..SUITINGS
Say, we got in some swell
Spring Suitings last week.
They are right up to the mo-
ment,
Coats are two inches longer than
hest year, and the lapels are so much
broader and deeper that you can't help
but notice them.
The vests are cut with five buttons.
The pants are just a little pegtoppy.
They are beauties alright for $15,
$1S and $20, told no matter where you
go you can't find anything that will
fit ae nicely as they do.

The Advertiser of Monday contained
the following regarding a former Exe-
ter lady: "A quite wedding took place
on Sattirclay afternoon at the Meese
of the Adelaide Street baptist Church,
when Miss May Nelson became the
bride of Mr, Harry Pierce.
While we beautify our gardens and
premises we should not forget aur re-
lativesandfriends who are at peaceful
f i n s p ceful
rest, There are more little mounds in
our cemetery than there are residents
in our town and it is fitting that our Sil-
ent City should be kept in order. None
of vs is too poor bo plant a rose above
the resting place of a relative or friend.
Friday evening a picked team of busi-
ness men and the local nine commenc-
ed a game of ball on the recreation
ground. Three innings were played
when the rain iuterfered and the game
was celled. The scoee stood 5-5 with
the business team one man out. The
game was very interesting, particular-
ly for the regular team, who as an ex-
cuse say that they were letting the
other fellows down easily as a coaxer.
But we fear they will,need a little coax-
ing to remain in the game after .the.
business men get through with them
next time,
Death oi' John C. Gould.
The sad and unexpected news of the
death of John C. Gould of Maitland
street, London, son of Mr., and Mrs,
Richard Gould of Exeter, was received
about two o'clock Monday afternoon.
Mr. Gould had been ill for about ten
days, being troubled with pra,ins in the
head which were probably symptoms
of hemorrhage of the brain, but he
was improving and expected shortly
to be able to leave alehouse. Monday
morning he seemed exceptionally
bright, but shortly after one o'clockhe
suffered a relapse and died a few mo-
ments afterward. Deceased was 37
years of age and had resided in Lon-
don during the pest ten years. For
some years he carried on a. tailoring
business on Richmond street, and late-
ly has been associated in the same bus-
iness on Dundas street with Mr. Slater,
the firm being known as Gould & Slat-
er. Six years ago he married Miss Lu-
cretia Collins of that city and she with
two little daughters, Dorothy and
Mona,survives. Besides the above and
the father and mother two brothers
and three sisters survive. They are
Wm. of Manitoba, Henry, Mrs. James
Shapton, Mrs. Martin Salter and Miss
Olive of town. Deceased was a young
man of exceptionally fine character,
straightforward and upright in every
way and his demise came as a severe
shock to his relatives and friends, all
of whom have the sincere sympathy of
the whole community, The remains
were interred in London on Wednes-
day afternoon.
Mr. E. W. Horne of Milverton visit-
ed friends iu town over Sunday. He
has recently been appointed manager
of the new branch of the Sovereign
Bink to be established in Stratford
this summer. His many friends here
will congratulate him on his rapid ad-
vancement and will join in saying that
he is worthy of the promotion.
From the tone of a letter recently re-
ceived by Reeve Bobier from a promi-
nent G. T. R. official, it would seem
thatit is yet within the possibilities
that the station may be built in a more
central location. The official desired
to know if the town would grant a
right of way. The council is now se-
curing options on the land needed.
A union meeting of the James street
and Marin street Epworth Leagues was
held at the latter church Tuesaay
evening when the visiting League
furnished the program which consist-
ed of readings, a duet and a quartette,
and the Main street League provided
a lunch. Mr. P. Frayne occupied the
chair. A pleasant evening was spent.
W. H. Gregory,sou of Mr. Thos.Gre-
gory of town,lhas succeeded in passing
the second year at Law in Toronto.
He obtained honors and a scholarship
of $40. Herb ranked seventh in a class
of forty-five. When it is considered
that he is the youngest on the roll and
several are graduates of the university,
his taking such a high standing is the
more noteworthy. We congratulate
him.
Messrs. R. N. Rowe and J. D. At-
kinson attended the District Meeting
of the L 0. O. F. at Blyth Tuesday
evening as delegates from the Exeter
Lodge. Mr. J. G. Stanhury of Exeter
was elected District Deputy Grand
Master. Mr. Stanbury is a young man
of much promise in Oddfellowship and
we feel assured that he will fill the
office during the next year in a most
creditable manner.
Broke His Leg.
Mr. Wes. Snell, who is acting as
travelling agent for the McCormick
Machine Co., met with an unfortunate
accident on Monday last 'Which will
necessitate his laying off duty for some
weeks. He, in company with another
agent, was driving in Brantford when
the horse took fright and started to
run away. Mr. Snell thought it best
to jump from his perilous position and
in doing so broke his leg. He was at
once conveyed to the Brantford. Hos-
pital where the injured limb was dres-
sed and he is now doing as well as can
be expected.
The Horse Case in Court
Considerable interest was taken in
the Elliott-Merner case tried in Town
Hall by Judge Holt on Wednesday af-
ternoon of last week. The principals
in the case were W. R. Elliott of Cent-
ralia and Jonathan Merner of Zurich.
The former bad purchased a horse from
thelatter, paying therefor $100 in cash
and giving a cheque for $100; shortly
afterwards believing that the horse
was not sound as the seller had claim-
ed it to be, he cancelled the cheque.
The doctors of law and the doctors
of horseswere called in,and such differ-
ences of opinion arose that the princi-
pals roust needs test the case before one
of His Majesty's Judges. The hearing
was commenced shortly after moon
and lasted until' near midnight. Sev-
eral witnesses, among whom were five
veterinary surgeons, were examined,
the evidence of some of them favoring
the Elliott side and the others the Mere
ner side of the case. However, the
judge held thee it was not proven the
horse had navicular disease or coffin
joint largeness, ii, cotnmon cause of
permanent largeness in the faire .feet,
when purchased, and, judgment was
given in favor of Mr. ,Mernet, Mr. El-
liott to pay all hosts,

