We are in receipt of an anonymous communication from Crediton making offensive insinuations on a certain private character in that town. As communications of this kind can serve no good purposes, public or private, we decline to, publish the like.

In a general sense the outlook for fruit and garden vegetables is exceed- ingly good, in this part of the country. Most of the small fruits will be extreme- ly common and good, if the weather does not change sharply for the worse. Market gardners could not ask better conditions than have existed so far, and if the unusual warmth and mois- ture continue the early vegetables will be wonderfully abundant long before the usual time. It means much to people, to ha ye food of the best and most healthful kind so abundant and excellent in quality, and the condition of the orchards and gardens is one of the pleasantest of the season's signs of promise.

Knight and Farmer Brod, The . sixth death occurred at the House of Refuge on Friday last, when Wm. Rae, of Ashfield, who has been in poor health for some time, passed away at the age of 67 years. Hecatite to the House last November, He was an I piscopalian, and Rev. Mr. Parke per- formed the last sad rites fol' him on Saturday, the remains • being interred in the plot selected for the purpose, on the farm. A clergyman ofListowel relates an incident which happened lately, as an illustration of the linguistic difficulty and not of irreverence. Believing it his duty to look after the heathen at home as well as abroad, he called at the Chinese laundry there and asked Chong Lee if he knew anything of the Chris. tian God, After consulting his books, Chong innocently replied; • "Not know; he no get no washee here." A foolish idea to entertain is that a stranger in a distant city will deal more fairly and honestly with one than a business man and neighbor can or will do, Competition is keen, to day in the villages and towns throughout the province and as a consequence goods are cut down to the lowest possible point, leaving little or in many cases no margin to the merchant. Do not be taken in by catalogues sent out by city firms, Perhaps in a moment`of weak- ness you will find yourself ordering articles you can do without. Be loyal to local institutions and in thee long run you will be the gainer. ° Readers of the ADVOCATE who do not read the adyertisements, if there are any such, miss most of the good things that are in the paper. To keep posted, to keep up with the times, a man must take a certain amount of papers and he must read the advertis- ing columns of those papers. You may pick up your paper and run your eye along the local columns and maybe you will find something you` didn't know before and maybe you won't, but if you run your eye over the ad- vertising columns you are sure to find something you didn't know before. There are as many different people's ideas as there are different advertisers in the paper, and some of them will tell you something you didn't" know. All people are continually in 'n'eed to buy something; reading the advertise- ments will show you who has got the very article you want, and they want to sell it. The Snowflake Correspondent of the Manitou Mercury thus refers to the re- moval of Mr. and Mrs. S. Oke to Mor- den. "Seventeen years ago Mr. and Mrs Oke left their old home in Exeter, Ont., and came direct to 1-9, being amongst the first settlers. In fact their house was the first one erected, Mrs, Oke being the first lady to take up housekeeping in this township and as- sume the arduous duties of pioneer life, and when we review those days with their attendant hardships it required strong will power upon the part of the ladies, and especially those who had left comfortable homes in the east, to overcome the difficulties that continu- ally present themselves. Their re- moval will create a vacancy ,in the church and social circles that will not be easily filled, as Mr. Oke occupied an official position in the church and Mrs Oke being an indefatigable worker in church and Sabbath School, besides the aid cheerfully given by the other mem- bers of the family. In conclusion we trust that many rich blessings will fol- low them to their new home and if any passing shadow (which we hope not) should obscure the needed light ?,long life's pathway that they will be consoled as we all should by keeping in mind, that after all these earthly billows have ceased to beat tempestuously upon our earthly homes, there is a home of corn plete rest above. A surprise party numbering over forty, neighbors and friends, met at their residence last Wed- nesday evening to, bid them farewell upon the eve of their leaving for Mor- den. A most enjoyable evening was spent in music and song and social converse, and a mbst pleasing= feature in addition to those mentioned was the presentation of a beautiful mantle clock of the latest design to Mr. and Mrs, Oke, accompanied by a practical address."

Hitherto the matter has been left in the hands of local officers and few convictions have resulted. The appointment of a division registrar is also to be made, who shall make re- turns of all births, marriages and deaths twice a year. Every physician is now required to report the death to•the med ical health officer of the town or•district before giving a death certificate. The latter 'shall make investigations and report to the division registrar who will in turn, without charge, issue 'a permit to bury the deceased. The law applies to all deaths and put heavy penalties on any undertaker, pall bear- er, clergyman or grave digger who permits a burial without a :certificate from the division registrar. Any doc- tor found to have furnished a false re- port as to the causes of death is sub- ject to a $50 fine and discipline by the medical council. Personal Mention. F. W. Farncombe, P. L.
