Sugar Beet Meeting.
The. Berlin Sugar Company had a
meeting called in conjunction with A.
Q. Bobier to discuss the growing of
sugar beets and the establishment of a
factory in Exeter on Thursday, Dec.
28bh, in the Town Hall, Exeter. A
yery large number of farmers and oth-
ers were in attendance. The discours-
es were very attentively listened to.
The speakers were Dr. Shettleworth
and Mr. Deitwater, of Berlin, and A.
Q. Bobier, T. B. Oarliug, H.E. Huston
and W. H. Harvey, of town. The
farmers of this neighborhood have evyi
dently awakened to the fact that there
is money to be made in the sugar beet
industry and they are taking hold of
the work with the determination to
get a factory in Exeter. Marge acre-
age was signed at the greeting, and
farmers are coming in every day and
signing for a number of acres. Mr.
Bobier estimates that ,there will be
over 400 acres of sugar beets :planted
in this district during the coming sum-
mer. Considerable over 1000 acres
have already been contracted for and
if the estimated number of acres be
planted in the district between Lon-
don and Kincardine the establishment
of the factory is an assured thing. Mr.
Bobier is anxious that all those who
contemplate putting, in sugar beets
should communicate with hire before.

know how much seed to order. We
believe there is money in the growing

Messrs. N. M. Contin and Jules
Savarin, of St. Joseph were in town
Monday, representing the Internation-
al Flax Fibre Co. with bead office at
St. Joseph. The object of their visit
was to negotiate with our business
men for the establishment of afactory
in town for dressing and preparing
flax into fibre and tow by the methods
and decorticatineapparatusdiscovered
and patented by one G-. R. de Mont
lord. The apparatus in question is a
marvellous invention if it does all that
is • claimed for it. Green flax taken
direct from the field, put through this
machine produces a finer, cleaner and
stronger fibre than the rotting and
breaking methods of the old process
and in less than one hoar from the
time the flax is placed in the machine
ib produces fibre ready to spin. Their
proposition was heard by a large num-
ber of our business men but no action
was taken, but like Oliver Mowat, it
was promised their most serious con-
sideration.

i€ocicey Notes.
The Exeter and St. Marys hockey
teams played an interesting game in
St. Marys on Friday night last when
the home team won by a score of 6 to
2. The game was fast but a little rough
at times. The half-time score was 4-1.
E. W. Horne refereed satisfactorily.
—The London team have defaulted to
Exeter.—The boys have won 2 and lost
3.—The date has, not beep fixed for the
match with Whitford.—The unsettled
condition of the weather has been
rather hard on the game of hockey
this season.—It is expected that sever-
al exhibition games will be played dur-
ing the next two months.
Congratulations.
Mr. Richard Davis and wife arrived

ed to Miss Sarah Love. formerly of

other friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Davis a long and prosperous wedded

Suceesshul Huron !ley.
It is with pleasure that we hear of
the success of Huron boys, whether
living in their native country or in dis-
tant parts. The remarkable success
of George, A. Kernick, a young but
successful prospector and miner, in the
town of Goldfield, Nevada State, Unit-
ed States, is deserving. of more than
passing notice., At the age of 7 years
he moved to Western Canada, with his"
parente, and when a mere boy started
in search ofprecious` metals but with
indifferent success until he struck Ton-
opah (Nevada. State,)' in July of 1002.
Here he became the owner of a third.
of a gold claim valued at $325,000. He
has also secured a third interest in is
gold mine in Goldfield, which is aver-
aging $1,407.50 to the ton" In addition
he has a large interest in nineteen
other claims, which should add great-
ly to his wealth. Mr. Daniel Kernick
of Usborne, and Mrs. James Tom of
Exeter, are respectively uncle and
aunt of this successful miner. The
late James Oke was an uncle

Board of Trade Organization.
The Exeter Council by post card
called a meeting of the business men
of the town for Tuesday evening of last
week and a goodly representation of
the business class met accordingly in
the Town Hall on that evening. The
object of the meeting was the organiz-
ation of a Board of Trade, to work in
conjunction with the Council in pro-
moting the best interests of the town,
securing mannfacturies, better railway
facilities, etc. The Reeve, Mr. W. G.
Bissett, was elected chairman of the
meeting and Mr. John Grigg was elect-
ed secretary. In a short speech Mr.
Bissett announced the object of the
-meeting and invited those present to

' v alongthat line.
air their views
speeches of more or less length many
of those present expressed their opin-
ions relative to the formation of a
Board and the work that might be ac-
complished by such an organization.
In the course of the meeting sueh'mat-
tesrs as the .market, the railway, the
station house, the warehouses, and
manufacturses were discussed at some
length. Strongobjection was made
by several to wat, they were pleased
to call the "one-man market" on the
ground that the lack of competition
where the whole of one line of trade
was controlled by one man. The rent-
ing, or purchasing of a warehouse and
theplacing of a man on the market by
the town was advocated as a means of
overcoming the situation. The posi-
tion of the L. H. & B. track and of the
station house came in for "a full share
of criticism, and in this connection the
advantages of a line Of railway winning
through the centre of the town were
fully broaght forth, A much favored
opinion was that which advised the
making of a strong olforb to secure a
branch of the C. P. R. Among the in-
dustries which were considered in the
light of being good things for the -town
to secure, were a Sugar Beet Factory,
a Canning Factory,; and a Knitting
Factory. An idea of the cost of estab-
lishment, the number of halals to be
employed, anti the resulting benefit; to
the town, of the different proposed in -
,v
dustries was well aired, and a favor-
able
or -
able impression was ' made, The
thought in everyone's mind: seemed to
be :that something should be done
and done at once, and that by forming
themselves into a Board of Tonle was
the best way to Commence
