THE' H
Belgrave, is visiting her friend, Mies Annie
Drummond, this week. -This place is to have
only three licensed hotel. this year, and
as there are five hotels there is a great fight
to capture the licenae. Three of the hotel -
keepers are going around with petitions but
it does not seem to mske much difference
-whether they have the license or not as they
sell anyway. -Our juvenile lodge in connec-
tion with the Good Templar* is at present
in a very flourishing condition, having two
and three initiations every meeting. This
is a grand work and if we can only keep our
young from the evil habits, which it pro-
hibits, we will be able to claim the best
young folks in the country. -Rev. Mr.
Campbell preached a fine sermon Sunday
evening, taking for his text Mark x, 4344.
-There is some prospect of Mr. Jenkins,
of Wingham, brother of our photographer,
starting a tailor shop here. There ought to
be room for another good tailor, but he must
be a good one to run against S. H. Gidley.
-Mr. Harry Nivons, formerly in the em-
ploy of W. H. McBride, has secured his old
situation in St. Marys and intends leaving
for that place in the near future. Harry iei
a good baker and is sure to get along all
right. -Mr. P. Purvis was in Benmiller
Friday ou busineas.-Ur. Glacben, of Ben -
miller, was in our midst on Monday. -
There was. a meetbag held in the Commercial
Hotel Monday evening, for the purpose of
organizing a band, which was very well at-
tended. They decided to go ahead and
elected the following officers: Honorary
President, Mx. John Emigh ; President,Mr.
Charles Hamilton; Secretary -Treasurer,
Mr. James Huckstep. There were some-
where in the neighborhood of 25 who want-
ed to belong. The following committee were
appointed to interview the business men and
to meet the council next Monday evening
and see what aid they would get from them:
Mesers. S. H. Gidley, James Huckstep and
J. B. Keller, and report at the meeting to be
held next Tuesday night. It is a disgrace
to a town the glee of Blyth not to be able to
support a band. We are sure the council
will help them along as we have been so
Jong without one. -Mr. Scarlett is at present
having hia,hardvsare store repainted in the
inside which will improve it greatly. -Mea.
John Drummond, we are sorry to say, is at
present seriously in. -Master John Habkirk
ha a secured a eitnation in Mr. Archie Tay-
lor's grocery store.. -Mr. Nelson McGee has
engaged to learn the blackamithing with
Mn Phillips. -Mr. McDowell wears a -smil-
ing face, his wife having presented him with
a girl last week. -Mr. Win. Taman who was
spending a few holidays with his brother in
Gerrie last week returned home on Monday
evening. He reports having a delightful
time. -Mr. Wm. Tait spent Sunday in
Brussels. -Mrs. Wm. Emigh spent a few
days in Brussels visiting friends. -Miss S.
Brownlee is visiting in and around Seaforth
this week.
Exeter.
BRIDES. -The roads have dried up nicely
in this village the past few days. -Mr.
Thomas Oke, of this place, recently disposed
of his splendid farm of 100 acres, being lot
2, concession 3, Stephen, to Mr. Charles
Callas's, from Iowa, for the sum of $5,700.
Mr.Cadfass has succeeded in securing a good
bargain. -The marriage fever has been very
Drevalent the past week in this village. It
being leap year, hence the sudden change
has taken place. -On Monday evening last
the Royal Templars of Temperance of this
place held an open meeting in the lecture
room of the James Street church. A large
number attended, which goes to show that
the temperance element is increasing in the
village. A silver collection was taken up,
which will be donated to the poor and needy
in town, -Mr. James Acheson, of, thn Cen-
tral Hotel, spent last week visiting 'friends
at Sarnia. -Messrs. Ardagh Stanlake and
William Johns leave this place on Monday
nett for Manitoba, to spend the summer
working at their respective trades. -Mr.
