The spirit has been willing along, but the cash has been short. The total receipts at the Toronto In- dustrial Exhibition were about $66,000. This is $3,000 Less than last year, the decrease being attributable to a falling off in the takings from the grand stand on the various wet days on which no performance was giyen. The attend- ance was larger this year than last. DO YOL-_- Want to take a look through the choicest stock of Tailor-made Jackets in Western Ontario.. . Tito Big Okrllt Store, has trot Stook!

Sorry to lose you Ed." A new paper called the Independent has been started in Parkhill. It is an eight paged paper containing 48 col- umns. '.i he initial number is bright and newsy and a most creditable sheet. The publishers are Karr & Bryant. Port Hope Times: -"The Margaret L. Shephard Company appeared before a slim audience in the Opera House here Thursday evening, in "Tried as by by _sire," the story of Mrs. Shepherd's life. If the story is true, Mrs. Shep- herd should be ashamed of it instead of parading her filthy record for the gra- tification of the vulgar. There can be no excuse for this outrage against pro- priety: for the only moral which this play teaches is that if a woman is bold as well as bad, she can impose success- fully on a certain class of the commun- ity. Mrs. Shephard as an actress is a failure. She possesses no dramatic tal- ent whatever. Her leading man, Mar- tin Chatworth, can only be described as a ridiculous barn-stormer. The play is without a redeeming feature. Any person wbo sits it out will certainly be "tried as by fire." 1 f • t 1Hnister<al Association.

Mr. Bawden had refused a large sum for the dog." -Parkhill Independent. Obituary. One by one our old citizens are pas sing from our midst. In this item we refer to the late Mrs. Elizabeth Tom, be loved mother of Mr. Chas. Tem. The deceased was not an invalid as she has known very Little sickness during her life time, but passed away with the infirmities of old age -being in her 82 year. The deceased was a loving mother, was highly respected in this neighborhood and a consistent mem - ber of James St. Methodist Church. A Celebrated Cilse. It will be recollected by our readers that on the occasion of the last Carling- Elyman election in London a het of $1000 was made between Mr. John E. Richards and Mr. F. T. Trebilcock-the former choosing Carling and the latter Hyman. Mr. Sim Walsh, of the Te cumseh House, was chosen etakeholder. On the result of the election being de- clared Trebilcock notified Mr. Walsh not to pay over the money, and suit was brought for its recovery. Mr. Walsh has figured as the defendant in all the various phases of the matter, it having gone through all the courts till it finally reached the Supreme Court. The judgment given Tuesday is to the effect that Trebilcock is not entitled to recover, and judgment is for the defendant, with costs on the plaintiff (Trebilcock.) Incendiary Attempt. Some time between Sunday night and Tuesday some fiendish person or persons gained admittance into the basement of the Main Street Methodist church through the back window and made a most dastardly attempt to fire the building. They procured two lamps which were in the church and after emptying their contents over the floor, immediately under the choir place, set fire to it, but strange to say it went out in some mysterious way before much damage was done. Some advance the theory that there was not sufficient draft to feed the flames, but this can hardly be reasonable as the fire bad made considerable headway, the floor being burned to some depth, while the wainscoting was badly charred to the very top and the wall above shows signs of a severe scorching,. The only logical reason we can set forth for its going out is that one of the lamps which was smashed in atoms had been placed with some oil in it close to the fire and became heated, which caused an explosion, the con, cussion blowing out the blaze. No reason can be assigned for the devilish deed and it is to be hoped the fiend will be brought to justice and put behind the bars, JOHNSTON'S ONE WEEK 0 1' BARGAIN DAYS 1 Some of our spec- ial reductions. commencing on SATV RDAY A n d continuing for one week, we will give you goods at the fol- lowing prices, viz: 25•cent men's sox, now 2 pr for $ .25 30 cent ladies' wool hose........ .20 40 -cent ribbed cashmere hose (5 dozen only) ........ .25 (Job line,) 10 pieces 60 -cent dress goods at .25 $10 men's frieze overcoats (ulsters) 7.50 12 do do do do 8.00 5 do do do 3.50 6 do tweeddo 4.50 i 5 do suits 3.50 8 do do Scotch tweed5.00 4.50 Ladies' mantles, this week 2.95 5.00 do do do 3.50 7.00 do do do 5.00 1.50 Ladies' dongolabutton'shoes 1.25 400 Men's Milwaukee grain boot 3.00 .40 -cent tweed .........20 .60 cent tweed .45 100 do .?8 4.50 black worsted 2.00 $10 tweed rubber coats.... . 6.50 75 cent overalls, (cottonade)..... .50 Genuine bargains in Groceries G. G. JOJJtSJON, Exeter. Our Clubbing' Offer. The season is now approaching when you should select and arrange for a supply of reading for the coming year. We club with all the city weeklies and can give you very cheap reading, Puritans. Many changes and improvements mark the life of that little toilet neces sary, yclept Pin. From the heavy pin of early days made of iron wire, badly pointed, with its clumsy ill-shapen head and depending• for its strength solely on its weight, until the introduction of the Puritan Pin, the change might be called an evolution, so steady and grad ual was it, but the Puritan being so immeasurably superior to any pin prev- iously manufactured, formed the first noticeable gap, having so to speak, dis- tanced all competitors. Being made of the hardest brass wire tempered to give it stiffness with strength, pointed in oil, which gives it penetrating powers heretofore possessed only by steel need- les, the Puritan Pin wins wins its way wherever offered for sale. In the United States. where it is best known, it controls the pin trade, and though just introduced into Canada within the past six months, its success has been phenomenal, and no retailer who stud ies his customers interest now thinks his stock complete without Puritan Pins. Death of lir. A. W. Gay. The following is from the Guelph Herald of Sept. 28th and refers to the death of Mr. Andrew Gay, well known to many people of Exeter, he haying served considerable time with Mr. Jas. Pickard as book-keeper: "After a yery long illness of Addison's disease of the kidneys, Mr. Andrew W. Gay died Wednesday evening at his residence on Woolwich street. Although his death was not unexpected the end was quite sudden. He was born in Montreal and came to Ontario when quite a young Man and was connected with Mr. Chas. Whitlaw, of Paris, in the milling busi- ness. He was manager of the old mill on whose site Mr. James Goldie's in- dustry now stands. When the struc- ture was destroyed by fire Mr. Gay Went into partnership with Mr• White- law and managed the mill in Elora, After severing his connection with Mr. Whitelaw he successfully conducted a mill for Mr. Ogleby, of Goderich, and served a long time with Mr. Pickard of Exeter, as book-keeper. His health failing he abandoned active work, and for some years has lived a retired Life. Deceased wa,s a most kindly and un- pretentious gentleman, reserved iii his manner, yet very sociable with his in- timate friends,and exceedingly thought- ful and affectionate in his family rela- tions. He leaves a widow and five children -one son, Mr. Wm. Gay, of McElderry & McCrei's, and four daugh- ters, Rose, Maggie, Lillie and Minnie, all, at home." Stoll .11111.
