The in­ jured man, with his brother Basil, and Mr. Bloome were working side by side unloading sugar beets from the wagon into a C.N.R. car at Cen- t/ralia. Unnoticed by his fellow-work­ er, Mr. 'Cronyn changed his position and coming within the path of his companion’s fork, was struck heav­ ily over the left eye. The blow in­ flicted a deep gash an inch long be­ low the upper eyebrow, as well as severe bruises and shock. It is be­ lieved that the sight of the injured optic will not be impaired. Medical services were rendered by Dr. Fletcher, Exeter. A young son and daughter of Mr. Cronyn both suffer­ ed recent injuries. FRACTURED RIBS CRASHES THROUGH PLATE GLASS AND BADLY CUT While attempting to remove an awning from in front of his father's office, Edmund Ward, son of Dr, and Mrs. John Ward, had a narrow escape from death on Monday after­ noon when the ladder on which he was standing slipped, and ladder and young man crashed through a large plate glass window. Ed. land­ ed on a jagged edge of glass which punctured the abdomen. He showed -a great deal of grit as he was as­ sisted to the office of Dr. Fletcher a short distance away, where the wound was dressed and later he was removed to Victoria Hospital in ■London. The sound of falling glass attracted several to the scene. The plate .glass was about seven foot square and it was smashed to atoms. The largest piece left was less than two foot square. There were sever­ al eyewinesses to the accident. Fol­ lowing his removal to the hospital Edmud underwent an X-ray and operation. He perhaps owes life to the fact that the glass a rib or otherwise the -glass have penetrated further. His and mother accompanied him city. He is at present making satisfactory recovery. Dr.( Ward, who is an optician and chiropractor, had several pairs of glasses in the window at the time, but not one of them was broken. The window covered by insurance.

He is to be found regularly at his office every day. It was on, July 3* 1867, two days after Confederation that Dr. Browning hung out his shingle in Exeter where he has prac­ ticed continuously ever since.

The sup­ per had been originally planned for Wednesday but owing to the severe snow storm had to be postponed. The supper on Friday evening was exceptionally well attended and the ladies provided a very bountiful re­ past. As the roads were blocked the entertainers from Goderich and II- dert'on were unable to be present and the program following the sup­ per but ing Solos were sung by Mrs. A. O. El­ liot, Miss K. Strang and Mr. Walter Cutbush; coronet solo by Mr. Hy. Gidley; solos by Jim Taylor with guitar accompaniment by Misses W. Fraine and N. Mclnnes; Mr. Thos. Pryde made a very acceptable chairman. a was more or less impromptu at the same time was entertain- and delighted the audience. HEARING CANDIDATES Owing to the fact that Rev. McMillan, of Ottawa, had accepted another invitation before receiving the one from Caven Presbyterian Church, Exeter, the congregation has resumed the hearing of applicants. Last Sunday Rev. Mr. Jamieson, of Islington, who graduated from Knox College in April preached very ceptably. Two more selected by committee will be heard before congregation will meet again. J.A. Applications are being asked for through the press for,the positions of clerk and treasurer tor rhe Coun­ ty of Huron. It is quite possible that a couple of applications will be made from this community. There is a rumor that Mr. James Bal- lantyne, Reeve of Usborne and War­ den of the .County, will be an appli­ cant for the position of treasurer. It has been principally through the un­ tiring and determined efforts of Mr. Ballantyne that an exposure has been made of the financial conditions of the County.
