The Crediton "Duffers" and the Exe- ter baseball teams played a game on the recreation ground here Friday night, resulting in favor of Crediton by a score of 8-7. A fair crowd of en- thusiasts was on the ground cheering on the boys, and much more than us- ual interests was manifested by the people attending. Five innings were played. Nearly all the runs w ere made by each of the teams in their first innings,a series of errors account- ing for most of the runs made by both teams. The seed meeting which is to take place at Orediton under the auspices of the South Huron Farmers' Institute is to be held on June 22nd, not June 2 as advertised. This meeting is expect- ed to be very interesting and an edu- cator in the matter of obtaining clear seed, and the eradication of weeds. Mr. Annis is to speak. The Dominion and Provincial Governments and the Farmers' Institutes are doing a great deal for the Agricultural interests to- day and the farmers should he alive to the opportunities afforded by such meetings. The Mitchell Advocate of last week says regarding a former Exeter lady: "At noon on Monday Mrs. W. F. May came within an ace of losing her life by choking. While at dinner.a bone, about two inches in length, lodged in her throat, and for several minutes every effort to remove it was unavail. ing. Dr. Atkinson was hurriedly sent for and the family were terribly alarm- ed as the lady was fast being strangled to death. At a moment when it was thought there was no hope, the bone w.as removed and Mr's. May gradually revived. For couple of days the un- fortunate lady was ill from the effects i of the shock to her system." , ..

The sad death took place in Forest early Saturday morning last of Eliza Ann Higgins, wife of Robert Pickell, at the age of 25 years, 5 months and 11 days. Deceased had been illduring the past three months as a result of a fall which she sustained upon the side- walk. She was carrying her little son at the time and in trying to save him from being hurt she fell heavily and caused an internal wound which some two weeks ago developed into. blood poisoning and the end caws more quickly than was expected. She had always been a strong and healthy lady and the news of her demise came as a surprise and shock to her many friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Pickell were mar- ried in September of 1903, and for some months resided here, prior to their going to Forest to reside. Be- sides the husband, a little son survives. Deceased was a daughter of the late Benjamin Higgins and was horn and raised in Exeter and vicinity, and was very highly esteemed. Her mother, Mrs. Thos. Elston, survives, as also do four brothers—William of Usborne, Robert of the Northwest, Elijah of To- ronto and Thos. of Forest, all of whom have the sympathy of their many friends. The remains were brought here, via Lucan, on Sunday afternoon and the funeral took place from the residence of deceased's mother, Mrs. Elston, Main st., on Monday at 10:30 a.m., to the Exeter cemetery.
