Our hardware merchants report a greater demand and more sales of coal stoves than for any previous year, which means that wood wilt be in less demand next year. and thosewhtehave many cords to sell, should take ad vantage of the good price now being paid and haul to market at once.

He died instantaniously of neuraligia of the heart, from which he suffered for nearly two years. Deceased was ones the best known farmers in Stephen. He was a unique character in the sec- tion. He neyer married. In polities he might be termed a . radical Tory, In religion, a liberal. Nature gave. him a good deal of radieolism, tradltion add education a good deal of toryism. He was born 'with a big liberal brain. Rough, ready, critical, big hearted charitable,, generous, tender as a wo man, warm in his ,sympathies, hating affectation and hypocrisy as he bated poison, quick in denunciation of wrong quick to forgive the wrong doer, weep ing at pain and sorrow, laughing with irrepressible humor at the ludicious episodes of life, a staunch friend and a forgiving critic, his sudden death is much lamented. He reminded one of the unpolished diamond -rough on the exterior, yet the fine and brilliant qualities of the true man, ever shone forth through the unpolished surface. Wm. Sanders was in reality one of na ture's noblemen. He was never acs cased of doing a mean, unkind, dis- honest, dishouerable or cowardly act. Many a tale will be told in the years to corns of some of hia generous deeds. He regarded death as a friend, not as a foe,that eventually relieved us of the weary struggle of life. He always expressed the wish to die suddenly without suffering, and so it was. His remains were ieter,<ed on Tuesday, :at Crediton. The funeral cortege was large and representative, His rela- tives hate the sympathy of the corns inanity. The battle of life it over, he fought it bravely and dreaded not its end. Boy Wanted.

It is our mournful and melancholy duty to pen the death of one of Exe- ter's oldest and much respected citizens in the person of Richard Iiandford,who passed from this transitory life at an early hour Tuesday morning. His age was 83 years 8 months and 16 days. He has been a healthy man nearly all his life, hardly knowing what a days sickness was until the affliction, which terminated his life, came on him on Wednesday week. His first attack was a slight cold, but it was not anticipa- ted serious until he began to show signs of fast decay and all possible means both by care and medical treat- ment was resorted to but no human power could avert the stroke of death,. Deceased was born in Devonshire, Eng 1809 and came to Canada in 1831: Af- ter making Toronto his home for about two years he mored on the premises, Lot. 8, con. 1, (London Road.) A few years after he arrived on the farm, he was married to Miss Dorothy Bissett,his surviving partner, where they remain ed 34 years enduring all the hardships incident to the clearing, up of a new country. Like all others they had their trials and difficulties; but with patience, perseverance, erse e ranee and work k they were in time overcome. At the expiration of 34 years they moved to Exeter and remained here for a short time, after which they took up their abode in Manitoba. Not liking that country they returned again to Exeter, and re mained until death separated them. He leaves a grown up family of eight children to mourn his ''demise.` His funeral takes place to -day (Thursday) at 2 o'clock. The bereaved wife and family have the sympathy of the com- munity in this their sad trial of afflic- tion Council Proceedings. The Council met at the . Town Hall, Exeter, Feb.' 8th, 1893.