Allan McDonell shipped a car of splendid
horses from this place on Monday last for
Manitoba. -Mr. R. B. Smith, the general
agent of the Massey -Harris firm, spent the
beginning of this week assisting the local
agent in selling binders. -The Independent
Order of Foresters intend getting up- a
monster celebration here on the Queen's
Birthday, when there 'Will be a Society,
Trades and Calithunipien procession, besides
numerous other attractions. -Mr. A. Cottle
had a splendid sale on Wednesday last, ev-
erything bringing good prices. -Messrs,
Perkins & Martin have disposed of several
sewing machines and organs recently. They
are pushing business men and should be
patronized. -On Sunday while Mrs. Miler,
wife of David Miller, V. S. was attending
to her household duties, she atumbled, and
in falling extended her hand to save herself,
when it came in contact with the cooking
!stove, burning the palm of her hand. Hav-
ing slightly recovered she fell a second time,
and this time the back of the injured hand
received a roasting. Although the injury
is painful it is not serious.
sorry to learn thatehe was detained at home
on account of sickness. They united with
the Boston Methodist Church eongregation,
and Rev. J. R. Holmes preached a very in-
teresting and, instructive sermon. -The me-
morial sermon of the late J. R. Watson will
be preached in the -Boston Methodist Church
next Sabbath, April 3rd. -A number of our
leading fanners have advised the hens to
go on a strike" while eggs remain at 8
cents per dozen.
Hullett.
OUR Coueone-The Hunan council met
at Londeaboro on Monday March 25th,
members were all present. This meeting
was held chiefly for the purpose of appoint-
ing pathmasters, and 92 of those appointed
will be new ones and 13 re -appointed. The
fence viewers, and pound keepers will be the
same as hit year, except that Mr. B.
Churchill will be a fence viewer instead of
Mr. Enos Hull. Councillors Latham, Snell
and Macdonald were instructed to have the
fences near the Londesboro and Manchester
bridgee repaired or rebuilt as soon as prac-
ticable. A few accounts were passed for
gravel &c., and the council adjourned until
called again by the reeve.
Chiselhurst.
NOTES, -A large number of guests were
pleasantly entertained by Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Newell on Wednesday evening of
last week, the occasion of the marriage of
their second daughter, Miss Emily, to Mr.
N. lforton, of Ribbed. The estimable
young couple have the beet wishes of a
large circle of friends for their future pros-
perity arid happiness. -Rev. Mr. Martin, of
Exeter, has sufficiently recovered to be
a,ble to take his accustomed place in the
Presbyterian church last Sabbath and Ms
many friends were greatly pleased to have
him back again. -The many friends of Mrs.
George DobSon, who has been in poor health
for some time, will be pleased to learn that
she is recovering, although slowly. -Mr.
Robert Lang, of Paisley, Scotland, is at
present visiting his friend, Mr. John
Templeton, 10th concession. For several
years Mr. Lang has been engaged in export-
ing carriage horses film this country to
Glasgow. He buys mostly in the vicinity
of Chatham and in that district. He finds
a ready sale for good, suitable horses of
this class in the old country and has a con--
signment of thirty on the way there now
and will take more back with him when he
goes.
Blake.
DEAR EXPOSITOR. -In looking over the
EXPOSITOR of March 4th, I see by the Blake
news that Mrs. Blair was visiting Mr. P.
Drysdale, in this neighborhood, but as far
as I knew, there is no person by the name
of P. Drysdale around here. It must have
been intended for Robert Drysdale,but why
Mr. Drysdale should change his name we
do not know. As for Mr. WM. Eckmier
going to Michigan to see his motber, he has
been dead about three years and his mother
about one year. If we are going to get a
railway from here to Kippen we could not
get a better man for conductor than John.
If he should be as faithful in that as he
has been with the mail he will be a credit to
the company. We must excuse our Blake cor-
respondent for the above mistakes, as it was
election time, and his head was somewhat
muddled.-URITIe.
NOTES. -The first meeting of the Blake
Literary Society was held in the school
house on Thursday last. A good programme
was well carried out, and as the membership
is large, and all seem interested and active,
it will likely be a success. The chief dish
on the bill of fare for next night is a debate.
-Messrs. Donald Manson and John Esler,
who have been and still are on the sick list,
the former with inflammation of the lungs
and the latter with pleurisy,•we are happy
to be able to atate are now past all danger
and on the highway to recovery. -Mr.
Swayzie has moved his family into the house
that had been occupied by the late Mrs.
Smith. A house never remains long vacant
in our thriving burg. -Miss Lizzie Esler,
who has been enjoying a well-earned holi-
day under the parental roof returned last
week to Grand Rapids, Michigan. -Tho old
familiar face of Mr. John Reith is still
once in a while to be seen in this vicinity. -
Mr. A. Thompson, who has for some time
past been laid up with an attack of la grippe
is improving slowly.
of Knox Church, Stratford, performed the
ceremony, whi-oh made the couple man and
wife. Mr. Leitch also took occasion to pay
a warm and earnest tribute to the Salvation
Army for the work they were doing in sav-
ing souls.
