As we were about to go to press the sad news reaches us of the death of Tomas Triyitt Esq. The Crepe. Haying is well under way and in many sections completed, The yield will be fair, but not as heavy as antic- ipated. In the southern portion of the county some farmers commenced to cut their fall wheat last Thursday. Harvesting will be general this week. The yield, it is expected, will on the whole, be the best for years, lrresentations and Address. On Friday evening last Mr. N. Dyer }I.urdon attended the S. 0. E. B. Socie- ty's Lodge here for the last time prev- ious to his departure to Ridgetown. Be- forethe brethren adjourned Bro.Hurdon was made the recipient of a handsome gold headed cane, as a mark of esteem in, which he was held by the members of the Lodge in which he has been an active, working member. Bro. Hurdon was always one c f the foremost to take a hand in anything that was of mutu- al benefit to the order here and his de- parture will be sorely felt. The best wishes here go with him in his new tome. Immediately after adjournment Mr. Hurdon was invited to Hawkshaw's Rotel where a n amber of our citizens were waiting to bear testimony of good feelings and regrets to their fel- low citizen on the eve of his departure to his new home. After a sumptuous repast, that onii landlord Wes. Hawk- shaw knows how to spread, ex -Reeve Dr. Rollins was called to the chair, and addressed the gathering in well chosen remarks and was followed by others who expressed themseves in words of praise of Mr. Hurdon as a fellow citi zen and regretted his departure. Be- fore the gathering adjourned Mr. C. H. Sanders, of the ADVOCATE, presented Mn. Hurdon, on behalf of the town a beautiful sofa, accompanLd by a nicely worded address which spears for itself, The following is the address: Exeter July x3th, 1394. To N, DYER HURDON, EsQ, Manacer of the dolson's Bank DEAR Ma. HURDON.—We have just Learned that in a very short time, possibly in a few days, you will leave Exeter. So suddenly and so unexpectedly has the word come upon us, we feel shocked and over- whelmed. You have been amongst us for the past ten years, and during that time many of us have been intimately associated with you in the various walks of life, Pur - mit us now to say and to testify that we have known nothing but good of you. So- cially you haye endeared yourself to every man, woman and chid in Exeter. Your courteous and winning personality has found a place in our hearts, which neither time, "distance nor circumstances will ever obliter- ate. Some of us who (gamed the inner circle midst the multitute of your friends, will only realize our loss after you have gone. In work appertaining to the church, in the eyery day business affairs of the village, in the matters of legitimate sport, in every- thing tending to the moral advancement and improvement of our citizens, yon sir, have rendered us seraice never to be for- gotton. Our business relations with you haye been of the most pleasant and satisfactory character, and we hear testimony to the honesty and integrity with which you man- aged the affairs of your bank, and the court- esy and consideration at all times shown by you to your customers and patrons. Realiz- ing that you must leave us, we feel the part. ing less keenly, when we are informed that you go no farther away than Ridgetown. We will likely havt: the pleasure and privi- lege of seeing you frequently while you are stationed there. We are pleased to learn that you go forth to promotion and greater prosperity. We commend you to all good people where you may go, We include your estimable and goodly lady Mrs. Hur- don and the different members of your fam ily in our wishes for welfare and success, am may God ever protect and bless you and yours. And now Mr. Burdon we feel that it Would be but a fitting and proper thing on such an occassion as this to present to you by way of a tangible token or pledge of our friendship and regard for you something which though intrinsically of little value, may serve to remind you of Exeter and your friends here. Accept therefore in the spirit in which it is given this sofa, and when located in your new home occasionally be Cleated and let your thoughts run back to ns to the many happy events otyour life in Exeter. We are yours sincerely and faithfully, (Signed) 11,1crfARD Prevail) & Soli, DR, RbLLINSi JosEPl•I ConnOtI ICf4 CARLING lditos., ANN i rraV,,r1 V0 °TREAS. J. Cobblediek lags been making some big sales in binding twine the „past week. The Samwell block is being given a new coat of paint, which adds much to its appearance. Many were the compliments paid our band on their stylish appear- ance at Parkhill, on Thursday last. Their style of playing was no second ary consideration either. While the Orangemen's procession at Parkhill was marching into the grove where the speeches took place, onof their e e i drums come in contact with large Brusly and made a good size hole in one end of it, This was about the only accident of the day. A great reduction in rates for ocean travel has just been made. The cost from New York to any port in England Ireland or Scotland is now only $10., return fare $25. For full particulars call on Capt. Geo. IZernp, steamship ticket agent, see his ad. in another col- umn. An old band boy was heard to say that he "never took part in a celebra- tion or tournament, were such intimacy and good feeling existed between two bands as -there was between the Exeter and Forest bands at Parkhill last Thursday." Thus should it be. The Forest "boys" are right jolly good fel- lows. Rev. Hunt ^ deli.vered a sermon on Sunday rrtorning last, that would have boa considered a master piece in any Of the largest. city churches. Between 1 and 2 o'clock Wednesday morning, a very heayy rain storm passed' over this vicinity accompanied by terrific claps of thunder. We have not beard. of any damage being done. Clinton New Era:—Mr. Samuel Hilt of town, well known as an ardenl friend of the • Salvation, army, has shown his sympathy and good will to wards it iu a most practical manner, having just deeded oyer to the Army Toronto property worth $10,000. The beautiful grounds belonging to Mr. Robert. Lang,.Exetor: north, was on Tuesday evening the scene of a very pleasant garden social. The affair was, under the auspices • of the Presbyterian Ladies' aid and was a success throughout. The band ren- dered a musical program in their usu- al good style. Proceeds amounted to $10,25. There was a boy who was sent out by his father to sell some potatoes. He