The lucious fruit is being sold here at 2 boxes for 25 cents while in the city they are sold :at tO cents each or 3 boxes for 25 eta fr is presumed that prices will be very tow before the season is over. h runs in our mind that there is a by law making it compulsory for land owners to keep down Canadian thistles and all other obnoxious weeds grow ix,g on their property. If such is the ease we refer the village authorities to the lot at corner of James and Main s5reets.,as well as other vacant and un - (tempted lots in town. We were glad to note in your issue of last week the name of Mr. William Stephen, B. A. of Ander- sot), having passed his final examina- tion before the Medical Council in On• tario receiying a license to praceice, in {Ontario, also having captured the de, gree of B. A. in his examination before die University examiners. It is no . doubt a pleasant surprise to his friends and: himself considering his long jour- ney from New Zealand to take up his studies in his native Canada. We have since been informed that he will at Orme take up the praotlee of medicine.. J. M, Potatoes have become a scarce article very suddenly. A little while ago they were 50 cents a bag and now they sell at $1.25. Let your advertisements ring with a genuine tone of truthfulness; such "ads," convince the reader that there is reliability in you and your wares, The Hamilton Spectator's weather prophet says that the next four weeks will be moderately dry, and the weath er in June will be relatively' warmer than the month of May. "Scotty" McPherson, a tramp painter was in town on Saturday. We gave him the job of lettering the Advocate windows, which he did with elegant artistic results in a very short time. A writ for $10,000 damages for al leged slander has been issued by Jas. B. Short against Wm. Lowden of Park- hill. Short claims that Lowden circu- lated a retort that he (Short) fired his shoe store. It is said that a young man entered a store at Woodstock the other night and surprised the proprietor by an- nouncing that he wanted to buy a bi. cycle on the "insolvent plan." He was likely an acquaintance of the man who said "Them rheumatic tires are great things." The coal scare is over and the G rand Trunk takes all the freight obtainable. Several members of the A. 0, F. Exeter, drove up to Clinton on Sunday last and joined the Lodge of that place in attending divine seryice. Several of the Masonic fraternity in- tend going to Seaforth on Sunday next for the purpose of attending divine worship with the brethren of that town. The Synod of the Diocese of Huron commenced its annual session in Lon- don Monday last. Messrs. Ernest El- liot and. N. Dyer l:turdon are the lay delegates from the Trivitt Memorial Church. Rt v'. Hunt is also in attend- ance The following delegates are attend- ing the Presbyterian General Assembly now in the session at St. John, New Brunswick; Rev. Dr, McDonald, Sea - forth; Rev. J. A. Anderson,, Goderich; Rey. A, McLean. Blyth; Rev. S. Atche- son, Kippcn; and Mr. John Wilson, Seaforth; Mr. Gordon Young, Carlow; Mr. John Strang, Exeter. The unusal rapid vegetation of this season has brought the grass on very fast, and in many places on the edge of the sidewalks, it is so long as to be objectionable. If cyerybody would undertake to cut the grass in front of their property, it would be a great improvement, and the labor in- volved would not be excessive, Do You Know ? How much you can save on ev- ery dollar you spend by doing all your dealing at the Big Bankrupt St Dre. You Can Save . At the very least 10 to 15 per cent. If you want proof posi- tive come and try. . J. A. STEWART. A Kippen correspondent says: -"Mr. John McNevin's team, while in Exeter last week, made things hum for a few minutes. While the driver was on the tongue fastening some of the harness they started to run, but were soon brought to a stand by a telegraph post: Some injury to the harness and wagon was, fortunately, the extent of the damage." The Wingharn Advance suggests that their sidewalk "planks be turned. the other side for a change as the top sid is worn out." Why not have these old worn out planks replaced with new 2 inch plank same as Exeter and all other go•a-heardtowns are having done. The economy of a slow going town is gaged from such a policy as that quoted from the Advauce. You can trace a resemblance be- tween the merchant who, when hard time bear him down, seeks safety by withdrawing. his name from the public gaze and the ostrich who, when it is in danger, considers itself safe when its head is buried in the sand. The man who buries his business prospects by refusing to advertise should bury him- self and have done with it, Before the next issue of the Anvo CATE appears, the election will be over and names of the successful candidates will appear in our next issue. Many of our readers have friends out in the far Dakotas, Manitoba, and the North west Territories, vtho are anxiously awaiting the returns. Extra copies of the ADVOCATE will be printed if you leave you order not later than next Tuesday night and mailed to any ad dress at 3 cents per copy. A brother editor remarks: "We were a little surprised a few days ago to find $50 on the road beside a hedge at the corner of a prominent farmer's home, and the more so to find it had lain there for several months unmo- lested, and beginning to look much the worse from exposure. The money was in the shape of a mowing machine that will have to be replaced with the new one before many years unless cared for better than that, A yery simple but little known method of keeping ice is to draw a piece of thick flannel tightly over some deep vessel, like a bowl. for instance, and fasten it there. The ice if placed on top of this drum -head and covered loosely by another piece :f :: nnel. In this condition the ice keeps cold, and even freezes to the flannel. Thus a small piece of ice can be kept near the patient all night, so as to avert