The special preacher for the day was the Rev. S. Davison, of Wingham, who delivered two very excellent sef-1 mons. In the morning his theme was “Waiting Upon God” and in the evening “The Uplifted Christ.” Both sermons were thoughtful and inspir­ ing and appealed to tthe large con­ gregations. Special music was fur­ nished by the choir sand they were ably assisted by Mrs. Edna Hearts, of Toronto, a former member, whose singing is always appreciated. Caven church withdrew their morning, ser­ vice and the members of the con­ gregation united With Main St. Rev. Mr. Foote, the minister, assisted in the service and led in payer. For tihe evening service James St. United church was closed and Rev. D. Mc­ Tavish occupied a seat on the plat­ form and led in the evening prayer..

A special offering was received during the day and the con­ gregation were very liberal in their •support contributing over $125 0. j EXETER HAS CHANCE TO SECURE NEW INDUSTRY Representatives of an old-estab­ lished firm met the members of the Exeter council and of the Chamber of Commerce in the council rooms of the Town Hall on Thursday ev­ ening of last week and laid before •them a proposition with a view to moving the plant to Exeter. Reeve C. B. Snell presided. The firm has been established for thirty years and employees about forty men most of Whom are heads of families At present the firm is reorganizing and needs more room for expansion. The firm will require two or three acres of land along the railway with a railway siding. On the siding they propose to erect a building about 40 x 150 feet. The article to be manufactured is one with an in­ creasing market and with bright prospects l'or the future. The com­ pany are asking the town for a loan of $10,0 00 to be paid back without interest at the rate of $1000 a year after the first year; free water and a fixed assessment for at least five years. The matter was thoroughly gone into by the citizens present and all were convinced that the company were financially sound, and that wit'll the building and machinery, the town would be amply protected for the Ioan being asked. It was felt that such a factory would be a great boon to our town, as Exeter has felt for a long Mme the need of some industries that would give all the year employment. The taxes receivel from the house­ holders’employed with such a com­ pany would more than repay the in­ terest on the loan being asked. The company were anxious to break ground this fall, and to get going as 'soon as possible. It was pointed out, however, that a by-law must be submitted to the ratepayers and this could not be done in less than a month, but that the council would prefer to submit' the by-law in December at the time of the re­ gular election. At first it was felt that this whs losing too much val­ uable time, but since returning home and consulting with the other dir­ ectors, the company have decided to wait. In the meantime a by-law will be. prepared to be submitted to tflie council at its next regular meeting. The council are also securing what­ ever additional infomation they relative to the concern. can last the STANDARD TRAINING *• SCHOOL FOR EXETER On Saturday afternoon of week a small committee met in Anglican parish hall for the purpose of planning ' for another training school to be held in James Street United church, Exeter on November 26, 27, 28th.

WORTHY CITIZEN OF EXETER IS LAID TO REST Tlife remains of the late Joseph S. Harvey were laid to rest on Friday afternoon last in the family plot in the Exeter cemetery. The funeral, private, was conducted by Rev. D. McTavish, pastor of the James St. United dhurch. Mr. W. R. Gould- Ing presided at the piano and sang a very appropriate solo. Mr. Harvey was born on the Har­ vey homestead on the Thames Road, one and a half miles east of Exeter. Twentynsix years ago he moved to Exeter and with his brother Thomas purchased the Exeter grist mill from Jos. Cobbledick. Since that time the mill has been enlarged and con­ siderably improved and to-day is one of the busiest spots in the commun­ ity. Ever since coming to ’Exeter Mr. Harvey has taken a keen, interest in the welfare of the community. He was a Forrester and for a number of yeai;s he was a member of the Board of Education. He was instumental along with others in forming the Ex­ eter Horticultural Society and as president of that society from its in­ ception up until last year, he took a very deep interest in creating a number of beauty jspots 4.bout the town that toJday are the pride of the citizens and the adnliratlon of many who visit our town. He loved to be among the flowers and his home garden and surroundings contained many beautiful blooms of which he was most liberal in presenting to the church and his friends. In his passing the James Sit. Church have lost a devoted' servant and friend. For seven years hg, was superinten­ dent of the Sunday School and at fch,e time of his death was chairman of the Board of Stewards.

The deceased is bereaved widow, name was Bertha Hope, also two sons and one daugh­ ter. Rev. Linden C. Harvey, M.A., B.D.^pastor of the United church at Courtland, was twice gold medalist at Toronto University while J. Mau­ rice Harvey, M.A., is at present in his, final year at Toronto Medical College. Miss Gladys Harvey is on the staff of the Exeter public school. Three brothers and four sisters also survive.

In addition to numerous • wreaths and sprays from many friends there were flow-J ers from the Exeter Horticultural Society, the Chamber of Commerce; the Official Board of the James St. United church, the Sunday School, the staff of the Public School, the Tutors of Burwash Hall, Toronto and the students in Gate House.

Every­ one seemed to be in a happy mood and having a great time. Many of the homes were visited by the youngestets and in many cases treats were handed out. On the. whole the boys and ig.irls were fair­ ly orderly but a few over-stepped the. bounds and were bent on mischief making. Some wire and a gate was taken from R’ Murphy’s. The gate wa£ found in the river. One lad was bound hand and* foot, being just able to hobble, and was taken about a mile out of town and left to hobble home. In Uisborne and Stephen «. number of lads in a truck removed a number of gates. No serious da­ mage was done and on the whole it was perhaps the most orderly Hal­ lowe’en, in years and the boys ace­ to be congratulated. It is not. necessary to' market your poultr corn, firos.
