Death of Former Business Man. - Many of our readers will regret to learn of the death of Mr. Edwin Charles Messett, a former w,el1 known business man of this town, bvhich oc- curred at his home in Petersburg, roeently, following an operation. A number of years ago Mr. Messett owned the Seaforth Marble Works, and carried on an extensive business in this district. He was a brother-in- law of Mrs. L. C. Jackson, of Sea - forth. To Correspondents. -Several let- ters on different subjects have been received this week by The Expositor, none of which, however, bore the signature of the senders, and in two cases not even the point from which they were mailed. We are always pleased to receive letters front our readers on any subject of public in- terest, in fact we earnestly solicit them, but there i's one hard and fast rule we must lay down and that is that all communications must he sikned by the writer, not that the signature must necessarily be pub- lished, but as a protection to the paper. SVe think that the necessity for this rule is self evident. t � Manson -Kling. -A quiet wedding was solemnized at the Manse in Eg- mondvjlle on Wednesday morning of this week by Rev. W. D. McDonald, when Mrs. Mary Kling, of Egmond- ville, was united in marriage to Mr. William David Manson, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Manson, of Kippen.
