Dyer Hurdon; vice-pres., os, Senior; Seo.-treas., J. IL Grieve; Capt., M. Vincent ; Com., Frank Wil- lis, Frank Lutz, A. R. Kinsman, Fred Bissett. FALLWFIBAT:-F roam reliable sources conies the information that the fall wheat has coupe through the winter well. The snow protected the plant, and no frost penetrated the earth to prevent the surface water from passing away. Of coarse it is just possible that injury may yet be dune by alternate freezing and thawing, but the chances of n good crop of this important cereal are, in the meantime greatly enhanced. CHANCE IN BUSINESS. -The milling business carried on by Messrs. Rollins & Williams, will in future beeondueted by the Exeter Milling Go., a new part- ner in the person of A. E. Stewart, of. Messrs, Stewart & Abbot,produce mer- chants, having been admitted. Mr. Stewart will ao into thebusiness about 1st of May. `Mr. Rollins will devote most of his time to his farm near Sarnia. Ttus JUDGE PASSES SENTENCE.— Judge Masson on Saturday passed sen- tence upon the three prisoners Heather, Peterson and Phair, who were convict- ed of burglary, Heather was given 23 months in the Central Prison ; Peter- son 3 months in Goderich jail, and Phair dismissed on suspended sentence.

Mr Brooks has been ill for some time, hence the surprise party.—Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Brown pleasantly entertained a number of friends on Friday evening last.—Miss Hattie White has secured a situation as head milliner in Cannington. LIBEL Stars.—While the Liberals are issuing writs on the Conservatives in connection with statements made during the East Huron election, the Conservatives of South. Huron are after tnaligners in this Riding. We hear it mentioned that the defeated candidate, Mr. McLean and some of his sidesmen are to be called upon to prove statements made against Henry Either, the member -elect, during the recent campaign. THE ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS.— TxoN s. high The ht„h school entrance and public school leaving examinations for 1898 will begin Tuesday. June 28, at 8:45 a. m. The course of study prescribed for the examination is that given in the revised regulations, except that physi- ology and temperance takes the place of botany at the public school leaving examinations. Any misunderstanding on the part of candidates regarding the requirements is to be dealt with by the local board in settling results. The revised regulations do not, Os for- merly, call for the presentation of book work in writing, drawing, etc., at either the high school entrance or public school leaving examinations. For the latter examination, book work, if presented by candidates, is to be taken into account, as last year, in view of the special provisions an- nounced for 1808. FRUIT TREE ST'RAY'ING.—The com- mittee appointed to select an orchard for spraying will likely name R. S. Lang's, in the village. There will be six experimental demonstrations. Dile notice will be given of such spraying, and every one having even a few fruit trees will find it profitable to attend and take notes of the experiments, The agent who will conduct the ex- periments will have for :distribution copies of a 'handy bulletin giving full nformati on as to the various insectf- ides and how to treat them. It is es- hnated by U. S. officials that from one-third to one-half of the fruit crop of that country is lost each year by diseases and pests, aggregating about 8,000,000 barrels of fruit. There are no actual figures to guage the loss ' H Canada, but we undoubtedly suffer i proportion. There are 320,000 acres o rchard in Ontario, and 91 million pple trees,over 6 million of which are gearing. The value of the product of single teees on which spraying was. conducted last year in these experi- ments was found to be increased from $1 to .8. Putting n the increase eat,se •� <t 2 g a $ tree only,this would mean an addition to the wealth of the Province front 1a to 2 million dollars. Tem R. T. oP T's.—On Sunday even-` g last Advance Couneil No.207, Roy a' Tempiars of Temperance, coxnmen,- orated the twelfth anniversary of their organization by attending the Main Street Methodist Church. The mein- bers of the local council, together with visitors from neighboring councils, oc- cupied the centre row of seats in the church, and Pastor Smith preached a very appropriate, eloquent and con- yincing sermon on the evils of intem- perance, and encouraged the temper- ance workers to continue unceasingly in their warfare against the giant evil. On Monday evening an excellent con- cert was held. in Gidley's Opera House. The chair was occupied by P Mr. J. Is, Clarke, who tv o complime;ited Mr. Smith raon the excellent sermon he preached the previous evening, stated that the local council was organized on the 13th of March, 1886, with. J. E.

LEVITT'S FAIR. Braddie Cornell, .of Parkhill, was in town last Sunday. A shower of rain on Sunday broke in upon the spring weather we had en- joyed during the past few weeks. Thos. Cann, of Usborne,who had his hand mangled in a straw cutter some time ago, is recovered so as to be able to work again. It was announced a couple of weeks ago that Rev. G. A. Cohbledick had been invited to Welland Avenue church,St. Catharines, and had accept- ed the invitation ; finding he could not Lo afterwards get a transfer, he hadw o withdraw his resignation. Commercial travellers, or "drum- mers' as a rule are well posted in pol- • itics and all other publicquestions, but are especially well up in all technical business terms One of the Knights of the Grip turned up in Exeter the other day who is a>n.exceptionto the general rule. He had never heard of the term "trade discount" before, and after sell- ing albill of goods to one of our mer- chants, giving hire a trade discount, he thought the matter over after go- ing to Ins hotel; and, deciding that he would, according� bargain to the bar ain he had made, have to take goods from the merchant to the amount of the order he had taken, rushed back to the store, and, panting for breath, in- formed the merchant that he could not afford to come from Toronto every time he wanted a pound of tea or fifty cents worth of sugar, and wanted to make a new bargain, A broad smile broke over his countenance when he was ,given the correct definition of `,trade discount" and he went away happy.
