Daughters and Son government officials SECURE INFORMATION RE NEW POSTOFFICE The efforts of the Exeter Cham­ ber of Commerce in seeking to have the Federal Government erect a Suitable postqffRe on the site owned by them, have met with sufficient encouragement to warrant them in the belief that their aims in this di­ rection will be ultimately successful. It will be remembered that a dele­ gation was appointed to interview the Minister of Public Works at Ot­ tawa for the pp/i; claims to a new him. This mattei through M'r. The? for South Huron, got in touch with . „.....__ ....... ities and- the public works depart­ ment. However, he later informed us that as the estimates for the cur­ rent year had already been passed, in his opinion, such -a delegation at the present time would be doomed to disappointment. On the strength of this information the matter of sending a delegation to Ottawa was left in abeyance. However, through Mr. McMillan’s active and sympathetic attitude to­ wards our claims* he was instrumen­ tal in having the government send two special representatives to Exe­ ter to investigate conditions and re­ port their findings, Accordngly, Mr. Winters, representing the de­ partment of public works, and Mr. May, representing the postoffice de­ partment, arrived in Exeter Thursday of last week and met a number of citizens at an emergency meeting held in the Bank of Com­ merce chambers.1 At this meeting pertinent facts relating to the pres­ ent site, population, total assessment hydro system,'water supply, fire pro­ tection, industries, banks, etc. were presented for their consideration and. duly tabulated. Following the meeting Mr. Win­ ters and Mr. May were taken for a drive around the town and the var­ ious points of interest pouted out. We .gathered from their attitude that these gentlemen were favorably impressed with the claims of Exeter and we trust that they will make re­ commendations accordingly. One thing they favorably commented up­ on .was the splendid work done by the Horticultural society in improv­ ing Federal Park. It is proposed to keep in touch with- Mr. McMillan in order that, if necessary, a delegation be sent to Ottawa, to interyigw the Hon. J. C. ,Elliott, Minjater<b?i/Public Works, at au opportune tiiW- when” Exeter’s claim for a. new pqstoffice will be pushed’ to tiie utmos|. ■ ■ ■' 1 ......... ie of laying our ostoffice before was taken ,up McMillan, MJ?, who immediately the postal anthor- DEATH OF SOLOMON HARDY .On Thursday morning the 15th in’st, there passed away at his home on Simcoe St., Mr. Solomon Hardy in liis 7 6tli year. The deceased be­ came seriously ill about a year ago with heart trouble and although he enjoyed several periods of relief, meanwhile his ailment gradually be­ came worse until death came as a welcome release. Born in Waterloo county of Yorkshire parents, Mr. HarSy in youth came up to Hay- Township where he engaged in farm-, ing and afterwards in the meat busi-’ ness at Zurich. While there lie married Elizabeth Pfaff, who sur­ vives him. Later he moved his family to Carsonville, Mich., but re­ turned to Canada- after two years ‘and conducted a meat market in Ex­ eter for a, time. When he sold out this business he became the General Agent for the Huron Weather Insur­ ance .Co. and in this capacity his- genial disposition and forceful en­ thusiasm won many friends both for himself and the company. The de­ ceased was a man of Stirling charac­ ter and of strong convictions alwhys taking an active part in church and Sunday School. Besides his widow lie leaves to mourn his loss, two sons, Earl and Newman, .now of Saskatchewan, and four daughters, Mrs. S. F. Rickbeil, of Worthington, Minn,; Mrs. J. G.

They gave a very clever performance that was thoroughly enjoyed by the large and apprecia­ tive audience, which heartily ap­ plauded the various, numbers. The program was varied and well-balanc­ ed and the artists took their parts in a manner that held the attention of the audience and displayed the skill of the performers working under such a handicap as the loss of their sight. The Sunbeam Trio are all grad­ uates of the Brantford Institute for the Blind and Miss Slay is at present studying at the Toronto Conserva­ tory, having won a scholarship. Each artist is skilled in her particular line and although, the company is small the program is so varied as to be particularly pleasing. The Pastor, Rev. D. McTavish pre­ sided.
