Annexa DAY.—Citizens should bear in mind the fact that. the first Friday in May is Arbor Day.

Mr. Leathorn has been in the employ of the Carling Brewing end Malting Company as traveller, for the past fourteen years, an'd'_ becoming tired of the, occupation resigned to take charge of the above+mehtioned hotel. We wish John success in his new venture. A rather practical joke was worked on one of our citizens the other night.

The affair was gotten up by the young ladies, and the decorations, which were grand, reflected much credit on the promoters. A very pleasant time was spent in' social chat,as'a'so in Hatt ning to ti e rendition of a carefully prepared program of singing, readings,recitations, etc. On Tuesday evening, some youths tied a string across the side walk on Main street, near the Meth. church, about a foot above ground, their, object being to trip the peo- ple returning hone from the "At Home." Fortunately, Capt. Geo. Bemp happened along about 10 o'clock, and noticing the trap, cut the string, thus preventing any accidents which might have resulted. This conduct on the part of the sharp alecks, is nefarious, and should be lawfully rewarded. There died. at Blyth on Friday last, the wife of Mr. Alex. Smith of that village, and daughter of Mr. D. Turnbull of Exeter. Although the deceased lady had been i11 for some time, from the effects of la grippe, she was, thought to be improving up• to her demise.It appears he. took a fainting spell and although the. physician who had been attending her through her sickness was thereat the tune, he could do nothing. Unfortunately, he' husband was in Exeter buying horses, and being out in the cowl - try he heard nothing of the sad oceurrence until Saturday at noon, when he arrived in town. The deceased leaves a loving hus- band and five small children to mourn her loss. The funeraltook place on Monday afternoon to Union Cemetery, Blyth, fol- lowed by a very large concourse of sorrow- ingfriends . Thebereaved ones have the sympathy of the whole community in their loss. LING CROS We shall not he stocked Because SOLD we will not be. We shall not be overstocked Because we will not be undersold.
