Special Notice! During this week our usual Supply of Holiday Stock will be opened and dis- played for sale, so that on and after Dec 5th we will be in a fair position to re- ceive •.ur customers and their friends. We sincerely trust that the exhibit this year will be found in every way satis- factory. Much to cur surprise we find a large number living within a few miles of Exeter who have not yet called, This is a mistake. Our stock is equal, and we think superior, to any found in vil- lages of this size ; in fact we know it to class well with the majority of those found in city stores. We are steadily endeavoring to make it more widely known and will not rest content until it has been iuspeett;d by at least the ma- jority of those living within ten or fif- teen miles of Exeter. We know that if unable to sell, our stock will at least please ; and so cordially invite every reader of Tin Trims to call with their friends at least once during December and take a look through. J.

The management of theTrivr Trivitt Memorial Church have under consideration the erec- tion of a school room in connection with the church. Mr. McBride, architect, of London, was in town last week in reference to this matter, and was instructed to pre- pare plans, and estimate cost of construc- tion of a suitable buil-ling. This will be done at once and submitted to the commit- tee at an early date. A. vestry meeting was held in the Trivitt Memorial Church on Thursday evg. last. There was a full attendance, and among other business transacted a committee was appointed to take proceedings for the in- auguration of a system of weekly offerings, instead of the mode of raising funds at irregular intervals, which has been in vogue. There was considerable discussion over the question, but the conaesus of opinion was for the weekly envelope offering. At the annual meeting of the Exeter Fire Co.

The thirtieth anniversary of the James Street Meth. Church took place on Sunday and Monday last, and was, despite the in- clemency of the weather, among the most successful in the annals of the church. On Sunday sermons were preached by Rev. Mr. McDonagh, in the morning, and Rev. J. S. Henderson (Presbyterian) of Hensall, in the evening, both of which were dis- courses specially prepared for the occasion, and which were practical 'and impressive and delivered with eloquence. RIn the afternoon an open Sabbath School service was held, at which Revs. McDonagh and the pastor of the'church delivered suitab'e addresses to a large attendance of scholars, teachers and friends. Monday evg. the weather was very inclement, but notwith- standing, the annual tea was a success. As usual, the ladies of the church had well - spread tables, literally laden with the best of viands, and were charac'eri tically at- tentive in waiting upon their guests. In fact, they well sustained their past envi- able reputation. Jsatice having been dome the good things, all repaired to the body of the church, where the intellectual feast was awaiting them, the Revs. McDonagh and Allin being the only two speakers present of those announced on the program, the others being unavoidably absent. Rev. Mr. Russell occupied the chair. The ad- dresses were of an interesting character, and from the countenances of the audience must have pleased and entertained. The choir furnished suitable music. Together with the collections, and the proceeds of a social on Tuesday evening, the receipts amounted to $195. Remember Manson's big sale of Boots & Shoes. Next to post office.
