Popular goods must be made to meet
the requirements and demands of the
times. We can't stand still; we must
either move forward or backward.
Our goods contain distinct
features
that have artistic merit, and claim the
attention of every customer.
One ceostant aim is to produce gar-
ments that have a character—a per-
sonality of their own, to leave the old
beaten track, and rise above the con-
ventional and common place..

At the conclusion of the Weekly
Prayer meeting in Caven Presbyter-
ian Church on Thursdaylast the mem-
bers took advantage of the occasion
to recognize in a pleasant and most
happy manner the worth of their
choir leader, Mr. Jos. Senior, by pre-
senting him with a handsome and
costly marble clock of the latest de-
sign and fitted with expensive jewelled
works. The presentation was made
by the pastor, Rev. W. M. Martin,
assisted by Mrs. Geo. Samwell. Mr.
Senior was taken wholly by surprise
and with emotions almost uncontrol-
lable accepted the gift,with grateful
appreciation. Mr. Senior has been
faithful in the discharge of his duties
and this kindly act of recognition
could not have been more deserved
ly bestowed.
Presbyterian Anniversary.
The Anniversary services of the Cay -
en Presbyterian church were held last
Sunday and passed off very successful
ly. The Rev. Mr. Glassford, of Guelph,
preached morning and evening with
great acceptance, The congregations
were large and listened with close at-
tention to earnest and practical ser-
mons. In the afternoon the Mission
Band of the congregation held their
annual offering service, being address-
ed by Mr.* Sarcessian, an Armenian
student' from Knox College, Toronto,
on his experiences in bis native land at
the time of the Armenian atrocities.
The offering at the Mission Band meet-
ing amounted to $35, and the free -Will
offering at the other services to $128.
The music given by the choir of the
congregation ryas` much appreciated,
While Mise Mildred Mtllcol!n,of Detroit,
tendered at the evening service the
solo, "The Home Land" very geeept-
abiy,
Miss Gertie Gould on Tuesday after-
noon underwent a surgical operation

appreciative language to the high
standard of purity, simplicity and
sincerity, exemplified in the life of the
late Bishop Baldwin.

Died at Brynttston.
There died. at the residence of his
son, F. R. Kestle, in the village of
Bryanston, on Saturday morning last,
a well-known and much respected for-
mer resident of Usborne and Stephen,
in the person of John R. Kestle, in his
80th year. The deceased had not en-
joyed good health for several months
previous to his demise, the nature of
the trouble being a general wearing
out of the system. For many years
Mr. Kestle was a tiller of •the soil in the
township of Usborne, residing south
of Bethesda, where he was much re-
spected for his good qualities of both
heart and head. From there he mov-
ed to the township of Stephen, where
his wife died, and since then• he has
had no permanent place of• abode, mak-
ing his home with his sons and daugh-
ters. He is survived by several of a
grown-up family. His remains were
brought here for burial on Monday
last.
Fairly Well Presented.
The Ed. F. Davis Opera Company
presented Uncle Tom's Cabin iu Gid-
ley's Opera Hall Monday evening to
a well filled house.. This old and popu-
lar play never fails to draw a large
crowdno matter whether the com-
pany putting it on is known or not.
On this occasion the people were fairly
well pleased with the presentation.
The parts of•EvaandUncleTom, the two
characters that make the strong draw-
ing cards for this show, were well tak-
en by Bessie Troy and Herbert Church,
while the remainder of the company
played their parts upon the stage in a
very creditable manner. The fake
business of charging 35 and 25c. ad-
mission at the door and an extra 10
cents for reserved seats was certainly
a small and dirty piece of business and
a discredit to any show company. The
music was very much below the aver-
age in both the band and the orches

Death of Mr. Jetties Pickard.
This week sees another of the veter-
an business men of the village depart-
ing this life, and one, who, in those
good old pioneer days, was a leading
light and influence toward making our
pretty little village what it is to -day.
We refer to the death of Mr. James
Pickard, who passed to his reward on
Sunday morning last at the great age
of 83 years. Through his varied com-
mercial enterprises no man was better-
known in the community than he.
For some few years the sands of time
have been working their inevitable on
his once robust and rugged constitu-
tion and this coupled with the telling
effects of a series of strokes of paraly-
sis could not help but be severely felt
and gradually weakening the vital
cord was snapped. An Englishman
by birth, having been born in Devon-
shire, from where so many of our in-
habitants emigrated, he came to
Canada a poor boy, and to Exeter in
1852 with little but his natural quali-
ties to fit him for a fight with the
world, in what was even then a• com-
parative wilderness. He at once open-
ed a store on a very small scale but by
dint of industry and faithful applica-
tion to duty his business increased as
the country grew until it assumed
such proportions that he found him-
self compelled to erect larger quarters
and the commodious building now oc-
cupied by Messrs. Hawkins & Son
was the result of his enterprise. He
went on to thrive for many years but
misfortune overtook hien and he was
compelled to retire from business life,
some fifteen or sixteen years ago. He
was a man much interested in public
affairs particularly those things per-
taining to the welfare of the village.
He was among the number who form-
ed the first council board of the village
and identified hirnself actively in the
Agricultural Society as well as many
other local organizations. In religion
he was a Methodist and when health
premitted was a regular attendant, at
the means of grace. In politics he was
a staunch Conservative. The late Mr.
Pickard was twice married, his first
wife being Miss Eliza Welsh, who. pre-
deceased him over twenty years. and
his second being Mrs. Geo. Harwood.
who, together with three sons by his
first wife, survives him. The sons are
William, of Seaforth; Jonathan, of
Drunxbo, and Richard of Duluth, Minn.
The funeral, which was largely attend-
ed, took place to the Exeter cemetery
on Tuesday and was conducted by the
Rev. Dr. Hannon.
