Bought for Spot Cash, thereby taking advantage of all the dis- counts, therefore we are prepared to give you some rare bargains. Don't fail to see them be- fore buying elsewhere. Regarding our Grocery Department it's needless to say much about it, as it's an established fact, and a household word, "Go to Davis' you are sure to get it," a reputa- tion we have justly earned by keeping everything usually kept in a first-class city grocery, and at right prices. Thanking our many patrons for their very liberal support in the past three and a half years; we hope, by square, upright deal- ing to still continue to merit a fair share. Special inducements to cash buyers. 1211-2 SPECIAL MEETINGS. -Rev. Messrs. Cook and Casson are still holding special services, and are meeting with increas- ing success.

Mitchell, of Tuckersmith township, has drawn brick preparatory to building a residence. .11e expects to retire from the farm next fall. He will be a welcome addition to our burg, being a highly respectable man and a class leader, of many years standing, in the Methodist church. Mr. Jacob Taylor is also a prominent Methodist, and was secretary of the building committee of the new Metho- dist church, Blyth. LOCAL BRIEFS.—Miss Ferguson, oi Clinton, and formerly of the township of Hay, spent part of last week and this visiting friends in Exeter and this vil- lage. -Mr. 6rant, of Thornyhurst, was at the manse during the past week visit- ing his sister, Mrs. J.

MATRIMONIAL. -0a Wednesday last week a very plea -sing and interesting event took place at the residence of Samuel Landebnrough, Esq., of the township of Tuckeremith. We refer to the marriage of his daughter, Miss Eliza M., to Mr. George Ingram, of Walsh County, Dakota, and formerly of the township of Hay, who is son of Mr. Alexander Ingram. The marriage cere- mony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Simpson, of Bracefield, the bride's pas- tor, and was witnessed by a large num- ber of the relatives and friends of the contracting parties, and all of whom it was remarked as a rather unusual occur rence, were, without a single exception, good staunch Reformers, After the ceremony was performe& the- happy couple were very warmly congratulated and the high esteem in. which they are held was manifested by the loge num- ber of useful and valuable gifts presen- ted. We believe Mr. Ingram intends shortly !returning to .Dakota, where he has taken up land, and we unite with the very many friends of the young and happy couple in wishing them all hap- piness and prosperity in their new home. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.— The anni- versary services held in Carmel Presby- terian church on Sabbath last and fol- lowing evening were very largely at- tended' and were successful in the full- est sense of the word. The Rev. Mr. Ross, B.A., of Brussels, preached both morning and evening, delivering ex- ceedingly able and interesting dis- courses on both occasions. The large and spacious church, together with the gallery, were well filled. On the Mon. day evening following, when the tea - meeting was held, the church was fairly packed, and everything _passed off most pleasantly and successfully. The tea was A No. 1 in all respects end reflected the highest credit on the ladies as excel- lent cooks and liberal providers, while the programme for the evening was all that could have been desired, and Was very much enjoyed, as could not other- wise have been the case. The reverend gentlemen who were present and -spoke were as follows : Rev. Mr. Acheson, of Kippen; Rev. Mr. Casson, of Seaforth; Rev. Mr. Grant, of SaMarys, and Rev. Mr.Irvine, of Hensel', and the addresses were all excellent. Dr. Campbell, of Seaforth, and Mr. Burns, of Toronto, were also present and gave readings and recitations, which were much enjoyed. Mies Hotham, of Stadia, sang a couple of solos, which were well rendered ; Pro- fessor Hawkins, of Staffa, also gave a very fine instrumental in his own inim- itable manner, while the church choir, under the leadership of Mr. C. McAl- lister, added much to the pleasure of the evening, as did also Mr: Jameson and family, of Brucefield. Each gave some fine selections which were much enjoyed. The total proceeds of the Sabbath collections and tea -meeting amounted_to the handsome sum of $270, which was certainly most gratifying to the cougregation and committee in charge. raece given to Erwin.

The intruders had evi- dently Ieen in search of money- and shoes, a those were the only articles which 1iac1 been meddled with. For- tunately the contents of the cash drawer had beea taken to the house that even- ing, so that they only obtained a few dollars feorn the Post Office till. DEirrit.-On Sabbath evening, 15th inst., Miss Sarah Sanders peacefully departed this life. For some months she had been coafined to her room, and no doubt death to her was a sweetre lease. Mr. Sanders and his daughter have the sympathy of the community in this sad bereavement. It is, however, comforting to know that while they - mourn the,loss of their loved one they sorrow not as those who have no hope, as Sarah left them the assurance that their loss was her eternal gain. TEMP LARS' CON CERI'. -The concert, by the Royal Templare of Temperance, in the Presbyterian church, on the 81h inst., was a success. ' The singing, reci- tations and speeches were of a high order. Rev. Mr. Simpson, of Brucefield, had two weddings that evening and could not come. Editor Holmes, of Clinton, could not leave the watch tower, where he guards the Liberal party frotn Sir John A's devicee. How- ever, Rev. S. Acheson gave a rousing speech, and the programme was suffi- ciently long without any more addresses. The Tempters are doing good work in rescuing the young, and aid the churches greatly in moral work. The people of Africa would be surprised if they knew that we supported two churches and a Temperance Council to make happy and safe homes, and one bar room to undo all the good dobe, CONCERT. -The sacred concert, under the auspices of the Kippen Council of Royal Templars of Temperance, on the evening of February 18th, was well at- tended. Although several of the speak- ers expected were unavoidably absent, an excellent programme was rendered. The ,opening hymn, "All hail the power of Jesus' name," after which Rev. H. Irvine led in prayer. The Jameson Quartette Club, of Brucefield, rendered several 'selections of sacred music in their usual pleasing style. The 'duetts by Messrs. Stoneman and Brown were well received. The solos by Miss *Porterfield, of Belgrave were heartily encored. Miss Portereeld has a fine, clear voice, and will doubtless ere long rank as one of the leading soprano sing- ers of Ontario. It is needless to com- ment on the ainging of Mr. Oakes, of Clinton, who sustained his reputatien as one of the leading voca hag of the day. The speakers were I cis. H. Ir- vine, of Hensel', and S. 4echeaon, Kip - pen. The addreas by the latter, 011- " Why we should sign the pledge," was brimful of reasons which could not be refuted. Probably the most entertain- ing part of the programme were the reci- tations given by the three little girls from Hensel', Miss Florrie Hughes and the Misses McLean, who all bid tair to make. their mark as elocutionints. The recitations by Miss M. McMordie were also well received. Mie T. H. Riley, S. C. discharged the duties of chairman very efficiently. The receipts for the evening amounted to 527.40. .After the closing exercises the friends who pro- vided the programme, and members of the council were invited to the home of Mrs. James Moore, where refresh- ments, provided by the ladies, were served.

A good hearing but not maDIRcAonryE) ejrteF. EN Ds. S of Teeswater, has organized an orches- tra class to fill the place held by Mr. and Mrs. Bainton. We must say that Mr. and Mrs. Bainton are greatly miss- ed since they sold their property and went -to Seaforth. The people of Del- more feel that local talent is worth having. Prior to their departure Mr. and Mrs. Bainton were presented with a purse and a very com- plimentary worded address from the member e of Loyal Orange Lodge, No, 852, also from the Foresters, expressing the esteem in which they are held, thanking them for their kindness and willing aid given in the sick room a& well tea in connection with public affairs, and giving utterance to the deep _regret felt at their departure.