was held in Gladman & Stanhury's of-
fices on Monday evening, last week.

of a new fence and gates and the mat-
ter was left over for further considera-
tion.—F. W. Gladman, Sec'y.
Death of Charles Perkins.
On Thursday morning last the death
took place at his residence on William
street of Mr. Charles Perkins, one of
Exeter's highly respected residents.
He was 73 years of age. Deceased was
a native of Deyonshire,Eng., and came.
to Canada with his father when nine
years old, first settling in Halton Coun-
ty, where he lived about twelve years,
coming to Huron County shortly after
his marriage to Miss Almira Wilkins,
who survives him and has thus been
his life partner for half a century.
-They settled on what is now the 4th
concession of Usherne, when this. dis-
trict was very sparsely settled, and
there made their home ou the fears .i
now occupied by their son, Charles 1 ,
for over twenty years. Giving up
farming they came to Exeter where
Mr. Perkins went into the machine
business and sorrne years latter went
into partnership with Mr. S. Martin iu
the business now conducted by S. Mar-
tin & Son. About ten years ago he re-
tired from active business life, anti-en-
joyedgood health in retirement until
two years ago when he . suffered e,
stroke of paralysis fond for a while was
very low. 13e recovered, hnwcter,but
was stricken several times afterwards
and, al hough be recovered each time
sufficiently as to be able to walk about.
it was seen that his con iition was
slowly becoming more feeble. Thrid;
weeks ago he became confined to his
room altogether ,anal fromthat time
gradually sank until relieved of his
suffering on Thursday. Mr, Perkins.
Was a man of excellent character, a:
fond husband and loving parent, while
in all his dealings he was upright and
honorable. In religion he was a Meth-
odist and in politics a Liberal. Besides

A. Q. BOBIER,
Exeter, May 23, 10aa. REEVE,
Arrived at Last•
The long looked for automobile of
Reeve Bobier arrived Tuesday night
last about 10:30 o'clock from London,
where it had been shipped from St.
Williams. For some weeks this carry-
all had been expected but for varied
reasons it did not put in an appear-
ance. However, it was definitely
known that the "infernal- machine"
would arrive some time Tuesday. As
a consequence a curious crowd throng-
ed the streets awaiting its arrival and
when it hove in sight considerable ex-
citement prevailed. Short, free rides
were given until something went
wrong with the works and it had to
be run into the Commercial House
stable for repairs.
