Mr. Martin is a clever young Dean and if elected would make a good representative. Certain of th3 business men of town have decided to render bills and col- lect accounts quarterly henceforth instead of yearly. The wholesale houses are giving only short credit terms to the retailers and tbe latter find it impossible to carry accounts over so many months. The business men are right. The nearer they get to the cash basis the better it will be for them and for all concerned. All business will sooner or later be placed on a cash or nearly cash basis. H.

Collins in the Trivitt Memorial church on Sunday evening preached a strong mid earnest sermon on "Purity in Elections," in which he denounced in strong language the brib- ery and corruption that et times exist- ed in the politics of s nation. Thr elec- tion of the rulers of the chinch was sometimes characterized by fierce bit- terness. in the state also such was the case. The tuattet should be consider- ed from the broad eternal principles of right and wrong. Men should he ,el lowed to make their choice without be. ing influenced unduly. A minister should not stmt his leaning. Some people thought politics should not he discussed from the pulpit. but he thought all wrong should he condemn- ed. A nation is one. every part should stand for the whole, and legislation should be for the whole. The curse of a nation is the many fectione. Thebal- lot is sacred and should represent citi- zenship which is an honorable thing. We should have before us a great ques- tion and the choice should be overruled by (:,al. The voice of the people may or may not be the voice of God. in using the ballot we should have a high sense of personal responsibility. ('ana• da is filling up with people who do not know the meaning of responsible gov- ernment and that is where the undue influence is brought to hear. Corrup- tion is* horribly debasing spirit in any party. Bribery is a sin against (ind and dethrones Gal in a man's soul. The man who bribes is worse than the man bribed.

Miss Euros 11111, who is engaged with Mrs. Soutbcott, Huron st., was the unfortunate victim of a painful burning accident on Monday afternoon last, which will necessitate her laying off duty for some time. She was en- gaged in cleaning the kitchen stove, which was quite warm at the time. and the polish used apparently con- tained some very intlamruableingredi- ent, for the instant the polish was ap- plied a flame burst up and communi- cated with her clothing. Her screams and shrieks soon brought the inmates to her side. who fsucceededntilinsubduing COUGHS & coLos the flames, but not until Miss Hill was badly burned about the arm and neck. A doctor was called to dress the wounds and she is now doing as well as can be expected. Death of Mrs. Isaac Bawdeu. A former well-known resident of Ex- eter passed away at Barrie, Ont., on Jan. 16th, when the death occurred of Wilmot Kingdom, relict of the late Isaac Bawden, aged 78 years, 8 months and 0 days. Mrs. Bawden had been ill for about five months of ulceration of the stomach from which she suffered a great deal. The end was expected weeks before it cane. Only her very strong constitution and previous ex- cellent health enabled her to keep off the grim destroyer during the last few weeks of her illness. Deceased was a native of Devonshire, England, com- ing to the country with her first hus- band, Mr. John Herd, about 45 years ago and settling in Exeter where Mr. Herd died some years later. Deceased's second husband was Mr. Isaac Baw- den who died about seven yearsago in Strathroy, to which place they had moved three years previously. After the death of Mr. Bawden deceased lived with members of her family in Stratbroy, Saskatoon and Barrie. Two years ago she visited friends here for some weeks. During her residenee in Exeter she made many friends who learned with deepest regret of her death. She was a faithful worker in the James street Methodist church and was always a fervent follower of her Master. The survivors are all mem- bers of the first family. They are. Mrs. Geo. Herd of Stratbroy. Mrs. J. A. Fisher of Toronto, Mrs. G. W. Fyfe and Mrs. S. Herrington of Saskatoon, and Mrs. J. A. Smith of Barrie. The remains were brought here Saturday morning arid taken to the James street church for service, thence to the Exe- ter cemetery for interment. EXETER MARKETS.
