Mrs. W. J. Harness of town has

but 'a letter from her son, Private
Walter Harness clears the matter,
and Bert is tnow rat LordrDerby Wa,xi

Harness at first received official word
from Ottawa that her son. was lydh'ort-
ed missing on August 15th. This was
later denied icy a second telegram and,
a third' telegram was (received
that 'bie had been wounded ani the side:
and head. Shortly 'afterwards, Mrs,
'Harness was the 'recipient of a letter
written on August 19th by Lieut. 'J.
McCateer, officer in the Company

-
fine Strictly confidential; no witness
Once ;more Exeter Fair' goes down
to history' as a success, -The weather
was ideal, the exhibits, except in. the
fruit line, quite up to and in many
cases superior to ,those of other years:
The ,attendancewas large. The at-
tractions, partieu1arly the Highland
Juvenile Band, were as -usual, but the
speecliing events were certainly missed
The total. 'receip'ts were about $800
-or something over $100, mare than
last year,
Perhaps the exhibit that attracted
themost attention and admiration, was
that of the pupils of Exeter School.
It will be given_ further space in, ,our
columnsnext week:
F'ollow'ing• are the prize winn.ers',-
