It was a monster. A large number of Sons of England and friends picnieed at Grand, Bend, en Monday last. They report of having spent a pleasant time. Burtch Uncle' om's Cabin Company carry one of the finest bands on • the road. All who enjoy good. ` music should hear it at Exeter on August 8th at4pan. The house occupied by Mrs. White on Main street, has been moved some 12 or 15 feet nearer Weekes' marble works, owing to the close proximity of the new mill. The flax crop is •very heavy this year and the owners of flax mills are well pleased in consequence. Mr. Switzer is bustling and has a large gang at work. Florence Ockerman, recognized as the greatest Topsy the world has ever known. is with Burtch's Big Uncle Tom's Cabin Show, which exhibits in Exeter on Tuesday, August Sth, at 8 p.m. Workmen are busily engaged in laying a magnificent piece of sidewalk infront of A. Q. Bokier's new estab- lishment. It is an artificial granite stone manufactured and patented by A. Graham, London, Ont. Last Saturday or Sunday night some unknown person or persons gained entrance to A, Q. Bobier's estab- lishment by breaking a pane cf glass in the rear of the building and remov- ed several pounds of butter. The Masonic Excursion on Tuesday, August Sth, to Sarnia and Port Huron promises to be the outing of the season Round trip tickets, 95 cts.—good to re turn the following day. This is an exceptionally cheap ride. Don't forget to take it in. Don't confound Burteh's Company with other so called Uncle Tom's Cabin companies, that attempt to play the piece. This is the only company that has the authority to legally produce it in America. Some unscrupulous per- sons have produced it without author- ity and a poor company, thereby giv- ing a poor performance. This company carry 30 peop'e and will give one corn plete performance in Exeter, on Tues day, August 8th, commencing at 8 p. m The machinery in the new mill will be started to -day. A large amount of wheat has been placed in the store room for gristing purpcses, which means that "well begun is half done." A first-class miller wants first-class machinery to work with, and Rollins & Williams' mill will not be found want ing in this respect. The first lot of wheat was brought in by C. F. Walper of Stephen, amounting to 500 bushels. The second lot amounted to about 1000 bushels, brought in by Louis Kroft, Goshen Line, Stephen. Some time after 11 o'clock Sunday. night last, somebody's cow contrived to open Mr. Sam Gidlev's front gate and followed by a number of other de- structive bovines, held apicnic in his vegetable garden. The garden has been under Master Bert's special care this year, and from the size of some to- matoes lying on the ground it is seen that he has done some good work. Cab- bage, lettuce, reddish in fact all his summer's work was destroyed in a few short hours. Mr. Nelson happened along about five o'clock Monday morn- ing and drove the cows out. We would be mostemnhatically in fayor of a by- law making it illegal to allow cows to run our streets at night. It is bad en ough to put up with them in the day- time. The Zurich correspondent to Tunes in last week's issue, says, "The editor of the Exeter ADVOCATE last week tried to sling dirt at an inoffensive family who never did him any harm." The editor alluded to was never guilty of slinging "dirt." We do not know of any "inoffensive family" at whom we could "sling dirt" in Zurich. But if our remarks were in the least pointed, and the "nap fits" the pretentious scribe, we would say wear it by all means. When the editor was a "Zur- ich boy" he knew the "youth" (Horace Hardy as a clever, intelligent school boy—quite a little gentleman- in ap-• pearance We would be very sorry to hear that he has not grasped the edu- cational opportunities of his boyhood days. If the worthy scribe is man en- ough to answer above his signature we will probably notice him,.otherwise his scurreluous insinuations will be treated with contempt.

It was the best ,dramatization of this celebrated 'play. ever seen in Brockville, and the spec- ialties were of a high order. This combination could not do otherwise than immensely ;please the large .aud- ience in attendance. Tho reader is so thoroughly conversant with the piece, that any mention would be needless repitition, yet credit must be given to those enacting the roles as having as- sisted in a grand production. Of the specialties, the dancing of Topsy was a fine exhibition of suppleness and dexterity. ' This the audience was not slow appreciating. The natural melte dy of the "Magnolia Quartette", in their Southern songs and choruses, es- pecially the rendering of "Swanee River," the overtures of the orchestra and the mandoline students Were eq- ually entertaining in the extreme.

JOHNSTON! .1IcTavish's Old Stand, An observant drummer says he can readily tell who is the boss on the farms he passes, the farmer or his wife. If a farm has a large barn and a small house, the man is boss; but when there is a fine house and a dilipated barn you may know that the woman has her own way. Where there is a new house and a good barn, it may be tak- en for granted the man and woman are about equal in authority. Boy Wanted A good smart boy wanted to learn Minting. Apply at this office.
