ABSCONDED. -00 Sunday, evening last one -of our youn5 men left the village for uncle Sam's domains. Rumor was afloat early on Monday mo#ning that the young men bad fied for parts unknown, as he had procured a rig from Christie's livery and driven south. Some of our merchant tailors, to whom he wee indebted, telegraphed all along the Grand Trunk and he was captured at Forest, on a freight train, arid brought baqk to thisplace on Tuesday te suffer the penalty of the law. THE MUNICIPAL ree OP WAR. -We are having oneof the hottest naunicipal contests - here this peer that we have had for years. The candidates for the Reeveship are Dr. Rollins, the present Reeve, and ,Mr. Wm. Bawden. Mr. W. G. Bissett, .the present Deputy, is being opposed by Mr. Hugh Spackman, his opponent of last year. Messrs. T. B. Carling, D. A. ROM and Ed. Christie are the present councillors and are again candidates, with the addition of Mr. Dick- son and Mr., J. P. Clarke. The contest for the Reeveship will be a very dose one, and it would not be safe to bet which way it will go. Mr. Spackman was defeated by Mr. Biasett last year by 46 votes, and some pre- dict the majority against him will be larger this time. The present councillors will likely be re-elected. Most of the candidates are making 'a vigoroue personal canvas, and there is lots of fun promised for Monday and a great jubilation for Monday night, no, matter who wins. PERSONALS. -Mr. Wm.

OBITUARY. --It is with sorrowful regret that we have to record the death of one of our young men, in the person of Wesley James Creech, son of Wm. and Annie Creech, welch took place on Saturday after- noon, the 26th ult., at the early age of 18 years, 2 months and 12 days. He was taken seriously ill on the 9th of December last and died on the date above mentioned, of a dis- ease of the bowels. During hie severe ill- ness he suffered excruciating pain, until death relieved him of his terrible sufferings. He was a quiet, industrious and very intel- ligent young man. He at one time learned the telegraph operating with Mr. Samuel Sanders, and was cashier for Mr. James Pickard for some months. He was book- keeper and cashier for Mr. Richard Pickard & Son up to the time of his illness. He was highly respected by his employers and all those who bad the pleasure of his acquaint- ance. The funeral took place from his late reaidence on Tuesday afternoon last to the Exeter cemetery. On the coffin was a beautiful wreath, bearing the words, `` Our Comrade," which was presented by his com- panions, they acting as pall -bearers. The funeral was conducted by Rev. A. L. Rus- sel, pastor of the James street church, at the house and grave. The funeral cortege was large, showing the high esteem in which he was held. The parents and remain- ing family have the sympathy of the whole village in this their sad hour of trouble. All that medical skill could do was done to re- store the deceased, but to no avail. He bore his severe illness with Christian forti- tude, and died traiting in the hope of a lov- ing Savior. Dearest 'Wesley, you have left us, And our loss wg deeply feel; But 'tis God that has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. E HURON EXPOSITOR. a Anwar taken at the door.

