The Guelph merchants have decided
to' eschew show cards and other fakir ad
vertising, preferring to depend solely on
the regular and reliable newspaper pub•
fictitious.
The market has been dull for some days,
no doubt, owing to farmers taking advant-
age of the good sleighing to do teaming
that cannot well be done at another sea-
son.
Ask to see the new corsets end the new
kid gloves at the new Bankrupt Store,

The idea of etlebrating the first of July
Dominion Day, in preference to 21th of
May, Queen's birthday, in Canada, as ad-
vanced by "Canadian" in last week's
Times, has e great many adherents.
The members of the Exeter Fire Cos,
desire to return thanks to Mr. Lemma
MeTeggart for his kind donation of a sum
of money. The firemen were the means
of saving his property recently, during the
burning of an adjoining residence. Hence
the donation.
An act was passed hist year by the
Local Legislature, requiring hotel keep-
ers to erect fire escapes to their hotels for
the prevention of accident to guest's. At
the time for renewing licenses, all hotels
not provided with fire escapes will be re-
fused licenses. The Government will
positively enforce the new law.
A couple of weeks ago an advt.
of an article lost appeared in the IMES.
The paper had not been issuecl one day
before the finder of the article called and
reported himself. The TIMES is read by
everybody in the neighborhood and is
cousequently an invaluable advertising
medium.
Last year bubding operations to the
amount of about $60,000 took place in
town, and it is expected that the corning
season will he one of activity in the mat-
ter of building. The erection of Verity
& Son's mammoth foundry and a great
many private residences are already pro-
vided for.
We have received from Mr. Geo. Stacey
of South Africa, formerly of Kirkton,
files of the Johannesburg daily Standard.
The paper would do credit to any country.
it is large, well written, and its adver-
tising patronage is good, the people of the
dark cintinent, realizing that advertising
is the keystone of success, cause , their
light, in this connection,, to shine most
brilliautly. The subscription price of
this paper is $12 per annum.
During the past six months many
changes have taken place in mercantile
circles in Exeter. Several more are
spoken of, and among the earlier is an-
nounced a change in the general store
business of Mr. Isaac Carling, his sons,
Thos. 'B. and Will J. Carling being about
to assume the ownership Other changes
are quietly announced but have not
sufficiently developed to warrant oar
publishing them.
The weather prophets, who predicted
an open winter this season, have mistaken
their signs ancl omens, especially with
reference to the weather in this locality.
The earlier part of the season did. give
evidence of mildness, but during the past
few weeks we have had an abundance of
snow—three and four feet on the level—
together with an atmosphere embracing
and characteristic of extreme western
climes.
Bev. Mr. Clement, on Sabbath last,
preached special sermon to the young
men of the congregation. He chose as
his text the fourth verse of the 2nd
chapter of Zechariah 1—"And said unto
him, Run, speak to this young man," &c.
The discourae was interesting as well to
the old as young and many practizal and
timely suggestions were given. The rev.
gentleman will, from time to time, de-
liver special sermons to the young men of
the congregation
Mr, Robt Lang of Exeter, dealt exten-
sively in apples last fall, and almost
daily made large shipments to foreign
markets. Thursday last he received frill
returns from the various points in which
he did business, and to his zuprise learned
that he had lest $1,300 during the season.
Other buyers lost proportionally to bus-
iness done. The yield of apples last year'
was large, but too many buyers going into
the shipping, ruined the prospects of all.
The Education department at Poronto
have issued for the information of teach-
ers, trustees and the general public inter-
ested in school matters a circular on School
hygiene, which is niostly composed of 'a
report on the same subject prepared ' by a
committee of the Provincial Board of
Health. The report, after showing that
typhoid fever and diphtheria and even
consumption are commonly spread • in the
school room, gives instructions which, if
carried out, will be of great benefit to
the health of school children.
An exchange very properly announces:
"We have this weekto refnse the gratu-
itous insertioft of notices for entertain-
ments to be held in the town awl which
an admission fee is charged. The, print,
Mg of , newspapers cost a great deal • of
money, andif the publishers are, to do
advertising free of charge they will soon
have to give up the business. If a notice
in a paper gives publicity an4 thus se-
cured an attendance, it is worth paying
for. Religious and charitable institations
can havetheir notices at five cents per
Het when the object is to raise funds.
When there is no admiseion or,collection
we publish anninineements as a matter of
newe,"
