LOCAL JOTTINGS.
The Hensall Observer has the follow-
ing: --Ye editor paid the neighbouring
village of Exeter a visit' this week and
found the place bealthy and well strung,
aut. Exeter covers more ground for
its; population than any place in On-
tario. The new Methodist church which
is replacing the one burned some
months as•o is a very imposing, com-
modious structure and the James St peo-
ple are enlarging their borders length-
ening their cords and strengthening
their stakes. We paid the Advocate a
call and found the proprietors two ge
Ilia/ good fellows whose hearts were
not torn with envy because Jlensail has
the good fortune to have a newspaper.
We also met Mr. Harry Bishop whom
ewe met some years ago in Parkhill.
Mr. Bishop bas cast in his lot with the
Exeter people and they have in him
secured a good citizen, honorable and
Upright, a man who like wine improv -
ea with age Exeter people are quite
around of their granolithic pat:ements
which is certainly an advance over
the rough gravel walks found on their
back° streets We, believe that some
day. Exeter will rival Hensall in the ap
ppearance of the residentai portion of
the place. Exeter people call Hensall
the pretty yillage to the north. Some
of the merchants there were enquiring
if Jackson was doing as good a bust.

signs of a Bard Winter, •
The goosebone is nearly all white
this year, and the result will be that
ground.r
snow will lie on the from early
inDce
December until late in, April. A
long, cold winter, filled with blustering
storms, is ahead. '!'here . are other
signs that confirm this. Corn husks
are unusually thick and ,ehipmunks
and woodchucks are already fat
enough tolall. Coal is advancing and
gas companies are threateniug to raise
their rates.
Canadian Order or Foresters.
Few benevolent societies are on a
better footing, financially or otherwise,
than the Canadian Order of Foresters.
The membership now reaches nearly
21,000, and they have invested $100,
000 in Dominion Governmet,t bonds,
and have a surplus fund of $411,082,
The death rate for last year was only
5.02 in the 1,000, and the average rate
for the .past sixteen years 497. For
the year ending May 31st, 1895, the
claims paid reached $105,547, and yet
the increase in reserve, for the same
time reached $70,297. Since the ,or-
ganization of the Order in 1880. $1,-
072,000, has been paid in insurance
and benefits to members and their de
pendents.
Who is Be.
He is, in the popular sense of the
term, an all-round young man. He is
an ex-biayelist, and the day was when
he played a good game of baseball. He
is very popular with the fair sex, and
as a consequence is unmarried, at -
though 'tis whispered on the side that
his may be the next joyful addition t0
the mighty list of households on thi
old planet. If this be true he will b
but following family precedent. He
somewhat of a beau and is particula
as to set of his coat and the tying of h
cravat and is fond of a good weed. P
S.—Just at present he is a trifle ab
stracted in manner, from the fact tha
he is assiduously cultivating a mous
tache. You must not touch it ye
however. It is frail,
s

Fakirs—Beware of Them.
Some sharks are fishing for suckers
among the farmers, and judging by
reports they already have a nice string
The bait this time is stoves and the
game is worked something after this
fashion. A couple of gents from a To-
ronto stove firm will go to a farmer
and try to sell him a kitchen range for
$60. The farmer doesn't want it, But
the agent bas a mighty fine thing; he
will take the farmer's old stove and al-
low him $12 for it and the agents will
board at his place for two weeks and a1=
low him $10 a week for themselves and
horse; now that's $22 of the price of the
store. The farmer thinks he'll take it.
Then the wily agents persuade him
to sign a note for the full price of the
range, $G0. This is all they want and
they never take the stove or wait to
board at $10 a week. Occasionally
they vary this program by going to a
farmer of good standing and offering
to give him a range in exchange for
his services to consist in simply driv-
ing about the country with them, tak-
ing them to best men to deal with. But
they get his note, not to send to head•
quarters, of course, but just to hold as
security for the stove. The note goes
in and after a time he finds that he can•
not even eollect wages for the time he
has wasted, as the agents are no good.

