Next! Farmers in this section have com- pleted the wheat harvest and report that the crop has been .harvested in fairly good condition. In the north of the County, however, the rust has played havoc with . the wheat .and much of it has been spoiled. There has been an amendment to the Statutes with regard to the law governing noxious weeds,gaving mu.n- cipal councils power to pass a bylaw compelling owners or occupants to cut .weeds on their premises, but the Stat- utes of 1004 go further and allow come- . cils to compel the destruction of iaox- Arnie weeds on the highway next their' ..premises.

Lutz, Central Drug Store, Agent, Ex- eter, The Ontario Deputy Registrar Gen- eral has issued a circular to localregis- trars calling their attention to the act respecting the registration of births, marriages and deaths that the semi-. annual returns must be in the Provin- cial office not later than the 25th of July. The attention of the public is called to the necessity for the compli- ance with the act. Many picnickers and campers are continually going and coning to and from Exeter and Grand Bend during these days, but as their name is legend, or, as the sale bill says, too numerous to mention, we do not pretend to give an account of these pleasure seekers. Suffice it to say that no previous year has seen such a number of Exeter people and others camping beside old Lake Huron. In a recent issue of the Advocate mention was made of W. S. Baker, ,Huron street, having counted the number of heads of wheat springing from a single grain and found that it contained thirty heads. The heads have since matured and ripened, the chaff rubbed off and are found to have contained 943 well-developed grains. When it is considered that this is the product of only one grain it is all the more remarkable. Morley, the ten -year-old son of Mr. W. J. Verity of Brantford, who is vis- iting his grandmother, 'Mrs. Pickard, met with an accident on Friday last which will materially go to mar his vacation. While at his uncle's, Mr. T. B. Carling's, he climbed a tree in front of the residence and while lowering himself by aid of a limb, his hand slip- ped and he fell to the ground, a dis- tance of several feet, and alighting on the left arm it was broken in two places at the wrist. Medical aid was sum- moned and the little fellow is now do- ing nicely.

Mod Suddenly. The sad news of the' death of Mr. Edward. S. Howard, of Loudon, a former well-known resident of Exeter, came as a shock to his many friends here on Tuesday last. The particulars of the sad. event as given in the Lon- don Advertiser are as follows: " Mr. E. S. Howard, 55 years of age, of 71 Oartwright street, started for work about 8 o'clock this morning, appar- ently in the best of health, and in less than two hours he had expired, a dis- ease of the heart being responsible for his sudden death. Mr. Howard had been enjoying good health, and had made no complaint to any of the mem- bers of the family. This morning when he reached the corner of Queen's avenue and Clarence street, he was overcome by faintness and sat on the steps of Dr. Oven's office, thinking he would be well again after a short rest. Messrs. Thomas Gillean and Malcolm Rowland happened along a few min- utes later, and seeing that Mr. Howard was ill they helped him into the office of Dr, Kingsmill. The latter saw at a glance that Mr. Howard was seriously ill, and he sent word to his wife, who' reached the office before her husband died. In the meantime everything possible was done for the patient, but it was without avail, and Mr. Howard died inless than two hours from the time he had started for his place of employment on King street, opposite the central fire 'hall." Mr. Howard was for many years one of Exeter's best known and highly respected busi- ness men, having conducted in part- nership with Mr. A. G. Dyer, the large planing mill on Station street, which was consumed spare few years ago by fire. The mill was not rebuilt and as a consequence be afterwards did not follow his chosen occupation. In Nov- ember last deceased moved with his family to London where he has since resided. Mr. Howard was a man of more than the average intelligence and his kind-hearted nature won for him the good -will and respect of hundreds of acquaintances who will hear with deep regret of his sudden demise. De- ceased has filled different public offices in the gift of the people of Exeter, and among others he served at both the trustee and council boards, in which capacities he displayed discretion, tact and gond judgment. He was a valued and consistent member of the James street Methodist church and an active worker in the good cause. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge here, under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted. His remains were brought here from that city last even- ing and the funeral will take place from the residence of his brother, Mr. J. N. Howard to -day (Thursday) at 2 o'clock. He leaves a sorrowing wife and eleven children—eight sons and two daughters—to mourn the loss of a kind husband and parent, and the deepest sympathy of all will go out to the bereaved ones.
