"It is an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody some good." Notwithstand- ing the very severe, cold weather and inconvenience to traffic, the "ill wind" has made lots of bus ness for our hard- ware merchants and coal dealers.

Business has also been good with our dry goods merchants, as they have got rid of the bulk of their winter stook in the way of heavy tweeds and fur, Gent's Felt Hats.

A man representing himself as an agent, calls at a house and shows scene of the latest music which he offers et the extreme!, low price of five cents If the lady of the house be not prepared to buy he asks for her address which he requests her to sign ou a printed form, which afterwards turns out to be an order and note for $18 worth of music, About 30 years ago a man in the vicinity of Clinton obtained judgement against a debtor for $325. The debtor was unable to pay, but the claim was continually renewed, and although in later years the debtor was in position to pay, the claim was never presented until handed to the executors recently. In the meantime it has grown to about $800, the accumulated interest bring• ing it up to this amount, and the claim is one that may have to be paid. 7;8LFRSDAY. S. S. Examination at 7 p, m.

The Algoma Advocate (Thessalon) leas the following to say of the recent storms, "Many of the settlers in this part of Algoma hail from the County of Huron, and these individ uals can thank their good fortune that they have cast their lot in this District, which has been wonderfully free this season from storm er. extra cold weather, with the excep- tion,of the one cold r'nap. The residents of this. district may congratulate them teelves on the very pl,asant winter we are having, while on all sides we hear of mountains of snow, terrihle blizzards; and extreme cold weather.' A GREAT SUC€.ESS. Yes, the great clearing sale now running at the Big Bankrupt Store, is proving a big bonanza to the buying public. Never since we first commenced business in Exeter, have we had greater reason to say "THANKS" to the public for responding so nobly to our big clearing sales. And never ! No, never, have the public had greater reasons for saying "thanks" to us for the won- derful bargains. We are offering bargains that make people smile. Come with the crowd and secure some of the biggest bargains ever offered in Exeter. The Big Sale continues for 17 DAYS LONGER. COME ! AGAIN WE SAY, COME ! J. A. SIFEWART Don't fail to read the new story' in this issue. It is written by a popular author and will be of a most thrilling interest. Don't miss the opening chap- ters. The James street Methodist church choir has had its membership largely increased and will very much increase the interest and efficiency of the church services. The regular meeting of Lebanon Forest Lodge will be held on Monday next when all the members will be photographed by a flash -light. Alt members should be present. On Wednesday of last week the resi- deuce of Mr. Wm. Baker, Huron Street, was the scene of one of those pleasing events which usually cause a flutter of excitetneut, the occasion being the marriage of his daughter Millie to Mr. Chris Zuefle, of Crediton. The cere mony was performed by the Rey. Geo. Jackson in the pr, sence of a few of the contracting parties' near relatives and friends. We extend congratulations to the. young couple- Crediton will be their future home. The home of Mr. Wm. Horton, was the scene of a most pleasant affair on Wednesday evening last when his el dest daughter Esther was united in marriage to Mr. Hugh McDougall. of Hibbert. The Ceremony was perform- ed by the Rev E. W. Hunt in the pre- sence of quite a large nuhiber of rel- atives and friends. The bride was the recipient of a large number of beautiful presents. We wish the young couple every prosperity through life. A contemporary protests against the school restrictions that are cruel to a growing child full of life and hope, and against allowing these ules to be ad ministered in too marry cases by teach ors whom Providence neer intended for the work they are • engaged in, Trustees appear to think that anyone who has a certificate is necessarily qualified to teach. A more mistaken t otion could not be entertained. Teachers are born, not made, and Lt is a crime against the growing generat ion to those who are not natural teach- ers and who have taken up the profcs sion merely as a preliminary to mat rimony by those of one sex, or a profes- sion by those of the otner sex. An enterprising faker has been work - trig a cunning trick on a number of unfortunates in different parts of the county. tie travels about peddling a liniment that promises to cure many ailments, deafness being one of them, and when he finds a person afflicted with partial deafness he asks permis sion to try, free of charge, his "lighten- ing liniment." Ele carries two watches one a very loud ticker and the other a very weak ticking one. Before ap- plying the remedy he holds' the weak ticker to the ear of his patient, who, of course, can hear no sound. Putting it back in his pocket, he rubs the ear with his !mimetic; alwhile, then holdseihe loud ticking watch to his victim's head., and asks If he can hear it tick. Deceived, by the similarity of the watches and able to detect the sounds of rhe last one to which he listens, the deluding per Son imagines his hearing has been ben- efitted, if not rester( d, and at once buys several bottles at a big price, The trickster has been quite snccessful with his scheme in several localities, and is making money by his deception of the gulibility and misforttalne of others. A Bethesda correspondent says:— "We would like to see a change in the arrangement of the prstoffices in this seeder.. As the offices are located now they cause a great deal of inconven- ience to many and benefit a very few. One has only, to look at the situation of titer Hay and Rndgerville postafces to give their usefulness. One is a mile and quarter from Hensen and the other in rancistown. The people living east and west can save themselves very lit- tle. by getting their malt from these offices and prefer, under present con dations, patronizing the Exeter and Uensall offices, A much betterarrange meat, the superiority of which can he Von at a glance, would be to have the eff!iee at flay removed to Sexsmitli and title one at Rodgerville removed to Be tl resda. It is not right t.hat the postal eery1ce should be so deficient when a tetoedy lies within reach. We hope rite action will be taken in the mats mar, B arga!lls are tlie Three classes of men may be said to get their living from shavings'—the carpenter, the barber and the money-' lender. Next year will be leap year, and the last one for eight years. The leap years which falls in the last year of a century are not counted, so there will be only 28 days in the February of 1900. The oyster social and sale of work under the auspices of the Trivitt Me- morial church Guild on Tuesday night was a successin every sence of the word. A splendid tea was prepared by the ladies and all enjoyed them- selves immensely. A novel scheme in the shape of a "bran pie" was intro- duced and was a source of much merri ment to both old and young. The pro- ceeds amounted to about $50. order aT IhC day A petition has been circulated throughout town during the past few days, and in due time will be sent to W. H. Hutchins, M. P., praying that the Governmet take action in libera- ting young Bean, who was recently sent to Kingston penitentiary to serve a term of five years for taking undue liberties with a married woman named Mrs Mount in McGillivray township. It has since turned out that Mrs. Mount eloped with another man by the name of Ryan about tbree weeks ago and has not been heard of since. Doubtless her character bas not been of any too savory a nature and if the judge had meted out her dues she would now be occupying an adjacent cell to young Bean. Several petitions are on the go in McGillivray and other townships for his release. Exeter Council Proceedings.

