NORTHCOTT, Hay P. 0. For Sale. Considerable has been said on • the I The question has been asked over matter of a station and its site. A tittle more will not be amiss. In conversation with many of the residents daring the past week it is. found that a very considerable proper. tion are hostile to the idea of leaving it to the option of the G.T.R. Com- pany where they will, build. if a united effort on the part of the citizens of town would convince the company that a more suitable location than the present one could be sect; ed. • Un- doubtelly the rumored attitude of the railway officials leaves thern open to a suggestion by the . town. In such a case is it well that we should stand aside and passively allow a new sta- tion to he built• near the old site, or even to suggest that such is the will of the citizens Many of the people think not. In case the company has deter- mined to build on their presentglounds is it of any particular interest to Exe- ter? Very slight. We don't need to care whether they build or not. Or, at least not any inose so than a farmer would feel regarding the hanging of a new gate at the front of his farm, or a citizen at placing a brass knocker or a• new bell on his front door. And, goodness knows, the present station, a mile or so away, is more like a back than a front entrance to Exeter. What we should be interestedin is. having -a station nearer town. Then, as we have already stated, no more suitable location at slight cost could be secured than at the foot of Sanders street. just three blocks West of the Town Hall. The length of the belt. would only be from Huron street to the south of the warehouses. The land ,is nearly all vacant, no houses would be interferred with, and the cost of such either totown or company would be small. The resulting benefits would be all that could be secured from a central location. If that is what we want why not make an effort? The first thing to be done is to find out whether the citizens desire such. Get that expression- then the council would be in a position to state their case to the railway officials. The point then is to -get an expression of the pub lic opinion and what better way than to call a public meeting for the pur- pose. Undoubtedly the ratepayers are sufficiently interested to come out and have a good representative meeting when the matter could be explained and an open vote taken to show where we started. Of course, it has been persistently rumored (we have failed to find .where it originated) that the station, would have been built last year had the town or Board of Trade not interfered with the-G.T.R. officials. Is that.rot a lassie excuse? They are not going to be de- terred from their work because we happen to discuss the matter publicly or privately. The Company will prob- ably do as they like anyhow, but it would be wiseto give the town coun- cil some idea as to the opinion of our townsmen, so that they would know "where they event." - That well drained, well improved and•truly up.to- date farm, being composed of.

M. Si. Silver Anniversary The Woman's Missionary Society of the James street Methodist church celebrated the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the Society in Canada on Sun- day and Monday last. The pastor of the church, Rev. A. H. Going, preach' ed a special sermon on Sunday morn- ing during which he gave a history of the missionary work in home and for- eign fields with particular reference to the work done by the W. M. S. He also spoke of the rapid growth of the society since its commencement a quarter of a century ago. On Monday evening the ladies gave a tea and pro- gram in the basement of the church. A very large number were present and all seemed to thoroughly enjoy them- selves. The president, Mrs. W. G. Bissett. occupied the chair and con ducted the program, which consisted of songs, addresses and recitations. The program opened by a pleasing song fermi three little girls. This was followed by the reading of a paper by the secretary, Mrs. Chas. Snell, Sr.,. giving a report of the work of the So- ciety, and its progress. The society was successtul in China and Japan in its educational work as well as in teaching .Christianity. The work of tib• supply committee in sending cloth- - irwas proceeding apace. The de- mondrmond never grows less. Many letters of gratitude were received from mis- sionaries. Solos by Miss Lewis and Miss Taylor were well rendered, as were a quartette of 'male and female voices and a. song by eight members of the society. Eleven little girls gave an illustrated. recitation and song pic- turing the barbarous custom in China of binding the little girl's feet and the work of the missionaries in the way of relief for the children. This number was exceptionally interesting and re- flects credit upon Mrs. Thos. Johns who had taught the girls. Rev. Going gave a short address emphasising the great work elf the W. M. S. in educat- ing the people in missions and culti- vating a systematic giving. The dis- trict organizer, Mrs. Marshall of Kirk - ton, was present and when called on gave a short address. The proceeds amounted to over $50. In this connection it might be stated that the James street Branch has bee n in existence some seventeen years, and has now a membership of forty ladies. Of those who became members when the branch was first organized but three remain, Nis. W. G. Bissett. Mrs. Samuel Buckingham and Mrs. R. E. Pickard (then Miss Verity). sElilii�v� ovT • OUR TURN ]YEXT To the Congregations of the Churches of Exeter. The Exeter Branch of the British & Foreign Bible Society gratefully ac- knowledges the receipt of the follow- ing contributions in aid of the Socie- ty's home and foreign work:—Annual meeting $4.75; Main street Methodist church $9; Oaven Presbyterian church $17; Trivitt Memorial church $17; James street church $16.30. Total 564.10. The committee are pleased to state that this represents an increase of nearly 20 per cent above the amount received last year. A helpful addit- ion is also expected from the gifts of the children at the projected Sabbath school mass meeting, the date of which will be duly announced, as well as of those friendly to the Society's work who have not yet contributed. The comnlittee would further state that whilst feeling grateful for the gifts re- ceived and especially for those how- ever small that may have been given out of a personal need they cannot but remind those who have given and may yet give that it is after all, but the carrying out of a last wish and that too but with the tneans that he has left at unlit disposal.

