A quiet hut interesting wedding took place at the residence of Mr. Frank Gill on Wednesday afternoon, being the marriage of his second daughter, Lillian, to Mr. Theodore Sweet, of Mitchell, formerly of Exeter.

Russell per• formed the ceremony in the presence of a number of the bride's near rela- tives and friends The happy couple will make Mitchell their future home. The following is a reply to a letter sent to the Ontario Government con- cerning rabbit shooting and may be of interest to our local sports. "In re- ply to your letter I have to say t. at the little animal, commonly called the ' cotton tail", and generally supposed to be a rabbit, is not a rabbit at all, but in reality a hare, and as such is protected after December 15 This, however, does not prevent the animal from being shot at by farmers and others, if found damaging crops, fruit trees and other property, because the laws provide clearly and distinctly that any animal or bird found destroy ing may be killed at sight for so doing." The trouble is with ;he shooting of these animals that boys and, others go out under the pretense of shooting cotton tails and kill every other sort of game that they come across. "For this reason mainly the Com- missioners haye thought it neccessary to protect bares fully " (Signed) N. D. STEWART. Mr. J. Archibald Smith, late of Sas- katoon, has taken from us one of our most amiable and christian young ladies in the parson of Miss Sarah M. Herd, youngest daughter of Mrs Isaac Bawden. The ceremony was perform- ed at the residence of her mother, by the Rev. A. L. Russell. The bride was assisted by Miss Grace Oke, and the the groom was supported by his brother, Bert. A. Smith, of Saskatoon, North West Territory. The bride is much esteemed in the circle where she is known, and Mr. Smith is believed to be a very worthy young man. His brother, who resides in the cold North West. came to witness the nuptial tie, together with the near relatives and friends of the bride, The ceremony over, all sat down to an elegant dinner . and afterwards a pleasant time was spent. There was a beautiful and varied display of presents, being num- erous and costly The young couple took the evening train for their new home in Strathro_v, followed by the best wishes of the community.—Cobs.

Last summer we referred to what looked like a hugh swindle, Farmers were induced into signing orders for a box of specified dimensions to .contain spruce, and for which they wore to pav five cents a piece, which they thought would probably mean $5 A. box. But when the boxes arrived they were found to contain from 600 to 3,000 shrubs, some of which were not larger that► a knitting needle. The stock was sent out by 1''. W. Wil- son, the owner of an extensive nursery near Chatham, and who, up to a very late date, was a prominent member of the Patrons of Industry, and one of their principal lecturers. A case in which this spruce tree business plays an important part came before Judge Bell at Chatham this week. Wilson was owiug a carriage firm $170 for two buggies, and was sued for the amount. The defendant put in a counter claim for three boxes of the shrubs, 7,850 in number, or $392 50. The claim was disputed, and hence the suit, After the examination of a large number of witnesses. which clearly showed that this "tree business" had been carried on for a number of years and on an extensive scale, the counter claim was dismissed, and there is talk now of proceeding against Wilson for fraud.

Why you take Cold and Cough. a, li, ix Generally caused by exposure to cold; wet feet, sitting in a draught, coming from hot and crowded places, in thin dress, or wearing damp clothes, stock. ings, or any other cause tending to check suddenly the perspiration. The result produces inflammation of the lining membrane of the lungs or throat, and this causes phlegm or matter, which nature tries to throw off by expectora.. tion. In many cases she is unable to do so without assistance, and this is Why you use Allen's Lung Balsam. Three Sze Bottles, zit., Soy $1.00 Wanted. Never too late to mend. 5000 pairs of boots and shoes that need repairing to be left at the leading boot and shoe store next door to the Post office. Worthy of cons 5,Ieration. The St. Catharines School Board has unanimously decided that in the flit. ure promotion will not take place by examination, but by the record of the scholar's work during the year. More than u w pupil o one worthy y p p it coin d do good work all the year round, but bring ex tremely sensitive, never managed to hold out during the severe strain of an examination. The St. Catharines sys tem, if it succeeds, will give the pupils who may be made up of a "bundle of nerves" a chance to hold their own. Obituary Mr. Isaac Handford, one of Exeter's well known business men, passed away on Saturday at about 10.30 a.m, after a somewhat prolonged illness resulting from an affectinn of the atornach. De- ceased has suffered much during the past few months but it was not thought that the end would come so soon, until the past week when he be- came worse and was compelled to take his bed, there to remain until death claimed hire. Some months ago -he had a severe surgical operation per. formed and a large abscess remoyed from his person, which leo thought•tvas partially the cause of ill health, but its results afforded only temporary re- lief, and many of his associates and friends have been pained in the last few months to notice his health grow ing feebler and his , vitality growing weaker. Up to a couple of weeks ago he was able to walk out but he ex ertion became too great for his weak- ened constitution,, when ho took to his bed and seemed to have made up his mind to give up the struggle. He was a comparatively young man, being 42 years and 6 months old. He has con ducted a general blacksmith and car riage business here for years and made many friends, being an honest. upright business man in every respect, and through his energy and push had ac cumulated considerable wealth. De. ceased was married twice and leaves a widow and six young children, the eldest being only 15 years of ago. The funeral took place on Tuesday last and was largely attended, there being nearly one hundred rigs in the pro cession, headed by the brethren of the Ancient Order of Foresters, of Exeter and Zurich, the Exeter Fire Company and Exeter Gun Club, alt of which he was a member.