carried the bag around all day without a sale, and on reaching home at night, threw it down with the surly cxclama tion: "Nobody that I met asked me for potatoes. One fellow wanted to know what I had in my bag, and I told him it was none of his darned business." . Do You Know? How much you can save on ev- ery dollar you spend by doing all your dealing at the Big Bankrupt St ore. You Can Save At the very least 10 to 15 per cent. If you want proof posi- tive come and try. J. A. STEWART, These are dog days, they began July 2nd and will end August llth. D. Spicer, is busy ,giving the Fanson block a fresh coat of paint, improving appearance of the premises thereby. We are sorry to learn of the severe illness of Mr. Thomas Trivitt, who has been confined to his bed for:some time. Mr. Phil. Rowcliffe sold his farm, of 50 acres, con. 5, Ushorne, on Monday to Mr. John Prsut. Consideration $2,- 200. Mr. L. Hardy has a gang of men at work in the station yard, doing the frame work for a new bridge which is to be built near Quinton's, Usborne. John Whitlock, mason, in the employ of John Evans, was overcome by the heat Tuesday while working on Mr. Pollock's new house. He was obliged to quit work. Olive, daughter of Mr. John T. Westcott, while playing on the railway track, Monday, accidentally fell into one of the culverts on Huron street,and broke her arm near the elbow. Mr. Thos. Snell, Huron st., lost a val- uable milch cow by death on Monday night. It is supposed that she died from the effects of poison. This is the second cow Mr. Snell has lost in a short time. A valuable cow belonging to Mr, Sidney Snell, Loudon Road, was killed by lightning• while pasturing in the field early Tuesday morning. When discovered every particle of hair was burned off her. She was insured to half her value. A Cleveland paper says a delegation of Endeavors from Canada appeared at the front entrance of the Old Stone Church Friday morning carrying their flag, which is red in color and adorned with the Union Jack in one corner. The flag did not suit the taste of a special constable, who accosted the leader and informed him in no courteous tone that carrying the red flag was not permit- ted in this country. The leader of the party tried to explain, but his explan• ation wa$not heeded, and he was par- emptorily ordered to take down the flag. To avoid trouble the banner was low, red and placed in the pocket of one of the party. Complaints are frequently heaid of the custon that prevails in many busi- ness places where young women are employed of compelling them to remain on their feet all day, The' evil is a serious one, and often the result is great and permanent injury to the girls and young women. ,.n retail shops, especially where the work is of a a most trying nature, it would surely be a humane act, and one easy of ac- complishment, to provide seats behind the counters or in some secluded part of the store where the female employes could enjoy a few minutes' rest in tim- es when their employments would al- low it. Some of the city stores allow their employes to sit down when busi- ness is slaek, but it is against the rule in others, and very few have seats pro- vided for the young women,The subject has' frequently been discussed and so high an authority as the "Lancet" has pointed out the serious and permanent injury that even a strong young wont, an 15 liable to if kept in a standing po- sition for eight or ten hours a day. Mr. John Spackman, manager of the Grand Bend park, is having a very busy season this year. All his cottages are filled and there are numerous ap- plicants for more. Nq less than sixty took dinner at the Grtand Bend hotel on Tuesday. On Tuesday evening last while Mr. R. B..Marsland was taking part in a friendly game of lawn' tennis at the Trivitt Memorial Rectory, he accident- ly wrenched his leg very severely and is now unable to walk, We trust Inc will soon be able to attend to his duties. An exchange tells how a farmer tried a new way of catching rats. He took a keg and filled it half full of water and placed cotton seed in the water which floated on the surface. He then sprinkled meal on the cotton seed and placed the keg in the barn. Next morning he emptied his keg of over 100 drowned rats, An Excellent Nominee. The name of Rev. Bro. J. W. Hod' gins, of Seaforth, the Rural Dean of Huron, is frequently mentioned by lead- ing craftsmen in Western Ontario for the position of Grand Chaplain of the Grard Lodge of Masons. The office is held this year by Bro. Betts, of Brock- ville; two years since Bro. Fairlie, of Clinton filled the position, and now it is felt that a Western clergyman should receive the honor. Few are better entitled to the distinction than W. Bro. (Rev.) J. W. Hodgins. Shipments. The Exeter Mining Co. shipped three carloads of flour to eastern provinces this week.—The Bob* Produce Co. shipped a carload egg's to Montreal this week:—Mr. John Willis shipped three carloads export cattle to Mont real on.

The sad news of the death of Mr. B. Aubry, the famous horse buyer, will be learned with exceedingly deep regret by his many friends here and more partic- ularly by the farming community. He was taken suddenly ill a short time a_o with a severe attack of iuflamma tion on the lungs and after four days of intense suffering succumbed to its fatal effects, Mr. Aubry has for many years made Exeter his principal mar- ket, and during that time purchased a vast number of good horses. He was a buyer of no meati repute and his death will be keenly felt indeed by this community. Presbytery of illnr:on. This Presbytery held its regular meeting at Brucefie]d on Tuesday, the 10th inst.

Methodist church, Stratford, formerly of Clinton, preach ed a sermon on sports in his own pul pit on a Sunday and in the course of his remarks took oecasion to assail Sunday bicycling, He would not say that bicycles should not be ridden on Sunday. It was not wrong for one to take a stroll on Sunday or a drive, and if a cyclist took a short jaunt in the same way as ho took a stroll on Sun day he would not object. But the young men would go off forty or fifty miles, remain all day, and sometimes not returning till morning, neglecting all Sunday services, and degrading :he grandest and most innocent of all sports, He denounced betting in the strongest terms, declaring that the practice of gambling was fast bring- ing many estimable sports into disrrc- pute. Mm,y'ho bet were._tllieves, and the practice of gambling had the effect of making men hard hearted and mer- cenary.
