March entered somewhat after the orthodox leonine fashion, and it is there- fore reasonable to expect that its exit will be lacnblike. The roads throughout the country especially those which are much trav- elled, are in at very bad condition. Numerous' pitch holes are met,with and iu many instauces travelling is done for considerable distance through the fields, While Charlie Dennis was grooming J. A. Stewart's pony (Beauty) the little fellow got away from him and started off at a breakneck speed down blain street. Beauty is a "high filer," when he gets a good start, he does not let his feet touch the bottom of pitch holes or top of good size snow drifts either. While Messrs Ford Bros were load- ing their meat cart preparatory to start. ing• on their morning round on Thurs- day last, their horse took fright and made. a "dash" dawn Main street as far as ,James Sweet's residence where it was stopped.

Come with the crowd and secure some of the biggest bargains ever offered in Exeter. The Big Sale continues for 17 DAYS LONGER. COME! AGAIN WE SAY3 COME !. J. A.

Miss Ella Ramsay entertained a few of her most intimate friends with a social hop on Tuesday night. A meeting of the Turf Club will be held in the Town Hall, to -night (Thurs- day.) All members are respectfully re- quested to attend. Dr. Sweet, our old and much respec- ted friend and former citizen, has arrived in town with his family and tends again making Exeter, his home. We understand he will occupy his old premises and will resume his practice as veterinary. Welcome home "Doc." The Presbyterian, Methodist and Churh of England- Sunday schools, Mitchell, have appointed committees, to canvas the town in order to ascertain how many children there are who do not attend any Sabbath school, and to adopt some means to get them to attend Would not this be a wise course for the churches in Exeter to pursue, whereby many youths, who never see the inside of a Sunday School door, could be brought into the fold, and thus receive the training that every boy and girl should have. A surgical operation was per ormed on Mr..James Hick's (Greenway.) arm last week which will leaye him with a stiffened wrist the rest of his days. Some two years ago Mr. Hieks injured his wrist in some unaccountable way which resulted ru tuburcular disease of the joint. He underwent treatment from Drs. Rollins & Amos who decided on an operation by which a portion of the bone immediately below the wrist was removed in order to savethe hand. The patient is now doing as well as could he expected after such a trying ordeal. Parkhill Gazette Review:—The Chat• ham town council has voted each of the newspapers of that town $100 for reporting their proceedings during the past year We have not only reported the proceedings of the Parkhill council but have given there an occasional breeze for some naughty acts and yet we have not received so much as a "thank you." We feel real bad. The printing commttee, at any rate, should have done something handsome for us had the chairman not got Married, run for the council, been defeated, and mov- ed to Exeter. Many of our exchanges aro warning their readers against the use of private postcard. if they would take the troub- le to interview their respective post- masters concerning the matter they would have no doubt as to the correct- ness of its use. It was a new regula- tion adopted Jan. 1st, 1895, and any person is at liberty to use their own private card if they comply with the regulations which are as follows: Tho card must be composed of ordinary card board not thic'er than the material used for the official post card, must cor- respond as nearly as possible, with the size of the ordinary Canadian post cart now in use. The minimum size must not be less than B. inches by 211 inches. While working in the hay mow on Tuesday, Mr, James Dignan accident- ly got the tang of a pitch -fork run into his wrist and asa result is unable to use his arm. The Mitchell Advocate says:—Mr Pridham was through the southern part of the Riding last week, and he informs us that he met with the most cheering encouragement from every quarter. And wh•" not? He is a man any constitue"cy night be proud of. He is respected wherever he is known. His Riding has benefitted trom his en- terprise as a farmer and cattle buyer, and in honoring him South Perth will again be honoring itself. At a recent meeting of the Ontario Fish and Game Commission, it was de - sided to make the deer season the same as it was in 1892—from the 1st to the 15th of November—thus cutting out the last 10 days of October. It is 'pro- posed also to prohibit duck shooting till half an hour after sunset, so as not to molest the birds during roosting. It was decided to offer a bounty of 60c a head for foxes, owing to the damage they inflict on farmers' poultry; Loadman v. Snell. Considerable' interest was manifested in the ca e of Loadman v. Snell, which came up for hearing before magistrate T Snell and Reeve T. H. McCallum on Monday last. The case took its rise from the recent failure of Wesley Snell, in which Loadman charged' Snell with false pretences. Mr. R. H. Collins acted for the defendant. The inagistrates, after bearing all the evidence dismis- sed the case, the plaintiff to pay costs. Obituary. With this issue we record the demise of an old and much respeeted citizen in the person of Mr. James Garland. who died at his late residence no An• drew St. from a sudden attack of pleur- isy, at the age of 65 years and 13 days. The deceased had been connected with the salt industry as salesman for some seven years, to the utmost satisfaction of the company. His remains were laid to rest in the Exeter Cemetery on Monday afternoon, the funeral service of the Methodist church being perform- ed by Rev. Jackson of whose congrega- tion the deceased was a member. The bereaved family have our heartfelt sympathy in their sad affliction. • Death of John A. Monroe, B. A. T o us it is a sad duty to chronicle this week, the death of Mr. John A. Monroe, who died at the residence of his wife's parents Mr. and Mrs. W. Fol land, Sr. on Monday last, the 4th day of March, at the age of 50 years and 3 months, The deceased has been in poor health for over two years and has been under the best medical treatment that could be obtained; he has also tried chancre of climate, but it was of: no avail. His death was caused by a nom plication of diseases and. will .be sadly mourned by a number of intimate and admiring friends, as he was a gentle- man of culture and education, holding the title of B.

