—In all sections of the country there

,the fine weather of the last three weeks

week or ten days. This stage of the
work has already been reacted by a few
farmers, but very few.
—Mr. John Edmonds, brother of Rev,
J. Edmonds, of Blyth, died in Burling-
ton ou Wednesday of last week at the
age of 71 yearn. Paralysis was the
, cause of death. Rev. Mr. Edmonds
attended the (uttered, which took place
on Friday and was very largely attend-
ed. The late Mr. Edmonds was at one
time a prominent business man of that
, section of Ontario, but, having attained
a competency, had long since retired
from business,
—Blythitea who frequent the railwey
station when they have no business
there,. should read the following item
from last week's Brussels Post, and
take eearning: "The train -master was
up this line of railway one evening last
week and witnessed the not unfrequent
crowd of sightseers, who often incom-
mode the travelling public by throng
ing the platform on the arrival of
trains. He hinted that a railway de-
tective might calf here some day soon,
securethe names of the loiterers and
ask them to appear before a magistrate
as to what their business there was,
Brumselites are not the only sinners ie
this respect as at many other depots
the same undesirable state of affairs
exist. Those interested should save
the detective a visit to Brussels,"
—Every business man ie in business
for a purpose, If that purpose is to get
` busineas he must plea in a businesslike
way to appeal to those who have needs,
and must tell in a ,businesslike way
why he believes he can sell goods that
will satiety those need& The necessity
' with the business man, therefore, ie to
decide what he wants to do and provide
' k way for doing just that thing,
gating the goods to sell is the itnpurt-
antmatt'er, to the man who wants
custom. Everybody is anxious to have
good quality or anxious to save cash.
The man whose wares will enable the
' saving of money and the satisfying of
ideas also will have a clearer field of
appeal. The only necessary feature
then will be to see that the people in
general tied out what is offered, and
why -the offering is irorth considering.
Studying the needs of the people and
anxiety and determination to satisfy
theseneeds in the hest possible way
lit sufficient mental occupation to keep
the Merchant busy all through his
leisure hours. The first problem of
what a man is in business for is easily
answered, The" next problem of how
may a man het more business must be
solved correctly if it is expected to add
to his income.

dent of Blyth for many veers, and who
left here one year ago for Sears, Michi-
gan, died at the latter plane on March

old friends in Blyth is extended to Mrs.
Lowery in her bereavement.

—We have received the following
communication from the Blyth fire bri-
gade: " We beg to inform the citizens of
Blyth that our lire brigade has been
unjustly cetteured by the Blyth corres-
pondent to the Seafortlt Expositor,
when he stated our two engineers were
not ready to act at Kennedy's tire on
Sunday evening, March elnd, This
statement is untrue, and we eoesitler it
very small on the part of the cortespen-
dent to make such a statement, 15 is
only a few weeks since his own place of
business was saved from destruction
by fire through the prompt action of the
fire brigade,—B1,yrtt Fins IlalusDS."
—The New York Jounnei says that
the cigarette trust gives employment to
a large and presumably high-priced lit-
erary bureau, whose duty it is to prove
that the popular prejudice againetclger-
cites is unfounded, and that the pro-
ducts of the trust are really calculated,
in the highest degree, to promote the
physical, mental and moral health of
the community. Notwithstanding the
lying advertisements sown broadcast
by this literary bnreaa, the fact re-
mains that any young than attempting
to secure employment with the Journal
would find his chances reduced 90 per
cent if he smoked cigarettes, and his
chances of keeping his jolt would decline
by another 80 per cent if he coutiuued
to smoke them after he got it. Cigar -
atm smoking clouds the brain and
saps the nerves. Nobody ever regretted
letting it alone, but &good many people
have regretted beginning it.
—Rev. J. Edmonds conducted a me-
morial service in Trinity church on Sun-
day evening for the late Rev. A. P.
Moore, who died itt Harper's hospital,
Detroit, on March 20th, Rev. Mr,
Edmonds selected for his text the fol-
lowing words: "If a man die, shall he
live again?" Joh xis., 14. This is the
same text that the late Rev. Mr. Moore
preached from in 'Trinity church ou
Sunday evening, August 24th last. On
Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Edmonds
said: " I sin taking the same text pur-
posely as the text for this memorial
sermon. It is the only tribute of friend-
ship that 1 can offer to his memory and
manly worth, Little did we think
whet' he was here that we were listen-
iu to bun for the last time—his laet
sermon—that be was preaching his own
funeral sermon. And yet it was.
When Iheard that be was deed I was
astonished and grieved. When he was
here, he looked the very picture of
manly health and vigour, it magnificent
specimen of physical msnhoo1 tasselling
on the very threshold of life, only 88
years of age, with bright prospects be -
lore him, 1 had predicted for him a
moot successful career, and I lied
written to hint more than once to that
effect." Rev. Mr. Edmonde closed his
sermon with the same words that Rev,
Mr. Moore closed his sermon with last
August, which were the last words
written by Teonesou: "Crossing the
C. H. BEESE. Bar."
