He is a renown- ed orator, and having formerly been a pastor at James. St. will• doubtless draw a large crowd. Several of our local 'sports, in hot pursuit of game in Hay swamp on Tuesday wandered wide of the beaten .path, and found themselves in a part of the swamp with which they were not familiar. About two hours elapsed and night came on before they were able to extricate themselves. How- ever they did not come home empty- handed, and were only a little more tired than usual. The James street Methodist church Anniversary services will be held on Sunday and Monday, Dec. 11 and 12. On the Sabbath the Rev. Geo. • Web- ber of Toronto, will preach at both ser- vices.

No. 8, and is giving excellent satisfaction. We have not learned what Miss Pringle intends doing. The anniversary services will be con- ducted in the James Street Methodist Church on Sunday and Monday, Dec, llth and 12th. Rev. Geo. Webber, of Toronto, will preach both morning and evening of Sunday, and will de- liver a lecture on Monday evening. An old fashioned tea -meeting will be given on Monday between the hours of 5.30 and 8 p.m. Mr. Webber was some years since pastor of the church and his many old friends in this vicinity will be pleased to have the opportun- ity of hearing him once more. Mr. Phil. Baker, of Brewster, one of Stephen's most progressivefarmers, reports a remarkable instance of hog feeding. On the 4th of November he purchased six bogs and at once penned them for feeding, the six weighing 966 lbs. On Thursday last he delivered them to Messrs. Prior & Armstrong, when the six tipped the scales at 1270 pounds, thus making a gain of 304 pounds, net, or an average of nearly 50 pounds on each hog in 20 days. They were fed on choppedbarley and oats in quantities of two thirds and one third respectively. Where such excellent results as these are obtained it is proof or demonstration of judi- cious feeding. Mother earth has donned a heavy robe of white, twelve or fourteen in- ches of snow having fallen during the latter part of last week and Sunday. On Thursday evening, Nov. 24th, the first snow to a depth of 2 or 3 inches fell, but was rapidly disappearing on Friday; but further flurries on Friday evening and Saturday succeeded in increasing the depth by an inch or so. The heavy and almost continuous snowstorm .of Saturday night and Sunday made the white blanket about a foot in depth. The snow fall bas changed the aspect of things consider- ably. On Saturday and Sunday the runners began to appear, while on Monday their use became general. The fall wearing apparel began to give place to the warmer articles of winter use, the coal fires were lighted in par- rorand kitchen, and the snow shovel replaced the broom in clearing the sidewalks. The snowy wintry weather of 1903-4 set in one week earlier than this year. The first snow of last sea- son arrived early on the morning of Nov. 17th, and the beautiful remained with usjust five long months. Dur- ing the past fall we were favored with a very meagre amount of rain and the water in many of the wells is very low. Considering this circumstance and the fact that the balance of nature is generally kept pretty even, we may naturally expect to see much of the snowfall of this week disappear. Carpet Weavinir.

Synod of Huron elected Ven. Arch- deacon David Williams, M,A., rector of St. James Church, of Stratford, to be Bishop of the Diocese of Huron. in succession to the late Maurice S. Baldwin, for 21 years the belayed head of the Diocese. Archdeacon Williams' election to this high and holy office was consummated on the third- ballot, though it was assured on the announce- ment of the result of the second bal- lot on which he was elected by the clergy, and fell but three short of election by the lay delegates. The delegates from Exeter were Rev. R. J. M. Perkins and Mr. N. D. Hurdon. Funeral of Mrs. Frank Willis. Several from town drove to Lucan on Thursday last to attend the funer- al of the late May Morgan, beloved wife of a former resident of Exeter, Mr. Frank Willis, now of Springside Assa, Mrs. "Willis died at the home of her parents in Lucan on Tuesday, Nov. 22nd. Mr. and Mrs. Willis were married soiue three or four years ago, and resided in Forest for some time, afterwards removing to Springside, Assa. Some time ago Mrs. Willis contracted a severe cold, which devel- oped into consumption, and the west- ern weather being too severe for her frail constitution, she returned to On- tario to reside with her parents. The disease had, however, obtained a firm hold and she gradually sank until death relieved her. During the de- ceased's many visits to Exeter she had won the esteem of a large number of friends who are very sorry to hear of her early demise, and who extend to the bereaved husband and family their sincere sympathy. Death of Robert Knight. This week it becomes our sad duty to record the detnise of Robert Knight, son of Mr. Charles Knight, who has been prematurely removed from a peaceful and happy home and from his beloved wife, son, parents, sister and brothers by the ruthless grin reaper, His death was not in the least unexpected, although it was thought at first, and even at later stages of the trouble, that at his period of life, assisted by an indomitable en- ergy and buoyant spirits he would be able to resist the ravages of the dis- ease and finally have a happy issue ont of his affliction. But it was willed otherwise and in spite of the best med- ical assistance and the tender minist- rations of sympathizing friends and relatives he gradually sank until Fri- day last when he passed over the bounds of time, tuberculosis of the hovels being the supposed cause of his death. Mr. Knight was a tailor by trade and for several years conducted a merchant tailoring establishment here. He carried on business here un- til his health necessitated a relaxa- tion from active life, consequently he disposed of his business and sought more outdoor exercise, but even this did not bring the desired result. FIe married Miss Carrie Drew, youngest daughter of Mr. Wm. Drew, of town, and she, with one son, survives him. Ne was amember of the Independent Order of Oddfellows and also of Leb- anon Forest Lodge of Masons. Mr. Knight was a quiet, 'unobtrusive gen- tleman and was popular with all class- es of the community. He was 35 years of age. The sincerest spnapathy of his numerous friends will be extended to the widow and sorrowing family in their irreparable loss. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from. his parents' residence, Station street, under the auspices of the I.O.O.F. His remains were taken to the Trivitt Memorial Church where an appropri- ate and most touching service was conducted by the rector, Rev. R. J. M. Perkins, and despite the very stormy weather the church was cornfortably filled, At the grave the burial cere- mony of the Oddfellows was conduct- ed. Beautiful floral tributes were in evidence from the following friends and relatives:—Lebanon Forest Lodge, square andconaposs; Odclfellows, pil- low bearing the three links; Family, a pillow; TrivittMemorial Church Guild, wreath• Miss 1.

Death has claimed another of our aged residents in the person of Mrs. Ann Pollard, which sad event took place at the home of her son•in-law, Mr. Win. Brimacombe, on Monday night last. The deceased has been in failing health for some months but her case did not assume a serious nature until about ten days previous to her demise, when she was compelled to take her bed and from a complication of diseases she sank rapidly until death claimed her. Mrs. Pollard was born near Woodstock, in Oxford Coun- ty, her maiden name being Barr, and she was twice married. Her first hus- band was James Lagrice, who died about twenty years ago and her sec- ond husband, Thomas Pollard, prede- ceased her about eight years. Mrs. Pollard resided with her first husband in the township of Stephen, but after his death moved to Exeter, where she has since resided. For the past two and a half years the deceased has re- sided with her daughter, Mrs. Brima- combe. The funeral takes place to- day (Thursday) to the Exeter ceme- tery, Jho^ agmagn31.tda Jai pe 1 PERSONAL. Mrs. Jaines Miller spent Tuesday in London.
