LITTLE LAD BREAKS LEG Ross, aged three years, son Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Knight, of Highway, north of Exeter, had misfortune bo 'break his leg Tues­ day afternoon. He was in the yard playing with his brother and was running when their dog backed front of him and he fell over With the above result. Th© death took place in Exeter on Friday, September 18 th, of Mr. Thomas Flynn in his 79th year, On August 21st last, just about a month previous, his wife Pheolbe Baker passed away. Mr. Flynn was in failing health at the time and has been gradually growing weaker. He was born in Ireland and came to this country with his parents and, two brothers and one sister he being tlie last of the family. .He was mas*. Tied in 1878 and resided at Credit- on before coming to Exeter about thirty years ago. For a number of years Mr. Flynn was sectionman on the London, Huron and Bruce Rail­ way. He is survived, by six chil­ dren, Mrs. R. Treble, ‘ Ernest Flynn and Mrs, Lovell, of London; Mrs. Brownlee, of Seaforth; Bert, of Cleve, Sask.; and Russell, of Sarnia, all .of whom with the exception of Bert wer© present for the funeral. The funeral was held .Sunday after­ noon conducted by’Re.v. D. McTav- ish, interment in the Exeter ceme­ tery. At the anniversary services in the James St. United church on Sunday Rev. Dr. Laird, of Toronto, treasur­ er of the United Church in Canada, was the special speaker and brought to the large congregations that were present both morning and evening a gifted and eloquent appeal for a greater devotion and a deeper sacri­ fice in the interests of the church and humanity during the troublous and trying times world, is passing, ing message was 15:1, "We then ought to bear the infirmities of the 'weak, and not to please ourselves.’’' The strong man reveals his strength only when he bears the infirmities of the weak. It was said during the Great War that the unpardonable sin was to demand for oneself a safety that was not offered to others. What is true of a great nation is true of the Church of the living God. The speaker believes that a new. day is dawning. Heathen na­ tions are judging the Church not by what .we say but ,by what we do. He spoke of the work of Sweitzer in Africa. He spoke of the trying times through which the people in Saskatchewan are passing and spoke 'of it as the' Church’s opportunity during this strategic time to show whether we have the grit ‘and the sand to lend a hand. Ontario and Quebec will need to raise $100,000 more this year than under ordinary circumstances. We live the ideal life only as we express it in service. In the evening Mr. Laird took for his text Isaiah 32:2 "A man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place; as a shadow of a great rock in a weary land.” The prophet is telling what a good great-hearted man may be to his fellow man. Few have any knowledge of what life or death means in the desert; what the sha­ dow of a great rock or an oasis may mean to the weary traveller. Many of us prefer that others may do the hard thinking; make sacrifices, as we sit nt home and let things take their course. Human life has its vast wearying desert places as men beat up against the blighting, blast­ ing influences of life. To- shelter the weak and defenceless; to open the door of hope; establish hope where hate and- injustice have long held sway is a great task.. ■Special music was provided by the choir under the. leadership of Mr. Goulding, An anthem and a ladies sextette was sung in the morning and in the evening Miss Vera Essery took ad obligato solo in the anthem and a men's chorus was rendered- with Mr. Walter Cut­ bush taking a solo part. On the platform with the speaker in the evening was Rev. J. W. Down, who had charge of the service and Rev. C. J. Moorhouse, the Main Street church having withdrawn their ser­ vice, Tile collections for the day amounted to $575.00. Mr. Ted Moyle of the Exeter Lum­ ber Co., had the misfortune to come in contact with the shaper at the factory Tuesday afternoon cutting deep gashes in thfee of his fingers and slightly scraping th© bone. The injured members' were attended by! Dr, Fletcher. Mr. Moyle was fortun­ ate in that his fingers were not severed'. EXETER FAIR REST IN YEARfs ! The Exeter fail- this year was one > of the best ever held in town, The , weather was ideal and a large crowd of people was present Wednesday afternoon, many having come from miles around. There was a great line of attractions with something doing all the time and this kept the crowd scattered. The show rings with their live stock were at­ tractions for many and although the showing in the horses and cat­ tle were not up to other years there were some splendid animals on ex­ hibition. The showing of poultry was the largest ever seen on the grounds, In front of the grand stand the Brunswick Trio delighted the large audience and their numbers were repeatedly encored. The Forest Boys’ Band enlivened the afternoon with their splendid music. A soft- ball game between Seaforth and Exeter was an easy win for the vis­ itors. A large crowcr watched the game. The trials of speed which included a green race, relay race and chariot race added to the at­ tractions and rounded out an after­ noon of real entertainment. A para­ chute jumper took off from an aero­ plane at about 2,000 feet in the air and he made a rapid descent it be­ ing only at the last minute when a short distance from the ground his parachute fully opened and ed him from a bad crash. A number of girls who will part in a girls’ chorus in "Corporal Eagen" paraded to the grounds in uniform headed by the old fire en­ gine and sang several selections in front of the grand stand. The indoor exhibits were excep­ tionally good, in fact they have never been equalled before in Exe­ ter. In the ladies work all of the sections were well filled with new and excellent work. Some of the exhibitors showed for the first time in Exeter and came from long dis­ tances. The. art work was excellent and well filled. Roots and vege­ tables were of excellent quality as were the apples school children’s filled ’and keenly The merchants took special interest .yery... fine exhibits, being R. N. Rowe, TVaquair and Lindenfield, D. W- F. Beavers, W. J. Beer, F. Raibethge, Jones & May, Spnthcott Bros, W. W. Taman and the Exeter Lumber Co. The Canadian Canners had an ex­ hibit worthy of special mention. Another exhibit worthy of note was five beautiful black and grey fox furs the animals having been raised in Exeter by Mr. Geo. Hawkins. The officers and directors this year have put forth special efforts to make the fair a success and are to be congratulated on splendid results.
