SPRING
SUITINGS
Air 'f 'P'ilFAll"V'r'0"ra1,n' R
Say, we get in some swell
Spring Suitings _ last week.
They axe right up to the mo-
ment
Gats are two inches longer than
last year, aud the lapels are so much
broader and deeper that you can't help
but notice them.
The vests are cut with five buttons.
The pants are just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for .$15,
$18 and $20, and no matter where you
go you can't find anything that will
fit as nicely as they do. •

Hicks' Forecasts tor March.
A reactionary storm period is cen-
tral on the 17th, 18th and 19th, with
the Moon at Last quarter and extreme
south declination. This period is near
the center of the Earth's equinox, and
still under the influence of Venus' per-
tnrbation. Another fact we must
keep in mind, is that the equinox of
the planet Saturn will be felt in all the
phenomena of the present season,
especially at the equinoxes and the sol-
stice periods of our globe. At this
period, the 17th, 18th and 19th, look for
return of falling barometer, higher
temperature and more rain and snow
—rain southward, turning to snow in
middle to northern states. The inevit-
able rise of barometer, and change to
colder from the northwest will follow
in the immediate wake of these storms
bringing cold, raw weather generally
from about the 19th to 22nd.
DON'T MONKEi' WITH
THAT COLD.

At the Owen Sound assizes, Mr. Lud-
low, the Durham National Portland
Cement Oo's chemist, was given aver -m
dict for $500 against the Durha
Chronicle for libel. The Chronicle a
short time ago had soave very vigorous
articles opposing the proposed plan of
moving the cement plant from Dur-
ham and accusing the plaintiff and
lse
others of making a fareport as to
the amount of marl near Durham,
The Chronicle also insinpated that the
plaintiff bad entered into a scheme
with others to depreciate the value of
the stock in order that certain parties
might. buy it up and gain control. It
was also insinuated that the plaintiff,
was purchasable.
The Seaforth Expositor commenting
on the result of a curling contest in
that town recently in which Mr. Wm.
Pickard, a former Exeter resident,
and Mr. Wm. McDougall, Jr., played
the final game to decide the winner of
a 35 pound turkey and the champion-
ship, says: "Wbilewe congratulate Mr.
McDougall on his triumph we can't re-
sist the temptation to say that it is al-
most a pity to Waste so fine a bird on
a bachelor. The competition should be
confined to married 'nen with families
and young unmarried men and old
bachelors should be excluded from a
competition for so useful •- a prize."
With all due respect to our -former
townsmen, likewise our contemporary
and being in the same boat as•Mr..Me-
Dougall we feel that we must, in jus-
tice to our chosen state of single hies-
sedness, rebuke such ungenerous re-
marks. Think of it, "It is a pity to
waste so fine a bird on a bachelor."
Just as though a bachelor could not
appreciate a good thing with satisfac-
tion equal to the benedict. We must
draw the line when men who have lost
their liberty shake their matrimonial
fetters in our faces and insist that they
are the only ones to enjoy the'good
things of life. We consider there is
an apology due from our unfriendly
critic and unless it is forthcoming we
shall be obliged to consider an indig-
nation meeting. Beware, Bro.McLean.
