Exeter has a chance to secure a knit- ting factory, provided the necessary capital can be raised and the town will givea loan of a similiar amount to that to be given the canning company. A gentleman, who for the present shall be nameless, was in town on Thursday last and interviewed a large number of the business men and cap- italists with a view to foraying a joint stock company. Considerable encour- agement was received and was thought advisable to doll a public meeting for that evening. This was done verbally and a few gentlemen congregated in the reading room of the town hall where the mat- ter was discussed at some length. The result was that a list was commenced of those who would take stock, and some $5000 was subscribed. A com- mittee was formed to consider the matter and to see whether sufficient money could he raised to warrant the forming of a company. $30,000 was the suggested capital. The cost of machinery. would he about $17000; total eost of plant $25000 between 50 and 60 hands would be em- ployed; a two storey building 90x40 ft. and a dye house 50x30 ft. - would be necessary. The gentlemen who pro- posed the establishment of the factory would in vest, $2000. The knitting business is undoubtedly' a good one. It seems to he thriving in other towns and would be a welcome addition to the inannfacturies of Ex- eter. The town .is. on the upward move and if you can help it along it is your duty as a citizen to do so. The Exeter Council. The Council met on Friday evening. All the members were present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A letter was read from Mr. M. Eacrett, a former clerk, stating that be had no knowledge of the man McWilliams being sent to the asylum from Exeter. The family bad been traced to Rodgerville. The following accounts were ordered to be paid: -J. A. Stewart, flannel for cemetery $1.I5; Times Printing Oo., printing for cemetery $7; Western Assurance Co., premium for cemeteiy house, $2.10; H. Parsons, street water- ing and pumping, $2.75; George Ander- son, firemen's salaries, $180; Ed. Ma- guire, North end firemen's salaries, $60; F. Gillespie, freight and cartage, $13.36; Jos. Senior, postage $4; Do., salary three months, $31.25. Some other accounts were left over. Mr. H. .Parsons appealed against -a. business tax on coal business of $5:25 which did not appear on his-assesswent notice. Laid over to uext, meeting. Mr. J. W. Taylor appeared before the council as a representative of the Ross Taylor Company asking for a fixed assessment. He stated that it had been the custom to give most the manufacturies of town a fixed assess- ment and he considered the Ross Tay- lor Company should be similarly treat- ed. They were paying wages of about 55000 and freight bills of about $5000; three-fifths of the work they did was for outside towns and cities. Their present assessment outside of business tax is $2350. He thought this should be reduced to $1200. He urged an early settlement of the matter as the council's action would influence the company in making certain decisions, one of which was whether they would remove from town, as they had been approached by other towns. Messrs. Neaman and Fuke Moved that a re- cord of fixed assessments, etc., be laid on the table at next meeting and that the platter be then dealt with., By-law No. 8, 1906, fixing date for nominations and if demanded places for polling, deputy returning officers and poll clerks, was read toree times and finally passed. Nominations will be taken on Dec. 31st and the polling is necessary at the same places, with the same officers as at the recent by- election. E. Treble moved the adjournment to Dec. 10th.

Sudden Death, The news of the sudden death of Jane Andrews, beloved wife of Wm, Miners, cause as a shock to her many friends in town and coup try. To some. death curves b3 the slowly -ebbing pro- cess of a lingering disease and thus we learn to view tile, circumstances with a consolation of what is expected to follow where deadly disease takes a hold. To others the sun,rnons comes so quickly- that the community is shocked with the suddenness of the event, It was so last week in the case of Mrs. Miners and when the news spread on Wednesday that she was dead it seemed almost incredible. The deceased bad been ailing for three or four years from heart trouble which was tbeimmediate cause of her demise. Coupled with this dread disease„ she was afflicted with tumour and in March last underwent an operation for its removal. This she passed throughwith apparent success, hot about six weeks ago the old trouble again manifested itself and it was seen that she was daily weakening under the strain. After a few weeks, how- ever, her condition seemed to take a turn for the better and her friends looked forward with some degree of confidence to her renovery. But Pro- vidence willed it otherwise. On the Wednesday morning of her death she was not quite so well and was unable to take breakfast with the family. She, however, arouse about nine o'clock and proceeded to discharge her usual household duties and at noon took a hearty dinner. In the after- noon her daughter, Mabel, had occa- sion to do some shopping down town and left her mother apparently in the best of spirits. On her return a short time later she was horrified to find her mother prostrate in death. The de- ceased bad gone to the pantry for something and while there was evid- ently overcome and falling to the floor apparently passed away without a struggle. The deceased was born in Usborne, being a daughter of the late George Andrew, and for the greater part of her life lived in that township. About three years ago the family moved to Exeter since which time the deceased has endeared herself to many. She Was' of kindly disposition, of a lovable nature and was respected and admired by all who formed her ac- quaintauce. Her age was 58 years, 5 months and 23 days. Besides the sor- rowing husband sbe is survived by a grown up family of eight -four sons and fowl daughters -Mrs. T. Johns, of Point Edward; George of Hensall; Fred of Wr ;nipeg; Charles, of London; Alai=e9.- .t borne; Victoria,. Goderich; 'Mrs. Care, of Detroit; .tnd Clarence at home. Also one sister arid three brot- hers -Mrs. Rich. Delbridge; John, of Usborne, George, of . California and Thomas, of Gorrie. The funeral took place on Sunday to the Eliuiville ceme- tery. Usborne PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS. -A very pleasant affair took place at the beautiful home of Mr. Richard Coates on Thursday evening last, the occasion being the presentation of an address and two excellent upholstered chairs to Mr. and Mrs. John Harmer by their friends and neighbors, prior to their leaving for New Ontario, where they intend making their future home. Mr. John Essery performed the duties of chairman, Miss Retta Essery read the address and the chairs were pre- sented by Messrs. Richard Coates and Samuel Skinner.
