There is more truth than po try,and

store. Yon can't sell us any stale
goods -we have opened wide our eyes;

A very exciting game of foot hall
was played on the Usborne grounds,
on Tuesday evening last between the
Stephen team and a combined team of
Usborne and Exeter, which resulted
in a tie, the score being 1-1. The lack
of justice of Usborne teamin not allow-
ing the visitors the right of having the
more elevated end of the grounds for
the first half, while the sun was shin-
ing, did much to hinder the score of
the Stephenites, a fact which became
evident after half time, when the ball
was repeatedly shot into the Usborne
goal, but by the activity of the "Exet-
er Star" it was not permitted to pass
through.—Com.

hearted, easy-going, he let to -morrow
take care of itself; and the cares of this
world never worried him.

Marriage of Aquilla Sheere,
Below we give an account of the
marriage of Mr. Aquilla Sheere, a for-
mer Exeter boy, and son of Mr. Alfred
Sheere. The newly married couple
spent Sunday here at the home of the
groom's parents. The account was
taken from the St. Thomas Journal,
"The home of Mr. Joseph Hilborn,
was the scene of a quiet wedding
Thursday evening, when his niece, Miss
Maud Saunders, was united in mar-
riage with Aquilla Sheere, a printer of
Sarnia. The bridal couple were as-
sisted by Miss Pearl Reid of Copen-
hagen, and R.Southcott of St.Thornas.
The bridal company entered the par-
lors es the march was being played by
Miss Beatrice and Mr. Malcolm Hil-
born, The bride, who was very he•
comingly attired, was given away by
her mother, After the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. W. O.
McDougall of the. College of the Dis-
ciples, and the hearty congratulations
oftheguests, the company withdrew
to the.dining room and partook of a
dainty wedding breakfast, The gifts
were valuable and serviceable. The
balance of the evening was spent in a
general round of merry -making. Mr.
and Mrs. Sheere will reside in Sarnia."
Doctor Addie J. Holland Wedded
In the presence of only the immedi-
ate relatives of the bride, together
with Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Armstrong
and son, Harold, of St. Marys, on
Wednesday afternoon, July 6th, at
one o'clock, the marriage was cele-
brated of Dr. George E. Wenig, of
Finland, Ohio, and Dr. Addie J. Hol-
land, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Holland, of town. The ceremony took
place at the residence of the bride's
parents, and was performed by Rev.
Wm. Godwin, pastor of Main street
Methodist church. The contracting
parties were unattended except by the
ring bearer, Master Harold Arm-
strong. The bride was beautifully at-
tired in a gown of Champagne Louis-
ine silk with trimmings of Spanish
lace, and carried a bouquet of white
roses. The house decorations were of
roses and smilax. At the •conclusion
of the marriage ceremony the rite of
christening was performed by Rev.
Godwin upon the little ring bearer.
A dainty lunch was then served, after
which the happy couple took the 5
o'clock train for the west. They will
be at home in Kirksville, Mo., after
September 1st. The bride's going -
away gown was of light grey voile
over grey taffetta, and she wore a hat
of burnt straw trimmed with ribbons
of reside green. The Advocate unites
with the bride's many friends in wish-
ing herself and husband a life of felic-
ity and prosperity.
