W. Rosa, of Hensel!, has tak- en a position as clerk at the Commer- cial House. Mrs. Wm. Gri4g, who has been ill for a few weeks, is, we are pleased to note, recovering nicely. The Trivitt Memorial church Bell- ringgels with their families will picnic at Grand Bend today (Thursday). The Exeter Quoit Club will spend Civic Holiday playing a friendly game of quoits with Seaforth players at Sea - forth. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good tunes from coining. Mrs. A. Q. Bolder has disposed of the Hooper property on Huron street, west of Mr. Jas. ('reech's property, to Mrs. W. H. Hooper, of Khiva. The AuvocATE ie the proper place to secure your printed wedding invi- tations --in the very newest styles of paper. type and workmanship. Mr. \Von. Mitchell last Saturday moved his family here from Brantford taking up their residence in the dwell- ing recently vacated by Wm. Treve- thick on North Street. C. H. Sanders returned the latter part of last week frorn his outing with the Press Association and reports a very pleasant and enjoyable time. In another column will be found a sketch of his trip. T. E. Handford shipped a car of horses to the west on Friday. Mr. Handford will this week ship two cars of horses to Winnipeg for exhibition at the Fair there. Messrs. John Snell and Gill.ert Dow will accompany them. While returning from Grand Bend on Saturday evening a load of Exeter young people, when passing another rig, drove over the edge of a culvert and upset the cab. Fortunately they were but slightly injured although the rig was considerably damaged. Another of Exeter's Old Boys has gone in business tor himself. Mr. Lorne Cann, who has been for some months at Hargrave, Man., has moved to IBirtle, Man., and has started a confectionery establishment - "The Boston Cafe." We wish Lorne every success in bis new venture. Mr. Wm. Ktinz, while driving in from the country on Thursday night last, met with a very painful accident. The wheels of the rig came in contact with a heap of gravel on the road and as a result Mr. Kunz was thrown out, wrenching one of his ankles very bad- ly. W.:H. Gregory, law student with Messrs. Gladrnan & Stanhury, and son of our esteemed townsman, Mr. Thomas Gregory, bas passed the Law School Examination for the first year with honors, securing the fifth scholar- ship. It is a pleasure to note the suc- cess of an Exeter boy. A Man's sign offers a astute invita- tion to those only who pass his place of business, his circular can only reach those to whom personal attention is given: but his "ad." in a newspaper goes into the highways and by -ways, finding customers and compelling then) to consider his arguments. Dominion Day was a quiet one in town. Although there were many visitors here, most of them with their friends spent the day at Grand Bend. Centralia or Elirnville. Those who remained at home spent the Clay bowl- ing, (limiting or having a quiet, easy time. For the greater part the day wets wet and disagreeable. The hay crop in this section, which was thought would lee rather slim at one time, is reaching much larger proportions than was t'en't' expected and the result will be a very heavy yield.

Miss E. Huston has been successful in a musical examination held by the University of Tot onto, in Intermed- iate Theory. Miss Huston is a pupil of Mr. Charles Wheeler of London. In conversation with Mr. J. C. Gould, of London, he expressed him- self as well pleased with the possibility of Exeter's holding an Old Boy's Re- union in 1900. He thinks the general opinion of the boys in London would be in favor of such an event.

The final score was 26-15. In the evening Messrs. Blatchford, W. C. Huston, Hurdon and Taman (skip) defeated Messrs. Lang, Perkins, O'Neil and Muir (skip) by 4 shots. Rain prevent- ed the game from being finished. Celebrated Birthday. Messrs. E. H. Spackman, of Blen- heim, and E. J. Spackman of town, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. John Spack- man, celebrated the fiftieth anniver- sary of their birthday at the home of the former in Blenheim during the past week. This is the first like occas- ion on which they have been together for many years, and E. J. Spackman had made for the occasion two beauti- ful gold lockets, containing miniature pictures of themselves, the date of their birth and the present year, one of which he presented to E. H., retain- ing the other for himself. The lockets are beautiful souvenirs of the occasion. Mrs. Spackman and daughter, Miss Stella, accompanied Mr. Spackman to Blenheim and visited for a few days, returning Tuesday evening. Quoit Club Orpaize.

Death of Mrs. Hooper. The news of the death of Mrs. Cecil- ia Hooper, widow of the late William Hooper, which took place in Buffalo, N. Y., came as a surprise and shock to her many friends here on Monday last. Mrs. Hooper bad begin ailing for some months, but her condition was not in the least alarming or consider- ered dangerous -in fact she was able to attend to her usual household duties until about three weeks ago, It was then she was taken down and compel- led to take her bed, but not even then did her case assume a serious nature and she gave promise of recovery; but He who rules all things willed it other- wise and the end came almost sudden- ly. Mrs. Hooper's maiden name was Cecilia Snell, daughter of Mr. John Snell, who resides with his daughter, Mrs. Bagshaw, and for the greater part of her life lived in Exeter. About four years ago she moved to Buffalo where she has since resided. Possess- ed of many good qualities the deceas- ed commanded the respect and esteem of .t large circle of friends who will deeply mourn her sudden and unex- pected demise. She was 49 years, :3 months and 20 days old. Besides the father she leaves a son and a (taught- er,Barton and Loraine, (both of whom were present at het• death), also three brothers -Eli, Charles and George Snell -and threesisters, Mrs. Bagshaw, Mrs. James Ford, and Mrs. Albert were b Ford.