-Mr. John Kennedy, a prominent farmer
of Blanchard, committed suicide by ehoot-
ing himself last Friday morning. It is sup-
posed that his mind had been affected for
some time past, and for the last few days he
had been unusually 'despondent. Whilst on
his way to the bush, at the vier of his farm,
shortly after seven o'clock in the morning,
he drew a revolver from his pocket and sent
a bullet through his brain. Death was
instantaneous. Deceased was a man of in-
fluence in that section, and his untimely
death is deeply deplored by all.

Brussels, when an excellent programme of

and batisfactory manner. The following
are the names of those who took part:
Ella Ainley, Jas. Hogg, Marshall Lowick,
Donald McKenzie, Allen Cardiff, Lottie
Hill, Ella McCracken'Mrs. J. Smith, Maud

Mary Lang, Bella Botz, Lizzie Bryan, Mary
Lamont and Atelia Chambers.
A BAD SMASH. -A great deal of excite-
ment was occasioned here on Tuesday last
on its becoming knowu that the private bank
of Messrs. McIntosh & McTaggart had
closed its doors and suspended payment. It
seems that for a week previous there had
been a run on the bank by depositors and
that having paid out over thirty thousand
dollars and having exhausted his available
means and being unable to get aid, Mr.
-hIcIntosh, the senior proprietor and mana-
ger, became discouraged and rather than re-
main and face his irate creditors, he quietly
took his departure. At any rate, Mr.
McIntosh left on Friday last and has not
yet returned. He told his assistant that he
was going to London and would be back on
Monday. Instead of returning, however, he
sent a letter saying that he had decided not
to come back and that his partner would be
along in a few days and wind up the busi-
ness. Of course nothing definite regarding
the standing of the estate can be stated un-
til the books are investigated by a skilled
accountant, but it is the general impression,
although the depositors are numerous and
the deposit account large, that if the
business is carefully wound up and the
assets are mostly collectable, that the
depositors will be paid in full. The Bank
has been in operation here for about fifteen
years., and enjoyed, to a high degree, the
public confidence, and was supposed to be
thoroughly sound financially. Mr. McIn-
tosh, also, was held in high esteem and was
looked upon as a shrewd, careful, honest
business man, and his standing in the com-
munity may be judged from the fact that
only last January he was elected Reeve of
the village for the first time,by acclamation.
The depositors are principally residents of
the village and surrounding country. It is
supposed that Mr. McIntosh is now in the
States, and unless things are much worse
than any one here supposes, he would act
wisely to return and look after the winding
up of the badness himself.

NOTES. -At a meeting of the Patrons of
Industry last Tuesday, it was decided to
make up an order for plows, to be given to
Verity & Sons, Exeter. -The severe illness
of Herbie Hamilton has at last terminated in
death, and on Tuesday last wesk his remains
were conveyed by six of his little com-
panions to their laat resting place, accom-
panied by a large number of sympathizing
friends. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the conanunity.-We were
again called to pay onr lest respects to the
dead, and on Sunday last the remains of
Joseph Armstrong were laidto rest in Roy's
church burying ground, Mr. Armstrong
spent last summer in IMichigan and came
home about Christmas suffering from in
grippe, which was followed by a complica-
tion of diseases which resulted in his death
on Saturday last. Being a member of Far-
quhar lodge of Foresters, this society took
charge of the remains and headed the pro-
cession to the grave,where they were buried
with Forestic honors. Mrs. Armstrong and
family have the deepest sympathy of this
neighborhood, as was shown by the number
who followed the remains to the last resting
place. -The nomination to fill the offices
made vacant by the resignation of Deputy
Reeve Ryan and Councillor Barbour was
held on Monday laat in the township hall,
Staffa. There was a large attendance of
ratepayers. After the nomination had
closed the different nominees were called on
to address the sleeting. For Reeve,all with-
drew, ex.ceptine Thomas Ryan, thus leaving
him elected by acclamation. The deputy
reeveahip is to be contested for by three
candidates, viz.: James Barbour, Richard
liotham and Peter Campbell. The election
takes place on Monday next.
