SHOW The Horticultural Society is hav ing a flower show on Friday and Saturday of this week. The citizens should assist by bringing blooms to make the show worth while, The object should be that of helping the Society rather than getting a few cents as a prize. Surely the honor of having the finest roses, or the fipist asters, or the finest of any flower should in itself be reward enough for the work done to grow and exhibit fine specimens. Let everyone boost for the flower show. *5'ize lists are available at the ofl’ictM of the secretary, Mr. J- G, Stanbwry* Oral prizes are being awarded. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

The roads are good practical­ ly all the way but at the northern’ end there are many twists and turns which keeps the motorist on 1 the alert. At present improvements are being made to the highway straight­ ening out the curves which will be a [ decided advantage in motoring. That section of the country is full of' American tourists. a HONORED ‘ BEFORE'' LEAVING ~ ' EXETER FIRE DESTROYS BUILDING .Just before eight o'clock Monday evening fire broke out in the office of Mr. M.
