PostOffice Site
Mr. Dawson, of the Public Works
Department, Ottawa,was in town
Tuesday cin connection with the loca-
tion of the site for the new Post
office provided for in the .recent esti-
mates brouglet down by the Govern-
ment,: After viewing the proposed
sites he was emphatically decided in
his opinion that the Davis site was
the one most suited for its location.
In, an interview with Mr. Dawson he
said to the Advocate that in going over
the town he was strongly of the
opinion that the greater portion of
the business of Exeter was, done south
of the present post office, therefore
he had no hesitation in arriving at
his conclusion in making the Davis'
Property : his selection. It was not so
mac..( a matter of central location in
a town but rather to locate it in, the
business centre as near as possible::
This being the case the decision of
;VIr. Dawson should be a'satisfactory
solution as to the site and should meet
he approval of all. It is, not so much
a matter of location as it is to get
this much needed public building,.
therefore the best of harmony and;
good feeling should exist, Mr. Daw-
son further informed the Advocate
that there "would be considerable de-
tail work to be Josie, but he prom-
ised it would be prosecuted as speed-
ily as possible.

DIED AT 102.
There "passedaway at his home,
Hurorstreet, on Wednesday after-
nooti •ol' last week, Jan. 28, Mr. \lark
Makins, Exeter's oldest resident, he
having attained the great age of 102
years ,For some years the deceased
had been confined to his home from
the infirmities of old age, but consid-
ering his advanced years his health
was comparatively good up to with-
in a few months of his, demise. Born
in Norfolk England, deceased came
to Canada when fourteen years ri
ager, first " settling in Dundas County.
Here he remained until he was 26
years of age, when he married Eliz-
abeth Dinsniore,and moved to the
Township of Usborne, settling on
Lot 11, Con. 11. At this time the
Township of Usborne still remained
in its almost virgin state of unbroken
forest and Mr. Makiins being of a
particular hardy and robust ,nature and!
being among the pioneer settlers con-
tributed more than the average share
towards 'transforming the unbroken
wilderness into the beautiful farms.
and homes so much enjoyed by the
younger generation. About .28 years
ago Mr. Makins" was bereft of his ag-
ed partner in life and two years tat-
er he retired from the farm and mov-,
ed to Exeter, where he has continu-
ously resided since. Se me two years
after moving to Exeter he married his -
secant' wife, Jennie -Nevin of Stanley,
by whom he is survived, together
with five daughters by his first wife
and two 'by the latter respectively-
Mrs, Finch of Wiarton; Mrs. Benyon
of Alberta; Mrs. Watkins of Edmon-
ton; Mrs, Wm. Welsh of Londonarid
Mrs. Jas Cockwill of Crediton; Miss
Margaret and Katie at home, The
funeral which was private took place
to the Kirktort Cemetery of Friday.

A fierce and bitter storm's abroad
it is a bleak mid -winter day, and
slowly o'er the frozen sod the post-
man's pony picks its 'way. The post-
man and his horse are cold, but fear-
lessly they face the gale; through
storms increase a hundred fold, the
£arm folk must have their mail, The
bouts drag on, the lonely road grows
rougher with each mile that's past.
the weary pony feels its load, and
staggers in. the shrieking blast. But
man and horse strive on the -pore;
they never teamed' such word as fail;
though tempests beat and torrents
pour, the farmer folk must : have hien'
mail, At night the potty, to its c;hed,
drags on its cold, exhausted frame;
amc1 after supper, to hes bed the
wears' postman does the same, To-
morrow brings the same old round
the same cxhaustittg, thankless grind,

bitter wind. The postman does a
hero's stunt to tarn his scanty toll
of kale; of all the storms he '...ars

Immediately upon the going 'nto ef-
fect of: the Canada Temperance Act
the Provincial Government ceases to

latus against illegal liquor selling and
the •Dominion Government assumes re-

employed by the. Ontario Government
will be withdrawn, the. Provincial Gov

the proper interpretation, as Hon. W,

ported to have stated "Thatthese

take effect until a year later. Then
when the temperance act comes into
effect the inspectors go out. Enforce -

Is history repeating itself?
"It was a famous victory."
It is going to be a "dry" summer
The Great I)rougbt is due on May
1st,
There were 85 spoiled ballots in the
County vote on Scott Act.
Wanted -Jobs for the License In-
Spector and License Commissioners.
;)hose municipalities under both
Local Option and Scott Act will be
very very. dry.
There are at present 32 hotellicen-
ses and two shon licenses in Huron.
a -id these will expire on May lst*n.ext
The official' retuens give 7'410 for
the act and 4802 votes against, being
2.00e more votesthan polled in lee34
althrou2h the polulation is now eonsid
erablh smaller.
Considerable doubt exists as to who,
enforces- the taw under the C. T. A.
Some claim that the same commis-
sioners and inspectors do so, others
that they are withdrawn, and special
officers are appointed to enforce the
law. .:
A report from Wivngham states that
Mr. Bernie Doyle, proprietor of the
National Hotel, -.has boarded up his
Hotel sheds from the public ; also Mr:
Jobe Swartz of the Queen's Hotel has
put down, posts and hung iron gates
to the entrance of all his public sheds -

Welland a wet majority of 6. The
first report gave Welland a dry ma-

changed it to sit the other way, one
