John Bissett,of London, formerly of Exeter, on Saturday, in the London Gun Club shoot,won the trophy in the second series, which has extended over the last three months. The trophy was a beautiful cup. Seaforth, yesterday, held a summer carnival with the worthy object of getting money to purchase the recre- ation grounds. Besides other sports a quoit tourney was held, in which sev- eral of the Exeter players took part. The death took place in Stratford last week of Mrs. Pinch, a former resi- dent of Exeter. Deceased had been ill for some weeks. She had during the last few years resided with her daughter, Mrs.(Dr.)Bothwell, in Strat- ford. Mr. Geo. Crawley, by force of cir- cumstances, does not move very rap- idly these days. On Monday evening he injured one of his legs, the result of stepping on a banana peel. The leg was not sprained but we are inclined to think bis religion was. In the place of Mr. O'Brien, who re- cently resigned, the Exeter School Board have engaged the services of Miss A. Chidley, of Clinton, a winner of the Blake Scholarship in mathema- tics and the holder of a first-class cer- tificate. Miss Chidley will have charge of the Commercial work.

Mr. Samuel Fulton has disposed of his dwelling on Huron street, t i Mr. Chas. Dorwond, of Chicago, a former resident of Exeter. The Trice paid was $900. Air. Fulton intends moving to Granton where he formerly resided, and as stated last week Mr. Durwood will stove here in the near future. Mr. 1Vm.

Horton has Inst since March, all of thein, however, had more than reached the aalloted span of life, the combined ages of the three aggre- gating 258, or an average of 8ti years each. After the midsummer vacation the rural schools re -opened on Monday, while those in villages, towns and cit- ies will reopen two weeks later, Sept. 5th. Owing to a scarcity of peda- gogues throughout Ontario a number of schools are yet witholtt teachers and there seems to be little or no likeli- hood of their being supplied. Mr. B. 8. O'Neil disposed of a por- tion of hie hon.ehnld effects on Satur- day last by public auction, Chief (sill wielding the hammer. Nearly every- thing sold well. We understand Mr. O'Neil will remain in town for a few weeks before moving to Toronto, while Mrs. O'Neil and daughter, Mise Irene will visit in Lucan for a time. A total eclipse of the sun will take place on August 29th and 30th and will be partially visible in this part of Ontario on the bitter day, Ailg. 30th. It will begin at 5;39 a.m., the maxi- mum occurring at 0:31 and ending at 7:34. It will be one of the grandest and most striking astronomical phe- nomena that has ever been witnessed in Canada. On Tuesday the tinpleaeant sight was seen in the village of a men driv- ing a team of horses, txath of which were enfTering from what is commonly called "greased heel."

While fishing about fifteen miles up the Maitland from Goderieh one day last week Mr. Frank Toni, who has been visiting his parents here, had phenomenal luck in one little pool. In three easts with a three -fly line he se- cured seven beautiful black bass, hav- ing a total weight of 1-1 lbs., 2 oz. The first cast brought up three, and the second and third casts two each. The largest weighed 2 lbs., 2 oz., the other- two lbs. each. Of course, these were not all the flsh Mr. To►n caught. By the one -at -a -tithe ruethod he secured several other tine bass during the day. P ares Laborers' Exeursior. The date of the first farm Laborers' Excursion to Manitoba and Assinihoia has been changed from August 20th to August 25th. The early ripening of the grain is the cause of an earlier demand for labor. Plower Festival With Art and Curio Exhibit will be given by the \Votuan's Institute in the Opera House, Exeter, on August 31st and Sept. 1st, commencing at 2.30 and 7 p.m. each day. A musical entertain- ment will be given each afternoon and the orchestra will be in attendance each evening. Admission 10 eta. Miss Halle, Mrs. Hastings, Pres. Sec'y. A Novel Setteace. A novel sentence was recently met ed out to a Michigan farmer who was too fond of his booze and while being novel it is well worthy of being copied by the otherudica ty. The judge's sentence read like this: "I will give you thirty days on your own farm and of caught off the premises I will have you confined in the House of Correc- tion." Needless to say it had the de- sired effect the man now goes into the city, does his business and goes home sober and has not tasted liquor in five months. Oa Nei Italia An agitation is now on foot to have Thanksgiving Day fixed for the last Monday in October of each year, in- stead of making a different date each year. Undoubtedly there is no better day for a holiday than Monday because it gives people, whose occupation calls them away from home, a chance to spend two days with their families, and there is not the slightest reason why a certain week day in it certain month might not be always suitable for a Thanksgiving Day, just as the first Monday in Se tenibet• is fixed for Labor Day. The Ottawa Government is being asked to consider the matter. For similar reasons our Municipal Council would do well to follow the example of most towns and cities with regard to Civic Holiday. Most places have this holiday fixed for the first or second Monday in August of each year, which is touch more satisfactory than having the dates vary so greatly as we have had in Exeter. Died of Nis Injuries. The sad accident that befell Mr. Robert Cann, of the sixth concession of Usborne, last week, has terminated fatally, and as a result one of the oldest pioneers and moat highly respected residents of the township, as well as a usesul life has been brought to an end. As was reported in our last issue de- ceased had been working in the barn and in some unaccountable manner fell from the prow and injured his spine in such a manner that he never recovered from the shock. At times be would brighten up in a way that he would lead his friends to look forward with some degree of confidence to his recovery, but on Sunday his condition was unmistakable and tie passed peacefully away. Although he had long since passed the alloted span of life his untimely end has cast a gloom over the whole neighborhood. Deceas- ed was horn in England in 1825, conse- quently he was in the 80th year of his age. Mr. Cann was a consistent mem- ber of the Methodist church and a staunch Reformer in politics. He was a mean of high moral standing. noted fur his sterling qualities and to every- thing he slid he :applied the qualities of thoroughness. Ile leaves a wife and fancily -three sons and three dough• tars--Thoutas, John and Charles; Mrs. George Kerslake, and Mrs. I3. %'iI- lituns, of Usborne, and Mrs. Miller, of Kincardine. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery Tuesday. Death of Archibald Modaert. Another of the sturdy pioneers of this district pays nature's debt and is laid to rest from his labors. We refer to Mr. Archibald Hrxigert, who passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, Lon- don, on Saturday last, at the nge of 77 years, 6 months and 1 dray. Mr. Hod- ggert had been ailing ever sinee hast December from an ,attack of gangrene in his feet, and while for the greater part of the time he was able to be around the disease was gradually per- forming its deadly work. It was thought that an operation height int• prove his condition and with this end in view went to the hospital, where he underwent an operation for the re- moval of the second toe on the left foot. The operation, however. proved of no avail and the disease spreading rapidly through his system soon his life sante to an end. Mr. I1 tdger•t was horn at Kilharchan, Scotland, in 1828 and four years later carte with his parents to C';anad;a, settling in the County of Lanark. in the year 1853 he moved to the township of 1-shnrne, whet e, by dint of energy, he stieceed- ed in accumulating considerable of this world's goods. 11e tensa 1hnrnngll f:arno•i, it man of sterling irrineiples. honest and industrious and his many old ftiendsand neighbors will learn with deep regret of his demise.
