Journal of Last week say: "Last week
Rt a school at few miles out of town
the teacher asked the cines what the
tow?' of Exeter was noted for, at once
a ho -'s hand went up with that eager
conlideece which knowledge always
gives, and at the teachers \Nell, my
cagy? replied. Flour. The answer ex-
peeted was salt. but this boy was evi-
dently better informed than his teach-
er. While the teacher's expected
answer would have been correct it few
years ngo, to -day flour is certainly
doing more to make Exeter fatuous
than +alt, and we think it high time
that all teacher,. shunts profit by this
iaay's intelligence and teaeh that it ie
flour and not salt that takes first place
in Exeter's industries."

"Woman as a Citizen" was the title
of an interesting address delivered by
1)1.. Stowe -(sullen before the House-
hold Economic Association in the Nor -
School, Toronto. Dr. Stowe -Gel -
len spoke especially on Woman suf-
frage. and emphasized the fact that if
women were given the opportimity of
voting better men would be elected,
because woolen were not, tied to the
parties. As an illustration I)e. Gullet)
briefly referred to New Zealand, where
the ballots of woolen, she declared,
were instrumental to a great extent
in purifying the Government. Fifty
year's ago the position of women polit-
ically and socially, was that of a bond
slave to her husband, but now she
held a prominent place in the indus-
trial and social world. Dr. Gullen be-
lieved that, although woman was still
disfranchised, the day was not far dis-
tant when they would also have the
privilege of casting a ballot. -Press
Superintendent.
Death of Mrs. Connor.
On Thursday of last week the death
took place in town of Margaret Gil-
gan, wife of James Connor, at the age
of lf'2 years, 9 months and 10 days. De-
ceased with her husband had been a
resident of town for only a few months
having come here to retire from farm
life in November of last year. During
the previous 32 years they had been
actively engaged in farming near
Chiselhurst, and while there and since
their removal to town. Mrs. Connor
had gained many friends who will re-
gret to hear of her demise. She was
a native of Canada having been born
in Hastings County. While for the
greater part of her life she has enjoy-
ed the best of health, during the last
six months she had been troubled with
cancer. Only during the last week
had she been confined to her room.
Besides the husband, four sons and
two daughters seryive, all of whom
are grown up. Two of the sons etre
residents of Exeter, being skilled
machinists. The funeral took place
on Friday to McTaggart's cemetery.
Electric Light Plant Damaged.
The town ibis a ran .a..iarkttess,as far
as the absence of electric lights could
snake it so, since Friday evening last.
Some miscreant having a knowledge
of the pretnises and also some knowl-
edge of the working of the dynamos
undertook to put the plant out of
business sometime during Friday and
succeeded in doing so. Both the dyn-
amo that runs the Arc lights and that
which supplies the electricity Inc the
incandescents, were hampered with.
The former had some lead wires dis-
arranged, and was easily fixed by
Messrs. Connor Bros., but the latter
was damaged considerably. Appar-
ently a nail, a chisel. or a Isle had been
used to separate and destroy some of
the bunches of insulated wires on the
dynamo, thus destroying the circuit,
and also making a hole into which a
handful of sand was placed. In this
way the machine was so damaged
that it became necessary to send to
Peter horn' fur 0 new part. The estim-
ated loss to Mr. Steell will be between
$100 and $150. fie has a suspieinn as
to who the guilty patty is, and some.
thing in the way of an arrest may be
expected.
Hicks Forecasts for May.
'fhe storm period, 41h to 9th, will be
ushered in as early as the 4th with de-
cided and rapid change to '.varnler in
all parts westward. The barometer
will shoe marked atmospheric depres-
sions in the same regions, and as these
conditions increase and move east-
ward over the country, n series of de-
cided rain, hail. wind mud thunder
etlt•ttts will begin, repeating them-
selves in many localities for several
suecessivedaiys, leading u) to the Rth
or Oth. No sane. unbiased person will
consider it "sensetional" to say that
danger will probably attend sore of
these stomas, and those who calmly
and wisely weigh these probabilities,
will suffer the least anxiety. and most
sorely escape bodily harm and materi-
al loss. Along with the t ising barome-
ter and clearing weather, at the cessa-
tion of this storm period, frosts may
to looked for in many central to no th-
ern seetiens. say from about the 9th
to the 12th. A maximum of earth.
quake and seismic dist anbances will
almost certainly t'e felt in many parts
of the globe within and near the litn-
its of this period. -

millionaire, Mr. Geo. A. Kernick. is
again visiting his sister, Mrs. Jas.
Tota, and other friends here, after a
sojourn of several months with his
daughter, Mrs. Thos. Kernick, of Par-
ry Sound, who accompanied him here
to visit for a short time. .'11r. Kern -
ick is looking hale and hearty and is
apparently enjoying the hest of health.
Being possessed of a genial. generous
and kindly disposition and having
shared to a considerable extent the
hprosperity and good -fortune his son
as been 80 abundantly blessed with,
many acts and deeds of his kindly na-
ture will be long remembered by the
subjects of his charitable and com-
mendable acts of generosity and be-
nevolence. Few then to -day with even
greater means have half so big a heart
as this old-time resident of Huron.
Rank Cheeses
For some time past it has been gen-
erally known that Mr. F. E. karn,
Manager of the Sovereign Bank here,
was to be removed to the new branch
now being established in Lindon.
The change we understand is to take
place in a few clays. Mr. Karn has
been manager of this branch since its
establishment and by his genial and
obliging disposition, coupled with
his many other good qualities, lie has
made hosts of friends. His business
tact, good judgment :and true busi-
ness principles fit him thoroughly for
his calling; and it is largely due to
these gond qualities in the local mana-
ger that the Sovereign Bank of Can-
ada has been so prosperous and shared
so liberally in the banking business
done in this locality. The tacancy
is to he tilled by Mr. Jos. Snell, now
manager of the branch of the same
hank at, Dashwood, who comes highly
recommended, lie is as man of long
banking experience, of unquestionable
ability, one who will retain the large
patronage the bank now enjoys and
a roan who will cnmm;u)d the re-
spect of every person. As a citizen
we walcome stint to our midst. Mes-
srs. E. Grant and A. wood, who have
been engaged at this branch will ac-
company Mr. Karn to London, while
Mr. limiter, of %Vynieing, son of Mr.
John Hunter, of Usborue, will fill one
of the vacancies here.
