We’ve seen some of those “odd showers.” In fact March specializes in them—half sleet, half rain, and (if there can be three halves) half snow. But why should anyone want to buy them a present. An absent would be much better. . This item was clipped and sent to us by an Exeter boy Mr. George Beavers, of Toronto. Miss L. M. Jeckell and Mrs. Rhodes are in Stratford attending a. meet ing of the W. M, S. Presbyterial. Miss Jeckell is president of the Hu ron Presbyterial. The members of the A. Y. P.

Rev. Mr. Anthony’s decision to move comes as a surprise to the members of his charge and to his many friends. During his ministry at Thames Road he has won a warm spot in the hearts of his people. He has been a neighborly man ever willing to assist in anything and everything that is for the further ance of the church and society. He has always been a welcome visitor to the Exeter pulpits bringing a vis ion and a message that is heart searching and full of interest. Mr Anthony is a well read man and In addition to being well versed in the international problems of the day he sees something of human inter est and importance in the humdrum of the common toiler. He has been a popular figure on the streets of Exeter and is highly esteemed among the business men arid the social or ders. He will be much missed in the community. Messrs. Sam’l Chambers and Jack Pryde will operate the new fituper- test gas station, formerly the Erie Gas. They will conduct a garage business in conjunction.
