LARGE CROWD AT CEMETERY
FOR DECORATION DAY
The Decoration Day services fin
Sunday at the Exeter cemetery were
said by many to be the finest and
most impressive (Service of its kind
that has been held in recent years.
The service was under the auspices
of ’the Exetei* Lodge pf -Oddfellows.
The weather was -ideal, cloudy and
not too hot and it is estimated that
over 2000 people were at the ceme
tery. The brethren of the order
marshalled by Bro. E. Howald and
the Noble Grand Rro, L. Raynham
formed in procession at the inain* en
trance and paraded through the
grounds depositing, a potted geran
ium on the graves of the deceased
brethren. The Dashwood, band was
present and played numerous hymns
that seemed so admirably to fit the.
occasion. After the brethren had
made their round of the cemetery
they gathered in a group and car
ried out a very impressive service.
Prayer was offered by Rev. D; Mc-
Tavish. A splendid oration given in
masterly style was delivered by the Noble Grand Mr. Baynham. This!
was followed by an address by., Rev.
W. Jones. The theme which pre
dominated throughout the service of
the afternoon was the immortality
of the soul. Mr. B. W. F. Beavers
outlined the history of the Exeter
cemetery f. and paid- splendid‘tribute
to the late W. D. Weekes, also Mr.
Jas. Weekes for the interest mani
fested during the earlier years in
laying out'-sunh a beautiful spot as a
last resting -place for -residents of
this community. He also spoke very
highly of-tlie splendid work that has
been done by the caretaker Mr. John
Ford, who -is now in his 24th year
as caretaker of the cemetery. In
terspersing the addresses were sev
eral appropriate selections played py
tbe band. The service was brought
to a close with prayer by Rev. J. B.
Rhodes/

EXETER DROPS TWO
The Exeter ball fans have
treated to some fast ball on the lo
cal diamond in the W.O.B.A. but
the unfortunate part of it is that
Exeter has been coining out at the
wrong' end. The team was in ‘Lon
don Friday where they met defeat
17 to 6. Dundas started the twirl
ing for Exeter “ but was pounded
freely the ■ .first two innings before
being relieved by Meadows. Lon-
.doii scored nine runs in the first two
frames. Exeter scored three runs
the first time ti,p both Beavers-and
Morrison getting three-jbaggers. , •
The game at Exetei" Tuesday ev
ening resulted 13-6 in favor of Lon
don. ' Dundas started on the mound
and was going strong until the
seventh when London scored six
Juns. Lawson relieved him -in ..the ritld’dle -■‘of-.-thQ Innings. Errors on
the part.of the’* locals were respon
sible for their downfall.

THE LATE EDWARD J. CHRISTIE
-Exetei* mourns the loss of one -Of
its most esteemed business men,
Couh'cillor Edward,J- Christie, who
passed away on Thursday of last
week, at Victoria Hospital, London.
Deceased, had not been well all win
ter and for several weeks he was
confined to his home. Five weeks
ago he was taken to the hospital in
London for an operation-when it was'
discovered that nothing could be
■?done to prolong, his life. During the
weeks he. was in London, Mrs.'
Christie was at his bedside. Mr-
Christie was one of Exeter’s, popu-.
lar young business ‘ men, where „he.
was born and where he spent prac
tically all his life. As a,, young man
he entered the employ of the Sov
ereign Bank and after a time he re
signed his position to assist his
father in the Exeter post-office
where he proved himself a very
popular public servant. A few years
ago lie took over the coal (business, of
Mr. Geo.( Mantle and worked up a
very successful business. For two
years he sat as a member of the
Exeter Council and his .death leaves
a vacancy to be filled in the near
future.
Mr. Christie possessed a rare mus
ical talent and for years was a mem
ber of Guven Choir and the Exeter
band. He was also a member of the
Masonic order and the I.O.O.F. His
placg..in the .community will be hard
to fill. In June 1911 the deceased
was married in St. Catherines’ to
Miss Beatrice Luker, who with-one
daughter, Grace, and Mrs. Christie
Sr., mother oif the deceased, are left
to mourn-his loss.. One; sister,. Mrs.
R. R.‘ Rogers, of Toronto; also sur
