It is gratifying to the more sedate

When you write a letter to the news-

Don't abbreviate names of the week,
or the names of months. Write the.

plain. It may be perfectly plain to
you, because you know who you are
talking about, but the printer will not
have the knowledge and will have
nothing to guide him but you writing.

According to the prophesy of the
fowl a hard winter is upon us. "For-
est and Stream" says:—"It is said
ducks and other fowl have pin feath-
ers in August' when there is to be an,
open fall or winter. If they have down
on their breasts it is the sign of a hard
winter. Sportsmen say ducks already
this year have been found with-
out pin feathers but have a coat of
thick brown down on their breasts.
Hence a hard winter is predicted."

Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Sanders arrived
home from Winnipeg on 'Monday
morning. Mr. Sanders had been ill
of fever in a hospital in that city for
several weeks. Some two weeks ago
Mrs, Sanders went to bring him home
and he having sufficiently recovered
was brought home as stated. Al-
though very weak the patient is well
on the road to complete recovery. Mr.
Daniel Sanders went to Toronto to
meet them and accompanied them
home.
The new schoolhouse of S.S. No. 3,
Stephen, is now completed and pre-
sents a handsome exterior and inter-
ior appearance, being fitted up in the'
very latest and most unproved man-
ner, with the object of securing the
comfort and safety of teacher and
pupils. The building is a credit to the
section. The school will open on Mon-
day, Nov. 7th, when the new teacher,
Miss H. D. Pringle, will be in her place
and the pupils are expected to be in
their places as well.
'= The blacksmiths of Exeter .and the
surrounding district came into line
with those of most of the towns and
villages of Western Ontario, on 'Tues-
day, November 1st; when they raised
the prices of horseshoeing. Instead
of the old rates, 10 cents for setting a
shoe and 25 cents fora new` shoe, the
prices in future are to be 1274 cents for
setting and 30 cents for a new shoe.
'As far as we can , learn even this in-
crease does not' reach that of many
of our neighboring towns.
The pulpit of James -Street Metho-
dist Church was ably filled on Sunday
last, both morning and evening by
Rev. A. H. Going, B. A., of the Oen-
tennial Church, London. The reyer-
end gentleman preached interesting
and instructive sermons on both oc-
casions, and was listened to by large
congregations, - who appreciated his
clear and forceful manner of express-
ing divine truths. Dr. Hannon was
in London conducting anniversary
services from Mr. Going's pulpit,
, With this week we see the retire-
ment from business life of one of Exe-
ter's old and tried firms. We refer to
Messrs. Farmer Bros. who have oc-
cupied the stand on the east side. of
Main street with which their name
has been connected for so manyyears.
This, iu this case as in all others, a
matter of regret to see the men who
went into business when Exeter was
in its infancy, now retiring from active
business life. Messrs. Farmer Bros.,
we trust, will remain as valued resi-
dents of town for many years to come,,
and we wish them the greatest of en-
joyment in their retirement. •
Mr. George Kernick, of Sacramento,
Cal., is the guest of relatives in and

a clever and lucky son, Mr. Arthur
Kernick, of whom we made mention

very fortunate in mining speculations
in Goldfield, Nevada, and who at the
age of 31 years, is a millionaire.. Mr.

"01d Home" Thoughts..
Don't let your heart be troubled by
the man who comes back and tells
what wonderful success he has had as
a result of leaving his home town. It
is well enough for the sake .of polite -
tress to listen to his stories of immense
business deals or fabulous salaries or
wonderful offers which he was com-
pelled to refuse because be was offered
still more.by someone else, but don't
swallow the tales. The men who go
away and succeed do not need to tell
of their- success. You hear of their
success. It speaks for itself. You are
doing better than the cheapmonkeys
that have to megaphone their success.
Attempt to follow their, example, and
and you will meet with disaster.
