Broderick is moving from his old stand into the store recently va- eated by Mr. Hugh Spackman. Gems and sealers are again being exhibited in the grocers windows, and makes one think of the near approach of the fruit season. It was feared that the recent frost had done considerable damage to the fruit but we are pleased to note that such is not the case. Mr. D. Weismiller, the popular can- didate for South Huron, and Mr. L. H Dickson, adressed a political meeting as Kirkton Tuesday evening. The street and country roads which have been in a very muddy state from the effect of the recent rain are again drying up and traffic is much better To the people of Exeter and vicinity we tree to announce that H.

The Exeter Base Ball Club will play a friendly genie of ball to -day (Thurs.) with the "Irish nine" of Lucan on the old spin Cries, ground West of Hawkshaw's hetet An exciting game is expected. The “Yellowstone Bill" circus and combination which showed here on Thursday last was a genuine fake and a more desreputabie lot of young men who follow a circus was never seen. "Bill's" next visit to Exeter will be a eery unwelcome one, William Brophy, of Goderich, has been appointed by the Provincial Sec retary, Inspector of Anatomy for this county, vice Daniel Gordon, deceased. His duties are to take charge of all un- claimed dead bodies and forward them to Toronto for dissecting purposes, The remains of the late Mrs, Robert rl-.Evans, were brought here by train from London Monday morning and. taken to the residence of her son, Mr. ,fnhn Evans, and from there consigned re their last resting place. in the Elim 'tile cemetery. She wasa former eeeidept of Tlirpvilje, his reek we were informed by a friend who has had experience that the recent wet weather has been more art Macling to the potatoes underground ?ban the frost was to those which have ppeared above ground. The soil was so thoroughly soaked that many of the tubers have rotted. The noisome (?) sounds which have heretofore emanated from the Trivitt Memorial Church bells are now no riiore. For the past two weeks Rev. 11tnet, rector, and five young men of the congregation, have been having a, thorough practicing course on the Chimes, and on Sunday last they did the best chiming that has been heard for a long, time, After reading cur exchanges' ac- count of the 24th May celebrations held' itt thevarious towns throughout the county, we have failed to notice that any of them had a better program, and a larger crowd than did Exeter, or where there was more patriotism and o ithusiasm exhibited in the days pro- ceedings than right here in Exeter. 1 his speaks well for the Exeter Turf Association and is much encourage• trent for greater efforts on their part for a bigger celebration next year. for Exeter! The Blyth Standard says; ,"On the 24th we were shown a field of fall wheat "out in ahead." This is prob- ably the earliest on record.' The town property of the late John Veal, was oti'ered for sale by auction on Friday last at the Commercial House, but was not sold. The highest hid was $115--$35 less than the re- served bid. Compositors and proofreaders get much blame for the occassional errors they make and little praise for the many blunders they rectify. One day last wee, while Mr. Joseph Peart was working on a step ladder, he accidentally fel and broke two ribs. He is able to be around but is unable to do any work, Seaforth council has passed a by-law to prevent boys from congregating on the street corners and in doorways of stores on Main street. A similar one would work well in Exeter. The Thornbury Herald edited and published by Mr, Wes. Fauson, (who was well known in Exeter in his boy hood days) has turned its second mile - scone and is much credit to that town The Herald is full of well displayed "ads" evidencing the fact "Wes." is an experienced "print" and also, that the business men of Thornbury, believe that advertizing pays.

An old lady who mistook the inten- tion of the Curfew Bell went to a Galt town councillor this week and declared the approval of the idea. "Any man who has not decency enough to go home to his wife at 9 o'clock, ought to be sent home." she said.

On Monday evening last a number of the friends of Mr. James Egan met at the Commercial House to pay a mer- ited tribute of respect in the presenta tion of an address and an elegant gold watch, prior to his departure from our midst. Mr. Egan has been a resident of our town for nearly six and a half years, and during that time, by his obliging manner, genial disposition, coupled with his many other estimable qualities, has gained the respect of all who knew him. The following address speaks for itself:— Exeter, June 4th, x894. To JAMES EGAN, DEAR nia,—We the undersigned hav- ing heard with great regret that you are about to leave this town. could not allow you to depart from amongst us without ex pressing to you how much you will be miss- ed. In all out -door, as well as social pleasures, you have been amongst the fore- most to lend ahelpiog hand and in yonr de parture we shall find a void has been creat- ed which will not easily be filled. In your vocation you have always been noted for your affabiPty and faithful application at your work and we are sure all the ,merch- ants in this place will join with us in offer- ing you rneet praise for such. If ever you visit Exeter you may rest assured of a hearty welcome from us. Allow us, there- fore, to present you with this gold watch as a token of our appreciation of yourself and your efforts. Trusting that whatever you undertake may be a success, We are yours faithfully, N. D. Hvtznoe.

Come Early 'and Secure the Choice of these Snaps ! G. G. JOHNSTON, Exoter. Knocks out Fish Stories. A dispatch from Woodstock says: The storm Friday undoubtedly did great damage to fruit trees and crops in this section. About fifteen miles north of Woodstock the hail is said to be sixteen inches deep. while on sides of roads there are banks of it. A Nut to Crack. The following problem is worthy the consideration of solvers of arithme- tician queries: Two men take a job of digging a ditch of 100 rods at$1 per rod and after they start one says it is so hard he can't dig it for the $1; the other says, "I'll give you $1.25 per rod and I'll take 75 ets." They start at different ends and were to meet, How many rods does each dig to earn $50, there being only 100 rods? Swift "]licks." One wonders why some men can be small enough to borrow a neighbor's newspaper each issue, and often before said neighbor has himself given it a respectable perusal, when, for a small amount annually, he can have one of his own. It may be only a peculiar fancy of mine, but I think Her Majesty by and with the consent of Parliament, should place news paper borrowing on the criminal code, and enact that any one guilty of it should be liable to a seyere fine, or other rigorous punish- ment. Now, there's John Smith, for instance, (we all know John Smith,) he is as good a head as ono would wish to see; is a man of sound principles, and knows a good thing when he sees it. He receives a sample copy of the ADVOCATE, for instance, again. He reads it and discovers that it, contains just what he wants, a good variety of interesting reading matter, clearly printed and neatly arranged. He sees at once that it is not necessary to dam- age his eyesight in a vain attempt to discover letters that fail to come to the surface, or puzzle his tired brain in endeavoring to find what meaning a certain word would eonyey when spell- ed correctly, He loses no time in hav- ing his name placed on the ADVOCATE list, midis ever after recognized by the editor thereof as a clever man and a statesman, Bill Jones lives next door to John Smith. Ho doesn't believe in paying for anything that he can get for nothing, and sends little Billy to barrow Mr. Smith's ADVOCATE every issue, "as there is something in it he would like to sew" Mr. Smith is too good•natured to refuse and lends it; but he says things in his own mind that Mr, Jones should hear but don't. Then the editor hears of it, and thinks words in his mind that he has trained himself not to utter. A lot of harm done, you see, by the meaness of Mr. Jones. Gentle reader, are you a bor. rower? If sc, don't borrow any more but pay your do)la.r like a little man, and receive a blessing'. Are you a render ? Don't lend again. News- paper borrowers should be discourag- ed, as it is ai small, very* small busi ne8a, anyway. The little chaps can't help wear - hist out Clothing. They are not. to blame!
