The very catchy weather of the
past few weeks makes it very difficult
for the farmers to harvest their hay
crop.
Owing to the wet weather on Wed-

taken part in a game at Clinton, did
not go.
Mr. Chas. Bit•ney, who has been off

Miss Ilene Farmer gave a pleasant
birthday party to a number of her
little associates and girl friends on
Monday. After spending a pleasant
hour at her beatiful home Mr. Farm-

country for a long drive much to the
pleasure and merriment of the little
gu seta.
In a trolley collision in London Fri-
day evening Private Harry M. Wood,

and is a sister of Dr. C. Lutz.
Mr. W. J. O'Brien, who has had
charge of the Commercial Department
of the Public School here, has handed
his resignation to the trustees of the

Mr. Thos. finale. the tip -to -date
gardener. of Elimville, favored the

new potatoes, peas and English beans,
consequently we have been its clover.
The potatoes are of gond size. measur-

and the donor tells iis he has been en-
joying beans and teas since the 27th
of June. Mr. Simile remembers us
every year and it is needless to say
the kindness is appreciated.
A recent regulation issued by the
postal department is worth bearing in
mind by those having boxes. As all
postmasters are liable to make mis-
takes in putting mail matter into the
boxes, this new regulation requires
people to examine their mail before
leaving the office. and should they
find a piece not addressed to there they
trust, returnit at once or be Retie to it
fine of $22X). That it is the fault of
the postmaster makes no difference.

The chartered Banks of Canada held

hettinn of their shares, Directors of

we referred to him as being a dental

the supplementary course, he will be
well fitted for his chosen profession.
Mrs. Fowell, who is occupying her
summer cottage at Grand Heed, met
with a very painful and disagreeable
accident on Wednesday of last week.
It appears she was attending to her
household duties when in some man-
ner she fell into the cellar, a distance
of several feet, receiving a severe
shock and sustaining many bodily in-
juries. Medical aid was summoned
and although Mrs. Fowell Buffeted a
severe shaking up she is reported to be
recovering nicely.
Hicks' prognostications of excessive
rainfalls, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, have certainly been verified
in this section. For the past ten days
we have had little else than rain. On
Saturday half -a -dozen heavy showers
fell, and each day has seen more or
less rain, generally snore. The wet
weather has been veru detrimental to
farming operations. It is impossible
to do any haying. Several farmers
have cut hay hut are unable to draw
it, while many have abstained from
cutting in the trope of having more
favorable weather.
Some day there is going to he a ter-
rible revolt in this country against the
boiled shirt. We are not going to
wear boards on our bosoms surmount-
ed by picket fences when the laundry
man feels cross and cuts a saw edge
on our collars. Canadian manhood is
going to rise in its might some day
and carefully drop the starched shirt
over in the next lot where the tin cans
are. To -day we haven't the nerve to
do it. We are under the impression
of social and commercial propriety to
such an extent that we do not date to
rise and proclaim our freedom in the
name of liberty of person, and wear
soft shirts and flowing collars. The
man who wears a starched beard on
his bosom and asheet iron ring around
his neck will be known for the con-
ceited and artificial ass that ho really
is.
warder Party.
Notwithstanding a clouded sky and
threatening rain the Garden Party
held on the rectory lawn of the Trivitt
Memorial church on Tuesday night,
was a success, and the ladies, under
whose auspices it was held, have every
reason to feel elated. The grounds
were decorated with Chinese lanterns,
and over -spread with tablesand chairs.
Refreshments, including ice cream and
other delicacies, were served, and the
people seemed to enjoy themselves.
The presence of the Exeter Band serv-
ed to increase the enjoyment of all.
The selections they played were couch

On Thursday morning (Civic Holi-
day) a half dozen of Exeter's quoiters
and a few of their friends drove to
Seaforth, where in the afternoon they
engaged in a friendly game with the
quoit club of that. town. The day was
an exceedingly warm one, the exces-
sive heat and glare of the sun being
detrimental to good quoit pitching.
Thirty-one point games were played
by each pair of men, with the result
that three Exeter Wren won over their
opponents, while three fieatforth erten
won over their opponent!). In the
matter of individual wins the game
was it tie, but in points Seaforth had a

Mas alc Bxcanior.
Tired, but thoroughly happy, were
the excursionists who returned from
the outing to Goderich, given under
Masonic auspices, Thursday night last.
Two engines. to which were attached
ten coaches, filled with well-dressed
people,were picked up along the line of
the L., H. & B. and whirled away in
the early morn to spend the day in
one of the prettiest and most popular
border towns on Lake Huron. All
seemed bent on a good time and town,
village and farm are left behind, lost
to view. Shortly after nine o'clock
the train pulled into Goderich and
soon the people were mingling with
their brethren of the County town.
The residents of the circular town are
a happy, good-natured lot of people,
noted for their hospitality, and other
good qualities, consequently all re-
turned with golden opinions of Goder-
ich as a place for a day's outing --or
even for a longer time. Splendid
weather was experienced and the ar-
rangements made and carried out
were to the satisfaction of all. The
day well spent,the train pulled out for
the homewardourney shortly after
nine o'clock. The train was manned
by Messrs. A. Brown, and W. l)ifen-
baugh as engineers and Mr. Thomas
Higgins, of Stratford, conductor, all
of whom were kind and courteous
and exercised the utmost care and
precaution to avoid accidents and
make it pleasant for all. The
Bowling contest between the Goderich
and Exeter clubs resulted in a victory
for the home team by it narrow Inar-
gin. The Grxlerich Star speaking of
the excursion says: --"Yesterday an
excursion party, about l00 taming, ar-
rived by special from Exeter and stat-
ions along the line between (iodetich
and Lueatt, tinder the auspices of Leh -
