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

FALL IS FATAL
TO MRS. T. S. 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.

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

up to that amount if necessary.

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.
