In discussing the question of the handicap under which the small town business man labors with the credit system so general in towns and vil- lages, the Orangeville Sun makes the following pithy remarks: "The wonder to us is, that this sys- tem has not become a general thing with all business men long ago. All merchants and business men are al- lowed from 5 to 30 days to meet drafts on all purchases. Farmers, generally speaking, demand and get cash for their goods on delivery and in many eases on their farm. Mechanics and laborers are usually paid by the week. Therefore, why in all fairness, man to man, should merchants and busi- ness men be expected to allow credit, -without interest, and be obliged to re- sort to force in many cases to get their own, and in doing so shoot the profits on that and many other seles. Liquor stores, beer warehouses, rail- ways, post offices and the big depart- mental and chain stores get cash, without question; that's there method of doing business. Frequently one hears of the competition of the big store or big firm in opposition to any of the small concerns and at the same time the little fellows are carrying thousands of dollars on their books; with an overdraft or having 7 per cent. interest to carry on. Why be the goat? Until the small business men get together and set a hard rule of cash and carry, they will be in trouble and the situation will continue to be even more serious." The department store catalogue the small town business men have always had to contend with. That was bad enough, but since the advent of the car buying out of town has become a fixed habit with far too many citizens. People say these are hard times, they must buy where they can .bey the cheapest. With some that may be all right, but with the great ma- jority that statement is only an ex- cuse, and one that won't hold water either. There may be and undoubtedly are times when the city merchant does offer bargains in groceries, meats, clothing and what not. That is they would be bargains if a person was a resident of the place where they are offered. But to the person who has to travel twenty, thirty or fifty miles to pur- chase these articles, they cease to be buse, of Exeter, sang, I Cometo Thee." After the offertory, Mrs. W. F. Buchanan, of Dunnville, sang, "The Stranger of Galilee." Rev. William Barclay then delivered a splendid ser- mon, taking for his text. St. Matt. 6:9, "Hallowed be Thy name." A severe electrical storm passed over Bayfield early Wednesday learn- ing. The spire of the United Church was struck and the shingles ripped off by a bolt of lightning. This is the third time in the past few years that this spire has attracted the light- ning.

USBORNE Hodgert Reunion. — Ninety-nine years ago yesterday, the first member of the Hodgert family set foot on Canadian Soil. Yesterday about 80 of his descendants gathered in Queen's Park, Stratford, for the third time in as many years. The executive of the reunion, consisting of Milton Hosigert, London, president; Wm. Hodgert, of Exeter, secretary, and G. F. Bray, of New Toronto, treasurer, extends to the City of Stratford its most hearty congratula- tions upon the splendid facilities pro- vided by the park and wants especial- ly to commend the excellent work of the caretaker, R. Freeman, in looking after the welfare of the picnickers. They stated that the continued excel- lent service extended to them had been greatly appreciated. The first member of the Hodgert family in Can- ada was Archibald ,Hodgert who sailed from Glasgow in the year 1832. He settled on the 8th concession of Us - borne and many years later was unit- ed in marriage to Miss Foster. From that union came nine children, four of whom are still living: Mrs. David Richards, Exeter; Mrs. John Bell, Ex- eter; Alex. Hodgert, Russeldale, and William Hodgert, of Exeter. All these were present at the re -union. Mem- bers of the family were also present from Crediton, Exeter, Seaforth, Kip - pen, London, Port Hope, Neve Toron- to Farquhar, Thames Road, Fullerton bargains. and they cease to be bar- and Russeldale. The executive for the gains because the cost of transpor- reunion next year was elected and will consist of William Martin, Kippen, ration exceeds the saving made by president; C. Dow, Russeldale, secre- tary; and K. J. Hodgert, Port Hope, treasurer. Mrs. David Richards, of Exeter was chosen the oldest lady and little Agnes Lillian Bray was chosen the youngest child on the grounds. During the afternoon the picnickers greatly enjoyed two softball games which took place on the diamonds be- low the park proper. In these games the adult team captained by C. Dow, of Russeldale, and the junior team captained by Gertrude Martin, of Kip - pen, were successful. The results of the sports run off during the after- noon were as follows: 'Girls, 7 and under, Alma Richards; Mildred Bod- ged; boys, 7 and under, K. Hodgert, Reg. Hodgert; 'girls, 10 and under, Lillian Hodgert, Evelyn Dow; boys, 10 and under, W.
