BY ALL DEALERS, C The New Market, Every farmer will be interested to know that j'lxeter is now in a double sense a market town and despite the forethought afn ar� ore rivalling yall1ir in value that of Litany other places. The nese market is a convenience that a few thought a necessity and -at the polls foiled to their pleasure these thoughts but the expression of many. Farmers andtheir wives from. a dis have • n ,miles l • from 1 toiifteo c offrortei tan. e since come with their stuff to prove their satisfaction and our own mer- chants with astonishing energy have classed themselves as buyers and in with a regular companyss t,lt tltt, r.cgular dealers are booming it to an extent .undreamt of. All deserved praise to tlzeni and may our worthy Board of Trade long have their aid to such an extent in other schemes which may be deemed desir• able to ads=oeate and place, in success- ful operation. There is, however, an element still wanting to make the mar ket what it should and might be and it is the assistance of the ladies of our town. Their patronage, and naught whilst be left: to be desired, and we ask them as a matter of village patriotism to take this spot under their wing we might suggest that the :pleas- ure of buying their roll and dozen un - adored by aught save the morning breeze will go some distance to repay for a seeming' inconveniencewith the close pursuing autumn season and the closing summer, potatoes,cabbaties and vegetables of all kinds, a spring chick- en or duck will add their attraction to this resort and the needs of all may be supplied at one time without loss to the gains of our village merchants. And whilst exchanging material things with our country friends and crossing their hands with a "bit o' the sipper, a mutual a pleasant leasarnt eY- change can be made of more material expressions of good will and kindness grid a cement thus formed of the most valuable kind to connect and retain the generous support of our country side.

The Butter and Egg market is prov- ing to be a grand success, On Satur- day last the market was crowded with farmers and their wives. The prices paid. were the highest, in fact as high as the London and Toronto markets. Strange isn't it, how willing: the boys. are to run errands, for some show or concert, when it requires all the ur- gence and patience a mother an ac- quire to get them to de a favor which canbe done in less than half the time. We do wish that the limber jawed gossips would let up awhile and give the newspapers a chance to publish the news. The papers stand no earthly show against two or three women in this town who know , things two or three weeks before they happen.

This is the time of the year when all who can afford to do so throw the cares of business to the bow -wows and go in for relaxation at the seaside summer resort or the quiet rural retreat. But it happens unfortunately that most of us can't spare time to go even to the rural retreat.

Quite a number of our Canadian towns have adopted the idea of teach, ing the youth of the llotntinioit patriot- ism, by erecting flag stabs on the differ- ent school buildings, from which the fag of our country will be fliuig to the breeze on anniversaries of days made memorable in the history of Canada. This is a splendid idea, and we hope to see it generally adopted, why Pileales are $o Calle,.. Everybody knows what a picnic is, but most folks would find it hard to got that na and it ' say how it r ma, a d y yet is simple enough when you come to learn it. When a picnic was being arranged for, the custom originally was that those who inteoded to be present should supply the eatables and drinkables. A list of those necessities haying peen drawn ula it was pissed around, and each person picked out the article of food that he or she was willing to fur- nish, and the name of the article was nicked or ticked off the list. The ec.amo knoknownopen- e • : air entertainment tutus b as a pick and hick. The custom is said to date from 1S02, so that the pic- nic is wholls an institution of the nine- teenth century. As stated, it must have strongly resembled what -is now called a surprise party.

Cut Your Clover Early. , Early haying is of special importance with the clover crop. 12 the weather is favorable cutting should begin when the crop is in full bloom, and,before the head begins to turn 'brown. There is nearly as much n eight when 111 full bloom, and probably* more nourishment and attractiveness, than ,labii: Tire early cutting avoids the risks of having the clover beaten down by storms, which will often, where the growth is large, twist it so .that much will be left uncut. This is a very* unfortunate condition With clover. The long stubble does not grow so freely, as it to some extent smothers and enfeebles the roots. The closer and earlier the first crop is cut the better will be the second crop. On rich land three and even four cut- tings may thus be had in a year, and though all will be scarcely in blow, they make the very best clover hay that can be grown. Public school -Board 'minutes.

J. Gnreca, See'y. A Tripe Overdone. A quack, having invented a wonder- ful hair invigorating fluid, applied to an editor for a testimonial. flegave it in these terms, calculated, we should think, to convince the most skeptical: "A little applied to the inkstand has given it a coat of bristles, malting it a• splendid penw!per at little ; cost. We applied some to"a tenpenny nail, and the nail now is the handsomest lather. brush you ever saw, with beautiful soft hair growing. from the end of it, some two or three inches in length. Applied to the door stones it does away with the use of the mat; applied to the floor, it will cause to" grow therefrom hair sufficient for a` Brussels carpet. A little weal: lather sprinkled over a barn makes it imprevious to the wind, rain or cold..

Now that the hot weather is with us, the sunstroke season may be expected to be in.i.ug,urated any day. We thct'e- fore sound'a note of warning in time, and for this purpose the following' ex- tract from the Chicago Her ald is given: "There is not the slightest need of sun stroke if simple principles of health are observed. The fact is that most Sim- i strokes come from excessive heat with - in the body, superinduced by the con- sumption of too heating food and the drinking• of intoxicants, or too much ice water When overheated from exertion or exposure. TIie carrying of a wet handkerchief or a cool large leaf with- in the hat is an easy protective. It is also easy to walk instead of hurrying through the street on a hot day. It is better to diminish the amount and the temperature of foods and to eat less heat and more vegetables and good. Mill: •is the best hot fruits. Mweather drink, but it should not be iced. As for iced seater, the prohibitionists should apply their energy to its ravages.

The garden party held in the public school grounds ou Friday evening was a decided success in every particular. There were present over five hundred people. The grounds were beautifully* illuminated by Chinese lanterns, etc. A platform was erected on the north side of the grounds, where a short address was delivered by the principal,' Mr, G. H. Tom, and the musical part of. the program was carried out. The program seas taken part in by Gidley's Orchestra, Mr, R. H. Collins, Mr.' W. Gundy, several of the school children and the Harmonica Band, all of whom carried out their parts in masterly" style. Ice cream to the amount of some thirty quarts wasv disposed of. The Exeter Brass Band was present and furnished excellent music for the proceeds oc net The i eeds were in the neighborhood of of $67, which will be used for the purchase of an organ. for the use of the school.
