In the article we recited tate different factories in operation here i iredttw with five years ago as come' those of to -day, and also made men- tion of the larr,e :,mount of money that has oecn taken otlt of Exeter. • secured fron► our townspeople .or Zpromoters to further the interests of outside concerts, the stock of borne of which. not being worth tl.e paper it is written on. But, while sonlo'of the promoters have Jeeu fakes, pure and simple, a few have worked in the interests of laudaale enterprises, tor which they could not secure etiough support in 4heir own bourns but have done considerable in adding to their advance• ment by establishing in-stitutio-ta which are on a paying basis and give employment to mato' who wvould na- turally have to ;o elsewhere to make a living. It is a fact. that there are towns not many miles from Exeter, and although their agricultural sur- roundings aro not in any way to be compared with what our town en- joys. still they have in some manner made greater strides in progress than we have. For instance, take t he town of Berlin, whish about' twenty years ago hardly enjoyed anything but a place on the trap. It has progressed wonderfully, erred has several good sized factories :is an evidence of its progressiveness. They have no doubt received the moral and financial support of the citizens• The town of \Wingham is another place that has shown a progressive spirit. It has a number of factories and we are informed that the tax rate is about 22 miils on the dollar. and that about $40.000 has been loaned by the municipality to assist some of the different industries. The tax rate of Exeter is about 19 mills, a dif- ference of 3 tnills between the two places. \\gingham has two railroads to be sure, and we want two, hut a railroad oompany is not going to ex • pend an immense amount of money i►1 a country settled as long as this has, and wait for business. They want the business in sight. it is a well known fact that we have a school that affords excellent educational facilities and itt • ono f t T.

The following we take from the Clinton New Erb and should also apply to Exeter:— drawing; card to those who desire to locate in Exeter. But on the other hand, take a man with a .rrowinx family residing in a small place and he will naturally look around for a suitable location, where employment can ere had, and while a place with an educational institution is desired, almost any town of any consequence enjoys a good school and teaching faculty.

"GET A IIUSTLE ON "With the exception of God••rich, "Clinton is the best town directly "north of London and west of "Stratford.
