The word received here on Sunday, June 19th, of the death of Miss Mar- garet Elizabeth Sweet, came as a sur-, prize and shock to the your g lady's relatives and friends in this vicinity. The deceased was the youngest daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jaynes Sweet, who reside about one-quarter of a mile south of town, and was 25 years of age. Miss Sweet had resided in De- troit for some two years and had en- joyed the best of health until about three weeks.ago, when. she was taken ill of an internal'trouble and taken to Harper's Hospital in that city to re- ceive skilled medical treatment and careful nursing. Although quite ill it was not thought necessary that she should undergo an operation until Wednesday of last week; and when her parents were made aware of this they immediately went to Detroit to be with her during the operation, which was performed on Friday by Dr. Harrison, assisted by the hospital surgeons. It was thought to have been successful and Mr. Sweet return- ed home on Saturday evening with the assurance that all would be well, but was grief stricken to hear of her death on Sunday morning at 7.30 o'clock, the immediate cause being embolism following operation. The remains were brougnt here Monday morning and taken to the home of her parents, from where the funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon, the body being taken to the Trivitt Memorial church where service was held, thence to the Exeter cemetery. The great number of beautiful wreaths and other floral designs, which were placed upon the coffin, and the large number of persons who attended the last sad ser- vices showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the people of Exeter and vicinity. Deep sympathy is expressed toward the parents, brothers and sisters in the hour of their affliction. • Miss Eva Huston visited in London last week. The horse attached to Mr. A.

A moment be- fore the little fellow had taken off his shoes, and mounting the fence, jump- ed off, alighting on a sickle with the result that the foot was terribly cut from front to hack.
