—Splendid crops are reported in Southern
Alberta. Mr. Joseph Nixon, sub -agent of
Dominion lends, visited the dietrict recently
and returned with samples of grains io the
eheref and 40 bushels of threghed grain. The
samples were magnificent, and all the set-
tlers were delighted with the country. The
MacLeod Craefitte trays thab all the crops
marripled were grown without irrigation, and
that the people are not in favor of that plan,
holding that the cost would be greater than
the lose from occasional drouth. All the
wheat throughoub the country will run
from 35 to 40 bullish to the acre. One man
named Andereon, who came to the country
14 years ego, had at that time only -two
cum. He now has two fine farms, one on
the Ste Mary's and the other near Cardston,
embracing altogether 600 to 700 mires,
nearly all under oultivation. ie now

MiscoNnucer.—Mrs, W. Masters, _of
Church street, has complained to us of 6he
annoyance bops have recently caused her.
One night recently,a large stone was thrown
at her front door, smashing the outside
ecreen door. Had ie not been for the screen
door, the inner deer would undoubtedly
have been smashed. At different times she
had been disturbed and ennoyed by other
noises. Different perfume in that neighbor-
hood have als3 complained of Miseonduct cn
the part of boys. The boYs mey think they
are hav ing fun, but a night in thee lock.up
would deprive Such conduct of all semblance
of sport. It is too bad that inoffensive
people should beaprioyed in this way, and
the authorities shauld see that the perpetrat-
ors are puniehed, or the nuisance abate'd.
•
MOTOR BICYCLES.—Mr. George Baldwin
has purchased from the Thomas Meter Com-
pany, of Buffalo,- N. Yanne-of their. auto-bi
roadster bicycles. - This is the'first machine
of this kind hrought to Seaforth, and is one
of very few owned in Canada. Mr. Bald-
win is bound to be up-toedate, and hia -new
-steed hag creeted eonsiderable interest
around town, It jis 'driven by a horse
power gasedineengine,and is capable of going
forty miles an hour, aod can be run very
cheaply. While out for a spin, the other
day, Mr. Baldwin- went from Bruce -field to
Hensel', a distance of six miles in twelve •
minutes, or at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. Thie is pretey fast travelling, faster,
in fact, than the majority Of trains around
here go. Motor bicycles are the coming
thing, and we trust that Mr. Baldwin's en-
terprise in keeping at the head of the pro-
.ceseion will be fully repaid,

THE LEADBURV HOTEL. Buneeee —The
hotel build inge at Leadbury were .eomplete-
ly destroyed by fire early Tueeday _morning
last. The fire woe first • discovered. about
two o'clock and was then so far advanced
that little or nothing could be sevecl even of
the contents. Mr8. Jones was in Seaforth
that night, and Mr. Jones was barely able
to escape in his night clothea. The fire is
euppcsad to have or iginated semewhere near
the hall which was overthe driving abed and
attaohed to the main building. Therawas a
email ineurverae,.but the loss to Mr.- J s
'will be considerable, There is now left only
one hotel in Mcleillop, that ,at Dublin,' on
the very out:skirts. of the township. The
McKillop council were alise in the habit of
holding their meetings in the Leadbury hall
and they will now be without a home and
should erect a nice, conembdious hall which
would be available foie. :council and other
public met tinge.

MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS POR HURON. —
Last summer, Messrs. Jemes Scott and 0. C.
Willson, of this town, leased a tract of land
in Tuckersmith, for the purpose of forming
a game preserve. Them gentlemen have been
in correspondence -with the Ontario Govern.,
men,t officials, and are receiving a stock of
Mongolian pheasante for their preserve. The
conditions on which this gift of the Govern -
moat is made is that they will protect the
gsme and give them a chanoe to multiply.
We understand the object of the owners and
leeses of this property is to protect the
game, thus forming a breeding .ground for
pheasants and othergarne. No shooting will
be allowed there foreome years, and it is ex -
'noted that game will _flock there from the
.eurrounding country and will spread out
from there again to replenish the ahnost
exhausted game eupply. This is a very
laudaiile object, and we trust that these
gentlemen will meet with the success their
enterprise deserves, and thee they will be
as:slated he the work by every sportsman
lending them their assistance and sym-
pathy.

