the roof. In falling he caught the

ankle constituting the injuries. A
few days off work and he will again
be well.
Troubles never come singly, so Reeve
Bobier thinks. First he had an auto-
mobile that would'nt run except down
a hill. He got rid of it. Next the
Davies' Company thought to give him
trouble in the hog business, but he
wasbonorablyacquitted of that charge.
Then on Friday night someone entered
his office and stole his hog book and
returned cheques covering some
months' transactions. The thief ap-
parently entered through the back
door, took the books and checks from
the front to rear room, examined them
and carried away whiit he wanted.
Mr. Bobier says he is at a loss to know
what use can be made of the articles
stolen, and while it is no material loss
to him it will inconvenience him some-
what.
The Simcoe Reformer of Aug. 31st
has a good article on the canning fact-
ory at Delhi in which it is described as
a big busy concern, employing hun-
dreds of the village people, paying out
over $1000a week in wages. All classes
of people are employed, hors skilled
laborers to children. Delhi realizes
that the canning factory is a God -send
to the villsge, Thomas Keity, factory
inspector for eastern Ontario, reports
that all the canning factories in the
east are very busy, the wages aregood,
and the number of employes is very
large. Some of the villages cannot
supply enough workers and farmers
and their children ar•e employed. This
is the kind of industry Exeter is .get-
ting, Can't you help along the work
a little by taking a few shares of the
Stock which le now being rapidly ub-

Forecasts for September.
A regular storm period runs from
the 22nd to 20th. From Sunday the
23rd to Wednesday the 26th is a time
of maximum storm probability. Look
for a commingling of tropical and bor-
eal conditions, bringing rain, wind and
thunder in some parts, with possible
sleet and early spurts of snow. in the
far north. A reactionary disturbance
is central on the 29th and 30th, causing
low barometer and general change to
storm conditions as September goes
out,
Sanders—Kestle
A quiet wedding took place at the
Methodist parsonage, Hensall, on the
18th at 11:80 o'clock, when Mr. Harley
Sanders of Exeter North and Miss
Lillian
Kestle of Stephen were united
in marriage by Rev. Toll. The bride's
wedding dress was of navy blue silk
and the after dress of green lady cloth.
They were assisted through the cere-
mony by Miss Jennie Sanders and Mr.
Arthur Kestle. The young couple
will reside at Exeter north. We ex-
tend congratulations.
No Fraud .
Magistrate Humber of Goderich
gave his decision in the case of A. Q.
Bobier, who was charged by the Da-
vies Packing Co., with fraud in con-
nection with a shipment of hogs. The
decision exonerated Mr. Bobier on all
the points in a lengthy written state-
ment. Each party pays its own costs,
which means that Mr. Bobier will only
have his lawyers' fee to pay while the
Oompany pays all the remaining costs,

W. C. Wilson of London. The cere-
mony took place at First Methodist
Church, London. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke
are now on a trip to New York, going
by way of the St. Lawrence and Hud-
son Rivers. They will reside in Exe-
ter, having engaged a suite of rooms
in the handsome residence of Mr. S.M.
Sanders.
Endless Prayer Chain.
"Oh Lord Jesus Christ, we implore
Thee, Oh Eternal God, to have Mercy
on all mankind. Keep us from all sin
by Thy precious blood, and take us to
Thee•eternally. Amen", is the word-
ing of a prayer contained in an endless
letter chain, which was handed to us
the other day by an earnest Christian
gentleman of town. The letter also
stated that it should be sent by the re-
cipient to nine other persons, . and if
such be done on the ninth day he will
experience great joy, but if he refuses
he will be overtaken by some misfor-
tune. The gentleman mentioned be-
lieves and we also believe that while
the prayer may be a good one,it,when
made under the pressure of a threat-
ened calamity, would never be of any
value. He has not taken any notice
of the letter other than to hand it to us,.
and we think he is right. Prayer to
be effective mast be the expression of
an earnest desire and not such as may
be made through superstition or. cow-
ardice.
Death of a Former Resident.
A general breaking up of the system
was the cause of the death of Mr. Jas,
Darling at Teeswater, on the 11th, at
the age of 76 years and 4 months. He
was confined to his room only it week.
It will be remembered that Mr. Dar-
ling was a resident of Exeter for about
twenty years, and left here about 15
years since. While here he followed the
i occupation of painter and decorator.
'He was a native of Scotland. His wife
predeceased him a number of years,
her remains being interred in the Ex-
eter cemetery and his body was
brought here and laid beside her on
Wednesday of last week, the funeral
taking place from the home of Mr. G.
A. K. McLeod. He is survived by one
son, John, of Durham, and one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Forsythe of Teeswater.
They with Mr. Forsythe were here at-
tending the funeral.—in this connec-
tion it may be mentioned that Mr.
John Darling has lost through death
during the past three weeks, his wife,
his little child and his father,
Frayue—Reid.
A happy event occurred at the Meth-
odist Church parsonage in Hensall on
Wed. Sept. 12th, the event being the
marrage of Mr.GarnetJ.Frayne, eldest
son of Mr, John Frayne of Ushoree. to
Annie M.,only daughter of Mr. Wee
Reid of Exeter North. The nuptial
knot was tied by Rev. Toll in the
presence of only the immediate relat-
ives of the contracting parties. The
bride looked very becoming gowned in
white eolienne, and was attended by
Miss Gertrude Smith, cousin of the.
grome. The genorrf was ably support-
ed by Mr. Lewellyn Oke of Hurondale.
Congratulations being over the party
then drove to the residence of the
bride's tattier where as dainty supper
was served, The happy couple left on
the evening train for a short honey
moon trip, The bride's going :sway
dress was of navy blue, and hat to
match, On their return they will
settle down to the stern realitiesof life
on the groom's farm e mile and a
quarter east of Exeter. Their timely
friends join in congratulations for a
happy vdyage o'er the matrimoirial
