Dr, Ovens, of London, Surgeon,Ocu- list and specialist of diseases eye, ear, nose and throat, will be at the Com- mercial Hotel, Exeter, on Wednesday, January 0th. 1901. Spectacles and eye -glasses properly fitted, Rev. E, Searle, returned missionary from China, will occupy the pulpit of Main street Methodist church on Sun- day evening. He will give some ac- connt of mission life in that populous country. The pastor, Rev. W. God- win, will take the usual morning ser- vice. Miss Anna Beckett, the noted American soloist has been engaged for the concert to be held in connec- tion with the James street Anniver- sary services on Monday evening Dec. 14th. She will be assisted by the best local musical talent, Miss Beck- ett ranks among the stars in her pro- tession. A large crowd is expected at this concert.

The people of the James street Methodist church have been fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. Geo, J. Bishop, pastor of the first Methodist church, London, who will preach their Anniversary sermons on Sunday December 13th, in the morn- ing at 10.30, in the evening at 7 o'clock. On the following Monday evening Dec. 14th, a grand concert will be held in the church. Miss Anna Beckett will sing a. number of selec- tions and will be assisted by the best local musical talent. There will uo doubt be a large crowd at the concert. If you are superstituous abont the number 13, you ought not to carry in your pocket or use in any way an American quarter dollar. Do you happen to have one about you now ? If so, take it out and see how it teems with 13's. For instance : it has 13 stars, 13 letters in the scroll in the eagle's beak, 13 feathers in the eagle's tail, 13 parallel bats in the shield, 13 horizontal strips,13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 arrow heads, and 13 letters in the words "quarter dollar," The Teems, however is proof against superstitions, so that if your subscrip- tion is in arrears and you have foie of these unlucky "bits" of which you de- sire to relieve yourself, we will gladly accept them for a years subscrrbtion.

DIED IN LONDON.—The death took place at noon on Friday, of Mr. Rich- ard Evans, at the residence of his sou, Mr. Malcolm Evans, 191 Bruce street. Dec ea sed had reached the age of 73 years. About three weeks ago he was taken ill with inflammatory rheuma- tism, and on Thursday his condition became quite serious. The late Mr. Evans was a cooper by trade, and came to this country from England when he was seven years of age, De- ceased's wife died two years ago. He was a former resident of Elimville. Three sons -John, of Exeter ; Richard of St.Thoruas ; Malcolm, of London ; and two daughters, Mrs. D. Palmer, also of London, survive. Deceased was a rnember of Union Lodge No. 380 A.,, F. & A. 0., and also of L. 0. L., No, 298. His remains were interred in the Eliurville cemetery on Sunday last. FARMERS' INSTITDTES.—A meeting of the directors of the South Huron Farmers'Institute was held at Hensall on Wed. of last week. The principal business of the meeting was to ar- range for the winter Institute meet- ings. The meetings will be held at Exeter and Brucefield on Friday and Saturday, January 15th and 10th, re- spectively. There will be an after- noon and evening meeting at each place, In addition to the regular speakers sent out by the department Messrs. Robert McMordie and R B. McLeau, Xippen, will take subjects at the Exeter meetings, and Mr. Robert Gardiner, of Farquhar,and S. M. San- ders, of Exeter•, at the Brucefield Meetings. An effort is also to be wade to get a lady speaker for all the meetings. Supplementary meetings will be held in February at Farquhar, Crediton, Grand Bend, Hensall, Varna and Seaforth. The speakers and sub- jects for these meetings were also selected. but it is to early to announce them yet. The Institute is in a very satisfactory condition, but consider• Mg the benefits available, there should be a much larger membership. The membership fee is 25 cents, and any one of the many reports sent to all members is aloue worth double this amount to any farmer who takes an interest iu his calling. The great wonder is that the membership of these institutes is not at least ten times larger than it is.
