Pickard & Son's new store building' was let last week Dyer & Howard of the Exeter Planing Mills will do the carpenter and joiner work, John Evans the mason work and D Spicer the painting. The contractors are all good reliable men who. under- stand their business The building will be 125 feet long, 25 feet wide' and two stories high, which when complet- ed will be one of the model buildings in town. Joseph Green, one of the Brucefield burglars, who was sentenced to twen- ty three months' imprisonment in the Central prison, Toronto, for complicity in the crime, was taken there from Goderich jail on Wednesday morning of last week. Green claims that this is his first incarceration in the Central. but itis claimed by the authorities that he is an old bird. "Our crop of lawyers is rapidly in- creaing rIhe latest to locate here is Mr. Gundv, who has been practicing at Leamington. He is a son of the Rev. J. R.

While Mr. John Hawkshaw was the a•uest of Mr. White, of Rogerville, last Sunday night' he met with an accident which resulted ii: a broken leg. Mr. H. was passing from the head of the stair- way into an adjoining room, and not noticing that he bad to take one step down, missed his footing, his whole weight falling on his leg, breaking it in two places between the knee and ankle, The injury is a severe one and it will be some time before Mr. Hawk- shaw will be able to get around Again, A very serious accident beret Master Harry Browning last Tuesday morn- ing about 1 o'clock which as far as is known at present (Wednesday p.m.) may prove fatally-. The little fellow must have got out of bed while in sleep, (his room being at the back on the third flat) and walking to the front window, fell out . on the sidewalk, a distance of 29 or 30 feet. He struck on his shoulder and back of his Head the extent of his injuries arenot fully known. His scream as he struck the walk was heard by Constable Creech who was at the Town Hall, also Drs. Rollins and Amos. Mr. John P. Clarke heard the noise when he struck the walk. All that medical skill can do is being done for the sufferer. A very interesting breach of promise suit is likely to be tried at Goderich shortly. Mr. Doig, a school teacher at No. 9 section of McKillop township, and Mss Wilsey, daughter of one of the trustees of the school, are the parties concerned. The whole country -side is torn up over the affair. The wedding was to have taken place in the sum- mer, and the wedding cake and the bride's trosseau had even been made. The expectant bride' was very much affected over the alleged perfidity of her lover, and now sue asks fur $5,000 as the balm that will soothe her wound- ed: heart. Both the young people are well and favorably known. Miss Wil- sey is the daughter of a well to-do farmer, while Mr.- Doig also owns a farm. It is said that the defendant will admit the promise of marriage, but will give reasons for his refusal to carry out his contract that may prove sensational, Mr. Gairow will prose- cute, and Mr,' M. C..,,Cameron will de- fend. While the people of Exeter do not, as a'rule, turn out to our Fall Fair as they should, they are all ready to ad- mit that the management have a big contract to handle and that they al- ways do it well. The success of our fair's exhibits is not by any means al- together due to our citizens, for if it were not for the the liberal support which it receives from the farming community, our annual fall fair would soon be an institution of the nest. In view of the fact we would like to sug• gest that every business man in town make an exhibit of some kind this year: Every merchant, hardware deal- er, milliner, carpenter, confectioner, baker, boot and shoe dealer, harness maker, furniture dealer, jeweler and watchmaker, niachine men, in fact space should be secured in which to represent every business in 'town. If the articles you wish to show collect- ively, are not mentioned on the bill, the secretary will cheerfully make an extra entry for you. Do nbt count on the amount of prize money or the small amount of expense of getting your exhibits to the ground, hitt count on the amount of interest and energy you play contribute towards making the fair this year a grand success. We ask our citizens, eepacially the busi- ness portion. to consider the above suggestion and put forth a rousing~'ef- fort in this direction New `Ade' J.

Forest Standard.—"On the evening of Wednesday, Sept, 20th,' the Rev. Wm Mel?onagh, of Exeter, .1 will deliver a lecture in the Methodist chureh,Uttoxe- ter, on 'The Relation' of Romanism to Civil and•Religious Liberty. A silver collection will be taken up." Aow'about the electric light ques- tion? The dark appearance of the town Monday night last made us think of it, not even the streets lamps varied the monotony, The majority of our Citi• zees are in favor, of the town being lighted byeleetriety and the only way to secure the advantage is to keep con tinually at it. The ADFoOATE has mentioned the matter fully a dozen times and will probably do so a dozen :more, or at least till the question is a settled one. If towns half the size of Exeter can support the system, why not Exeter? Several persons were heard to ask if the Exeter bind had been reorganized? No! There are some ten, or twelve boys and meii who meet together at, times and practice some new music which several paid for out of their own pock• ets, but they do not constitute "The Exeter Band." Exeter has no band, but if the citizens would allow our council board to appropriate, say ''$100; a year, to pay running expenses, such as new music, wood, coal oil, etc., a band of at least fifteen players would soon be organized. The band which is to play at our fair will be made up of players from Sarnia, Blyth and Ex- eter.. Lookout for music that is. music. Last week was set apart by the Post Muster General as enumeration week for the Exeter post -office and offices throughout the province of Ontario. During the week commeuciug Sunday Sept 10th, and sending Saturday., Sept. 16th is as follows: -991 letters for Ca- nedian offices and 129 foreign, amount- ing in mount-ing'in all to $32.73. Post cards for Canada, "380, foreign 20. Trancient newspapers etc. --lc for 4 oz -163 pieces $1.96. Packages of Printers' copy, Photographs deeds, Insurance policies, etc, 27, amounting to 64c. Parcels by parcel post for Canada 12, amounting to 63 cts. Parcels of merchandise 3, amounting to 36c. Free Letters 10; Registered $2.16. Total for week $42.50, being 40 cts. less for the same period last year. }..�Mount Forest has adopted a curfew egulation.

The public schools are closed to -day and to -morrow in order to allow the teachers to attend the conyeetion of the teachers' association. There are altogether too many holidays in' our schools and much valuable time is lost thereby. Why could not the teachers' convention be held during the slimmer vacation? This should be insisted up- on by school trustee boards of deduct - tons made from teachers' salaries for every holiday outside the statuary va- cations. Such a state of affairs as ex- ists at present in our school Manage- ment would not be tolerated in any other calling, The teachers are al lowed to dictate to the trustees; the se- quel being that school days are at a rhinimutn and too much is attetlipted in too short a time, The "poor 'over= worked teacher" is among the telics of the past.—St. Marys .I"kurnai. ohuslon's CHEAP STORE!
