Communication
Kaleida, Man., Feb. 16, 1899.
To EDITOR OF EXETER ADVOCATE.
DEAR Sra:-We have had very cold
weather during the past two weeks,45,
55 and some say 60 below zero, but at
present writing it is nice and mild and
thawing a little. Ontario has had
quite a number of visitors from aromad
about us and on their return one and
all say "Manitoba is pretty cold but I
would rather have it than rain." Farm-
ers are beginning to awaken to the
fact that spring is drawing near and
merry bells can be heard at any time
as they are on their journey too and
fro to the bush; the farmers getting
out wood so as to be ready, when the
soft and balmy winds have taken away
the mantle of snow, to be once more
on the land sowing the grain. What
a busy time the farmers have here in
the spring, plowing, sowing and har-
rowing and then taking the cattle
away to be herd.ed for the summer.
You can see hundreds of heads of cattle
all banded together on the prarie with
a, man or boy accompa,nying them for
the purpose of keeping them within
certain limits,for woe be unto the farm-
ers fields of grain if they got into them.
It is a very pretty sight indeed. Since
my last vvviting we had a real old time
blizzard, and while no one suffered
around us, in Cavalier County, N. D.,
there was two or three deaths from
colcl, 1. It is much worse over there then
here daring ii, storm, as it is all clear
prairie anti the wind. makes a dean
sweep. Hoping I have not trespassed
too much on your spaee,
I am yours truly,
AMELIA.

ANNIVERSARY' SERVIOES.-on Sun-
day- the Rev. Christian Staebler, P.E.,
one of Buffalo's most popidar devines,
and formerly pastor of the Crediton
congregation, preached alive powerful
and impressive sermons, two in Ger-
man and one in English, here in the
Germ= church. The Rev. gentleman
has a large nuniber of bosom friends
here, who, with pleasure and spiritual
profit, attended his services last Sun-
day. Rev. Staebler is bound to make
a mark in the world, being a person of
great, personal ability, and as an orator
second to none in the church of his op-
tion. When the church was dedicat-
ed the congregation provided for its
payment. Since that time a handsome
fence has been built; cement sidewalks
laid and some loss in subscriptions and
other incidental expenses, caused a,
deficit of about $500. This the con-
egation was asked to wipe out last
Sunday. Henry Either M.L.A., pro-
mised the trustees of the church that
if the congregation would wipe out the
accrued balance he would give them
$50. The congregation accepted the
challenge and Harry had to put up.
To that every dollar of the church
fund is now secured and the church is
free from all incumbrence. This is as
it should be. Now we expect that the
grounds around the church will be 1111 -
proved and kept hi good condition.
What a pleasure it must be to the
members of this congregation to kalow
that such a handsome edifice is entire-
ly paid for and what a legacy the
older members (who have contributed.
so handsomely) have to hand down to
the future generation. -Monday even-
ing the Bev. C. Staebler gave his not-
ed. lecture "Dollars and -Sense " to a
large audience. The Rev. gentleman
gave some.good pointers on how we
should handle our dollen and common
sense, while now and then he -meld
give some witty anecdote. He niade
a rod impression on his audience and
it is hoped that, they will inereaseboth
their dollars and sense. The notice-
able people nth° attended the chureh
Anniversary last, Sunday and Monday
are: -Rev's. Heist and Sinienof Zurich

eighty vehicles, reaching one mile and
a quarter. On Sunday evening the
inemorial service was preached by the
Rev. S. Salton and the congregation
filled the church from back to front.
It was an impressive and well directed
sermon. The choir gave some very
appropriate selections.

Brussels: One day recently Tom
Bird had the inisfortime to have his
foot jammed by a stick of timber in P.
Ament's mill yard.
Settforth: On Tuesday night some
person or persons entered. the shoe
store of Mr. Robert Willis and stole
therefrom nearly $150. Mxs
pays for grain for Mr. James Beattie,
and on that night had about $150
mostly in bills, left on hand. For safe
keeping it was placed in an old shoe
box and laid on a shelf among a num-
ber of other such boxes. In appear-
an(1e it WaS quite as innocent looking
as the other boxes, although. much
more valuable, and the thief must cer-
tainly have known where it had been
put. How entrance was gained to the
store is equally as mysterious as who
the thief was, as the entrance was ef-
fected without violence of any kind.
The loss is a heavy one, but as Mr.
Willis has not the slightest clue, he
does not know hew to turn to endeavor
to recover the stolen property. • As far
as is known nothing else in the store
was disturbed. The burglar had simp-
ly. walked in, placed his hand on the
right box, extracted. the -money leav-
ing the right box behind, and the theft
was not noticed until about noon on
Wednesday.
