The hast storm period of the month

storms and seismic disturbances. Tho
crisis of these disturbances will fall
about Saturday, Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. the 25th to the 28th, but pro-
tracted storms of sleet and snow
not thw,ud, with much rain southward
will 'nest probably continue through
the closing days of November. A very
decided dash of early winter will at-
tend the western tangents of these
stot nis,sending crisp, autumnal weath-

We find that in addition to the two
men whohavebeen already mentioned,
Dr. Browning and E. H. Fish, as hav-
ing been in htisiness in Exeter in the

years, there are others. T. H. Mc-

The same good result applies to other

customers decided nn a more central
location. Mr. Wright has also moved
his family down town and has taken
up his residence in the dwelling owned

of them he was highly respected. Mr.
Wm. Pugsley of town was at one time

Raymond & Poore's Company put
on that old favorite "East Lynne' in
the. Opera House on Wednesday of last
week to a fair-sized house. The com-

several of whom formed the orchestra.
The cast of characters was a fairly
good one. Irene Taylor as Lady Isa-
bel, Jack Poore as Sir Francis Levison
the eillian, and Ora Mock as Barbara
Hare were good in their respective
parts, while the others filled in very
well. Their method of securing the
full 35 cents from all who attended by
demanding an extra 10 cents at the top
of the stairway was not exactly the
proper thing, at least that is the opin-
ion of the boys, and indeed, it was
small business.
Presbytery of Herottt.
The Presbytery of Huron met in the
First Presbyterian church, Seaforth,
on Nov. 14th. Dr. Stewart of Clinton
was appointed Moderator for the next
six months. It was decided to bold
missionary services in each congrega-
tion before the next meeting. John
Fraser of Baytield was recognized as
a catechist of the church. The annual
report of the W. F. M. S. was received
and a resolution of congratulations
was adopted in reply. The Finance
committee reported that 10 cents per
family would be necessary to tweet
Presbyterial expenses for the coating
year. A conference will be held on
Sabbath school work in connection
with the next meeting of the Presby-
tery in Willis church, Clinton, on the
third Tuesday of January next.
Presetrtatiett.
General regret is expressed at the
departure of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Gur-
ney who have been residents of Exeter
during the past three years, and dur-
ing that time have succeeded in mak-
ing tnany friends. Mr. Gurney leaves
next week for Calgary where he has
secured a good situation in a large dry
goods store. Mrs. Gurney was called
to her home In Acton on Tuesday ow-
ing to the death of her grandfather,
John McMachon. She with her little
son will reside in Acton until the spring
when they will join Mr. Gurney. The
Main street church choir, of which Mr.
Gurney has been leader for some time
met for a social evening at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. McCallum on
Friday last and there presented then
with a farwell address and tokens of
esteem—a pair of gold link cuff -but-
tons and case to Mr. Gurney and a
souvenir spoon of Exeter to Mrs. Gur-
ney.

Last (Wednesday) evening the resi-
dence of Mr. James Gould, Sr., Huron
street. was the scene of a very pleas-
ing event. We refer to the marriage
of his fourth daughter, Miss Gertrude
M., to Mr.Joseph Hilderley of Brooks -
dale. At 7:30 o'clock the guests assem-
bled in the parlor where the nuptial
knot was securely tied by the Rev. A.
II. Going. The bride was very pretti-
ly attired in a fawn costume and was
attended by her cousin, Miss 011ie
Gould, while the bride's brother, Mr.
Fred Gould, of Seaforth, acted as best
man. The ceremony being over all
sat down to it well provided repast.
The remainder of the evening was very
pleasantly spent in games and social
intercourse. The gifts. presented to
the bride, were numerous as well as
useful and costly. Mr. and Mrs. Hii-
derley left this (Thursday) morning for
their future home in Brooksdale where
the groom is a tiller of the soil. The
Advocate joins with the many friends
in wishing the happy eonple a long

At Hone
A large assemblage of the members
tof the Wonrans Institute gathered at
the honie of Dr. Athos on Monday af-
ternoon in honor of Mrs. Gurney, the
Vice -President and Librarian, who is
about to leave for her new home in
the Nest. They availed themselves
of this opportunity to convey to her
the high esteem in which she was held
as a valued member and officer. Dur-
ing the afternoon a choice program
was rendered and a luncheon served,
after which an address was rears and
presented by the president, Miss Halls.
Mrs. Gurney replied in a very warm
and touching manner which indicated
what it meant to sever the social ties
that had been formed. The address is
as follows:—
Exeter, Nov. 20, 1005.
To Mrs. R. J. Gurney.
Dear Mrs. Gurney,—We, the ntent-
bets of the Woman's institute of Ex-
eter, learn with deep regret that you

blessing and a joy to others as you