T'erreic &emcee—Mit, leerrote—
Will you kindly allow me space in your
valuable paper to ssy a few words relating
to the art i in your ismer of the llth inst.,
on th • rc.organizatien of the public school
and tee sweeping messures taken by the
board of truetees. We fathees and mothers
tamers very different opinion of ehe teachers
from that held by the board. We are afraid
they 'have forgotten to examine the records
of the entrance examinations, which will
show that the Seaforth school has pasred a
larger proportion of Chem WI ing for en-
trance exarnioatione than any school in this
dist' let. An 1 if they would-- take the
trouble to find out the ages of those who
have from time to time Lein in the A, or
Form I. of the Collegiate Institute, they
would be astonished to find what mere ail -
droll have gone there from the Seaforth
school. Now this could not be were not tl e
teaching stafrefficient and up.to-date ite
work and methods, from the primary teach-
er to the principal. We consider it proof
that the pupils have been advanced quite
faet enough. Though, perhaps, the teachers
have not been free to follow their own
methods in claeeffication, etc., we have not
needed to complain, and are afraid the
truetees have not weighed the complaints
which the article says came from different
quarters,or probably they would have found
them only idlers gossip, or relating to chile
dren naturally dull and indolent,. or from
parents who give little attention to the
bringing up of eheinohildren, and when any.
thing seemed to go wrong found it conven-
lent th delame the teacher. - We presume
that the people of Seaforth will forgive our
teachers for having reached the prime of
life. el Some of them have been benefactors
and welcome visitors in the homers of the
siek and needy. So'if their salary seemed
too high by a few dollars, the town has not,
lost by i a,fter all. Let the readers of THE
EXPOSITOR judge. When the school has
been "re-juvinated and remodelled," let our
new principal and staff look well to their
ways, for it is not easy to follow good men
and women, and we know of some funcalled
" upto-date " teachers who set a sorry ex-
ample and whose habits are far from good.
Our trustees seem to have forgotten the
golden rule, " Do unto others, etc.," when
they told the public that our teachers were
unworthy of recommendation. Some day,
perhaps, they may meet a certain p3rsonage
by'the neme of " Be Done by as You Did."

ALICE WALKER VS. WM. BROADFOOT.—
We see by the Toronto papers that thie
action has been decided in favor of Mr.
Broadfoot. Miss Walker resides at -186.
Thomds, but she formerly resided in Tuck-
ersmith, and Mr. Broadfoot is a prosperous
yoUng farmer in the said township of Tuck-
ersmith. The case was commenced in
December, 1899, and was brought to recover
$5,000 damages for breach of promise of
marriage. The chief defence to the action
was that the` pleintiff had, by a letter writ-
ten by her to the defendant in August,1899,
released and exonerated him from the
promise of marriage. When the case was
first tried at St. Thomas the defendent was
very much surprieed to find that the plaint-
iff denied that she ever wrote the letter,
and so she succeeded, through the spin
pathy of the jury, in securing a verdict.
The defendant appealed" the case and the
judges at Toronto decided unanimously
that she did write the letter, and so a new
trial was ordered. When the crate came on
again for trial at St. Thomas the plaintiff
had it post,piined on the grounds that her
mother was sick and could not attend court
as a witness. The defendant'ri solicitor,
Mr. T. M-. Best, of Seaforth, then succeed-
ed in having the place of trial changed
from St. Thomas to London and . plaintiff
gave notice of trial for the last assizes in
London, but as she did not'proceed to trial
with the case, Mr. Best made ail' application
in Toronto to dismiss the aot ionand wassuo-
cessful and the case is now at an end. As a
rule the defendant does not fare very well
in breach of preinige cases, but this case
has been an exception to the rule and the
result is that Miss Walker has not succeed-
ed in getting a dollar of Mr. Broadfoot's
money, but on the contrary she has had to
pay all her own costs of the litigat ion. Mr.
Barnum, of Dutton and Mr. Carruthers, of
St. Thomas, acted 'for Miss Walker, and
Mr. J. M. Best, barrister, of Seaforth, hes
throughout conducted the case for Mr.
Broadfoot and is to be congratulated on the
able and careful manner in which he looked
after the interests of hee client.

grounds in the afternoon, while the gate
receipts were equal to, if not larger, than

AMONG THE NEW JACKETS,
Longer mats are in the majority for any

coats for women are seemingly very
plain, straight and simple, with loose
straight front and backs. Decidedly
mannish some of them, but very becom-

ity. The more expensive ones, et
course, are tbe kind that attract meg
attention from the women. They are
the kind th4 wish to wear or look

at our store are marked at reachable
prices. In our range of jackets, all the
