Presbyterian Anniversary.
Despite the fact that Sunday was an
unusually unpleasant day the anniver-
sary services of Oayen Presbyterian
church were largely attended both
morning and evening. The preacher
for the occasion was Rev. R. W. Ross,
M.A., of Guelph,and his sermons were
full of strong practical truths, and
very helpful. He is a forceful and bril-
liant speaker and secured and held the
rapt attention of his hearers through-
out the whole of his sermons, Iu the
evening he took his text from the les-
son of the Good Samaritan and most
vividly pictured the failure of the
Priest and Levite to put into practice
the professions they made regarding
their care of their fellowmen, and the
kind attention giyen the wounded man
by the hated Samaritan, from whom
as an enemy of the Jew's people, no
kindness was expected. Pointed and
useful lessons were drawn from this
story-lessons—of political,business and
social. value. Rev. Ross paid a warm
tribute to the choir for the excellent
music which they. rendered, and the
general opinion is that the tribute was
not higher than deserving. The pro-
ceeds amounted to over $200.
Died in Regina.
On Thursday the sad news was re-
ceived by telegram by Mr. George Hill
of the death in Regina, Sask., of his
second son, George Ernest, which
event occurred on Wednesday at the
are residing with the latter's parents, hospital in that city. The young man
Mr. and Mrs. Bagshaw. had been ill about three weeks of ty-
Mr. Chris. Rau, who has been en- i Phoid fever, during which time he had
gaged as shoemaker with Mr. A. Wal-
ters, is now engaged for a couple of
weeks at Hensall, after which he will
resume his duties here.

received the best of care and had fre-
quently been visited by Exeterites in
that city among whom were Rev. 0.
W. Brown, a former pastor of the
James street church here, who sent
the news of the young man's illness to
his father. Mr. Hill had been . in the
west about three years and had
taken up a homestead near Regina,
doing his improvements and through
the summer working at carpentering
in Regina. He was a young man of
excellent habits, steady and industri-
ous, and was 30 years and 9 days of
age. The sympathy of the many
friends is extended to the father and
the brothers, William and Fred, of To-
ronto, as well as to other relatives.
The remains were brought here for
burial, the funeral taking place from
the home of the father, South Bound-
ary, on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
to the Exeter cemetery.
Service in the Main Street church
was withdrawn on Sunday evening,
owingto the Presbyterian Annivers-

The wet weather caused delay in the

most blockaded the street between
Messrs. Carling Bros. and Messrs.
Snell & Rowe's stores. It was moved
farther up the street on Monday.

Hicks' Forecasts For November.
A. Reactionary Storm Period is cent-
ral on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The diturbances indi-
cations are that the s
com-
ing over from the lsat October period
will he prolonged into this reactionary
period. At any rate, the interval be-
tween the two periods will be unsettled
and threatening, making a "spell of
bad weather" during the closing days
of November. These disturbances of
snow and rain will culminate about the
3rd and 4th and be followed by a rising
barometer, northwesterly winds and
cold frosty nights.
Educational Notes.
At the request of the Inspector the
Board met on Monday evening last to
listen to a lengthy address by him on
the subject of ''`Public School Ventila-
tion." Beyond the removal of some
superfluousboxing and the careful
working of the present appliances no
objection was offered to the system in
use in our school. Miss Vosper is to
be held free from duty until the first
of September, 1907, the Board believing
the strain cif a teacher's work too great
a risk in the present condition of her
health. The school supply committee
are on the lookout for the Entrance
Department and expect little difficulty
in filling the position.

Death of Mrs. James Halls.
The death occurred ou Friday morn-
ing last of an old pioneer of'Osborne
township in the person of Mary Ann
Andrew,relict of the late Jaynes Halls,
aged 72 years and 19 days. Deceased
had lived the greater part of her life in
Usborne township near Elimville, re-
moving to Exeter about five years ago,
shortly after the death of her husband.
While here she resided with herdaugh-
ter, Miss Jennie, on Andrew street,
where her demise occurred as above
stated. She had hardly known what
it was to be sick, until some five years
ago when a kind of rhuematism made
itself manifest, first in one thumb, then
in the wrist and latterly in many diff-
erent joints, sometimes one place and -
sometimes another. Her age and thit
troublesome deceased caused her to be
confined to the house during most of
her residence here, but she was obliged
to keep to her room only during the
last two weeks. She was a sister of
John Andrew of Elimville, and Thos,
Andrew of Gorrie. Besides these the
relatives who survive are, a son, Frank
of Chicago, Miss Jennie at home, Mrs.
P. Gardiner of Blyth, and MissesLottie
and Lilly of Toronto; all of whom have
the sympathy of a large number of
friends. The funeral took place from
her late residence to the Elimville
cemetery on Monday at 2 p. m.
The death occurred at 101 O'Hara
Avenue Toronto, on Wednesday, Oct.
24th, of the wife of Rev. George Brown,
who supplied in the James street
church several Sundays recently in the
absence of Rev. Going. Mr. Brown
had left for Calgary a few days prev-
iously and Mrs. Brown was to have
followed but was taken ill of typhoid
fever. The husband and son, Rev.
0.
W. Brown of Regina, formerly of
Exeter, arrived a few hours before she,
died.
If you want a prosperous town where
people can come who are disposed to
make homes, then do away with and
bury from sight all jealousy and spite
work, move for common prosperity
and mutual benefit. Wake up, rub
your eyes, roll up your sleeves and go
to work. Do not work with fear and
trembling, but take for granted that
blood will tell. Leave results to them-
selves, borrow no troubles, but all un-.
ite to make it the biggest kind of a
town. "Go to work."
The "big head" is a popular way of
expressing a common and very fre-
quent ailment. It arises from varies
sources, but the real foundation is a
lack of sense. A little money develops
it in some people; a few good clothes
gives it to others; a little office, where
a chance is given to exercise a little
authority, is often the cause of it,.while
others get it having a little better job
than their associates. The truth is no
sensible person gets the "big head."
The ones who become:stuck up and stiff-
necked from sources of any kind, are
weak in the intellecttia) caliber.
The farmer, if he only knew it, is a

Death of John Harris.
One after another death is claiming
those of our residents who are left to
tell the good old stories of the pioneer
days. This week sees another laid low
by death, in the person of John W.
Harris, who passed peacefully away
at the home of his son, Mr. Thos. Har-
ris, of the 2nd concession of Usborne.
The deceased has been ailing since
August last, but his condition was not
considered serious until about three
weeks ago wben he was compelled to
take his bed and slowly weakening
from the infirmities of old age the end
came on Tuesday, Oct. 30th. Born in
Devonshire, England, in the year 1832,
deceased came to Canada some 23
years later, first settling in London,
.where he remained a year previous to
removing to Exeter. He was a wagon
maker by trade and for 24 years fol-
lowed that occupation with the late
John Rendle and others here. His
health then failing he decided to start
farming, which he did in the township
of Osborne and where he has resided
ever since. Mr. Harriswaswell known
throughout the c ..eomunity and was
much respected. .le has been a life-
long member of t,. ' Methodist church
and always took deep interest in
matters spiritual. `3esides one broth-
er, Mr. Wm. Hai ,is of Work in
Man., he leaves two sons and one
daughter—Thomas of Usborne, Chas:
of Lyndonville, N. Y., and Mrs. Wm.

the sympathy•of their many friends.

cemetery to -day (Thursday.)