many weary marches up and down stairs to the refrigator. Forest Standard:-" Mr. Frank Snell, one of the graduates of the Forest Shorthand Academy, leaves bore on Saturday to visit his parents in Exet er, after which he will go to Winnipeg to take a position on the C.P.R. Frank will not be soon forgotten by the boys, as he was their bosom friend. The la- crosse and baseball teams will also suf fer a heavy loss, as Frank was an ex- cellent player and the boys looked on him as their main stay: Wherever you may cast your lot, Frank, The Stand- ard wishes you success," So does the AbVO0ATO, A number of the large posters an- nouncing the garden party at John Spackman's, Friday night have been torn down, which is very annoying to those who have to pay for printing and posting. Boys who are in the habit of tearing down bill will 3o well to bear in mind that a heavy penalty is the result to any party found guilty of such destruction. We have heard the remark fre- quently made by women that, just as sure as a house wife gets into her worst clothes and settles down to a hard day's work house-cleaning, just as soon as everything gets beautifully tangled up and she feels like working, in will come two or three visitors, who will politely ignore the chaotic state of the household Tares and penates, and the dishabille of hostess and insist on staying and talking gossip for hours, while the lady of the house tries to look sweet and prays in her inmost soul that her unwelcome guests will depart so that she car, get things straightened up ere her lord and mast er cometh home, and lo and behold the day is completely wasted. Union Picnic. A Union picnic composed of sur- rounding choirs including Exeter and Crediton, also the leading choirs all along the line will be held at Sarnia Park on July 19th. This promises to be a grand affair. 2000 voices and 100 string instruments are to take part. Posters will be issued shortly. Clinton's Grand Celebration, Domin- ion Day. The best day's sport in the county will be held in Clinton on July 2nd. In the morning there will be a national parade, societies, soldiers, bands, bag- pipes, etc., taking part, also a baseball match. In the afternoon. two lacrosse matches, foot races, bicycle races, Wa- bee fight, and a grand torchlight pro- cession and Promenade concert. Re- duced fare on railways and a fifteen cent admission.

Mr. Sam'l Prescator, Huron St., an and employee at the Exeter Salt well, met with a painful accident on Thurs- day last. He was engaged in "raking" and in some way slipped into the boil- ing hot brine, scalding one foot very badly and the other slightly. He will oe unable to do anything for some time, A (bold Act. Saturday evening while Mr, and Mrs. D. Wilcox were entertaining com- pany in the front part of the house some evil disposed person entered the back part and took trom a drawer in Mr. Wilcox's bedroom about eighteen cents, and on Sunday morning while tee family were at church they again entered the house through a window and searched every box and drawer to rhich they could gain access, but only found one cent. The "boy" will be forgiven this time, but k; if he repeats the act, he will have to bear the con sequences. Boys, give up those sinful habits, for the end of them will be the gallows. -Coni. ,Money Lost. A very- peculiar instance in which the Rey. E. W. Hunt is the unfortun- ate loser of $B0 took place on Friday last. It seems the good gentleman went to Mr. Wm. Southcott's tailoring establishment for the purpose of order- ing a snit of clothes and while Mr. Southcott was taking his measure for the pants he. (Mr. Hunt) took his wallet containing $80 from his ]lip pocket and laid it on the desk, and in some way when ]saying forgot to take it. On his return to the store about three o'clock in the afternoon he inquired of Mr. Southcott concerning the lost treasure but strange to say he knew nothing of it or how it had disappeared. It is very peculiar indeed as it was half past eleven when Mr. Hunt was there and Mr. Southcott says he was writing on the desk before twelve. However it is hoped it will turn up and be re- stored to the loser. Mr. "Gus." Handford, who has been engaged as assistant photographer with Mr. Snider, of Renfrew, has been placed in full charge of the studio. This speaks well of our young friend's abil• ties as an artist. A man who apparently was under the influence al liquor, while driving on Huron street Monday night, was turned out of the buggy and the horse ran away leaving him to get home in the best manner he, could. A meeting in the interest of M. Y. McLean, the Reform Candidate, was held in Drew's Hall on Thursday night last, when speeches were made by Messrs. R.. H. Collins, the Candidate and Dr. McDonald. Dr. McDonald was supposed to be the great political "(run" un" of the evening, but his balderdash and exaggerated remarks had little or no weight and a great deal of the trash was even doubted by his party. Boys ill be Boys! The little chaps can't help wear- ing out Clothing. They are not to blame! Parents should see to it, that the clothes they wear are of the start. Summer vacations and school holidays, give a se- vere test to the goods and the workmanship. Both 'should be just right, Carling Bros. make a special feature of boy's cloth- ing, in loth- ing,in style, finish, quality and price. Carling Bros'. clothing is just the thing. . .

An accident that might have been at- tended with serious results occurred at the creamery yesterday (Wed,) when Jas, Jeckell one of the employees was ordered by Mr. Jones, the manager to oil some of the machinery and while so doing the manager forgetting that he had given bis order, set the engine going and consegently the young fel low's arm became entangled in a ; It and was badly crushed, Luckily for him a young lad witnessed the scene in time to notify the manager, who stopped the machinery and this saved his life. He will be unable to work for some time.
