Hicks' Forecasts For November.
A. regular storm period is central on
the 9th, extending from the 7th to the
12th. By the 9th the growing storm
conditions will have increased, so that
general cloudiness and rain will be in
progress in western sections, and dur-
ing the 10th, 11th and 12th, rain turn-
ing Co sleetand snow on the western
flanks of storm areas, will progress to
the east across the country. This is
another period which promises to be
prolonged into a spell of unsettled, if
not continued rainy, snowy, 'stormy
weather. The moon is on the celestial
equator on the 13th, the central day
of the mercury equinox, hence a sud-
den rise in temperature, with possible
lightning and thunder in the south,
with autumnal rain and sleet wilt be
most likely on that date. Altogether
this period promises much disagree-
able and stormy weather, especially
on the hikes and the Atlantic Ocean.

The fact that little or no damage
was done by the boys here on Hallow-

themselves into the idea that they are

Before going to London on Saturday
Mr. R. Leathorn informed us that
some person or persons had stolen a
box filled with two sets of harness and
other horse necessities, which he had
labelled to be taken to London with
him. He considers it might have been
done as a joke; but if so, the joke is
not at all to his liking nor was it of
the right nature to make an enjoyable
joke for the guilty party.
Mr. Wm. Trott of Beamsville arriv-
ed Monday evening on a few days' vis-
it to friends in town. He expresses
himself as being pleased with the fact
that Exeter is to have a canning fac-
tory. He states that a large one was
built at Beamsville this year and the
business done there is very large.
Mr. Trott had considerable experience
in fruitu. ine s here b s s h and he knows
whereof he speaks when he says that
the land and climate' around Exeter
are eminently suited to the growing of
many things that go largely into sup-
plying a conning factory.

Reveries of a Bachelor,

Bachelor; or Love,Courtship and Mar-
riage," in the Opera Hall on Wednes-
day night of last week, being the sec -
end of our series of entertainments
recently arranged for by Mr. Beverley..
Mr. Miller was greeted by a large and
enthusiastic audience of fashion and
culture -and the lecture was truly_ a.
magnificent effort. The impress of his
eloquence had not been effaced from
the memories of those who beard ~hina
on the occasion of his visit` here iu
April 1903, and nearly ever yone wtru
beard bite on that occasion was again
present Wednesday night, thus dem-
onstrating his popularity as is lecturer.
Being a bachelor --so we are informed
hiscleductinns from this stand pain
may be considered as expressions of
personal experiences from 'which those
of his own persuasions could extract
nothing but grizzly gorgons and empty
delusions;wbile the remolding phases
of his subject he painted as pictures of

large audience of admirers when he
appears in Exeter. In appearance he
is rather striking and when ho makes
his bow to an audience it naturally
expected his subject and manner of
