The ladies of the colnmonitydisplay.'ed': the usual amount of interest' in the hats and turned out in large notal e.•s to examine and admire the different dis • ys la the results displays, , esu is of the- creative mind t t s skilled k lied x's bnof1 e the heat g milliners and theil:assistants, It waas. iiupfoss ihle to decide from the many and varied reports given us by the lardy visitors where the: best array was to be seen so we perforce needs visit, them ourselves and that is' where the trouble began. We were up against a difficulty which we had anticipated. but had not fully realized. Every.-' whet e we found a variety of shapes,,. a profusion of. beautiful colors, and 'a delightful mixture a of flowers, laces, ribbons. and feathers, the whole ar- ranged with good taste both,as tt5 pe,r-' titular creations and general disprrty. While in all cases prorrlinent features were sornewhat simiIae no two hats appeared to be much alike, The ladies. were kindness itself in their endeavors to enlighten our masculine mind as to the particular beauty of` shape, color, etc., yet it was with difficulty that we e eve able to grasp even vaguely the many artistic bean ties peculier•1y fats- cinating to the fair sex. However we did eliminate front the whole a .few of the following facts: The materials: in the bats were mostly of white or very light colors, fine Milans,- Le horusr Jaavas and Pauamas being favorites. The sailor is the favorite ehsrpee They are all tilted high at the back. with the greater part of the trimming tin dertreath the brim. Peorninent in the colursare found rose and pink, while. apple green, raspberry tones, blues, reside green, light grey and violet are nlucb in evidence. Not much black is noticed. The trimmings are of flowers,' laces, ribbons, ostrich feathers, wings, quills end egrets, the flowers predorn mating. Every sort of flower is shown in large quantities, the main thought being to secure harmonious blending. They comprise: mss roses, forget -me- ets, heliotrope, cowslips, June roses, ilees,hawthorn, violets,2noss and maid- en hair ferns. It has been remarked. efore and the statement cannot be. too often repeated that in no town of equal size can be found as good an ex- Mbit as is made in Exeter. The spring rxiillinery openings this year are a cor xobaration of this staitement as ladies ho hadvisited other places testified o the excellence auds❑periority of the how here.That being the case there s only, one place in which to buy your millinery -that is: Exeter.

Oolliugwood, Simcoe street, and removed froth its midst their little daughter, Annie Maly, at the youthful age of 14 years, 2 months and 1 days. For seyeral months she has been afflicted with sugaxr diabetes, and while at tithes the little sufferer was apparently enjoying the best of health; which in characteristic of the troutea tlxe ravages of the disease were makingslow but fatal progress and the end came on Tuesday morning last, Little' Annie will be•much missed by her schoolmates and comrades but the home. eircle will miss her most. The bereaved family will hare the sym- pathy of all in their sad affliction. The funeral takes place to -day (Thurs- day) at 1.30 o'clock to the Fairfield cemetery. NOXIOUS WEEDS. Mr. J. G. Jones has just received rom the Experimental farm between hirty and forty dried samples of the xllost dreaded noxious weeds and their Beds that are so fast gaining ground hroughout Canada. These samples have been specially prepared at the equest of Mr. Jones who will keep kern on exhibition at his store for the benefit of farmers who wish to famili- rize themselves with those unwel- ome species that they may eradicate hem when discovered. Each card on which a sample is attached gives a de- St and how many seeds each ealthy plant will produce, sorne caching Into many thousands. This uestion of dealing with weeds is one hat is pressing itself upon all who ave regard foreithe' a the appearance PP ace rproductiveness of their farms.' They re a great hindrance to a farmer's uccess, occupying space and using up Pi food. The investigation that as been carried on under the depart- rxrent at Ottawa for the last two years as beets a revelation to Many.. Sam- eslof Red Glover have been found to ontain over 40,000 weed seeds per ound, Alsike 49,000 and Titnothy over 0,000 and as many as sixteen different arieties. This should open the eyes f farmers and make them more .care - a1 in the selection of clover and grass sed. Mr, Jones is to be commended securing these samples that others ay profit thereby.

Jones has just received rom the Experimental farm between hirty and forty dried samples of the xllost dreaded noxious weeds and their Beds that are so fast gaining ground hroughout Canada. These samples have been specially prepared at the equest of Mr. Jones who will keep kern on exhibition at his store for the benefit of farmers who wish to famili- rize themselves with those unwel- ome species that they may eradicate hem when discovered. Each card on which a sample is attached gives a de- St and how many seeds each ealthy plant will produce, sorne caching Into many thousands. This uestion of dealing with weeds is one hat is pressing itself upon all who ave regard foreithe' a the appearance PP ace rproductiveness of their farms.' They re a great hindrance to a farmer's uccess, occupying space and using up Pi food. The investigation that as been carried on under the depart- rxrent at Ottawa for the last two years as beets a revelation to Many.. Sam- eslof Red Glover have been found to ontain over 40,000 weed seeds per ound, Alsike 49,000 and Titnothy over 0,000 and as many as sixteen different arieties. This should open the eyes f farmers and make them more .care - a1 in the selection of clover and grass sed. Mr, Jones is to be commended securing these samples that others ay profit thereby.