The opinion is gathering strength at
Ottawa that a session in the latter part
of November or early in December is
on the cards.
Farmers were busy the fore part of
this week harvesting their root crop.
An abundant yield is reported from all
parts of the country.
Bead the continued story in this is-
sue entitled, "Settled out of Court" by
Mrs. Alexander. This is a good story
and well worthy of purusal.
Squirrel shooting is now the order of
the day. Theyseem to be plentiful this
season judging from the number
brought to town by our sports,
The anaiversary of the re opening
of the Presbyterian Church will be ob
eerved by special services on Sunday,
Oct., 20th, when Rev. E. W. Panton, of
Stratford, will conduct services at 11
a. m. and 6.30 p. m. Au anniversary
supper will be given in the basement
ofithe church on Monday, after which
addresses will be delivered by several
of the clergy.
An odd echeme of raising money was
tried at a Baptist church a few Sundays
ago. Every person present was asked
to put in a plain envelope as many
cents, or their equivalent, as the giver
had years. The envelopes were not
marked for identification, and the giv-
ers were put on their honour not to
cheat the Church by misstating their
age. The results were satisfactory.
It is not generally known that atthelast session of the Legislature art act
was passed, which is now 10 force, pro-
viding that where the husband dies
without a will with property 'less than
$1,000 everything goes to his widow.
When he dies with more than ,$1,000
in the administration the widow will
get $1,000 anyway. Thus a widow
will no longer be made to suffer
through her husband's carelessness in
not making a will.
The Wingham Advance editorially
says:—"There are several candidates
for the vacant registrarship in this
county. T. Gibson, M. P. P., wants it;
D. McGillCuddy, of the Goderieh Sig-
nal, is after it, and R. H. Collins, of
Exeter is in the`field also. If M. Y.
McLean, M. P. P., of Seaforth, has a
voice in the matter he should certainly
use his influence for his friend Collins,
who by the way is a very capable man
and competent man for the position,
Mr. Gibson should be content to draw
his $600 per year as long as he can and
then give someone else a show for the.
plums We don't lite to see a person
too grasping,"
The Clinton New Era says:—"They
are telling a story around town con-
cerning a forrfrer nursery agent of
London, well known here. Tree ped
lags are supposed to have nerveenough
for all purposes, but it seems that in
this particular instance his nerve failed
him, He lately decided to go into the
patent medicine business, and procilr-
ing the necessary outfit he went to
Zutich Fair, expecting that he would
'paralyze the natives;' He had studied
up a new speech for the occasion, and
he thought he would rehearse it before
the publie ordeal came. Going to his
room he tried to say his piece, but it
was no go and atter several futile 0 -
forts he found that his nerve had de.
serted him, and sooner than appear ., ppr
. .
to public ridicule, as he feared he would
he kept himself In hiding all day"

Manitoba Mercury:—"Mr. Thomas
Carling, of Exeter, nephew of Sir John
Carling, has been visiting the fairs in.
Southern Manitoba for the past week,
and his services as judge have been in
demand. He has also been looking af-
ter his landed interests throughout the
districts. Speaking of the exhibitions,
he says that no person witnessing the
splendid products shown can have any
doubt as to the future of this province."
Mr. Simons, station agent at Dublin

which is sure to come into general use
before long. It has an automatic cu
off, which will guard against the mangy
accidents which now occur through
neglect or accident in the cut off being
left open. It has been patented in
Canada and the United States, and Mr.
Simons is applying to have it patent-
ed in England as welt. There is a for-
tune in it.
The Oak Leaf, a newsy and well got -
ton up paper, published by C. R. Lee,
Neche, N. D., contains a "write up"
of "Ten Days with a gun on Rush
Lake," from which we clip the follow-
ing:—"The following day' we were
joined by Robert Sanders, of Exeter,
Out.. thoroughbred Englishman, Cana-
dian born, who had been invited to join
by Mooney. Mr Sanders was a good
shot, yery campaiaionable and was con-
sidered quite an acquaintance by us
all. We went out to a pass with him
one morning and every bird we would
miss he would bring down, which was
very kind of him, as he always had an
