Something rare—a weekly news-
paper that publishes seventy columns
of good, reliable news, comments on
current events. markets, and genera!
farm news each week is rare in these
days of cheap weeklies. Credit is due
The Weekly Sun for keeping its
columns clean and filled with fresh
and up-to-date matter of vital interest
to every farmer. Give it a trial; you
will find it the best. The Advocate
and The Weekly Sun costs you but
$1.80, The Sun free for balance of 1908,
and they are extra good value at that
price.
Those who attended the perform-

the Opera House on Wednesday night
were highly pleased with entertain-

Only a small crowd was present. It
is au unfortunate thing that a good
company should not be well patroniz-
ed. as we get only too few of them in
Exeter. It is no fault of the people.
and no fault of the company, but is
the result of the people being bitten

little plain newspaper talk should be
of use in enabling people to discrimin-

Last week a young man named Rus-
sell Bloomfield of Centralia came be-
fore Magistrate Kay on the charge of
stealing the sum of 857 from William
Gilmore of Mooresville some weeks
ago. It would appear that the two
had been driving and both becoming
somewhat "tanglefoot" the money got
transferred from the pocket of one to
that of the other, both claiming no
knowledge of the transfer. Next
morning Gilmore missed the wad and
on approaching the other about it he
was handed hack the money less some
seven dollars. Information was laid
and evidence taken. when an adjourn-
ment was made to submit the evidence
to the crown attorney who asked that
the evidence in full be retaken. Such
was done on Thursday last with the
result that the young man was sent
up to (loderich for trial.

The following refers to the mother
of Mrs. R. G. Seldon of Exeter:—The
death of Margaret Ellen Mann, belov-
ed wife of Assessor W..1. Berry, re-
curred Nov. 11, after an extended ill-
ness. She had been confined to her
bed for the past two Months, and
while it was known that her condition
was serious, the announcement of her
death neve' theles, conte as a shock to
many friends by whom she was highly
esteemed for her many admirable
qualities. The late Mrs. Berry was
born in the Township of Derehaul, and
WAS the dauighter of the tette John
\tans. When seven years of age she
moved with her parents to Strathroy,
where she resided for thirteen years.
In lti7,1 she came to Ingersoll, and two
years latter was married to Mr. Berry.
Deceased had been a member of the
Charles street Methodist church for
over ;lit years, and for a long period
took a very active part in the work of
the 1 tdit'+' aid. Besides the husband
she is survived by two sone and three
daughters.

CLEVER STORIES
In the Family Herald and Weekly
Star this week, there begins a series of
short stories entitled "The Old Home
House" which are very clever. A
complete story appears in each week's
paper. There are eleven in all. Every
paragraph means roars oi laughter
and enjoyment. The Family Herald
and Weekly Star certainly gives big
value for one dollar in a whole year's
readiug of that great paper. It is said
the Family Herald and Weekly Star
rarely loses a subscriber. and old sub-
scribers this season are renewing
months ahead so as not to miss a single
paper. The Family Ilerald and Week-
ly Star becomes more valuable every
year and it should find a place in
every Canadian home.
An editor died and slowly wended
his way to where he thought a warm
reception awaited him. The devil saw
him and said: "For many years thou
hast borne the blame for errors the
printers have made in the paper has
gone, alas, for 41 and the 81 h,ts often
failed to come in. The printers have
deviled thee on Saturday night when
thou hadst not a cent to thy name.
Men have taken the paper without
paying for it and then cursed thee for
not getting out a better one Thou
has been called a dead beat by all pass-
enger conductors when thou has shown
thy annual pass to envious gaze. All
these thou bast borne itt silence. Thou
canst not come in. Heaven is thy
hone. And besides if we would let
you come in here you would continu-
ally dun delinquent subscribers,—for
—is full of them,—and thus create dis-
cord in my kingdom."
Tho Mock Trial.
This unusual entertainment given
by the ulem'lers of the James street
League in the church on Friday even-
ing last proved to he a very enjoyable
affair as well as a financial success.
A large crowd of interested spectators
was present, and those who took part
showed considerable skill in play-act-
ing, presenting their parts well; so uni-
formly gond were they that it would
be impossible to specialize in corpulent
on the work. The trial became necess-
ary owing to Mr. indifferent Outlook,
chairman of the Outlook Committee,
becoming negligent in his work, with
the result that it had not progressed,
members had drifted away, and young
men had gone astray. Witnesses
were called for the prosecution and
defence; they were examined and
cross•exawined by counsel, and finally
the prisoner was left in the hands of
the jury, who found him guilty, but
recommended that he be let off on
suspended sentence to see if he might
improve. Such, accordingly, was the
sentence unposed by the judge, and it
is not doubted that after hie narrow
escape he will improve considerably.
He's going to
quit the
