The -drools reopened again on Mote day after a week's holidays. A quantity of coal ashes may be bad for drawing away by calling at this office. Mr. Jos. Snell still continues in a very low state of health with little or no signs of improvement. Nobody knows what is going on un- der the merry widow hat. It serves equally well as a screen or umbrella. Constable Bissett and Mr. James \Veekes erected the fire alarm bell at the Not th end of the town on Monday. Mrs. Ransom is at present in a poor state of health, being confined to her bed through a large internal growth. The very warm and pleasant weath- er of the latter part of last week gave gave way to a cooler, more windy and rainy variety this week. Spring seeding is well advanced in this locality, even some of the farmers are through, Mr. John Shute of near Kirkton having completed his last week. Not always is the front seat in an entertainment room sought after, but the " Merry Widow " Hat has reversed this order of things, and now every- body attempts to get in the front row. Nearly 50 years as manager of a newspaper is a good record for W. R. Davis, who has now entered his 49th year as the proprietor of the Mitchell Advocate. Mr. Davis is still in his prime. The Merry %Vidow hats are becom- ing fierce. A lady wearing one of the extreme type tried to enter a Detroit street car and found both doors too narrow to allow her to go through without tilting her head. The bat oc- cupied the whole space two feet above the seat and the woman took half a seat below. Mrs. A. Q. Bobier last week disposed of her tine dwelling on Main at. to Mr. Wm. Cudmore of Kippen, who will move to town some time in May. We understand Mrs. Bobier intends leav- ing town, at least for the present, hav- ing decided to spend the summer in the North West. While we much re- gret to loose Mrs. Bobier and family we extend a welcome band to Mr. Cud►uore and family. Mr. \Vm. Knight of town is receiv- ing congratulations these days on the excellent success be attained in the first year course of his medical studies at the London College. having passed in all the subjects and secured honors in the greater number of his exams.; first class honors in anetotny, second in physiology. first in botany, first in zoology. second iii materia tnedica, first in practical anatomy. Did you ever stop to reflect that itis one thing to talk about people and an- other thing to have people talk about you? If those of us who use our ton- gues a little too freely, about our neighbors, would stop and reflect about this matter, and know the great evil that comes of too much gossip and tattling, we are sure we would call a a halt. It is understood that Mr. L. C. Flem- ing will resign his position as Princi- pal of the Exeter School, to accept the Secretaryship of the Huron County 1'. M. C. A., with headquarters at Clinton. The change will not be made until the holidays, however. He is well qualified for the position and un- doulttedly it would be to his advant- age (tont a health standpoint, as he has been ill somewhat lately, owing, it is thought. to too close confinement. The London Free Press of Monday in part says:—"A worthy prMnlotion was male a few days ago, when Mr. Robert Barnes. of the titin of Tennent & Barnes. of this city, was made the chief inspector of meats in the Pro- vince of Ontario by the Government. Mr. Barnes has for some time been the travelling inspector of this system, and at the resignation of the chief in- spector, Dr. Ward, was appointed in bis place." Mr. Barnes was a former resident of Exeter and his many friends here will be pleased to hear of his new appointment. The scarlet fever patients in town are all doing nicely, and the epidemic will likely be confined to a few as the disease is of a mild type. A walk a- round the town Sunday revealed the sufferers' faces at the windows, husking bright and happy once more, and at one place particularly, that of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Davis, the children are able to be out of doors and look with longing eyes upon the street. and wishing with all their hearts that the doctor wonld hasten the day when the objectionable card "Scarlet Fever" !night be removed from their door and give them liberty once again. Magistrates Kay and Farmer heard a case in the Town Hall on Thursday last. arising nut of the Dominion Fruits Act. Three inspectors were present from Montreal for the purpose prosecuting Mr. R. H. Lang for allow- ing his apple packers to pack inferior goods. it appeared by the evidence Mr. A. dustings was called to his home in Crossbill Tuesday last owing to the severe illness of his brother. Look Out for This Chap The police have been notified to keep a lookout for a smooth shark who has done up merchants in several Ontario towns. He repreeeuts himself as audi- tor of the Empire News Cie, of New York, and Montreal, and pretends to handle Ladies' House Jemmied patterns, for which be makes contracts and col- lects the moue). He fa not particular as to the amount, but will take all he can get. His real name is G. W. Douglass, but,he uses several aliases. Ile is about forty years old, weighs ISO pounds, hair and complexion light, face round, heavy fair mustache. A jolly looking and smooth -talking cus- tomer. A reward of $25 is offered for his arrest. Worlds's Champion In deafeating Will Conery, the Guelph boy at Guelph on Tuesday, a ten hour roller skating grind for the chatupionship of the world, Dan Wig- gins, of Godericb, covered 103 and 1-10 miles. Conery defeated Gatees, the Australian champion, on the same rink several weeks ago by skating 188 laps, or 120 miles, snaking a new world's record for the time, and now this bas been extended by over 40 mil- es by Wiggins in skating 153laps with- out leaving the flour. Neither skaters stopped one instant in the time. The pace was set at a hot clip by Wiggins from the start, and by one o'clock he made his lead 2i miles. Conery never being able to get away, although he tried repeatedly, and at the finish he was 27 laps behind, 40 miles above his own previous record. Swath Harem Licoases.

Ctoaa Up - Where do all the old tin cans, broken bottles and scraps of one kind and an- other come from't They were not there last fall; but the going of the snow reveals the back yard dotted with all sorts of rubbish. One is tempted to believe that it carne down with the snow. But, however it got there, it is there now; and the sanitary inspector will see it when he comes, if it is not got away pretty soon. So the word goes forth: " Clean Up ! " Clean up for the sake of appearances. That pile of ashes put there is no ornetrnent. Neither is that heap of old tea -leaves, potato -skins, and such, over in that other corner. Those "dead soldier" tin cane don't shine like jewels. Get them away. Clean up for health's sake. The garbage that was frozen all winter begins to rot in the warm sun- light and develops germs of many kinds. Typhoid may he waiting for youe or malaria, or a dozen other di- seases. So remove the possible cause. Maybe you don't care for appearances. and are willing to take the chance of disease. \Nell, the health inspector will get you if you don't watch out. You may have some regard for your pocket. if so, clean up, and escapetbe chance of having a fine to pay. Interesting Entertainment. The James street Sunday School en- tertainment in the church on Monday evening was a pleasing success in point of program and attendance. The chair was occupied by the pastor, Rev. A. 11. Going, in his usual able manner. while Miss Brown made an excellent musical directress and accom- panist. The chairman in his opening remarks requested the ladies who were not bald to remove their hats. Need- less to say the request was inune•diate• Iy complied with much to the satisfac- tion of everyone, as the ladies' hats this year are about the size of the or- dinary umbrella and effectively shut off observation from the rear-. The program rendered was an excellent one consisting as it did of neunbets from each class in the school, in songs. recitatioiix, dialogues, etc. Some of the numbers were, Violet Song by six trills, Recitation by Gerald Fitton, Hong by five boys. Recitation by Vel- ma Easterbrook, Qanertette by young men's bible class, Dialogue by six girlie Recitation by harper Rivers, Song by eight girls, Chorus by adult bible class, EXETER MARKETS.
