The proprietors of a livery stable in
Galt, recently started under new aus-

That time flies is generally a matter
of regret. In regard to house -flies,
however, popular opinion is different,
for it is their arrival and not their de-
p•Lrture that is regretted. The early

bows to the unresponsive public.

Many of Dr. H. L. Billing's (dentist)
friends in this vicinity will be pleased
to learn that the doctor is at present
enjoying an exceptionally good prac-
tice in Brantford, so much so, that he
has been obliged to associate with him
self his brother, of Giem oe, who is also
well known to our citizens. The fol-
lowing item clipped from the London
Free press refers to the latter gentle
men. •'On Tuesday night a number
of the associates of Dr. Billings, who is
leaving Glencoe for Brantford, met at
Mrs. McMillan's parlors and presented
the doctor with a handsome meers-
chaum smoker's set, accompanied by a
kindly -worded address.

The Canada Presbyterian throws out.
the following timely hint to clergy-
men and church workers generally:—
"The press being friendly as a whole,
and having immense power and un-
rivalled facilities for reaching the pec
ple, might not the church make more
use of it than is now made? Is there
any reason why a minister should not
give the local press an occasional ex-
tract from his sermons and thus reach
a much larger congregation than the
one he preached to from the pulpit? Is
there any reason why a minister or
any other good man should not send
the editor a fresh news item? We ab-
hor puffing, and above everything else
clerical puffing, but an ocassional
striking paragraph from a sermon, or
a newsy item is not puffing. There is
a proper as well as an improper use of
the press. One of the worst varieties
is improper use of badgering the local
editor to insert dead head church note.

Exeter will have a Band.
It is now a settled question that Exe-
ter is to have a brass band. The past
week a subscription list was passed
around among our citizens and was met
with liberal contribution, ,this with
what was granted (under certain stip-
ulation) by the council on Monday
night last will enable the "boys" to
purchase some new instruments which
are needed at once, and have been or-
dered from Toronto. Several other
instruments are still required and
those who have not yet contributed
and wish to help support a band will
kindly hand in their contributions to
either Messrs T. B. Carling, L. H. Dick-
son or J. Senior. The new band is com-
posed of all young men who are likely
to remain citizens which makes good
prospects for a permanent organization.
Hand in your contributions, quick! By
all means let us have a good band.

Walkerton Telescope: If reports be
true the constables are losing control of
the town, and the citizens will be com-
pelled:to form a vigilance committee
for their own protection. Toughs con-
gregate on the street corners and
amuse themselves by guying and an•
noying people who pass by, Saturday
and Sunday nights are the worst, hut;
any night in the week is bad enough.
We have a night watchmen, but he
does not apparently deem it to be a
part of his duty to come into conflict
with those disturbers of ,the public
peace. • It is outrageous that ladies in
going home from church should have
to search out some unfrequented by-
way rather than to pass the crowds
that congregate on the main street cor
ners.• It is surely not necessary that
this stateof things should be allowed to
continue. The other constables claim
that it the duty of the night-watch-
man to see that order is preserved at
night, and their contention seems rea-
sonable. What has the town council
to say about it?
Cricket Matches.
The prospects of the Exeter Cricket
Club were never brighter than they
are for the coming season. Several
new members have joined, and with a
little push on the part of the commit-
tees and secretary the club should
make a good showing. Situated as
they are, there should be no lack of
matchss, and we hope our townspeople
will encourage the club in every way.
If a little more good feeling prevailed
and not quite so much scrapping
among
g
some of the active
members this club
'would be more highly appreciated. The
following matches are in course of ar-
rangement:—

Wedding 110118.
The residence of Mr, John Hawkshaw
was the scene of a pleasant and inter-
esting event, Wednesday, 2nd inst , at
about 2 o'clock p. m. it being the mar-
riage of his . daughter, Hettie May, to
Mn Samuel White, of Detroit, Mich., son
of Mr. James White Hensall. The cere-
mony was performed by the Rev E. W.
Hunt in the presence of about fifty of
the contracting parties' near relatives.
The bride looked charming in a cos-
tume of cream cashmere, surah and
lace and was assisted by Miss Maud
Beaton, of Detroit, who was also attired
in cream cashmere, surah and lace.
Mr. McLeod; of- Detroit, acted as best
man, The ceremony over all sat down
to a sumptuous repast to which all did
ample justice, The large number of
useful and costly presents receiyed by
bride go to show the high esteem in
which'thelbride was held by her many
friends. At about 5 o'clock the happy
couple, accompanied by a large num-
ber of the relatives, were driven to the
depot where they took the evening
train for theirfuture home in Detroit,
