The bride was dressed in swagger suit and wore a sand trimmings while her ies were of the same color scheme.

EMering- sister-in-law, sued the es­ late Richard At the High Court non-jury assiz­ es- held at Goderich last week the action of Ellerington vs. Quinton was tried before Mr. Justice Kelly, of Toronto. The trial lasted a day and a half and was strongly contest­ ed on both sides. As- the litigants are well known in this community the case aVoused considerable terest here. Frederick ton, with his wife and Miss (Margaret Quinton, tate of their uncle, the Quinton, of which they are Execu­ tors, for $9,500 for care and -keep during the last six years of his life. The only remaining Executor, a nephew, Thomas Quinton, contest­ ed the claims on -behalf of the es­ tate and counterclaimed against Mr. Ellerington -on a promissory note in favor of deceased which, with inter­ est, now amounts1 to about $4,600. A dounterclaim was also entered ■against Miss Quinton to account for the proceeds of a Victory Bond of $1,000, held in trust flor her uncle. The Blain tiffs- claimed that Richard Quinton had told them -they were to file claims against his estate when he died and evidence was given that in his, later years the deceased was troublesome. However, on cross-ex­ amination it was brought (out that in a previous examination they had not so reported the promise, nor had they ever asked Mr. Quinton for payment in his lifetime, although in need of money. He was describ­ ed as a man of sturdy honesty who would not have left unpaid any claim which he considered he /owed. His nieces admitted that they had each received a hundred acre farm valued then at $6,000, from their uncle some years ago, -and later a Victory Bond while Mis/s Quinton also received $6iOiO. Mr. and Mrs. Ellerington and family of five had lived in the home of deceased since 1919 free of rent, taxes or repairs and had received liberal advances. Mr. J. G. Stantoury, of Exeter, who defended the action, did not call any witnesses, relying entirely oil the admissions obtained from the Plain­ cross-examination of the dis- lengthy E.

WOODS A shadow of deep gloom was cast over this community on Thursday of last week as the news .spread rapid­ ly of the sudden and tragic death of Mrs. Woods, wife of Mr. T. Stafford Woods, manager -of the Bank or Montreal, Mrs, Woods, while on the cellar steps, fell backwards striking her head on the basement floor and her lifeless body was found shortly afterwards 'by Mr. Thomas Oolling- wood, caretaker of the banki, who had occasion to’ visit the cellar. Mr. Woods was at Goderich at the time having been called as a witness in a court action that was being tried that day. He immediately returned to his home on receiving the sad news. Mrs. Woods, who was apparently in good health, was engaged in her household duties, and while ascend­ing or descending the cellar steps fell backwards to the floor. The base of the skull was fractured and pie neck broken. It was less than rten minutes after Mrs, Woods had |heen talking with Mr. L. Wells In rtlie garden, that the accident was (discovered. 4 Coroner Weekes was called’ immed­ iately and found that M'rs. Woods ’jiad been dead for several minutes and estimated the time of the acci­dent about eleven o’clock a.m. He considered an inquest unnecessary. Miss Marion- Woods was at home at the time and Miss Catherine, who is an employee of the London Life Assurance Go., was quickly brought from the city by friends. Mrs. Woods’ maiden name was Katie Talbot Heald, she being in her 5 9 th year. She -came to Exeter about fifteen years ago with Mr. Woods from Dutton and during her residence here had made many friends. Besides those already men­ tioned the -deceased is survived by one sister, IM'rs, Grenville Finch- Noyes, of Oakville. Deceased was a member of the Trivitt Memorial church. The funeral was held from that church ion Saturday afternoon before a large congregation. Rev. M. A. Hunt, rector, was the officiating clergyman. The bearers -were Dr. J. G. Dunlop, Dr. G. S. Atkins-on, W. W. Taman, R. G, Seldon, F. A. May and H. C. Rivers. Numerous floral offerings paid silent tribute to the esteem in which the deceased was held. Following the service the re­ mains were taken to Stratford where interment was made in the Avondale cemetery.

Official nominations will be held June 12th and advance polls- will be conducted on June 16th and June 18th. The number of seats was recently reduc­ ed from 112 to 90. The Conserva­ tive party was elected on October 30th, 1929- with 91 seats. Honorable Geo. S. Henry replaced Mr. Fergus­ on in the premiership on December 15th, 1930. The forthcoming elec­ tion is the third since the Conserva­ tive administration came into power. VOTE FOR THE BY-LAW On Monday next the ratepayers of Exeter will be called upon to vote for the By-Law authorizing the coun­ cil to raise $28,000- for the installa­ tion of a pure water supply. By voting that amount it does not mean that the council will spend the whole of it but gives them the pow­ er to go out and make the best bar­ gain they can with the contractors, up to that amount if necessary.

If .people have a satisfactory water supply it will not be necessary to put in the new system. If it is found- to toe a good thing people will link ui> with it- the same as they have with the hydro.Will it increase our taxes? The engineer has stated that it should not increase the tax rate. He estim­ ates that the revenue from the pres­ ent system at the rate t-he users are now paying should take care of the cost of the new system and in addi­ tion should show a profit each year. Why make the change? At pres­ ent the water users are paying for something that is very unsatisfac­ tory and is fraught with some dan­ ger. Visitors and new residents coming to town have been known to use the water for drinking and do­ mestic purposes fro m taps thinking it fit for use. Many of the wells in town are becoming contam­ inated from septic, tanks and these are increasing each year. When the present revenue will take care of the new system without additional cost to the town or the water users, ac­ cording to the engineer’s estimates, it seems good business, now to make the change. Prices for labor and materials are as reasonable now as we expect to see them and there is every indication that they are going up. To install the new system this year will give a certain amount of employment at a time when employ­ ment is needed. Now is the opportune time. Vote for the By-Law, Robert Passmore, a student at the Exeter High School, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Passmore, of Hensail, broke the track record for the inter­ mediate half-mile at the WOSSA meet in London on Saturday.

Among the WOSSA Brantford, St. ,-Robert had a twelve foot lead and was awarded a gold medal.i He was also winner of the quarter mile, intermediate, the time being 53 and 2-5 seconds, a quarter of a second slower than the record. For this event he was awarded a silver medal. By winning these events Robert goes to Toronto -in two weeks where he will com­ pete in the provincial meet all of his expenses beng paid. The Exeter School had five representatives and considering the company they were in the boys made a splendid slibw- ing. Lorne Howey won fourth place in the Intermediate mile. This is a par­ ticularly fine showing as Lorne was junior last fall. We may expect to hear more from Lorne later. In the senior mile Harold Sherritt was fifth. In the senior half mile Jas. McEwen was fourth. This race set a new record the time being two min­ utes and three seconds.
