Snell, The maiden name of the deceased k was Elizabeth Cottle. She was born in .Somersetshire, Eng., and when a young girl came to Canada with her parents. For many years she re- sided in. Usborne Township. The deceased was married three tines. Her first husband was Alfred Char- ley and from this union two sons and two daughters survive, Mrs,. J. Parsons, of town, Wm. J. Charley, of Grants Rapids, Mich., and Samuel certain acresf" notion that a c .cit 0 o Charley,,. of Flint, Mich„ and Mrs. land .just west of Exeter would make T. 'Cousins, of London. Following an excellent game sanctuary. On application to the Game and Fisher- ies Department, at Toronto, they were informed that on securing the. signatures of the owners involved the land would be set aside for that pur-$ther also survive, George, of White - pose. Accordingly a petition was church; Mrs. Jane Gannet, of Imo - drafted and the signature of the owners is being secured. Itis to be hoped that all the owners will sign. Out . of the thousands of acres of game land west and northwest of Exeter the setting aside of one block would not be ahaidship on 'either hunters or trappers. Unless some- thing is done to provide a safety spot for animals, birds and fish there is going to be a scarity of life in our -woods and streams. A hav- en. of this kind is necessary and no more ideal spot can be found in Hu- ron County. The block is so situated too; that it would be difficult for one, who would try to evade the law, to do so successfully, as the: road all around is fairly well travelled. The 'district to he set apart: is an ideal one for the purpose, in the (M- inton of those qualified to judge. it would comprise 1000 acres of wood land and streams, bounded on the north by the lake road; on the south by the Huron sideroad, 'on the east by the fifth concession, and on the west by the sixth concession, and is in the heart of the county surround- ed by'the villages of Centralia, Credi- ton, Dashwood and Exeter, which would thus give these nzunielpaiities a pesonal interest inthe game pre- serve. It abounds with water, both flow- ing and still; with many different kinds of trees, both standing and: down; •low and high spots, marshes and than ground, dense thickets and open. spaces, and plenty, of food for wild life, In fact, it has been a hav- en of safety for some years for them and sportsmen would like to see it made a secure and permanent refuge for the defenseless wild life yet left, F'IFTY-THIRD YEAR, NO; 2 PAPER DELAYED Owing to the sleet storm the hy- dro power was off piaci ti lly day Wednesday.