Our usually quiet town was worked up to a high pitch of excitement on Friday morning last when it became generally known that Wesly Snell, butcher, had left town and had made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. He started in the butcher business here last spring and has also been dealing very extensively in cattle ever since, losing very heavily. His liabilities are estimated to be over $7,000, with assets very low—being a small number of book accounts. His principal creditors are as, follows: Wm. Snell, (his brother) of Usborne, $1,300; Robt Hicks, $1,000; John Load - man, $1,000; Robt. N Rowe, $500; Irv- ine Armstrong, $500; O'Neil's Bank, $600: Sidney Snell (his brother) of Us - borne, $800; Albert Ford, $100; Wm. Essery, London Road, $135; and sever- al other small amounts. On Monday Mr, John Loadman, who had endorsed a note in the bank swore out a warrait charging him with false pretenses. Detective John T. Westcott was de- spatched and arrested bimr, down the other side of London, and brought him back. The same evening (Monday) he was taken before Chas. Snell, J. P., when he was remanded until Monday, March 4th, and was let out on bail. As will be seen by an advertisement else- where a meeting of the creditors will take place on the 6th March. The Carnival. About the most successful carnival of the season was held at the ice rink on Monday night last. The attendance was good. but costumes were not as numerous as they might have been. There was a greater variety of fancy dresses among the ladies then the gen t!emen. The following characters were represented by the ladies, viz:—Parlor Maid, Miss Y'rankie Fish; Old Mother Hubbard, Miss L ura Lumley;Duster, Miss Mable Kemp; Fish Maid, ;bliss Ida Johns; Red -Riding Hood, Miss Lille Johns; Milk -maid, Miss Della Crocker; Flower Girl, Miss Vera Hawkshaw. Among non costumes on skates were noticed, Mrs. E. E. Ward, Mrs, J. A, Stewart. Mrs. Wes. Hawkshaw and a number of other ladies of the town. There was such it profusion of silk hats among the gentlemen that it is impos stbl" to place the characters represented There were no "dudes" among them as there are none (?) in Exeter. Prize contests were awarded as follows, viz: Bovis Retire J. Spackman, E. Dignan, GJ•8NTGUM.r9N'S RAOE, Ed, Treble, Geo, Hoskins, The latter caused much in- terest as the contestants passed and re- passed each other during the rare, Treble ccmingeout, by a quarter lap.

A Thornbury despatch has this to say of a former well known Exeterite. being the son of Mr. Wm. Fanson who resided here some years ago:—" W. J. Fanson, publisher of the Thornbury Herald, left his office on Wednesday, 13th inst., saying he was going to take a week's holidays. It is now learned that, accompanied by Miss Sadie Myles, daughter of James Myles, one of Euph- rasia's most successful farmers, Mr. Fanson drove to Collingwood, where they were quietly married. The young lady had been visiting her sister•, Mrs. W. E. Coffey, who supposed she had re- turned home to wait on her mother, who is ill, Mr. and Mrs Fanson are supposed to have gone to Chicago.