CHRISTMAS REE. -rhe annual Christmas Tree entertain ent held in connection with Carmel Presby rian church, on Christmas Eve, was very argely attended, the spac- ious church bei g filled to the doors, and that despite th very unfavorable state of the weather an roads. A lengthy and in- teresting progr mme was carried out by the children, and that in a manner highly creditable to t emselves and their teacher, the Rev. J. S. enderson, assisted by Mr. Wren. All pr sent were delighted with the way in which he children, from the very youngest, ren Rred their recitations and sang their songs, both as duetts and chor- uses. The ki • dergarten selections showed how carefully d well the children had been trained.- t the cloee of the programme the Rev. J. S. ienderson, the pastor, called upon Masters 1 ossie McPherson and Willie Bonthron to co e forward, and at the same time requested Mr. Robert McLaren, j Sr., to come to the- ront. Mr. Henderson then addressed Mr. cLaren in the name of the Sabbath School assuring him how highly the Sabbath Sb ool bacl appreciated his ser- vicps as Super ntendent for many years. That now, afte long, efficient and faithful service he had een fit to retire for the pres- ent and Mr. G. J. Sutherland had been ap- pointed as hi successor. The school, would not forge the deep interest he had always shown i the work and hoped he would continue his interest in the school, and that as a mark of their esteem for him, they d sired him to accept the easy arm chair whic Masters Willie- Bonthron and Rossie McP erson now brought forward. Mr.'Hend.erson, ontinuing his addr,ess,hoped that Mr McLare would be long spared to enjoy the icomfo t it afforded, and that the school would be still favored with his pre- seuce. Mr. M Laren though completely taken by Surpris made a very feeling and suitable reply, a swing the school that he highly appreciat d their unexpected, hand- some present, an that he looked back with pleasure to the ears he had spent with them and hope that his successor would find as much ple sure in the work as he had done. After t e presentation had been made the attention of the echoel was th drawn to the twe beautiful Christmas Tre laden with presents. Before they had be stripped every scholar was the recipient one or more presents. The trees were al made the mediums for many handsome pr sents from frOnds to friends.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, -By quest of a large number of Electors, I have been vited to be- come a candidate for the officeof Dep y -Reeve for 1892, and having consented to what I ;weeder the call of duty, 1 hereby solicit your supra in the coming contest, and shoula I merit your , confidence by being elected, I w 111 endeavor to serve you, as heretofore, with energy ancrability. Yours Respectfully, GEORGE E. HENDERSON. To Seaforth 'Ratepayers: LADIEe AND GENTLEMEN, ---I am happy to ac- knowledge the nomination to the position of Deputy - Reeve of our town, and thank my mover and secon- der. I also desire to state that I am again in the field, and will serve you to the beet of my ability, if elected. Yours Faithfully, E. C. COLEMAN. To the Electors of the Municipality of the Township of Tuckersmith. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Having been foe the past two years a member -of the Council of this municipality, I now come before you'as a candidate for the position of Deputy -Reeve. There seems a disposition in some quarters to make the "pow By -Law" the sole iesue in the contest for this. position, although just why one member should be judged on the merits or demerits of a measure which received the support of all the members of the Council, excepting Mr. Weber, does not appear very reasonable. I supported the By -Law, believing that it would be ip the Interest of the Township, and that it was the, wish of the great roajoeity of the ratepayers that such a measure should have a fair trial as it was found almost impossible to keep ditches cleaned out or cultivate shade trees, in fact they had proved a nuisance in many ways, with no means of redress hitherto provided. And with re- gard to the Village Cow provision was made by a clause to the effect that they would be allowed to run at large providing reasonable care was taken to pre- vent them doing damage, but in default of which holding the owner liable for damage done. Now as far as I am personally concerned I have seen no rea- son to change my opinion, but I have always held that although the law undoubtedly gives the Council of any Municipality power to pass such a By -Law, yet in such cases more satisfaction would be felt if the matter was submitted to a vote of the Electors, as I am satisfied that in such cases the voice of the majority should rule. Now as regards the reasons which induced Mr. Sheppard to support the passing of the By -Law, judging from his present course it would be difficult perhaps even for himself to explain. Thanking you for your confidence during the past two yeats and soliciting your vote and influence should you approve of my general course of action, and assuring you that if elected to the position of Deputy -Reeve I will as in the past discharge the duties of the office to the best of my ability and judg- ment, sviehout feer-or favor.

JACKSON BROTHERS, TETE LEDING CLOTHIERS. 111EAP What does it mean The Dict'onary says low prices, that may be, but it does not follow that low priced goods are cheap. To constitute real cheapness other things must be taken into cdnsideration before the price; foremost among these is quality, which means 4n attribute, or rank. Our immense stock of Furniture will therefore be ra ked very high, because it is superior in quality to anything ever before offere to the people of Seaforth. Besides this, it pos- sesses other attributes, such at solidity, which means soundness or firraness. Durability, which signifies that our goods will last for a - long time.. Fitness, which means that you can find in this stock something suitable for everybody, this is because we carry so inaily various styles. All these attributes we com- bine in our goods,. and we are 13,b1e to sell them at such low figures, that we are conscious of having embodied 'ill the necessary qualifications of real cheapness. One trial is all we ask, and if hat does not secure your trade we will be will- ing to do without it, In the eantime we are determined to stand by our banner of highest quality at t e lowest living' prices.
