An experienced fruit grower •says that the fruit growers have reason to be thankful for the cold snap of the past few weeks. If the warm weather had lasted it would have brought all the fruit trees into bud, to the ruin of the whole year's crop with the first frost.

In addition to this the band promises to play for church socials, garden parties, etc. This is done for a consideration of $100 grant which is given by the town council. Why cannot our council board consider,the band question for Exeter in the same light? There is good material among our young men for a first class band and a move in this direction should be made at once.
