I Fred who, had only been in this country about a month having worked for Mr. Earle Shapton on the 2nd, con­ cession of Stephen ended his life on Thursday last by throwing him* self across the tracks in front of a C. P. R. Passenger train about one and a half miles from Teeswater. Bright had been engaged to work for Mr. Shapton and left this section tor Teeswater only a few days be- $cfre the fatality- topwork* -for-a bro.* ther-in-law of Rev. D. McTavish With whom he worked only one day and left. The following day while assisting in loading hay in a. car at Teeswater he disappeared and when a C.P.R. train was backing into Teeswater,'Bright was sitting along­ side the track and when the ap­ proaching train was a few feet from him he threw himself across rails. The train passed over body cutting it in two. The identification was a small book seated to him that contained name and address and other infor­ mation and in case of accident to notify Rev. D. McTavish, of Exeter. McTavish was immediately noti- he left at once for Teeswa- inquest was held on Tues- Mr. McTavish and Mr. E. attended. While here the Rev. G. M. Chidley, of Road United church occupied the pulpit of James St. church Sunday morning last. Mr. Chidley leaves the latter part of June for his new charge at Watford. He expressed his appreciation of happy associa­ tions during his seven years in the Exeter district and paid a tribute to the community and to the people. The pastor, Rev. D. McTavish con­ ducted anniversary services at Roy’s church. Dr. and Mrs. L. T. Gill, of Gib­ sonburg, Ohio, visited Mrs. Frank Gill the beginning of the week. Dr. and Mrs. Gill are taking a motor trip through Ontario and going back by New York. They took Mrs. F. Gill to Bowmanville with them for a few days. The High School staff finished their duties in Exeter last week. Miss Hale, who has resigned her position on the staff has returned to her home in Gananoque, Mass Baynes is returning to her home in Newbury and intends taking a trip to the Pacific Coast this summer. Mr. Frank Howard, contractor and builder of Sarnia, accompanied by other men-paers of his family motor­ ed here on Sunday and spent the day with a few of his old friends. Mr. Howard is an old Exeter boy being a brother of the late Capt. J. R. Howard, but has been a resident of Sarnia for over 40 years.

DOGS POISONED During the past week three val­ uable dogs have met death through poisoning. Messrs. J. G. Cochrane and Charles W. Ford, both lost Bos­ ton bulls and Mr. Well. Johns lost a hound. ers to the polls for both sides, The result was Poll No, No. No. No. as follows: For 26 66 56 10 Majority The vote posed to spend $7,000 for addition to the as follows: For 16 35 33 1 tion of an school was Poll 1 2 2 4 THE SCHOOL QUESTION Mr. Editor and Ratepayers: I wish to give you a few reasons on which I opposed the recent by­ law. I did. not think it was a fail­ thing to impose a $20,000 on the ratepayers as a debenture for a pub­ lic, school when the old school was built all for public school purposes but when the High School or Con­ tinuation school was stai-ted a room or two was taken for that purpose and as the High school increased more rooms were used for that pur­ pose until they were using 7 rooms out of 12 and crowded our public school scholars out and put them in the basement of the library. But now things have .changed. In the last 4 years the High School attend­ ance has decreased from 200 down to 13 6 on our last report? with one room empty but they will not put Ithem back and an article in the paper said that I should fall in with the views of the majority. I have ,been working for the majority of the ratepayers. They are working for the classes but I am working for the majority of the masses. When I was elected four years ago I had a majority of over 2 to 1 over my op­ ponents and at the last election I got an increased vote of 82. My opponents got 220 while I got 452. Should I fail and disappoint my sup­ porters and boost a proposition which is not a- fair one to them and create a heavy burden on them which is not necessary. Do not think for a minute that I am against education. I have always voted for efficiency in teachers and equipment both high and public and want to give the pupils a good common sense education, but I do not want a Jot of frills and unnecessary things added which is of little use. Now they say I am not in favor of letting the outside pupils come in here, which is not right. 1 say take what we can accommodate. We have pupils coming here from Stephen, Hay and Usborne townships and five different sections to the public sch­ ool from which we get a fee toward their tuition but nothing toward building and we have pupils coming from Lambton, Middlesex and Perth counties outside of our own county for which if we passed the by-law we would have had to foot the whole bill by voting it a public school when there is othei* provisions made by grants for that purpose if pro­ perly applied. Now the attitude, of the majority of the Board is to ig­ nore the majority vote on Monday last and go to the Council for some other poposition. I think if I were the promoters of that unpopular scheme I would try to do the will of the majority or be men enough to resign and vacate the chair to some one that will be fair and do the will of the people. Now in this cam­ paign they mustered all the organiz­ ed forces and the press to try and carry their point and failed and in many cases misrepresented it. TJhey made a house to house canvass and many of them were tenents and ten- ents wives who do not pay one cent of tax. Thanking you Mr. Editor for the space. I am your obedient servant W. H. DEARING Mi*. Colgan, of London, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Walter Cutbush over the week-end. Miss Ruth Moorehouse, of Exeter, was presented with a bronze medal for swimming at the annual Convo­ cation held at Alma college, St. Thomas, held last, week in the Col­ lege auditorium.

Southcott, who been visiting with her sister, Mrs. R. E. Rickard, left Wednesday for Grand Bend to open .up her cottage for the summer.
