Mr. Jas. Dignan recently added a
tasty verandah to bis residence. Messrs
Spicer & Snell are now repainting the
house which will add much to the ap-
pearance of the premises.
Messrs. Chan John and Eli. Snell cap-
tured six patridges and two rabbits in

former gentleman was troubled with a
lame knee for a few days since but is
all right now.

Detective Day, of the Grand Trunk,
says that never before in his experience
were there so many crooks on the road.
Depressions in the crowded centres in

The programs are out announcing
the annual Institute meeting of the
teachers of West Huron which will be
held in the Model School Goderich, on
Friday and Saturday, Nov, 24 and 25,

will be present and deliver a lecture
on "Reminiscences of Eminent Cana-
dians."
While Mr. W. A. Gregory was oper
ating the shaping machine in Ross &
Taylor's plar.ing mill, lase Tuesday he
had the tips of his left hand fingers
badly mangled. When informing us
of the accident, he was not sure wheth-
er the injuries were caused by the cut-
ting knives, or by the piece of timber
he was then working on.
While Mr. Henry Buckingham was
loading wood on Friday last he received
a blow that might have cost him his
life. It seems he had engaged Mr. Thos
Snell to help move'. his household ef-
fects to his father premises and when
loading the wood Mr. Snell by some
means threw a stick which struck him
on the'forehead, which knocked him
insensible, The blood oozed from the
wound very freely and it was with
some difficulty that it was stopped.
The' result of the fine cheese compe-
tition at the World's Fair was publish-
ed Saturday night, and is of startling
significance to all interested in the
dairy industry of the Dominion. Cheese
was judged by two United States and.
one Canadian judge. In class for Ched-
dar cheese, made previous to 1893,Can-
ada won 103 awards and the United
States not one. In classes for Cheddar
cheese of theyear's make Canada took
359 awards, against 45 to the United.
States. Canada had 130' exhibits of.
cheese which scored higher than the
highest of the United States Exhibit.
Ontario had 275 exhibits of cheese of
1893 and won 260 awards. Five lots
scored 9911 points out of the possible 100
for perfection. Quebec had 113 ex-
hibits of cheese, and won 105 awards.
Nova Scotia had ten exhibits and se-
cured three awards. New ' Brunswick
had four exhibits and obtained two
awards. Prince. Edward ° Island had
nineteen exhibits and took eight awards
Nine of the exhibits from . Canada se
cured 99i points cut of the possible 100
for perfection. Five of these lots were
from Ontario and four from Quebec.
The following item taken from the
Grand Forks Daily Herald of October
21sthas reference to on& of Exeter's
former residents and a daughter of Mr.
John Treble,; harnessmaker, of this
place.—"The home of Mr. Will Hancock
was the scene of unusual interest this
evening,when the wedding of Miss Bert
ie Treble and Mr. L. A. Warnaken took
place... The groom was attended 'by
Superintendent, E. 3. '1'aylor, and the
bride by Miss Aggie Austin. The nup-
tial knot was tied by the Rev. 'Carrick
in his usual happy manner. The bride
fs the charming sister of Mrs. Will
Hancock and has been a resident of
Emerado for the past past two years.
The groom is the popular wheat buyer
for the National Elevator' Company and
we congratulate hire on securing such
an estimable partner for : life: After
the ceremony was performed a delight-
ful wedding luncheon was served, ,af-
ter which the newly married couple
were followed to the depot by many of
their friends who showered them with
rice and bid them God speed as the
train left for the east."
At a meeting of the directors of the
South Huron Agricultural Society, held
here on Monday, 16th inst., the secre-
tary was instructed to correspond with
the secretaries of the other Riding So
cieties, asking them to have the ques-
tion of the amalgamation of the three
Riding Societies with the view of hold-
ing one grand County Show, brought
before the members of their respective
Societies at their next annual meeting
and if the proposition be favorably en-
tertained, to appoint delegates to meet
with delegates from the other Riding
Societies at a conference to be subse-
quently held in'the town of Clinton,'at
a date to be fixed. The idea is that
instead of the Riding Societies =alga-,
mating with a Branch Society, as now,
for the holding of a union show, that
the three hiding Societies unite, and
by amalgamating their funds, hold
one large County Show. It is expect-
ed that in this way larger prizes could
be offered and a larger and better
show secured than has yet been got in
this county. The scheme is a good one
if it can lib carried out, One of the
difficulties will be to secure Suitable
grounds and buildings for the holding
of a large show, and another to get the
various interested parties to agree on
a point at which to hold the show.
These howevet, aredifficulties which
should be overcome. We hope the oth
er Riding Societies will co-operate, and
that there will be a conference at any
rate:' Huron could get Up one good

Sudden Death of Rev. Hr. Williams.
The Mitchell Advocate says: -"Our
community was very much shocked
on' Sunday last to hear of the sudden
death of the Eey. John Williams, which
occurred ehortly after returning. from

parently in his usual health, he, as was
his invariable custom, no matter what
the. weather was, occupied with his de

quietly away in the 83rd year of his

The Exeter Tannery.
A certain farmer living' not ten wiles
from Exeter was heard; to say that he
never knew that there was• such • an
institution as a tannery here. That
man evidently "never saw 'the cars."
We have a tannery here'just the same
and T. H. McCallum is the hustling
Proprietor. Mr. McCallum' has'built
up a business of which he may well be
proud. The business was first under
the management of McLaughlin F.D.
McCallum in a frame building on the
river's bank and where ' the present
building now stands. Mr,' McCallum,
since purchasing his partner's interest
has added in the way of buildings, a
new brick warehouse, office: and en-
gine room which gives the institution
quite an imposing appearance., Mr.
McCallum not only caters to a large
local trade' but also ships to Manitoba.
and the Northwest, British Columbia,
and to ail the larger cities throughout
the' Dominin. " Both workroom and
warehouse are full of dressed and un-
dressed hides which are being pre-
pared for foreign orders. +Mr. McCal
lune while taking a' deep interest in his
own business, also has time to spare
for'. the interest of his town—being a
,nember of our'Hon, Council Board and
always trying to do what he conten-
tiously thinks to be right.
The Exeter Woolen Mills.
It is often the case that citizens of
towns the size of Exeter, actually do
not know what the inside of their local
manufacturing industries•are like or
what is being done there. Such` can
be said of many, of our citizens. We
therefore ask the gnestion,how many of
our town's people have taken a look
through our local Woollen Mills. Fri-
day last Mr. Muir showed us through
the establishment and explained to' us
the workings of the different machin-
ery and on informing us of the amount
of work turned out of the mills during
the past year we were really astonished.
Tons of wool have been manufactured
into tweeds, blankets, yarn, &c., some
of which is shipped to'Manitoba and
the Northwest, Toronto, Hamilton, and
various cities and : towns. throughout
the province. ce They trade their manu-
factured. goods to wholesale houses in
the east receiving in exchange ladies
and gents underwear, stockings and
all kinds of manufactured wearing.
apparel, a very large stock ' of which
they, now have in their show room
The quality of goods manufactured by
Messrs. Muir Bros, is becoming popu-
larly known all through the country.
One well known wholesale dealer of'
feted to buy a year's production from
them but they refused. The local and
exportation trade of the Exeter Wool
len Mills is increasing every year and
we congratulate Me8srs, Muir Bros. on
working up buck a valuable industry
in our Gown, Give them a call and
ask to be shown through the building,
Messrs. Muir will be only too pleased to
do so, it will be as much pleasure to
them as though you purchased two or
three pairs of the low priced all wool
blankets or ten pounds of yarn, Again
