Hicks' Forcasts For October. A reactionary storm period is cent- ral on the 10th, 11th and 12th. Look at this time for rising temperature,fall- ing barometer and return of cloudiness and autumnal rains and gales. These autumnal storm areas will almost cer- tainly bring severe to dangerous dis- turbances over the northern lakes. Let those concerned note this warning. Renewed high barometer and change to colder will progress eastwardly from about the llth to the 15t3. A regular storm period covers the 16th to the 20th. In all probability this will prove one of the most severe to dangerous storm periods of this month if not the whole autumn. Many sections will be visited with high to violent gales, all followed by sudden revulsion to rising barometer, with snow and marked change to colder over northern sec- tions. Frosts will work into central to southern regions from the 18th to the 22nd, or dates touching. The 17th is another seismic period, extending from the 15th to the 20th. This is a' most probable time when some more earthquake "'faults" will conclude to "let go." 4-1.444-14-1-1:44++++++++++++++4 4. Suitillgs q. and 4. 4.

A cablegram was received here Tues- day announcing the severe illness of Mrs. JamesJeckell, who left here a few weeks ago for a sojourn in the land of her birth, for the benefit of her health. Her many friends here will wish to hear soon of her speedy recovery. Among the handsome presents re- ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Baker on the occasion of their Golden Wedding were a gold -headed cane to the former and a gold -headed parasol to the lat- ter. These articles were beautifully engraved with their initials and the dates 1856-1906. On Monday afternoon the frame stable belonging to Mr. John Herbert, Market Street, Exeter North, was burned to the ground. The origin of the fire is unknown. The fire brigade was quickly on hand and succeeded in preventing the fire spreading to the other buildings. It is stated on the most reliable au- thority that Exeter's grain market has seen farmers during the last few weeks, who had not previously been on the market for years. Some have come from points much nearer to other towns than to Exeter. A good market means much to a town. Rally Day for the Sunday School of the James Street church on Sunday afternoon was a pleasant affair part- icularly for the children. The meeting was held in the body of the church.

Word has been received that Miss Jessie Robertson, a former teacher in the Exeter school, who disappeared so completely at Quebec some weeks ago, has been located in Buffalo.

The former got first place in the second series, while the latter got fourth in the third series.

The great weight of snow falling on the trees, which have not yet lost their foliage, caused many limbs and in places whole trees to be broken down; Here and there the wires also are down. The' loss in fruit trees, particularly where the fruit has not been picked, will be considerable. W. C. '1', U. Convention. • The ninth annual convention of the Hnron County W. 0. T.

Hooper, Secretary. Charles such is. Dead. Death came suddenly to the home of one of Exeter's best known citizens early Thursday morning last and re- moved therefrom the spirit of Charles Snell, sr., at the "age of 70 years, 4 months and 17 days. The deceased had been ill for several weeks of kid- ney trouble, but for the greater part of the time was able to be about, until a little over a week before his demise when he was forced to retire to bis bed and although his condition was considered serious his end was not looked for so soon. Everything possi- ble was done for the patient and on Wednesday a nurse was sent for but without avail, death ending his suffer- ings about 1 a.m. Thursday, Mr. Snell was a widely known gentleman, high- ly respected and of strict integrity. During his life he had followed several occupations among which were shoe- making, school teaching, clerking, and for the last twenty-five years he had been the agent of .the Express Com- pany, as well as enjoying a large in- surance business. For several years Mr. Snell was a Justice of the Peace and Clerk of the Division Court which positions he occupied in a most credit- able manner. In politics he was a staunch Liberal and in religion a faith- ful Methodist. For many years he was the leader of the James street choir and superintendent of the Sunday school. His first wife was Miss Mary Ann Brooks, who predeceased him sev- eral years, and his second wife was Miss Susan Passmore who survives and has the sympathy of the many friends. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Geo. Samwell. The funer- al took place to the Exeter cemetery on Saturday afternoon under the aus- pices of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, of which order Mr. Snell had been for many years a member.

Good Words for Advocate and Exeter TO EDITORS OF EXETER ADVOCATE Allow me to congratulate you on the enterprise and good taste exercised in the production of the Trade Supple- ment to the Exeter Advoeote, This is a step in the right direction and will be of far reaching benefit to every cit- izen of Exeter, When we consider the radius covered by the Advocate as in case of the'writer over two hundred miles from Exeter and undoubtedly some a much greater distance, setting forth the advantages of Exeter as a desirable place for manufacturers to locate, we can see the value of it; or when we take into consideration the geographical position of Exeter, its nearness to the lake port having the shortest distance to travel to.reach the great markets of the west made great by the influx of population which rs yet only in its infancy. Twenty years ago when all the important markets were in the east Exeter stood at a dis- advantage, but things have changed and Exeter stands nearer to the best market than do any of our Ontario cities. The C.P.R. has seen the ad- vantage of this and is making every preparation to open the shortest possi- ble way to the West by way of Gode- rich and it is understood that they are arranging to put on a line of boats from Goderich to Port Arthur and Fort William, When this is done Wes- tern Ontario manufacturers will have a great advantage over those of the east as they will save a long haul over rail to reach the lake port, and few places are situated better than Exeter, being only thirty miles from Goderich. Force of circumstances will also com- pel the 0.P.R to put in other branches leading to Goderich from a more southerly direction and as the branch from Ingersoll to St. Marys is now . an assured thing chances for Exeter to be in a direct line are certainty good. • Yours S.M.S. Dashwood Mr. Fred Ehlers of Berlin, a former resident of this place, has been visit- ing his son and other relatives and friends during past week. -Much sym- pathy is felt for Mr. Winkenweder's family. Four of the household are down with typhoid fever. We hope nothing serious may result and that in a short time they may all be restored to their former health. -Mr. Jacob Ehlers of Chicago is at present visiting his parents here, corning home on San - day at noon quite unexpectedly.' It was certainly a pleasant surprise.-. Last Sunday at the close of theSunday School the Temperance committee gave a very appropriate and interest- ing program consisting of singing, reading and addresses. At the close of the program an opportunity was given to sign the pledge, to which one boy responded. The names of those who had already signed the pledge was then read by the Secretary which showed that quite a number have al- ready become total abstainers. -Won- der if the committee could'nt get Car- rie Nation just for once. -Next Sunday evening Rev. L. K, Eidt commences a series of sermons on the Ten Command- ments. Every one who can should hear this entire series. t• HAVING RENTED 1 1 Mr. W. G. Bissett's grain storehouse and placed Mr. Chas.
