After a few happy remarks by the chairman, the entertainment opened with singing of one verse of "Ali Hail the Power of Jesus Name" followed by prayer by the Rev. G. H. Thompson. The first number on the program was a, selection by the Crediton Orchestra which was well received. E. Simpson then gave an Irish recitation, whieh was follow- ed by a. quartette entitled the "The Mortgaged Farm" by Messrs. Zwicker ) and oitzman and Mrs. (Dr.)Rivers 1 and Miss Ball, which is worthy of special mention as it was mostsplendid- ly rendered, and shows that Crediton . f produces talent which is second to none ire this part of the country.

Au excellent solo was then given by Mrs. (Dr.) Rivers, who is a very accomplished singer being a fraduate of the Conservatory ofMusic, ollowed by a recitation entitled "The uld man goes to town" by Dr. Rivers. which pros -es him to be it first-class elocutionist.

Another selection was then given by the orchestra and was so well received that they were obliged to give an en- core in order to pacify the crowd, which was followed by a German recitation by E. Simpson, which w as well rendered and caused a good deal of merriment to the Iarge crowd. The church being packed to the doors, we noticed friends from Thedford, Park- hill, London, Lucan, and Exeter.

The benefit derived from an adver tisenient 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 be considered very carefully by business men. A thousand small bills printed in Tor- onto or London, and distributed in his section, wouldjustasi t o be effective as if the bill had been rinted 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 amount of local news. Circulation is the proper basis upon whichpricesshould. be fixed. If a newspaper with a circulation of 2,000 charges $100 per year, then one withacirculation of600 would be entitl- ed to $30. An advertiser should take these facts into careful consideration, when snaking contracts. Another fre- quent loss to advertisers is in the use of several papers when one covers the ground. TEE TIMES is read by more people in Exeter, Usborne, Stephen, Hay, the northern part of Biddulph and McGillivray than all other county papers combined, and an advertise- ment placed in it n ill be found the most effectual way in which to reach the people. • FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS.
