THE LATE SAMUEL BEAVER. Comments
The community was shocked ' `on
Friday last to learn of ' the ,quite
sudden death of Mr, Samuel Beaver.l
Last week it was
reported t
hat Mr,
Beaver had contracted scarlet fever
from which several of his children
had been suffering: This was an er
ror as Mr. Beaver was suffering
1
from an abscess of the pharynx nx and
during the night it broke while he
was asleep, causing his death, He
is survived by his wife and six
small children: The case is
particu-
larly sympathetic as just a week
previous their daughter, Verna, died'i
from the effects of scarlet fever and
several of the children were ill with
the same disease. All of them are
getting along nicely at present. Mrs.
Beaver's maiden name was Miss Ida
Weber, of Dahswood. The deceased
was 41 years of age, His father,
Philip Beaver, one sister, Mrs, Wm,
Snell, of Dashwood, and four b'i+a-
thers, Frank, and John of Michi-
gan, and Charles and Ed. of Zur-
ich, survive.
Mr. Beaver had been on his fare
only, a short time and last summer
erected a new house. He was .pre-
paring to, erect a new barn.
The sympathy of all is extended
to the bereaved as the situation
must be exceedingly trying, shut off
from the visitations of their friends
and loved ones,'

Oh, Pll soon be free to wander
wheresoever I' may please,
And listen to the singing of the

There are days that I'll go fishing

Or play the idle rover in the way I
used to do.

The woods in all thelr splendor end

There are times I've been cliseour-

life's charm had lied,
There were even trines I've whis-
pered that I. might ae well

But the,ysun i?t getting higher, and
the buds break on the bough,
And with springtime getting ttin' g nearer ,
there's e lot to live for now.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
The reputation of Dr: C. A. Canip
bell of Kirkton and, his choir of thir-
ty-seven voices had evidently pre-
ceded their visit to Exeter on "Sun-
day evening last, for long before the
hour annouaeed for them to render
the sacred cantata "Easter Angels,"
in James Street Methodist Church,
music lovers were wending their
'way to this sacred edifice and at the
hour of opening the large auditori
um was filled.
The singers were made up from
members of the Kirkton and Wood-
ham Methodist choirs, assisted by
several others. °hey were".finder the
leadership of Dr, C. A, -Campbell,
and the manner in which the can-
tata was rendered heepeaks much
credit for, the leader and. the mem-
bers. The choruses were much en-
joyed while the solos, duetts, etc.,
were of a very high order. Mrs. Win.
Urquhart, soprano, who sang several
selections, -.possesses a very sweet
voice and delighted her hearers.
Mrs. Truman Tufts; contralto, was
heard to good effect. A trio by Mrs.
Urquhart, Mrs. Tufts and Miss Vera
Hazlewood was well rendered and
greatly appreciated. The solos by Al'.
fred Paul and Wan. ICelk were pleas-
ing numbers as was also the duett
by Mrs. Tufts and Charles Paul. The
pastor, Rev. M. 3. Wilson, read two
passages of scripture telling the
story of the Cross on which the
cantata was founded,Mr. Roy Gould-
ing presided at the organ. On the
whole the cantata was well rendered
and the large audience were well
pleased:
The preparation of a cantata of
this kind by a rural choir is a credit
to the leader and all •concerned,
One lady remarked in the presence
of the writer that she had heard a
cantata in one of the large city
churches but
she liked red the cantata
e the
in
Sunday evening better because
singing was more distinct.
