It is ten years since he was the pastor of that church, and these years have left their mark on his personal appearance, his hair baying become fluite gray. He has lost none of his old time vigor, how- ever, and his discourses on Sunday were sound, logical and full of learn- ing. Bis old congregation was very pleased to bear bim once more.

He is now engaged in the Nanking business in Hannah and besides owning a large amount of land he has a large interest in a lumbering business. Mr. and Mrs. Prior after visiting friends here will leave in June for England where they will sojourn for three months. The Clinton New Era says of an Ex- eter boy:—"Mr. Alex. Martin, son of Rev.

I. both in athletics and scholarship in 1898. He attained the much coveted Edward Blake schol- arship. He gradnated from Toronto University in 1002, taking an honor course throughout. For some time past he has been associated with Bail- lie, `Vond & Croft, dealers in Govern- ment, Municipal and Corporation bonds and the selling of stocks on commission. In this he has been very successful, and from his straightfor— wardness and trustworthiness, . very much respected." On Tuesday morning last we were hurriedly beckoned from our sanctum to witness what we though might be something of a startling nature Or an item of news. What we witnessed would not be considered unusual in some respects, it was simply a man carrying a lawn mower, but when it is considered that the man was over 84 years of age and was briskly tripping along with this heavy article of near: ly rt, hundred pounds weight with the agility and sprighti»ess of one many years his junior, it is unusual. This was no less a personage than our es- teemed and worthy citizen, Mr. Geo. Lewis. Pew to day of this great age would attempt anything like the - above and goes to show great preserv- ation. May' our old friend live to en- joy faculties of both body ,and mind (or many years to corse is the wish of the Advocate. Miss Lizzie Willis is reeoveringfrom an illness of two weeks of pleurisy.

