The fore part of this week the tra-
ditional March lion made his appear-
ance, It male as feel as though win-
ter was making another start.
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.

ing their meat cart preparatory to start.
ing• on their morning round on Thurs-
day last, their horse took fright and

stopped. No damage was done to
horse or cart, but the meat was dumped
on the street.
A GREAT SUCCESSI
Yes, the great clearing sale now running at the

derful bargains. We are offering

Regular meeting of the council to-
morrow night (Friday.)
After several days assessing Mr. Geo.
Bissett reports the dog crop very scarce.

the ist of March.
Mr Ed, Christie, has again taken

Miss Ella Ramsay entertained a few

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.

isy, at the age of 65 years and 13 days.

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

admiring friends, as he was a gentle-
man of culture and education, holding
the title of B. A. and has been a high
school teacher for years. The writer
had but a short acquaintance with'Mr.
Monroe and always found that to eon -
verse with him was to admire him. 'Ilia
retrains were taken to Strathroy •via

G. G. JBIISTOL Exeter.
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. M. Martin.
Ministerial Association.
The annual meeting of the South
Huron Ministerial Association was held
in the Main Street Methodist Church
last Monday afternoon. 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,

The salt men of West have
ha e
failed to enter into the combine 'which
they have been agitating for the past
few months. It is said the reason the
proposition has not materialized, 15
that some of the large manufacturers
wanted too large a portion of the pro.
ceeds. Salt will,so far as the recent
negotiations are concerned, remain at
the old figure, although salt is worth
more money.
