We can imagine that Bill had a creepy feeling just about ■ that time. He had often heard stories apd read about bears but to see a. big black fellow weighing about 400 pounds headed in your di-redtioin—-that •' was . 'diifferent. .Efill stoo’d his ground levelled his rifle and bang! He was surprised to hear two other shots fired in quick suc­ cession. Mr. Bear, who’ was clam­ ouring over a log at 'the time; slum])-' ed over the log. As a proof of this a big' black bear was strung up by a rope in front of Southcott Bros. Store all day Monday and was the centre of attraction for many of the community. . On Saturday, , November 4th, Messrs. Irwin Ford, Silas Reed, Chas Salter, Calvert and Bill Chambers left here' by auto with a two-wheel­ ed trailer headed for North B'ay. At Trout River they left the highway for Port Loring on Wilson Lake and after crossing the lake made about a mile portage to the banks of Long Lake where they secured a small cabin in the woods. There were’ a couple of camps near-by. Two days were spent in the woods "with no re-, suits save tired bodies and whetted appetites and the spent about the stove ies. The first excitement nesday when Si Reed morning plunge into the icy waters of the lake. This was not a regular part of the program. Si was stand­ ing on a shelf rock and was in the act of getting into a boat when his foot slipped on' some ice. Throwing out his right arm and holding his rifle in his right hand he managed to catch the side of the boat as he plunged into the water which was many feet deep at the spot. It was back to camp to dry off for him. ■On Thursday the men at the three camps had joined forces in their hunt for deer. They formed up and beat the bush in a V shape some­ what similiar to the way in which a jack-rabbit drive is conducted. Ford was the first to bring down a deer. He was losing no time to get to it when his hat caught in some branch­ es and he went on without it. On his return he was searching for his hat when he came upon a bear. With only one shot in his -rifle he decided not to shoot and the bear in run­ ning away from Ford headed for Chambers. ■ -Calvert Chambers and their guide saw the bear about the same time as Bill and the three rifles barked in quick succession. From the position of the bullet holes it was decided that the bullet from Bill’s' riffle had found a vital spot through the head. The next job was to get the deer and the bear back to camp and it was no easy task. On Friday the boys again went out and this time they were exceedingly lucky in bringing down four deer. Leaving one with the guide the boys left the following morning for with the bear and tour -deer, arrived here Sunday morning but happy. home They tired Oyster Shell Triple Cleaned .

POLLEN—WESTCOTT NUPTIALS A quiet but pretty wedding took place at the James nrreet United Church parsonage Wednesday after­ noon at 2,30 o’clock when Miss Mar­ jorie May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Geo. Westcott of Usvorne, was unit­ ed .in marriage to Mr. William Har­ vey pollen, son of Mrs. and the late William Pollen, The ceremony was performed' by Rev. H. Stainton, The bridal couple were attended by Mr. apd >Mrs. V. L. Roulston, of ,$jmcoe. The bride looked very becoming, in a dress of blue chiffon velvet with grey coat and accessoiues to match. She carried a bouquet of bridal roses and lily of the valley. Following the ceremony the bridal party. m°toreR to the home of the bride’s parents where a< lupcheon was served to the immediate friends, Mr. and Mrs. Pollen left on a motor trip to Toron­ to and other places. Both aire popu­ lar young people in this community and will have the best wishes of many friends for their future wel­ fare. On their return they will re­ side in Exeter. NOMINATION NEXT WEEK The ratepayers of Exeter will this year select their municipal officers one month earlier than has hereto­ fore been the custom. Nominations are less than two weeks away and will be held on Monday, December 4th. It is hoped in this way that the citizens will take a greater interest in municipal matters than has been done during the holiday season. The various municipal bodies have all curtailed their expenditures and these together with the paying up of some of he debenture debts has enabled this year’s council to reduce the tax rate from 4 c mills last year to 3<0 mills this year, as the nomin­ ation comes before the winding up of the business for the year there will be no printed financial statement to place in the hands of the electors. This will be a handicap both to the members of the various bodies and also to the aspirants for municipal office as it has always been around the financial statement that the greater part of the discussions have centered. We might have said at times, hot and interesting. Up to date we have heard of no new aspir- ! ants for municipal office. The mem­ bers of the Board of Education whose term of office expires this year are, L. Day, W. H. Dearing and F. Delbridge. GIRL BREAKS COLLARBONE CELEBRATING' BIRTHDAY While happily celebrating her six­ th birthday Mary Threse, daughter of ,Mr. and .Mrs. Charles Cronyn, of Clandeboye, tripped and fell, break­ ing her collar-bone. This is the sec­ ond casualty suffered by the Cron­ yn children within a short time. Three weeks ago Mr. Cronyn while feeding his horses heard a distur­ bance in the stall of one of the horses and investigating found Pat, his three-year-old sort, unconscious beneath the feet of a horse.
