WHAT EXETER WANTS.— We are all woundup as to the snperior advent - ages of Exeter over other towns, lint still there are a number of matters in which improvements could be made which would add to the comfort of the residents of the town. Here nye a few ,suggestions ; enetw resident way add, as naany more as he pleases :—The inn propel:omit of the water supply.—The illumination of the town clock.—More ,attention paid to the roads—taking oft the stones, filling up the boles, making • boulevards and afterwards proteeting them.

It has handsome plate glass windows, with the interior finished in the natural wood. The stock, which is all new, is conveniently arranged in handsome drawers placed in the shelves, each drawer having on its face a sample of the contents, thus aiding the customer hamaking a selec- tion of the article he wants, while the clerk saves time in • hunting through the stock for a given piece of hard. - ware.

GOOD APPOINTIWENT.—As announ- ced in these columns last week, W. M. Martin, B. A., eldest son of Rev, W. Martin, has reeeived the appointment to the .0Iassical Mastership a Harris - ton high school. Mr. Martha is bright, clever young roan, and will fill tke position in a manner which, will bring honor to the Institute with which he is about to be connected. His career, both at Clinton Collegiate and at the University, bas been a consist- ent course of successes, not alone as a student, but as an enthusiastic athlete and as a fellow popular arnong his fel- lows. Iu 1804 he matriculated into Toronto University with honors in Classics, a, standing which he main- tained throughout his course. In his 2nd year he took, in addition, honors in Political Science. • Mr. Martin was specially prominent in sports at, the University, and held 'many of the high est positions in the gilt of his fellow- stadents. He was Athletic Director in 1896 7 and 1897-8 and secy-treas, of the Athletic Association in 1807-8, at the same time being Captain of '1, easily Football Team. In' securing the ser- vices of Ala Martin we are certain that Harriston has done well, arid We com- mend our young townsman to the peo- ple of the Northern town as a man of abilityof ste•rliag character,. and of every quality. which makes up the true • gentleman. •• A ()LEVER YOUNG MAN. — Thomas A. Russell, B, A.,of ThamesRoad,who was announced last week as having re- ceived the a,ppointment of Fellow in Political Science at Toronto Univers- ity, a position much coveted not only fca its niestuniary value, but for the high honor which it bestows, is one of the most brilliant students that the County of Huron has sent out. He had a number of strong competitors for the position, and the fact that the University Council chose him above them all, speaks volumes for the posi- tion he occupies in their estimation. At matriculation Mr. Russell took honors in Natural Science and Mathematics and followed this by taking honors in Classics its his lst, 2nd, and 8rd years, at, the University. in addition he took Political Science in his 2nd, 3rd and 4th yearasecuring the Alexander Mac- kenzie Scholarship, worth $60. This past year when he graduated he had the marked distinction ' of standing at thehead of the lists in* his depart- ment. But Mr. Russell proved himself to be no book -worm, for in athletics and Oratory he excelled equally as well. Besides being Secy-Treas.,of the Athletic Association, for which he was granted a berms of $50 by the Univers- ity Council. He held many minor po- sitions a honor among the students and was member of Varsity 11 Rugby Team, svlio won_ the championship of Casten) last fall.
