This section has witnessed few
winters when the reads were in
worse condition than they have been
this winter. For weeks travelling
over the roads has been difficult
and even dangerous. Pitchholes,.
numerous and deep, have been a
source of much annoyance both to
old dobbin and travellers. The cen-
ter of the roads have been high and
the moment a horse steps off the
hard track it goes down. It has been
a common occurance to upset a load
several times while driving only a
few miles. The thaw and the rain
left the roads in had condition. The
roadway is narrow and the sides are
steep. Some places the holes where
the feet of the horses have gone
through are a foot and a foot and
a half deep.

EATON'S CATALOGUES.
The T. Eaton Company, of Toron-

Keller, the local express agent, 247
sacks, containing seven tons of their
spring catalogues, the express
charges on the shipment being $155.
These catalogues were taken to the
Seaforth post -office where they were
stamped and distributed through-
out the town and country. The post-
age on the catalogues amounted to
some $500 additional to the express
charges. The Eaton Company found
out long ago that it pays to advertise

CREEK. FLOODS PROPERTY
Exeter had its awn little flood
that was serious enough for the time
on Friday of last week. The mild
weather of Thursday and Friday
resulted fn the thawing of
much snow. The creek that runs
through between James and Huron
streets went on a rampage for sev-
eral hours. Some who have been res-
idents of town for many years„ say
it was the worst they have ever seen.
Mrs. Pickard, whose property bor-
ders the creek says she remembers
once when it was as bad. Just at
noon the creek began to swell and it
rose until the lots on either side
were covered by several feet of wa-
ter.
The stable of Dr. Hyndman was
flooded and it was necessary to re-
move his horses. When Mr. J. Mina
ers went to feed his- horse at noon
