The labor necessary to "set"bp" the ordinary advertisement 'of the present age is very great, and when several advertisements are sent to the office on Wednesday noon,itnecessari- ]y follows that the issue of the paper is .delayed from five to eight hours, besides it compels the workmen to toil all night; when, on the other hand, if the copy is sent in in due tune, the paper appears promptly on Thursday morning. Procrastination is the thief of time,and in thiscare also the thief of the allotted sleep of the printers. It is our aim to oblige, but there is a limit beyond which 'it is -impossible to con- form, and if at any time an advertise- ment appears unchanged, the adver- tiser can blame himself, because he will know that the copy was handed in too late. We would kindly ask those interested to cut this out and paste in a conspicuous place in their office. Monday a carrot of. the White Bel- gium variety, which : measured 27 inches.

Wheat is now down to the sixty cent nark and the prospect is not very bright for a marked advance in price, though much lower it can hard- ly be expected to go. Still the big dealers state that the prices which have been prevailing have been too high to enable them to compete with the United States. The apple crop in Kent county is proving a great, disappointment both to buyers and sellers and instead of 100,000 barrels for export, there will scarcely be half that number. The shortage is 'dile to the apples rotting because of continued rains and hot weather which have to a' large extent destroyed the keeping qualities of even the winter fruit. A. Q,Bobier,of the Exeter Creameryy has entered into a contract to deliver at Dawson City 30,000 pounds of but- ter, for which he is to receive $10,100.

Mints To Clothing Buyers. • Why is it that so many careful Dressers wend their way to this store for Ready-to-wear Clothing ? Why is it that 1 they come and continue to come in increasing numbers, not only after Clothing but after Clothing needs of every description ?

To help you in making an intelligent comparison or investigation we throw out some of these hints :—Where else in town will you find Clothing to equal the lines we carry for the money, style, fit, workmanship, considered ?

A FORNER EXETERITE.—The Ont- tario (Cal.) Record, referring to the death of Edred Drew, a former well- known resident of Exeter, and father Mrs.F. J,Knight, of this town,says, Mr. Drew was born at Mortchard Bish- op, Devonshire, England, January110, 1337. When a mere boy his parents em- igrated to Canada and while crossing the Atlantic the ship was attacked by that dread disease -cholera. Both par- ents diedof this disease,immediately on reaching .Loudon, Canada, leaving a family of young children to fight their way in a new country, which was then in its primitive state. After the death of his parents, Mr. Drew's life was one of pecuiiar interest. When quite a child he showed marked skill in all kinds of mechanism. and at the age of seven- teen he opened up an undertaking and furniture Inanufact'uring business for himself in the town of Exeter. The business increased rapidly, and furniture of Mr. Drew's make was known far and wide over the province of Ontario. Although a man deeply engrossed in his business, Mr. Drew was much interested in the prosperity of the town in which he lived, and in 1874 he was elected by acclamation as the first councilman of the town of Exeter, which positiori he ably filled for ten years, when his health failing he removed to California with his family, and settled in Ontario whare he carried on furniture and undertak- ing business quite extensively. But his health did not improve as he had hop- ed, and last year he went to Santa Barbara, hoping that climate would benefit him ; but his malady was past relief, and be passed away with his family around hire, on Sunday, Sep- tember 26,at his residence on Figueroa street. He was a great sufferer, but was patient through it all,and he pass- ed, away to his last .reward With a simple trustin the Saviour of all. He 'leaves a wife, two daughters and a son to mourn his loss, who have the sympathy of the community. The following H students are attending the Normal college, Hamil- ton:—Misses L.
