The attendance was much larger than on former years. After a short service of prayer and song, Rev. Mr. Hodgson of Seaforth, deivered an excellent ad dress on mission work, confining him self to the needs of the Diocese of Hu- ron. was He x followed by the. Re P. Rey. E. Fatt, ofxerg k.,xt, c i, who took a wider field, going into Africa, India and oth- er partly uneilvilized countries. The addresses were listened to with close attention throughout. and at the finish a vote of thanks wastendered the speakers A good collection was' taken A Clever scheme. A clever scheme worked by three swindlers has just come to light. The World's Fair Pictorial Souvenir Com- pany have sent out several hundred letters to Canadian merchants, who were selected from Bradstreet's Com m(reial Agency's Book. The letter stated that, having found the rating of the merchant all richt, the World's Fair Pictorial Souvenir Company had shipped a full line of rapidly selling World's Fair souvenirs on consignment The merchant was instructed to dis- play the goods, and after they were old to remit for them, less the commis Sion. If the goods did not prove good sellers, the merc h ant could ship them back at the expense of the consignors. After receiving these letters, a postal. followed, either from Windsor or Sar Ma, printed in the usual form of notifi• cation used by the custom inspectors, notifying the merchant that a valu- able consignment from the World's Fair'Pictorial Souvenir Company was detained for customs duties acid fees, which amounted to $5, and would be forwarded on reeeipt of that amount Many letters found their way to Wind sor and Sarnia, containing the neces sary $5, and that was the last the men. chant ever heard of his money.The customs officials at Windsor discovered the seheme and the swindlers decamped Tt appears that the man at the Chieago end wotild send out 500 or 600 letters to all parts of Ontario and the.Province of Quebec, from a, list obtained in the contimereial directory, Ile would for- ward this list to his confederates at Windsor and sarnia, and they would. send otl.t their postal a day later.

Its the price of raw material that is killing the Easter bonnet industry in this country. A ton of straw costs about $S, and yet when a milliner takes two straws, ties them together with a piece of ribbon; conceals P teas the. knot with a piece of lace, and calls the product an Easter bonnet, it is seldom that she can get more than $50 for it.

J McTavish at 65: cents •on the dollar, consistingg of dry goods,clothing, milli nFry, hail .0 cap,, groceries and creek• ery, we purpose giving the people of Exeter and surrounding- country the benefit of our great bargain.

If farmers were as.wide awake as they might be, they wouldn't allow another bushel of ashesto leave the country. They are one of the best things that can 1)e used for orchards, and if it pays American'fa:rniers to buy them for fest ilizing purposes at 20 cents a ,bushel, surely it would pry Canadians to use them, when they can be secured so much cheaper. Creatneiw. A meeting will be in the Town Hall, to day (Thursday) to discuss the advisability rf establishing a creamery in town: • An ' establishment of this kind' is something we have long been in the want of and our citizens should. do all iq their power to have such an institution in our midst.
