James -St., : Exeter On May 1st the open season for speckled trout commenced, and it is well to remind ain,glers that fish .af less than, seven inches in length from tip of xrnse to tip of 'tall, must root be re- gained, but if 'caught they should be returned to 'the water. There, its also a limit of 20 fish pee day, or ! (tensa pounds, ,providing that less than 20 fish weigh that much. In an alleged interview last week with the London Advertiser, it is said that Andrew Hicks made. afurther attack on Premier Drury, in which it is claimed Mr. Hicks said Drury tried . to, induce Hon, N. W. Row!el1 and Sir Willibm Heaatst, rqo enter his cabinet, U. F. O. members! freely predict that el. Hicks will have difficulty in get- ting the convention of the party again and the names of W. D. Sanders and W. G. Medd are frequently' mentioned. Whether ,Mr. Hicks has been wise from a persomal or party viewpo:nt, is a questikm in many minds, but it has at least cleared the politica[ atnios- pbere considerably, brought the Pre- mier, back unto lane, and placed the old parties in the posit'on that they new know they 'levet s stand =their own, feet, end wiser or fall according to their ability to get votes. In the Conservative rankst ih3 names of Fred Ellernngtane who; was the Can- didate four years ago, W, R. Ell'sat, and Charles Middleton, are freely nien- tinned as possible candidates. The. Liberals se'emt to be very quiet Johns, Morgan, the candidate in 1919 of course, mentuonled, but no other names have come to ourears, :12r Morgan does not look with favor on: the idea of xuniniung again, WHY COAL DID NOT BURN. Amazing revelations , are coming from the coal regiong of Pennsylvania where,, according to newspaper report the galeatt coal compainxest that monop- olized the anthracite of the nation during. the bitter winter just passed, shipped to market and made $150,000,- 000 150,000,000 profits from the refuse -slate and slag and stone and dirt -of the great culm-banks that have beeanaccumulat_' Ing the wastes matter+ of the minces, for nearly a hundred years. With unbe- lievable avarice the coals barons are said to have shipped hundreds of thousands of tons of this waste dmicombustilbre material to market and/ siold it as coal mulcting the public of matllians of dol- lars for ;staff that would not burn. Exeter people were fairly fortunate in; getting good coal;, but some •!loads were lar from good, IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother who died one year ago April 3 Oth, and our dear father, who died five years ago last 23rd of January. The ones we loved are now at rest, Their fond true hearts are still, The ones that would have helped us most Now lie in death's cold chill.. No one knows the silent heartache, Only those who have, lost can tell Of the grief that is borne in silence For the ones we loved so well. FarniIy of the late Simon Hunter.
