W. C. T. 11 Notes. According to previous announce- ments, Miss Wiggins, organizer and lecturer for the W. C.T,U„ spent Wed- nesday, 25th ult., in Exeter. Trac af- ternoon service was held in the Pres- byterian church. Our President, Mrs. E, J. Spackman, presided and before introducing the speaker called on Mrs. Cobbledick and Miss Lewis for a duett. Miss Wiggins, who is now no stranger to us, was warmly greeted by an ap- preciative audience. In introducing the subject, "The home and Society," the first question presented was "Hovw can the home meet its obligations to so train the girls and 'boys, that they may triumph over fife's difficulties and temptations?" God's help must be sought, but we must do our part to produce the best results. A partner- ship with God is motherhood. With the many cares and burdens that come to the mothers in the home* they oft - times forget the glory and dignity of their calling. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, with its mother's meetings, comes to supply the needed knowledge and power to make the home victorious over every evil influ- ence. Two laws rightly understood will cultivate the true purposes of home life -the law of hereditary and the law of environment, or right braining. Where the father sets the example of drinking before his boys, even though he takes it moderately. he is laying the foundation for drunken sons." A. failure to secure obedience, a careless- ness about leading to the right places, and leaving the boys to,get a street ed- ucation, will be certain to lead to ruin. Then the law of hereditary teaches us that we hold within our power great- ness for posterity. Every right act not only strengthens ourselves, but makes possible stronger tendencies for right in our children. When the hu- man family rightly understands and practices these laws, we shall haye purer. sweeter homes and stronger men and women. Miss Wiggins an- swered a question box at the afternoon meeting. A couple of questions bore on the effect localoption might have on business. Miss Wiggins stated that the liquor traffic was a leech upon the legitimate business enterprises. The money spentin rum would be spent in other lines and improve the business, rather than hinder it. Incidents were cited from no license towns in Mani- toba and Nova Scotia, provingthat business improved. In one city, a shoe merchant hired four more' clerks, af- ter the enactment and enforcement of prohibition, and said he sold boots and shoes to drunkards' families who here- tofore had been denied them, A gen- eral merchant's business increased four fold in onesyear. Probably • things would be quieter, for we would miss the rowd"yism and loafing promoted by bar rooms, bat hence would have more comforts, and more money would be- in ein circulation in proper business ehan-. eels. The earning power of the labor- ers would be increased by sober. habits I L O` R Wheat Waisted. which :would be another factor in the Wheat wanted at the Exeter Grist increase of business.

A team belonging to Mr. John Web- ber, and driven by his son, Percy, made a lively runaway on Monday last. Percy struck one of the horses with the whip when the team started to run and soon got beyond his control. When captured about two miles dis- tant they were completely exhausted, but strange to say the rig was not in the least broken nor the horses in- jured. Oran Recital and Sacred Concert. On Tuesday evening of next week an Organ Recital and Sacred Concert will be given in the Triyitt Memorial Church by the choir of the church, as- sisted by members of the other church choirs of Exeter.