The many friends here of Mr. Adam Whiteford of Virden, Man., will learn with regret that be is quite ill. May 24th being a public holiday the stores of town will be closed. Farmers should govern themselves acbordiugly. Mr.J.Harrison has resumed his posi- tion as clerk at the Commercial House after a week's visit with friends in Forest and elsewhere. The past week has seen a great many cattle change hands here. The farmers were deliyering to the buyers, who will put them on grass for a time. When in town on May 24th• don't fail to call on Louis Day for your flow- er, tomato, cabbage, cauliflower and all kinds of bedding plants. He has the best. The souvenirs, which Mr. Hurdon will present to the squad of twelve best drilled and best appearing school children on May 24th, are on exhibi- tion in Senior's studio. They are worth trying to win. Dr. Roulston last week had. electric lighting put in his dental parlors and is now prepared to do dental work in the evening by appointment for any of his patients who find it inconven- ient to take the time during the day. A meeting of the South Huron Lic- ense Commissioners took place at the Commercial House on Thursday, when the usual business was transacted. Her'etofordeall meetings of the Board were held in -Hensall, but in future they will be alternate,between the two places. An automobile passing through town on Tuesday frightened Mr. P. Moir's horses at Exeter north, causing them to turn around.upset the wagon, throw out Mr. Moir and runaway to- ward the north. When the rig over- turned the horses broke away from it and after running to the Lake road struck a tie post, broke the harness in several places and became separated. Mr. Moir was not injured but the wag- on and harness were considerably dam- aged. Forecasts for May. - A regular storm period runs from the 19th to the 23rd. This promises to be the most active to violent period in May. Many things combined indicate that low barometer,very warm, humid atmosphere and electrical storms of marked severity will prevail at the first and continue to the end of this period. The culmination of this period will fall within tbirty-six hours of mid- night on the 22nd. The outlook for this whole period in threatening, but we will name Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the 21st, 22nd and 23rd,as danger days. Should the normal chang- es occur, clearing_,and ranch cooler weather should appear about the 24th and 25th. Plain and Pointed This is the way Mr. Huinble, editor .of the Southampton Beacon, gets back at some of the citizens of the town he lives in:—"It is no secret that certain individuals in -Southampton would glory in ourdownfall, We know these gentlemen and are vain enough to be- lieve that we can meet their tactics and give them a Roland for an Oliver, Don't forget it, the Beacon is here to stay, and all the devils in hell can't dislodge us unless we are disposed. The Beacon has resources and staying powers that some of you little dream of. If you cannot take a joke such as appeared last week, it's time your thin skins were perforated a little. You'll get used to it before we quit, Mayor Belcher included." Huron Presbytery. The Presbytery of Huron met in Willis Church, Clinton, on Tuesday of last week, Mr. Fletcher, of Thames Road, was elected moderator for the ensuing six months. Dr. Stewart hav- ing declined appointment as a Com- missioner to the next General Assem- bly, Mr. Shaw was appointed in his stead. Mr. Laird, agent for the en- dowment fund of Queen's University, addressed the Presbytery at some length in support of the scheme which he represents. A`committee compos- ed of Mr. Leckie, convener, Dr. Mc- Lean and Mr, McNeil was appointed to co-operate with Mr. Laird. Mr. Flet- cher reported that the grants to aid receiving congregations had been re- ceived by the Augmentation Commit tee, but that some reduotiohs were contemplated in the near future. Mr. R. Richardson of Varna, a. graduate of the University of Toronto, was ac- corded the status of a student of the church prepared for entrance to the theological course. It was agreed to hold the next regular meeting in Wil- lis Church, Clinton, in September. The Need For Clean Men. If one were to go to the President of the United States and ask him to name the country's greatest need he would reply in his quick, conclusive way. "Clean Men." bleknows. Smart men there are by the thousands; rich wren abound more than in any other age of the world; able men are found in every State and township, hut even from a eighty millions the chief executive has difficulty in finding the man of excep- tional character for post which re- quires asquare and flawless morality: It is to bis credit that he misses no np- portrinity to preach clean manhood... But neither Presidents• nor; preachee nor teachers can do the work of fath- ers except in their own ferniliee.• We do not mean to underestimate the mar- vellous influence of the mother, . In most lands men who reach snceess give their mothers the credit. `Ali that I AM I owe to ray mother,"said Lincoln. "It was you who taught me to write so. Yogi really did,dear mother," said the crabbed Carlyle. We get oris nror•. al qualities from our mothers, oily men- tal from our fathers,say physiologists, and ins we look back we find this rn:r.t. ernal affection the lovliest thing on earth, But isn't there conviction down deep in our souls that we should have done better if our fathers had taken' time and trouble to shite our coned, Ince in the veers that cooked roost".)— Front The Delineator foe June, • recoprereweeiroworeverweveveso PERSONAL. daikettaaaaalstafateihaelaikaaisek Mr.Marchand is in Hamilton on busi- ness.

QUINTON.—Death at any and all times carries with it grief and sadness but when the grim monster robs the home of its mainstay that grief and sadness is very much in- tensified. Such is the case in the death of Mrs. William Quinton, who passed peacefully away on Sunday about 2 o'clock. Mrs. Quinton had been in poor health for several months, suffer- ing from the effects of Bright's Disease and anmmia. She was able, however, to be up and around and attending to her light household duties until about three weeks ago, when she was com- pelled to take her bed, and notwith- standing all efforts of skilled physicians and careful nursing death claimed her. The deceased's maiden name was Eliz abeth Carroll, being a daughter of the late Robert Carroll of Biddulph, and her age was 54 years. She was a good wife and mother, kind and true as she was intelligent and her demise has cast a gloom over the whole neighbor- hood. Besides a sorrow -stricken hus- band she is survived by one son and two daughters, all of whom will have the deepest sympathy of the community. The funeral took place Monday to the Exeter cemetery and was largely attended. NOtAirmIrmlirliarivrArmirlileNF Harveys' Star Flour 1 Is the ideal Family Flour --good for Bread or Biscuits.
