ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT CENTRALIA * An attempt was made to rob the Centralia Farmers’ Co-operative warehouse at Centralia Monday night, and the robbers might have been successful had they not been frightened away by some of the vil­ lagers. Mr. Frank Lewis suspected something was wrong and he got in. touch with Gordon. McDonald who telephoned Mr. Geo. Hicks, the man­ ager of the Company. Mr. Hicks, armed with a shotgun and accom­ panied by iMr. McDonald and Dick Parker went to the warehouse where the thieves were trying to gain an entrance by prying off some boards. The thieves took to their heels, run­ ning behind some box cars and disa­ ppeared. They abandoned their auto which had been parked near the schoolhouse and which was tbumd to- be a car that had been stolen London the same evening. “POPPY DAY” FRIDAY Friday will be Poppy Day when ■poppies will be sold on the street -of Exeter under the auspices of the Ex­ eter branch of the Canadian Legion, Canada has adopted the poppy as a -symbol because of the 60,000 graves in France and Belgium and because of the 170,000 Canadians to whom the conflict brought disablement of one kind and another. -On Poppy Day this Dominion pauses in its nor­ mal activities to recall the sacrifice of its young men, to pay tribute to their heroism and .hardihood and the uncomplaining fortitude with which they bear the privations and suffer­ ings. At the same time Canada tries to liquidate in some small measure, an obligation to those disabled men whose only means of livelihood is the making of those simple emblems.

ANNIVERSARY , The Main St. United church anni­ versary services on Sunday were a splendid success. Large congrega­ tions \yere present both morning and evening. The special speaker for the day was Rev. Archer Wallace, Toron­ to, associate editor of the Sunday ' School papers. Mr. Wallace is a very pleasing and entertaining speak­ er and delivered two very impressive sermons. Mr. Wallace also gave an address at the open meeting of the Sunday ■School in the afternoon. The service of song throughout the day was- also very inspiring. The choir was ably assisted by Mr. Frank El­ liott and his sister, Mrs. A. Clark, of I Brantford, nephew and niece of the ' pastor, the Rev. A. E. Elliott. They 1 each sang a solo and also a duet at i each service. Both possess very rich voices and have splendid control and ! their singing was a delight to hear, j A beautiful bouquet of yellow mums [ adorned the pulpit placed there by I Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Johnston in ■ memory of their daughter the late j Dr. Mary Johnston. Caven Presby- i trian church withdrew their ser­ vices for the day while Trivitt M©m- j orial and James St. -churches with- ■ drew their services in the evening. Rev. Mr. Hunt and Rev. Mr. Stainton took part in the evening service. The theme of Mr. Little’s sermon 1 at the morning service was that God j is everywhere taking for his text the j words of Jacob “Surely the Lord is in I this place and I knew"it not.” Jac- ; ob, who had associated God with his ! father’s house was surprised to find | him in the open spaces at Bethel.

The speaker paid tribute to humble souls whose Influences on the lives of youth had been of untold value. The special collections throughout the ' day amounted to around $760.00. along the highway while the D’ATchy i car was turned completely around ‘ facing in the direction from which it had come.

' HOTEL RE-OPENS ► For several days last week Exeter was without -the accommodation of . an hotel the Central Hotel having . been closed for renovation following , the auction sale when the former tenant, Mr. E. Lowry, disposed of the contents, his five-year lease hav­ ing expired and ‘he being in poor health. The closing of the hotel re- 'called the days when there were five hotels in Exeter and thirty-three ho­ tels from the north end of Exeter to Dundas street in London. The Cen­ tral was built over 610 years ago by the late James N. (Captain) Howard who in his time was a local amateur tightrope walker ana who on learn­ ing of Blondin’s feat of taking a man in a wheelbarrow over Niagara Falls carried his own brother William, a man at the time, across the Main St. on a rope attached to a chimney on the Commercial Hotel now known as the Snell block, to a window in the then Pickard building, now the Ford garage. The Central Hotel was for many years in the early eighties a posting station where a depend­ able supply of fresh horses could be obtained. It was also -the main stopping place between London and Goderich. The first proprietor or the hotel was Wm. Wilkinson, who after a year was succeeded by Jas. Oke and Thomas Bissett. Mr. Olce remained 14 years, having taken over the interests of Mr. Bissett, and in turn handed it over to his son- in-law, Mr. W. T. Acheson, who was owner and proprietor for 37 years and is now living retired in town. For five years the hotel was run_by Chester Lee followed by Lowry. Mr. “ the BRIDE-TO-BE ENTERTAINED Mrs. Ed. H. Westcott entertained a number of friends on .Friday ev­ ening in honor of her niece, Miss Marjorie Westcott, whose wedding takes place this month. The gifts in the form of- a grocery shower where brought into the living room on a wagon in a decorated box drawn by Jack Westcott dressed as a groc­ ery man.

Hitchcock SCALP WOUND FROM FALL DOWN CELLAR On Thursday afternoon of week, Mr. Joseph Flynn ,of Stephen Tp., who had been assisting Mr. H. Bagshaw in renovating tne Central Hotel, was found wandering in a dazed condition in the arch of the hotel and suffering from a scalp wound. Mr. Flynn had par­ taken of his dinner at the hotel and had stepped out to purchase a pack­ age of tobacco at the store of Mr. F. Coates and had returned to his work. A few minutes later Mr. .Coates who was passing the ar,chway observed Mr. Flynn wiping some blood from his face and on inquiring as to the cause Mr. Flynn could not tell him what happened. It was thought at first that he might have fallen and struck his. head on a stone pillar. The injured man was removed to the of­ fice of Dr. Dunlop where he went into a swoon. Twelve stitches were required to close the scalp wound. Mr. Flynn also suffered from con­ cussion and was unttole to remem- bei* anything that had happened to him. Another supposition was that for some unknown reason the man might have been attacked and struck on the head as there was no signs of him having fallen. The crown at­ torney at Goderich was communicat­ ed with and Provincial Constable T. McCoy, together with traffic of­ ficer N. Lever and J. Norry investi­ gated and found that Mr. Flynn had fallen down the cellar steps striking his head. At the foot of the stairs they found a mop he had been using, together with his spectacles and part package of tobacco and unfortunate­ ly no one had heard Mr. Flynn fall or had seen him come rrom the cel­ lar. Mr. Flynn was removed to the home of his brother, Mr. Ernest Flynn, in town, and is at present making satisfactory recovery.
