I W. fereiant Til1Zor� Exeterl Ontario Hicks' Forecasts for March. By putting the storm diagrams for Febrnary and March together, it will be seen that the disturbing causes beaking on the,last days of February continue into the opening cays of March. In fact, the culminating days of a regular storm period fall from Thursday the 1st to Sunday the 4th of March. A regular Vulcan storm per- iod is central on•the lst. On and touch- ing the 2nd and 3rd look for much higher temperature attended by threat- ening fall of the barometer, ending in heavy to violent storms. -In niostparts these storms will at first be tropical in character—heavy rain' and hail with ligh tn ing, thunder,and local floods; but sudden and extreme change to` -colder will follow, bring high barometer, snow squalls and fierce, cold winds from the northwest. A reactionary storm period centers on the 6th, 7th and 8th. At this time the sharp cold that followed the previous period will relax, the barometer will fall, and •re- newed storms of rain and wind, turn- ing to snow in northern and central regions; may be expected. Very -warm, humid weather, with low and falling barometer, and: restless, electrical clouds, at such a period as this, and, other periods next following, should put every one on the watch for storms of possibly danger. A.short, cold wave may possibly corne from the north- west behind these storms; if so it will soon break down in the on -coming of the period just ahead. Messrs. Poplestone & Gardiner, who have been -carrying on a general store business here for over three years, yes- terday closed the store, having in Dec. last purchased a business in BIyth, where Mr. Poplestone has been since the first of the year.

We wish thema full measure of success. We understand that it is the inten- tion of Mr. A. McDonell as soon as the weather permits, to put in a new front in the drug store occupied by Mr. W. S. Cole, and thus complete the final improvement in the largest business block in town. Mr. Cole also intends to have the interior completely remod- elled in the latest design, including silent salesman cases and the most modern drug store equipment. When completed th&Central Drug Store will be second to none and the block one of the best in the county. Mr. W. J.

We salute you, Oaaptian. Mr. Geo. Keys, of Snowflake, Man.; formerly a resident of Stephen, in writing to the Advocate says:—"The winter was mild up to Feb. lst but since then it bas been anything but mild, averaging from 20 to 40 degrees below zero. We don't consider that cold for this country, and 40 below zero here is no worse than 10 in Ontario. Of course we have to clothe ourselves very warmly here and when 40 below zero no part of the body, can be left ex- posed without its freezing in a very short time. Wo enjoy the West very always a much but we shall .l ways retain warm spot in our hearts for old On- tario and the many friends who were pear and dear to us." While we had some execedingly cold" days in the month of February, the latter part of the month, and last week in particular, was quite mild, two or three days being ' even summer-like. The frost came out of the ground and left the roads in the usual spring con- dition. The nights were mild.

He _ had wakened on Wednesday morning ,last and had partially dressed himself, when apparently his heart failed and he had fallen back on the bed. When found shortly after life was extinct. Mr. Kernick had been in fair health previously and what brought on the trouble is a mystery. He bad been living with his son, Geo. A. Kernick, who has become quitewealthy through becoming owner of some valuable gold mines at Goldfield, and who is at pre- sent doing further prospecting in the gold region. Mr. Kernick was 68 years of age. The body has been embalmed, but the funeral will not take place un- til the arrival of the son, whose exact whereabouts were unknown at the time of the death. Mr, Kernick spent several months visiting here last year and when he returned to California he: was accompanied by Mrs. Southcott, who is still there. Deceased was pos- sessed of a general, generous and kind- ly disposition, and having shared to a considerable extent the prosperity of his son, he performed many kindly acts while sojourning here a year ago. The greater part of his life was spent in earnest toil, and for many years his every dollar went to pay the expenses of the gold search_ in which his son was then engaged. The reward carne, but Mr. Kernick did not live long to enjoy, the wealth of which they finally be- came possessed, treweelela sVaretaeGMOVireerravoft PERSONAL. a • iillllNiv'BISCWYXCANDY CO Food Value Mooney's Perfection Cream Sodas are crisp squares of wholesome nourishment..
