The following, taken friein an `e. x- ehangeeis wdethy of note and of inter- estal-"A newspaper withoet enemies is hardly , deserving of friends. The vicious and lawless never like a bold fearless paper, and every self respect- ing publisher should be prorid of this enmity. There. are other fiewspaper foes, howeveia who- are far more troublesome, and. cousequently mere' to befeared. First and forembet, the man who owes the oewsparier an hon- est debt and will not pay it. -Then there is the. ambitious -Mortal Who wants an office and coMpliting• because' the neWspaper'' can not 'consistently champion his cause"; heis pretty likely to become an enemy. The man who wants to shapethe policy of a news- paper and is not allowed t� do so, is a sure enemy. But the meanest man of all is the man whom the newspaper had befriended, and who deliberately. con- demns the sheet after securing from it all the assistance he possibly can. • The newspaper man cain to some extent, respect an open avowed enemy; but an ingrate, under any circumstances, is beneath contempt. 1 Ladies! don't fail to see the assort- ment of fur ruffs, fur caperiries and Inc coats at Stewart's. • Public Library.

"I inspected Exeter Publielibrary on the lith `Oet., and.' am pleased to report a very great improvement since my former inspection. The Library and Reading Room, are in two com- modious rooms in the Town Hall. The MuuicipalCouncil is very liberal and have an excellent Library Board 'who are enthusiastic in the work and anx- ious to comply with •the regulations of this Department. They have been very indefatigable in their efforts to make the Library a success. During the past year they issued 946 books to 453 readers. • A few books have been re-classified, and some dilapidated books, which in their present state are unfit for cir- culation, will be destroyed,or if of suf- ficient value re -bound.' Death of Dr. William H. Sanders The sad news of the death of Dr. Wm. H. Saoders, of Chicago, son of the fate Rich. Sanders, came as a shock to his relatives and friends here on Saturday morning,last, which. sad event took place the evening previous at 9.30. The deceased had been in his usual health up to a short time before he died when he was taken ill and his •heart failing, the vital cord was snap- ped at the time above stated. The late Mr. Sanders was well known here, this being his native town. After quitting school he served an apprenticeship 013 the old Reflector where he acquited a practical knowledge of the art of print- ing, together with the principles of newspaper -work in general. In the year 1887 he and his brother, the pre- sent editor of the ADVOCATE, purchas- ed the ADVOCATE plant and equipped it shortly after with entirely new ma- chinery and type thronghout. After running a successful business for over three years he disposed of his inter- ests to Mr. Samuel Sweet and subse- quently moved,to Chicago where—he took up the study of law and later last year. niedicine. Graduating in 1895 he after i Council Proceedings. wads started practicing n the city, Council met pursuant to adjourn- ment at Town Hall, Oct. 18. All pres- ent.

FiVans--Levett— that Council adjourn to meet at call of Reeve. G. H. BISSETT, Clerk. Incorrect. The report in circulation Ibat the Rev. R. Hobbs would fill the vacancy in the James street Methodist church, after June next, is evidently incorrect, according to the following item from the Winghana Advance of last week: "A special meeting of the official board of Wingharn Itethodist church was held on Wedriceday evening to consid- er the question of supply for the year beginning June, 1902. It was untrui- rnously:decided (by ballot) to invite Rev. R.Hobbs to remain a fourth year, Et was felt that in view of the work he has acconiplished, and the prepent con- dition of church affairs, it would be unwise to change pastors next confer- ence, and the Salary for the year corn- ineneing June next was advanced from $1,000 to $1,200. Mr. Hobbs had other invitations, hence the special meeting. The invitation of the board was ac- cepted, subject, of course to the eon/ where he has lived nearly ever since. He wa,s a member of the Masonic and Orange orders and also of the Colembi- an Knights; the latter of which he was insured for $1000. His remains were brought here for burial, arriving- Tues- day and were conveyed to the resi- dence of his mother, Mrs. Thos. Snell, Huron streetafrom where the funeral took place at two o'clock. yesterday (Wednesday), the Rev. J. W. Ten Eyck, rector of Trivitt Memorial church, officiating. The paul bearers, were Messrs. W. J. Carling, LI. Speck - man, L. H. Dickson, W. II. Levett, John T. Westcott and James Achesen. The bereaved relatives have the deep- est sympathy in their sad trial or -af- fliction,' this being the second death in the family in a short time, the de- ceased's brother, Edward, having died about nine weeks ago. en..MiraStirAliiViMriNlagriMISAMOVIlitte, T'y PV41,$9N,A,I...1 • Mrs. F.

Grieve, of this township,liad a very close call a, few days ago. He was put- ting the horses in the stable at the 000n hour,and with them was a young colt. Just as he was coming out of one of stalls, and while passing this animal, it kicked, striking him on the eye and making a nasty wound, al- though no bones were broken, and the eye was not permanently injured. He was, however, knocked down, and ren- dered unconscious for a time, but, for- etunately, his father was in another part of the barn, and speedily came to his aid. •'t McKillop: One day last week as a threshing machine was at work on the farm of Mr. Thomas Adams, 3rd con- cession, and as a sheaf of wheat was going throug,h the cylinder, there was aloud report, like the explosion of a cartridge, and the whole inside of the machine seemed as if on fire. The sheaf was in a blaze,and the straw was carried out onto the etack in this way. Fortunately there was not much wind blowing at the time, and the men on the stack -were able to stamp out the fire before any damage was done. How the explosive got into the sheaf of wheat is a mystery. Seaforth: in St. Thomas church, of this place, on Thursday, October 10th, Miss Katherine LOiliSe, daughter of Mr. H. J.
