows deserve the highest praise for the excellent manner in which they did the work, reflecting much credit on both the boys and their instructor. The violin and cor• net duets by Miss Jertuetand Mr,\Vm. Berry were enthusiastically encoured as was also the drills by the girls. The farce comedy was a splendid number, showing the Latent talent in the young- er element of our population to be of no mean ortler. There were many oth- er members worthy of special men- tion, but space will not permit of fur- ther comment. A special feature of the event was the presentation of a medal to Sergeant ajor Ilector by N. D. Hurdon on behalf of his son Errick for the painstaking efforts and trouble Mr. Hector had shown towards per- fecting them in the drill. The accom- bpaniments throughout were furnished y Mr. Brown the organist and were excellently supplied. Tbe entertain- ment teas brought to a close by all sing- ing God Save the King. The proceeds amounted to $36. Harpley \VEDDIVriv--One of the prettiest weddings of the season was (tuietlp celebrated at the home of Mrs. T. N. Ilayter, when her daughter Mise Sadie gave her heart and hand to Mr. Roy Brothers of Winnipeg. The interesting event took place on Wednesday. Dec. 18, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Newton, Rector of Grace church and was witnessed bv only a few intimate friends. Miss lladie has been holding a vety lucrative position as stenographer in Hamilton.

After the ceremony and congratulations were over the company adjourned to the dining room where a most tempt- ing repast was pat taken of. The bride received many beautiful gifts. After tea the happy couple took the evening train to eastern points to spend their honeymoon. Tbe best wisbes of a host of friends are theirs for bright and prospeonns married life.
