Exeter girls, The former was the re-

A HOUSE FAMINE.
The porblem of securing suitable
living quarters in Exeter is a mat-
ter of concern to not a ,,few families
desirous"' of locating m our midst.
At present we are told there are a-
bout fifteen parties who are look-
ing for houses. Most of them are
wanting to rent, while a few would
like to purchase. Several new houses
will be erected this year, the work
on some of them having already
started.
WEDDING POSTPONED.
A certain young couple of this
town will have reason not to forget
the epidemic of mumps thatahas visi
ted this section, as this particular
sickness has interfered with a matri-
monial venture of the party in ques-
tion. The date was set for the im-
portant event but had to be post-
poned because the bride-to-be was
taken ill, The second date was set
for Wednesday.of this week, but this
time it is the groom who is unable
to enter into the contract, he also
being i11 with the plumps.
RECUPERATING.
Mr. Jeffery Bertram, who has
been ill at Dr. Hyndman's Hospital
for several weeks, has recuperated
sufficiently as to be able to return
to his home in Barrie. Mr. Bertram
was on the staff of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce and has been
given several weeks sick leave. Dur-
ing the past season Jeffery played
one of the wings on the Exeter
hockey team and was one of the
fastest men on the team. His 'illness
during the latter part of the sea-
son weakened the team considerab-
ly. His friends in town hope for his
speedy *return to, health.
OBITUARY.

diner, of Farquhar, took place Satur-
day afternoon from the home she