Saturday is St. Patrick's Day, and. the Advocate extends the hand of of good fellow -ship to all the sons of St. Patrick on the anniversary of the birthday of that energetic apostle. There appears to have been an im- mense amount of vim about Saint Pat. rick. The fact • that with a single twist of bis miraculous crosier, he van- quished all the toads and snakes in old Ireland, besides "bodderin" the other vermin, is a proof that he was as dex- terous with'tbatspiritual weapon as his diciples are now in the use of the shil- lalah. Not a, snake, nor a toad, nor any other species, except the thithe proctor, the bailiff and the exciseman has been seen, the tell us, between Coleraine and Killarney, from that day to this. Of the Saint's family we have no particulars beyond the state- ment that he was born of decent people and was himself a gentleman. That he was well-to-do and of muni- ficent disposition is certain, for be built a church in Dublin town and sub- sequently capped the edifice with a steeple. It is much to he regretted that no perfect memoir of the venerable man has come down to us, but bio- graphers were scarce in those days. One thing is certain. he Christianized Ireland and devoted his time, talents and wordly goods to the great cause of human progress. Elimville W. Hern was in London last week on business.—Mrs. Wen, Miners and twin babies of Pt. Edward are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. Johns and Mr. and Mrs. J.

Coul- tice got restless and the result was a pair of broken shafts. The colt was securly tied or it would probably have caused trouble among the other horses. —Our mail man, Mr. F. Ballantyne, spent a part of this week in Toronto. Mr. H. Brown took his place on the stage.—Miss May Hawkins has re- turned home after spending a few weeks with her uncle, Mr. G.

Fair of Stratford is visiting at the parson- age arsonage this week. The social given under the auspices of the Epworth League on Tuesday evening was claimed a success by all. It was gotten up to give the young people a social evening as well as to furnish funds for the forward move- ment. An exceilent program was giv- en in which Miss Robinson of Kirkton, elocutionist, gave several selections. Miss Robinson's readings are worthy of comment, and were well appreciat- ed on that occasion. The Winchelsea quartette was also in attendance and gave some very fine selections. The Elimville male quartette also furnish- ed several pieces much appreciated by all. After the programme all retired to the basement of the church where lunch was served by the members of the leauge. In all a very social time was had. The proceeds, -with the ad- mission only 10c, amounted to over $17. Canadian exports to United States increased $4,000,000 in 1905, while those to Great Britian decreased large- ly. Cheese is the principal export, bogs and hog products were second, and wheat was third.
