The annual fowl supper and concert will be given by the Woman's Chapter of the Trivitt Memorial church, Exeter, on Monday, Dec. 20th, 1897. A splendid supper and a good program may be counted on. The resident ministers will give short ad- dresses. The citizens, particularly the con- gregation of Main street church are indebted to Mrs. Gibbins, of Clinton, for the services rendered in connect- ion with the anniversary of the above church. Her singing was much ap- preciated, and merited the applause given. The habit of boys throwing snow- ails in the streets, is becoming erious, and should be stopped. On Tuesday, a snow ball thrown by a boy, struck a horse, causing the ani- mal to run away. One of the oc- cupants of the rig was thrown out, and sustained a fracture of her collar. bone. Theractice among some farmers` of loading up hay and then leaying it out in the rain for aday and a night before taking it to market, thereby increasing the weight by as much as that of a barrel of water -simply to add a trifle to their pocket, is as mean a thing as can be done, and deserves punishment were it possible.

Pickard Co. at the instance of Jobe T. W estcott were served with a writ for $100 and costs, for not having registered the partner- ship, according to the requirements of thestatutes in that behalf. The pro- ceedings somewhat, surprised the firm, and although the law in this respect was not adhered.to (through a mis- understanding,)et no one seffered any finaucia] injury from the neglect. The ease was submitted to the Attorney General and Executive Council of Ontario, who after taking the facts of the case into consideration, and know- ing the reputation of the firm, advised thr Lieutenant Governor to order "that the penalties incurred by the R. Pickard Co., under the acts respect- ing the registration of copartnerships and business firms, be remitted, save the costs of the proceedings."

CHUR C ANNIVERSARY. -' One of the most successful anniver- saries in the history of Main st. Metho- dist church was that of this year, held on Sunday and Monday last. The weather was propitious, the at- tendance large at all meetings, and the bill of fare superb. On Sunday, Rev. Jasper Wilson, of Strathroy, a former pastor of the church occupied the pulpit and delivered two able, thoughtful, and practical sermons, while the choir, assisted by Mrs. Gib- bings, of Clinton, rendered sweet music. On Monday eyening the an- nual tea was served, and as usual the ladies excelled themselves in • catering to the wants of so large a crowd. The viands, which were of the best quality were liberally served, and the most rapacious appetite could not help be- ing satisfied. A platform meeting was organized at the close of the. tea, with Rey. Chas. Smith a s chairman. Revs, Bray, Martin and Dr. Willough- by gave short adddresses, while Rev. Jasper. Wilson lectured on "I and Thou.". The lecture was of an inter- esting nature, and many valuable` lessons were thrown out by the speaker. • .It was thoroughly in .keep- ing with. all Mr.. Wilson's efforts along the lines • of a lecture, being -practical and instructive. The choir did Well, and assisted materially in the pro- gram. The duett by Miss Gidley and Mr. Broderick, the solos by Mrs. Gib- bings, of . Clinton, and• Miss M. V. White, of Exeter, were of a high order, and elecited much :applause. On the whole the affair was a great sue- cess, the proceeds amounting in all 'to Bargains • We want'to make a big reduction in our stock during this month and accordingly will offer many lines of Goods at exceedingly low prices.
