Sanders, well known to Exeter people, and who has travelled for John Green & Co., London, for eight years, has been presented by his fellow employes with a handsome locket and monogram and a silver mounted cane.

Wil son's hand. Later imagine his surprise to find a hundred dollar bill enclosed. Mr, Wilson must be one of God's best." Kingsville cor. to Free Press, "A daring robbery was committed by sneak thieves on Friday night at St. Thomas, and they secured $l0& in cash. Mr. Geo. Daw, tailor at Mr. W. F. Boughner's, and W.

On entering his room he found that both his and Mr, Abernethy's trunk had been forced open with a screw driver. A coat was lying on the floor andd the thief or thieves had evidently made a thorough examinationi';of the trunk. 'Twenty dollars in GMr. Dam's trunk was taken, as well as $85 which was in Mr. Abernethy's. A pocket- book containing $L.50 in the latter's trunk was overlooked ' by the thief. There watt no one upstairs during the evening until the return of Mr, Davie, and the thief or thieves, therefore had a clear course;."

Canada's Great Fair For 1894, The Toronto Industrial Exhibition has now, become one of the great events of the year in Canadian history and is looked forward to by the people in all parts of the Dominion. We have received a copy of the Prize List for this year's Fair, which is to be held from the 3rd to the 15th• September next. The amount of prizes offered is as large as ever and there is every prospect of this year's show excelling all others, as there is no other great Fair to conflict with it, and the Direct- ors have voted a large amount for nov- elties and special features which are also being vastly improved this year. Any one desiring a copy of the Prize List can obtain one by dropping a post card to Mr. H. J. Hill, the Manager, Toron to. Local vs City Trade. Merchants in towns and villages feel very, much ehargined and disappointed when they see their fellow townsmen sending daily to "the city" for dry goods, books, etc., instead of patroniz- ing the mete who are the mainstay of their town. It is exceedingly lament• able to see a conscientious, upright person in a small town doing his best to giye the people in his vicinity a chance to inspect a full range of the seaso..'s novelties, and then when they have fully inspected his stock, got a general idea of what they ought to buy they send for samples from "the city", and finally order from there. We do not proclaim that "to the local victor belong the spoils," but we do maintain that the people of a town are following their own best interests when they pat ronize their own trade. Every store in a town pays a certain amount of rent, taxes, gas bills, etc ,and the wag- es of employer and employee will amount to a snag sunt every year. An- other store occupied increases the price of real estate. Anotirer store and one or two houses occupied means less t'tx es on other property. Another store occupied and competing for trade means an increased number of victors, rural and civil, and an increased cir- culation of money in this and a dozen different ways. The mercliatnts of a town are its back bone. Take thein out of any tcevn and in three months it will be as dead as the proverbial "door nail," They are .the sap of the town, and give it activity and life. Merchants make up the town;they draw residents; they invest money in it; they help it in a thensand ways. --From the May Dry Goods Review (Toronto and Montreal.) JOHNSTON'S Saturday Next Bargain Day.

Proceeds over $40, Since the death of David Thomas Morris, senior member of the Morris - Field -Rogers Co., whose"ad" appears in our columns, it has been decided to re taiu the old name and the business will therefore be carried on in future as in the past under the stye of The Morris - Field Rogers Co, Ltd. Mr. Richard P. Field, who has been associated with Mr. Morris as business partner and me- chanical manager for the past twenty years, will have charge of the menu facturing while Mr. Fredetiek Rogers, so well•known to the trade all over the Dominion, will, as heretofore, have su- perintendence of the tuning and tone regulating department. No other change will be made in the staff and the business will bet onducted in the same manner as in the past but with increased capital. See 'ad." on front page. They Were .roisoned. Considerable excitement has pre- vailed throughout the town during the past few days over the severe sickness of several of a party who celebrated Dominion Day at Grand Bend. There were nine in the load and as a picnic party melt took their day's provisions with them, It appears all went well until after dinner when six out of the, nine were taken suddenly ill and con- siderable. "casting -up -of -accounts" was the resat This state of affairs soon aroused suspteion that all was not right and that they had surely been poisoned. They remitted for several hours in tbis uncomfortable condition but could get no relief and then started for their respective homes. After ar- riving home physicians were sum inorod in each case when it was discovered that they had eaten poison which at that time was suprosed to be its pick- les they had taken with them, but which later turned out to he hellebore used in mistake for !upper in a chicken pie made by Miss Rowe—one of the party. The sick are as follows: --R N. Rowe, James Gould, E. Folliclt, 5 Lam- pert, Lila Gould, (daughter of Mr, las. Gould) and Miss Eliza Rowe. Mr. Rowe was apparently the worst caro and it was feared that the result would prove fatal. However all are now on a fair way to recovery. 8011:8 will be Bois!
