Vrnt,tic of Praise.
tr numerous cerrespeneents this week
showered so lanai praise ou our heads,anent
the issue of last week's Xmas number, that
common modesty prompts us to omit the
many and somewhat lengthy, but kind, ef-
fusiens ; suillee to say that all have been
mare hart perfeeti and give us unbounded
erfelit for the enterprise we have displayed
They are all of one accord : " That the
Tree is verily making steady and rapid
p- ,eress."
A. Protest re Lieenae Fees.
The Wiugbam town council passed the
following resolution at a recent meeting,
and es asking the co-operation of other
municipal bodies in the matter ;
"That in the opinion of this council the
uovernment are doing a great iujustiee to
the several municipalities of this province
by appropriating to themselves such a large
portion of the leper license fees, etc.,
which we beleive justly belong to the mune,
eipalities in ;which such license fees are paid
and collected; and that the clerk be in-
structed to send a copy of this resolution to
the provincial treasurer and to all the towns
and village? of Ontario, and respectfully re-
quest their co-operation in asking the
government to allow all such fees to be
paid tn the said municipalities, less the cost
of enforcing the act."
The Outlook
The approaching elections in Exeter give
;premise of being exciting. Although mat-
, ters in this connecticn have remained
dormant up to a day or two ago, they now
assume a genuine form, and the fight will
• be ono of the keenest everknown in Exeter.
The reeve, Dr Rollins, is to be opposed by
T. H. McCaltum, tanner; while the deputy,
W,GBissett, is to receive opposition in the
• person of Mr Hugh Speakman who sat at
the council Board during the past year.
Por councillors the names of D, A. Ross,
present councillor, L. Hardy, E. Christie,
T. B. Carling, Dr Lutz, W. Harding and
R. S. Lang are freely mentioned. As
nomination approaches other names will be
brought forward. As to the past history
of the present council the ratepayers are
• sufficiently posted ; suffice it to say that
affaira have riot been conducted altogether
to the best interests of the town:
There were about twenty-five young folk
writing 'at the entrance examination in
Exeter this week. Their ages ran from.
15 to 18 years. Mr Johnston, of Hay,
• conducted -the examination. The papers
-this year were very hard, and it is possible
'thatintny will be plucked.

reputation that the Christmas Star has
jastly earned.

Our Finances.
The Treasurer's i eport for Exeter for the
year 1890 has been issued. It shows total
receipts (including last year's surplus of
$2,041.1.47) to the amount of $13)498.10 ;
total expenditure $10,201.52, leaving a sure
plus at the present time of $3,289.61 From
this amountis to be paid to the school
Board, the sui of $180t) balence, leaving a
balance of 51.406.04, to which added $492-
04 uncollected taxes, makes a net surplus
of e1.9813 08 or just $51. 70 len than the
aurpins of last year. Last year's surplus
was iaised by the rate of 14 mills in
the 5, while this year the people were
asked to pay 18 mills which nteans ats in-
creased expenditure over last year of nearly
$3,000. The expenditure is made up of ;
$3,103.63 for labor on roads, !hedges, etc;
$505 pen' county Trees; $2,050 school
Bored ; $525 salaries, eta ; 8000 charity;
52,100 borrowed money ; $2.000 miseel
laneous, eta. The inereased expenditure
for the greater part was on account of roads
ditches, etc., while only $901 extra were
paid the school board for improvements on
the school. Last year the -total amount
paid school board. was 52,949, while for
roads, bridges, parks, etc,, only $1.524
Never in the history of the eorperation was
there so- much money expended on the
streets, and it is high time, (if this enormous
amount is to be yearly expended) that
tenders be asked. for the work in its differ-
ent branches. In this $3,103 for street',
bridges, parks, etc., there has surely been
a ruthless expenditure for nothing of
comparative public value can be shown for
the increased outlay of e1,579 over last
• year.
Mr J. W. Broderick has purchased
the large residence lately occupied by
Jas Pickard, from of the Pickard Es-
tate, and will remodel the same.
On the evg of the 30th inst, an enter-
tainment under the auspices of the S. S.
of the Trivia Memorial Church, will
be giyeu in the opera house. Splendid
program.

against,Capital Punishment. Captains are
Silas Stanlake, jr„ and 0 Prouty. Any

May catch the ear of the buyer for as time, but it won't
keep his trade. Talk is dear to the man who bas his
caution talked away, his scruples talked aside.
To the woman who is talked into over buying or buying a
style of goods that will not stand the test of un-
prejudieeil judgment ; such methods are only
worthy ,
OF A FAKIR AT A FAIR
whose business is to sell and not to satisfy.
These are not our methods. We call ten
dollars ten dollars and not nine dollars and ninety-nine
cents. This reckless reduction of price—thus dressing up
a ten dollar bill to look like a nine—is a fake business.
Talk is cheap wheu all its blowing ends in
One Cent off Ten Dollars
We can show you something cheaper than
talk—we mean our goods—for talk is dear at any price.
Goods with an honest X on them and not ten worked over
