my life. In the winter of 1887 I was at
taoked by a severe pain in my bit side
canned by a fall from a building during the
previous summer. I got relief every time
it was bathed with the MINARD'S LINI

a few bottles. This liniment has made
some wonderful cures.

ADVANCING!
Step by step one goes along way! The
hare ridiculed the tortise for its slowness,
but the tortise laughingly replied : "I will
beat you in a race 11' And while it may
be a fable it is none the less true in busi-
ness pursuits and with men.
The undersigned is just closing the
fifteenth year of his business career, and
although we may be considered slow, we
have been plodding on amidst great odds,
but this finds us still in the race.
During those fifteen years many
changes have come over the business
visage of Exeter. There are only three
places of business now in operation
showing the same managing heed and
other two tliat have made partial changes
with new managers,that were contempo-
raries in 1876. I feel myself indebted
to my many customers for their liberal
patronage afforded me during these
years. Whether large or small pur-
mheses, they have my sincere thanks,
and I would ask a continuance of the
same, It will be mine to study their
needs, seeking to place before thein
goods equal to those of the past, assur-
ing the purchasers of proper attention
and doing our best to meet the wants of
the most fastidious.
I remain Yours,

and settled in these parts. He died after a
brief illness of six days at the age of 53
years, 8 mos. The remains were interred

ever held in Zurich, which shows: the high
esteem in which Mr Hess was held by the
surrounding neighborhood.

Wareing babies.—This was quite a novel
contest which afforded great amusement for
the onlookers. There was a largo number
of contestants and the judges were some
time in giving their decision. The judges
were Messrs G. Oookman, of Hensel', J. G
Troyer iiud J, Hagan, of Hills Green, all
single gentlemen, which fact probably ac-
counted for their hesitation in awarding the
prizes, which were as follows lst, Tillie
Kibler; 2nd, Mary Demuth; 3rd, Annie
Hess. The most exciting part of the sports,
however, was the tug of war between a
picked team of 10 boys. After three excit-
ing pulls the side captained by J. Kibler
was declared victorious After the sports
came a sumptuous repast such as only the
people of Zurich can set on a table. The
afternoon was taken up by boating, etc.
The lake was very calm and every one
seemed to enjoy themselves. During the
afternoon an exciting tug of war was got up
by the men. The captains were Messrs J.
Williams and Thomas Johnston. Mr W.
succeeded in pulling ;his opponent across
the scratch. A game of foot ball was played
between a patched -up team from Zurich
and Hills Green. After a considerable
amount of discussion on both sides,
e the
clubs decided to play 1 hour'hut at thend
of half time the score stood 3 to Q in favor
of Hills Green, This was very good play-
ing even then, for the boys from Zurich, as
only three of them were at all acquainted
with the game. The success of the Hills
Green men was largely due to the playing
of Witmer, a neenther of the Clinton club,
and who lives much nearer to Attrioh than
Hills Green. After the foot ball a game of
base ball was played between the same
teams. After two innings were played the
score stood 11 to 1 in favor of Zurich.
However the Hills Green boys are jolly
good fellows, and we hope to meet them
again in the near future. The picnic on
he whole was a grand success.

'Zion
FOOT Saturday night last a
friendly game of foot ball was played be-
tween the "Queen's Own," of Sunabine,
and the ,,Uuion Bunters," of Zion. The
Sunshine lads aro to be (wedded for their
good entreat and the manly way in which
they treated the Zion boys. Although good
playing was done an both sides the Bunters
ueually kept the ball too near the Sunshine
goal for comfort, and the goalman be-
ooraing nervous ana the perspiration be-
ginning to flaw, let the ball pass him twice.
Score 2 to 1 in favor of Zion.

Baxzes—On Friday last the R. C. church.
at this place narrowly escaped deetruction
by fire. It is snpposed that the boys while
in the vestry of the church, carelessly
threw a match among some paper. which
igniting, soon caused the woodwork to catch
fire Rev Father Kealey luckily sent the
boys to open some of the windows to air
the church, when tho fire Was diecovered.
The aierm was given and it was wirh some
difficulty that the flames were staid and
the fire extinguished. Loss considerable.
Insured.—James Doyle, cattle exporter, re-
cently retarned home from the Old Country
in a very low state of health, having had an
attack of la grippe. He had been lying in
an almost helpless condition, until the other
day, under the care of Dr Rollins of Exeter,
he commenced to improve, and is now, we
are pleased to state on a fair way to recov-
ery.—Rev Father Kealey has recovered from

Fon BILL—On Saturday evening Met a
picked team from Eden and surrounding
(reentry, known as 'The Eden Football Club'
played with the 'Aletts' of No 1 McGillivray
on the ground of Wesley Maguire. Some
very good playing was done on both sides
and the two teams were very evenly match-
ed. Eiden scored one goal in first half
time, and one in the second half, or at least
they claim two goals. Notes—Downing did
most of the playing for McG ; Dempsey
has wonderful control over his team, but he
cannot stop Charlie's mouth; Bowuen plays
a strong game ; McGillivray forwards are a
little slow, A little faster boys, if you wish
to score. Wesley was down—to see the
game no doubt. A large crowd witnessed
the game. Come again Edan boys, but
don't get mad if you cannot get more goals,
even if the refereedoes give you ten minutes
after half time to score in.
A strawberry festival was given in the
Nursery church on Monday evg. last. A
good time was spent by ell present,proceeds
