Three of them had been taken from a

'They were all small, deformed and
seriously affected with those black
spots that are the ruin of so ranch
fruit. On the other hand the
three
taken from the sprayed trees were
fully twice as large and were healthy
and well shaped and free from all
fund i
fungi, with :every 'appearance of de-
veloping into perfect fruit. The sam-
ples were all of the Northern Spy
variety, and were ,sprayed, six times.

Loot„ TO Yana ORCHARD, -A Toron-
to despatch, of Monday last said : In-
spector Orr, of Fruitlauds, Ont., who
has been investigating the fruit or-
chards of the province with a view to
ascertaining the ravages of the San -
Jose scale, reported to the Minister of
Agriculture this morning that the
state of affairs is much more serious
than was at first believed. The pest
has obtained so strong a foothold in
the province that ordinary measures
for stamping it out will be unavailing.
Mr. Orr reports that the parasite is to
be found in orchards all along the fruit
belt of southern Ontario, between
Chatham and Niagara. It attacks all
varieties of frdit trees and forest trees
rs well. The state of affairs is growing
the more serious since in addition to Muslins.
attacking the bark and;gradeally kill-
ing the tree, the sale also attacks the
fruit. Mr. Orr had specimens of green
pimps which the found to be covered
with the invisible lice that are brought
forth by the scale. It is a curious fact
that whether attacking the bark or the Prints,
fruit itself the scale produces a pur-
plish flush at the spots where the vis-
ible scales are deposited. The appear-
ance on fruit so attacked is that of an
angry scrofulous sore. It is feared
that infected fruit will be offered for
sale this summer.

ion with a garden party, -- To -day

to the ;recent match in Exeter with

due

Exeter has the making of a very strong
team and with more practice will be

The boys from here were very much

DAsnwoo1) Mm. -When we learn
of rural sections, already well supplied,
being granted further mail facilites,
and two important villages like Exeter
and Dashwood being deprived of a
most valuable mail route, viz: the daily.
service from Exeter to Dashwood sug-
gests the thought that, these two;pl aces -
being Conservative strongholds, the
Liberal Government have no desire
to gratify the wishes of the
hundreds of persons who petition-
ed to have the service continued. A
Mail via Exeter to Dashwood, is im-
portant the business interestsf
o ortaaht to
Dashwood, and a convenience to the
citizens of Exeter and the people along
the route. While the old route is thus
abandoned, new contracts have been
made to supply Hay P. 0. from the
Exeter depot, and Sare to from Dash-
d
c, S
ib
o at an expense ,1 lrtl less than
wood,
the cost of the cancelled. service, which
formerly supplied these two interven-
ing offices. The saving in expense to
the post office department by the
change is not, worth considering in
comparison to the inconvenience and
delay in receiving mail matter, sus-
tained by Exeter and Dashwood; and if
the postal service of Canada is calculat
eel to promote business by rapid trans-
mission of mail matter, then justice
demands that the old service be again
established at an early date. So im-
portant is it to the people of Dashwood,
they would rather lose the Parkhill
service, as London being their princi-
pal trading point, •the route via Exeter
is quicker by a day. This matter
should be pressed and tbeGovernment
urged to go back to the old order.
EXETER ELECTRIC LICauIT 00.-•A
Joint Stock Cetepany with a capital
of $10,000 has been organized in Exeter
to operate a system of electric light-
ing. The company will be incorporat-
ed. under the name and style of the
"Exeter Electric Light and Power Co.,
(limited.) They will purchase an en-
tirely new plant of the latest type,
and will operate one of the mostper-
fect systems extaut. A provisional
board has been elected as follows :
Pres., Dr. C. Lutz ; Manager, R. C. C.
Trexnaine, B. A. Sc.; Directors, E. J.
Spackman, B. S. O'Neil, and Frank
Wood. Amongst the stock holders.
are :-D. Johns, W. Bawden, R. 5.
Lang, H. Bishop, R. H. Collins
and others The company have
obtained -a franchise from the
town to erect poles, and a contract to
a
light the back streets. Altogether
the company will start with about
000 incandescent lights. An idea can
be formed of the popularity of the
scheme from the fact that the stock
list was closed at the second meeting
of the Board. We understand that the
company intend sparing no effort to
give a satisfactory service to the whole
village, especially in the matter of the
illuhnivation of the back streets -a
long felt want. They also intend giv-
ing a late service till one or two o'clock
a. m., and during the winter
months an early service from
5 till 8 o'clock a. in, This latter arran-
gementwill be an especialincoyenieiice
to the village at large. Piarties who
intend installing the service should do
so at the earliest inconvenience, as the
company will have a large number of.
lights in .land, and wish to have
them upb y the time e
wired.m the. plant
It
is in operatioby

be obtained from the Manager, R. G.

DIRECT IIPOTERSI
Clvxc HOLIDAX.-To-day (Th ursday)
is Exeter's civic holiday, although it
is expected that most business places
will be open, on account of insufficient
notice having been given of the pro-
clamation. A civi:; holiday should be
well advertised •a announced , ncl su 'ffic .-
ently far in advance to post the farm-
ing community, that they might gov-
ern themselves accordingly. This
year we doubt if any farmers know of
the holiday, and yesterday having
been wet, they will likely swarm into
town to dap for business. It is a mis-
take,and in the interests of business,in
future good and sufficient announce-
ment should be made. The procla-
mation itself is so small that one has
to hunt for it, instead of its command-
ing attention.
Percy Westaway is visiting friends
in Hensall.
Ed, Brown, of London, spent Sun-
day with friends in town.

To Advertisers.
1 The benefit derived from an adver-
tisement depends altogether upon the
number of persons who read it. To
reach the greatest number of readers
' at the least possible expense, is a.
question that should bt' considered
very carefully by business ashen. A
thousand small bilis printed in Tor-
' onto or London, and distributed in
this section, would be just as effective
as if the hill had been print, d in town.
!There is not a doubt about that, but if
you want to reach the people in their
homes, newspaper advertising is the
only successful way. To get the best
results use the paper with the largest
' circulation, and. thegreatest aamountof
local news. Circulation is the proper:
basis upon whichprieesshouid be fixed.
If a newspaper with a circulation of
2,000 charges $10() per year, then one
with&circulation of600 would be entitl-
ed to $80. An advertiser should take
these filets into careful consideration,
when making contracts. .Another fre-
quent loss to advertisers is in the use
of several papers when one covers the
ground. THE TIME is read by more
people. in Exeter, trsborne, Stephen,
Hay, the northern part, of Biddulph
and McGillivray than all other
county
papers combined, and an advertise-
ment placed in it uh ill be runnel the
most effectnal way in which to reach
the people.
To be free from sick headache, bil-
iousness, constipatinlf, etc., use Car-
ter's Little Liver Pills. Strictly veg-
etable. They gen.(ly stimulate the
liver and free the stomach from bile.
