Forecasts for August.
A reactionary storm period is cent-
ral on August the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,
embracing the full Moon at a total
eclipse node on the 4th. This period
will culminate, within forty-eight
hours of noon on the4th,in very mark-
ed electrical and seismic perturbations
over many quarters of the globe. In
our own country, a wave of intense
warmth. attended by very low barom-
eter reading=, will start in the west at
the opening of the month. As this
wave advances eastward, many violent,
summer gusts, with severe lightning
and thunder, will sweep wide localities,
being most general and violent from
the northwestern states along paths
lying between the central to extreme
northern parts of the country.
Real Estate Change.
On Thursday last Mr. T. E. Hand-
ford sold his house and lot on Senior
street. his sale stables on Andrew
street and his fifty -acres of pasture
land to the east of the town, to
and Mr. Chas. Hackney of Thames
Road, Usborne. for $8,500. Mr. Hand -
ford's goodwill in the horse dealing
business is included in the transaction,
with the exception of his Winnipeg
beying,which he will continue indefin-
itely. During the last few years he
has doing a remarkably heavy business
in the buying and selling of horses.
Through him and other buyers Exeter
has become known far and wide as an
exceptionally good market for horse-
flesh. His health has not been of the
best of late and with the pressure of
business lessened somewhat it is to be
hoped that he will entirely recover.
Mr. Hackney is a man of good quali-
ties, and with a little coaching will be
able to do his share in the business
which he has purchased. We welcome
him to the business circle of Exeter.