The storm on Monday was somewhat of a gentle reminder that winter has not yet ceased. It was indeed most se- vere while it lasted, but it was pleasing that it was of short duration. 9 his -win. ter has been a record -breaker for storms in this section. At the last regular meeting of Exe- ter Council, No. 94, Canadian Order Chosen Friends, the following officers were elected: Past Chief Coun., Bro. J P Ross; Chief Coun., Thos. Fitton ; Vice Coun„ Mrs. J. P. Ross; Recorder, J. H. Grieve; Prelate, Mrs. Quance; Warden Geo. Brooks; Marshall, Mrs J. Horn; Sec'y Mrs. M. Morgan; Guard, Mrs. Wm. Tapp; Grand Representative, Rev. W.

In the absence of the president, Rev H. W. Loche was voted to the chair, and after adopting the minutes of the last meeting, ar rangements were made for the May meeting. The ei<ction of officers for the ensuing year resulting as follows: President, Rev, W. H Butt; Sec. Treas. Rev. C. Fletcher. Rev, W. 1-1. Butt read a paper on "The pastor among his people." The word pastor was from the Latin and hi spirit and meaning was synonymous with shepherd; and as the shepherd feeds his flock oa the best pasturage so the Pastor was to feed his .people on the, word of life. Solitude, meditation and self examination, with prayer and the study of God's word were necessary to prepare the Pastor for contact with his people. He should be sociable and friendly while ntaintaining a certain dignity of demeanor. It was not neces- sary to indulge in boyish pastimes to gain the respect of the boys, nor lounge around stores and shops to he popular with the masses, but he must needs be one with his people. He ought to dress in becoming costume. Though it was not essential to wear ap b lug hat, a white choker and broad cloth suit, he would appear very unseerningly with full cloth pants, fustian jacket and slouch hat. In his reereations he should be careful what he indulged in and not go where he could not take his Saviour with him, In his pastorial vis- itation He should give his first atten- tion to the sick and then to the tempted and tried ones, calling on others as op portunity and circumstances might allow. In business meetings and church societies he was to give counsel and aid' striting to be "as wise as a serpent and yet as harmless as a dove" Rey. W. M. Martin then followed with a sermon on James 4, 14, "what is your life?" While the text hid refer ence to physicial life, by request he had taken it up in relation to spiritual life. The Christain's test was the giv ing of God for Christ, arid fruit bearing which was seen in the life. To the back slider and the sinner the question came with point and implied the great danger to which they were exposed. Both !hepaper Eer and sermon were dis- cussed in a friendly spirit and the meeting adjourned to meet again, in James Street Methodist Church the I first Monday in April, DIDYn DO IT?

The salt men of West have ha e failed to enter into the combine 'which they have been agitating for the past few months.

Salt will,so far as the recent negotiations are concerned, remain at the old figure, although salt is worth more money. tt T Pali Rest F.'
