Rev. Anderson of London was the preacher for the day, and his sermons were of a high order and listened to with rapt at- tention The evening sermon on the subject "Fatherhood of God" was especially good. The music furnished by thechoir' was bright and interest- ing. Besides the, choruses a quartette was given by Misses Edna. Follick, Mabel Follick, Eva Huston, and Mrs. Elston, and a.solo by Miss Edna Fol - lick. ` Thereceipts were very grati- fying ,.to the officials, being slightly over ,$575.

These include: (1) The benefit to be derived :eons road improvement. (2) Thekind of roads considered desir- able for the loeality represented. (3) The sources from which revenue for roads should be derived, (4) The val- ue of statute labor.

(Eng.) "Flying Post," in which Creat Lakes the following article appears under the above heading. The Editor of The.

Many Wrecks on, We are in recei p To the: Editor of the "Flying Post." Sir,—It has just fallen to my lot to visit the pretty and delightful Iowa of Exeter, Ontario; and I feel that as an olcl resident in ye ancient city. of Exeter England'; it would be. fitting to give soime particulars "of this, the newest town with the. name 'of the "Ever Faithful," I went' without a flourish of trumpets, but no sooner "registered' c 'ste ec a � theCentral hall rel r 1C r g t Ho- tel than I was greeted an all sides by the leading men of the town. This good feeling had been tendered and accepted by our good tithes, Mi•, Harry Hems'' and also Mr. Alfred Wheaton who bad been lucky enough to strike this town in their extended travels some time previously. Exeter Ontario, is very beautifully situated and is a bright, modern, up- to-date town of some 1700 persons, many of whom ,are from Devon'hire. The are a very happy and generous lot of folks, and when a stranger ar- rives . their spontaneous generosity avid hospitality are unbounded. The English church is a very . handsome structure o: brick and stones, the woodwork being of New Brunswick pine The church is known as ' the "Trivitt' Memorial . Church, and was built about 25 years ago. It •"'.yas a square tower, about 100 feet "high containing the only peal of bells in Ontario Evidently ,Trivitt, the gen- erous donor, wished to reproduce in new Exeter some of the beauties he remembered inoocl old Devon '•as he was a Devonian.) In this far-off land one ofthe difficulties is to . get the ringers. The Rector (the Rev. Collins) ,is a man of fine character, and has the welfare of his church and city deeply at heart, At 'tis invita- tion I enjoyed an opportunity of viewing the beautiful scenery of the surrounding country from the church. tower supplemented by half -an -hour's delightful .talk with the rev. gentle- man, He :highly praised the district and assures' me of the splendid farms that are to be had "eight here" really 'oocl farms of 100 acres with good hriQe ""villa" farm -houses,' together with barns, outbuildings, etc., for a trifle over thousand pounds, :free -hold These farms are not isolated, but are within a mile ox so of a town. There are good roads, telephones laid to the farm -houses; and ` a letter box at the gate to the farm, where letters are delivered and fetched every. day. The Rev. Collins, Rector of Exeter, On- tario, will gladly correspond with any who would like to make this district theii future home. The land is very favorable for raising horses, cattle, t. and chicken, 'besides apples, . plums, etc. The Methodists and Presbyterians are strong in this district, and I liad the pleasure of meeting both pastors and found them good practical fellows Masonry and other social societies are strong here, and I can assure my intending to come out that they will feel quite at home with the good folk here. • There is a good demand for labor, especially farm hands and domestic help. ;The beautiful flag sent''out here by the Exeter ity Council some four years ago' is.highly prized, and I was told personally that the residents were greatly pleased with. the 'magnificent quality of the flag sent, feeling that theirs was insignificent; ,but it is not the value of the gift, but the thought that prompted it. One suggestion, Mr. Editor, and I done. Tlx: young folks of . Exeter, Ontario, would greatly appreciate it if some of the school children of Ex- eter .England, would' correspond with them' Here is a grand chance for,. say ,St, John's School, St. Sidwell's, and some others, as well as some of the young ladies' schools to come to the front, Exeter, Ontario, is patriot- ic and enthusiastically British and Devonian, and it is "up to" Exeter, England, to encourage and aid that spirit: Mr: N, Dyer Hurdon or the Rev. Collins, Exeter, Ontario, would. receive letters in the first place, and hand them to young folks; to reply. Thanking you, and hoping I have not made too great a trespass upon, your space, Believe me, Yours faithfully, 'W, A. GARDNER. P. S.—Perhaps you, sir, would re- ceive the, letters from the school children in Exeter, England, and for-, ward them in bulk to the two cat- tlemen I name or to the Editor of The 'Advocate, Exeter, Ontario. (We shall be very pleased to for- ward any ;letters • which pupils of schools in Exeter may send us,— Ed. F.P.)' (We too; -Ed. Advocate.) M'AN' "t,•IODIES FOUND ON THE SHORE OF LAICE HURON, The terrible storm of 'Sunday re- sulted in a score of ship wrecks an the Great Lakes, many of them being' near here on the east shore of Lake Huron Great loss of life has been. caused. It is expected to reach 60 or 70 in number. About twenty bod- ies have been recovered on the shore from St. Joseph to Kettle Point, and it is considered that the half of the. loss and damage is not yet known, Some of the losses, en Lake Huron are,—Steamer Wexford, wrecked off St. Joseph. 23 probably dead.; the Steamers Charles F. Price and Edwin F. Holmes, wrecked near Goderich; Steamer NorthernQueen, wrecked o n Kettle Pottt, Overturned freighter in Lake Huron, near Sarnia, 30 believed dead;; Steamers Regina, and A. H, Hass wrecked on shore north of Sarnia, The damage to property will run into many hundreds of thousands of dollars; THE SCOTT ACT VOTE For the past week there, has been considerable doubt as to the day on which Huron, Peel, and Welland world vote an The Scott Act, Nov- ember 24th was favored 'oy the Gov- ern me:at as the date, but it has been postponed until January, because it bas been found necessary in order to comply with the Act that the pro- posal to take a vote must be adver- tised for a giver period before the 'vote is actually polled. As it was lis - covered that November 24th was too early a date to make it possible to comply with this section, it was de- cided to postpoine the contest until January An endeavor has been made to show that the liquor interests were being favored by the .authorities, who happen to be Conservatives, but it has developed that the whole agitation is nothing more than the Globe and a dew rabid Liberals trying to stir' up a. little trouble. It is an openquestion thatwould have to be settled in the courts as to whether a defeat of the Scott Act in Huron County would not automat- ically put municipalities now ander Local Option in .'a position to have licenses rranted; that is, it is pos- sible, that a defeat of the Scott :act would also act as a repeal of Local Option Eminent lawyers have given their opinion that such would be the case, but the question has never been decided in the courts. I•t would un- doubtedly have to be whits settled should these conditions arise. A HEAVY STORM An old-time storm of considerable magnitude set in Sunday about two o'clock first with heavy sleet anti snow, followed towards the evening by a binding snow storm, which kept, up the howl well into Monday, The wind blew with great velocity and; consider- able snow fell. The roads were made almost impassable in some of the %.tire rounding country, and telegraphic dis- patches saythat much damage has been .done to telegraph and telephone wires while sevefal railway aed ,,hip wrecks have resulted from the storm 11 this .is a sample of what the nex few months are to be,' we will rer•: taioly have "some" winter% • TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY• The lapse of a year"since the chur- ches of Ontario observed Tubercul- osis Sunday shows great advance in the strength of the movement, to judge by the preparations which ere being made throughout, Ontario for the services on Sunday, Nov, 3(}th.
