Sympathy for the cause and respect for the dead found a responsive cord in the hearts of many citizens and People of the surrounding country an Friday night last when the concert under the auspices of the ladies In aid of the cemetery funds was largely pat- ronized -in fact one of the largest audiences that has ever convened in tbe Opera House was in attendance. To the directors and ladies of the dif- ferent churches is due the credit for its magnificent success and aside from the worthiness of the object the entertainment was a most ceeditable one, once more detnoustrating the fact that there is sufficient talent in Exeter for any emergency and cap- able of entertaining the most fastIda- ous auidence on an equal with the average outsider. Dr. Lutz, one of the most, onthnslastic of the directors, had charge of tho program.and in his usual happy manner introduced the -various numbers and the large audi- ence thoroughly enjoyed and appre- ciated the program rendered. The different drills of the little girls; also the choruses of the very young ladies, were good inleed and thoroughly en- joyed by the audience, and. much credit is due the ladies who superin- tended the necessary training for their respective parts. The reading by Master Dyer Hurdon, the recita- tion by Mrs. Manson, the solo entitled 'There is a Land" by Mr. Jos. Senior, the piano solo by Miss Martin, the quartettes and double quartettes by ladies and gentlemen, the excellent instrumental selections rendered by Dr. Sellery and Messrs. Trott and Lan- caster, of Hensel% and Mr. Smith, town, were received with genuine appreciation. The Davidson orchestra, which is an excellent musical organ- ization, was present in full force and added much to enliyen the entertain- ment by rendering several fine selec- tions. The ladies who devoted both time and labor n promoting the concert should feel gratified with the result; they were favored with a fine day, the audience was large, orderly and thor- oughly appreciative, the program good and well rendered, the orchestral accompaniment all that could be de- sired and the fiktancial result most sat- isfactory. The amount realized, over expenses, was $155.00. about the 14th and 15th. Behind these storms look for a very high barometer, with severe winter gales from the north west, and a cold wave that will be felt in varying degrees to the south- ern coasts. All through this part of the month continued tendency to win- ter storms will prevail, but a marked return to storm conditions, with gen- eral rain and snow may be expected about the 19th to the 21st. On the 21st these reactionary storms will culmin- ate in possible winter thunder, wind and rain, especially to the south, but it will be wise to look for a sudden change to snow, sleet and freezing, as the centre of the low barometer works well to the east. Remember that all phases of storm and change follow close on the heels of each other, all moving from west to east, -and no part of the varying disturbances can sur- prise you. The warmer, beautiful days" just before the rain and snow will not deceive you, and the rain and snow will put you on the watch for the cold wave behind them. The last storm period for December and the year 1902 is central on Christmas day, the 25th. Storms of this period may have developed in western sections by the 25th, but central and eastern parts of the country will most likely have fair and,moderate weather Christmas day. From lboat Friday the 26th to Monday the 29th, rain and snow will advance eastward quite across the country, leaving very cold weather behind them over most of the country as the month goes out.

Sympathy for the cause and respect for the dead found a responsive cord in the hearts of many citizens and People of the surrounding country an Friday night last when the concert under the auspices of the ladies In aid of the cemetery funds was largely pat- ronized -in fact one of the largest audiences that has ever convened in tbe Opera House was in attendance. To the directors and ladies of the dif- ferent churches is due the credit for its magnificent success and aside from the worthiness of the object the entertainment was a most ceeditable one, once more detnoustrating the fact that there is sufficient talent in Exeter for any emergency and cap- able of entertaining the most fastIda- ous auidence on an equal with the average outsider. Dr. Lutz, one of the most, onthnslastic of the directors, had charge of tho program.and in his usual happy manner introduced the -various numbers and the large audi- ence thoroughly enjoyed and appre- ciated the program rendered. The different drills of the little girls; also the choruses of the very young ladies, were good inleed and thoroughly en- joyed by the audience, and. much credit is due the ladies who superin- tended the necessary training for their respective parts. The reading by Master Dyer Hurdon, the recita- tion by Mrs. Manson, the solo entitled 'There is a Land" by Mr. Jos. Senior, the piano solo by Miss Martin, the quartettes and double quartettes by ladies and gentlemen, the excellent instrumental selections rendered by Dr. Sellery and Messrs. Trott and Lan- caster, of Hensel% and Mr. Smith, town, were received with genuine appreciation. The Davidson orchestra, which is an excellent musical organ- ization, was present in full force and added much to enliyen the entertain- ment by rendering several fine selec- tions. The ladies who devoted both time and labor n promoting the concert should feel gratified with the result; they were favored with a fine day, the audience was large, orderly and thor- oughly appreciative, the program good and well rendered, the orchestral accompaniment all that could be de- sired and the fiktancial result most sat- isfactory. The amount realized, over expenses, was $155.00. about the 14th and 15th. Behind these storms look for a very high barometer, with severe winter gales from the north west, and a cold wave that will be felt in varying degrees to the south- ern coasts. All through this part of the month continued tendency to win- ter storms will prevail, but a marked return to storm conditions, with gen- eral rain and snow may be expected about the 19th to the 21st. On the 21st these reactionary storms will culmin- ate in possible winter thunder, wind and rain, especially to the south, but it will be wise to look for a sudden change to snow, sleet and freezing, as the centre of the low barometer works well to the east. Remember that all phases of storm and change follow close on the heels of each other, all moving from west to east, -and no part of the varying disturbances can sur- prise you. The warmer, beautiful days" just before the rain and snow will not deceive you, and the rain and snow will put you on the watch for the cold wave behind them. The last storm period for December and the year 1902 is central on Christmas day, the 25th. Storms of this period may have developed in western sections by the 25th, but central and eastern parts of the country will most likely have fair and,moderate weather Christmas day. From lboat Friday the 26th to Monday the 29th, rain and snow will advance eastward quite across the country, leaving very cold weather behind them over most of the country as the month goes out.
