PAUL de 1VIARIt.Y DELIGHTS
'EXETER AND . COMMUNITY
•� LOVERS OF MUSIC
Mammy An enjoyable functr:on was held on
Wednesday evening when Mrs. Har-
rison Gambrill was enabled to treat
her music loving pupils, their par-
-lents and guests to a splendid music-
I ale. Mr. Whitehouse, who plays the
= lviolin delightfully, brought with him
Mr. Stein as accompanist, Mr. Maple -
tuft, tenor soloist, ; of • Askin St.
church and the artist supreme of the
C evening, Paul de Markey, piano.
'DJ1Ulb �. f 1Ti �,-•r:.7h;it, home'• 11-z...
solos were fine, specially the ar-
rangement of the Austrian Hymn and
the Caliph of Bagdad (by resuest.)
Mr. Mapletuft in splendid voice was
heard to' perfection in several
beautiful songs including' When
Shadows Fall' and,z'' erry Down i
Derry" and received hearty, encores.
= It would be hopeles:e for anyone not
an accomplished musician to attempt
to describe the playing of Paul de
Markey. Never before, and per-
haps never again, will a home in
this vicinity have the honor of be-
ing host to so fiinished an artist.
His first selection took the guests
by storm. He gave as an encore a
Chopin Etude, which was equally
beautiful. Mr. de Markey is a pupil
of the last remaining pupil of 'Franz
Liszt and doubtless this may-
tie
count for his evident love and pro-
ficiency in the music of Chopin. He
gave several other numbers from -
this great master. Mr. de Markey's
modest planner, his delightful accent t
and boyish appearance and his grac- f
iousness ;in responding, to the en- b
cores doubled the regard which his
extraordinary, talent had already
won from his hearers. At the close
of the program, Mr. W. D. Sanders,
(Reeve),extended a
d cordial vote of
thanks. Mr B. W. F. Beavers on be-
half of the guests expressed his.
pleasure at being present at so dis-
tinguished an occasion and thanked
Mrs. Gambrill for her kindness in
arranging the musicale to make such.
an event possible. He was ably sec-
onded by Mr. W. H. Johnston. Fol-
lowing a reception of the .pupils to
whom 'refreshments were served the
artists motored to the home of the.
hostess and partook of a.. dainty
lunch. Covers were laid for ten.
The piano, a lovely toned instru-
ment, was kindley lent by the Mc-
Phillips Piano Co. of London, of
which Mr.. Whitehouse is the piaifo
sales manager. Mr. Stein, (organ-
ist off Hamilton Rd. Presbyterian
church) is also on the staff of Me -
Phillip's Piano tuners.

Word d ha
s been received here of
the death in Los Angeles, California,
of Mrs. Wm. Drew; who died in that
city on Monday the 23rd. inst. Ap-
parently there was no previous ill-
ness but death came suddenly, a
very fitting passing of one of such
a peaceful character ;and. loveable
disposition as Mrs.' Drew always ex-
hibited. The deceased, whose maid-
en name was Mary Holman; was the.
eldest daughter and second child of
the late Lewis Holman', and Mrs,. Hol-
man, whose maiden' h'am.e was Jane
Bailey. Abouty fifty years ago she
became the second wife of the late
William Drew, who 'predeceased her
some eleven years. The only ,child
by this marriage was their daughter
Carrie, Mrs. Bert. Knight, who mov-
ed with her mother} r*to Los. Angeles
about three years ago where they

troubled with rheumatism Mrs.
Drew found the .climate there a
great improvement on _the rigorous
winter climate • of Ontario. She en-
joyed the change "very ,much' and
though: advanced ` in years, having
reached the old age of 85 years,
seemed to have enjoyed almost a re-
newal of her youth.. The deceased
was one of"a large family of twelve
children, all born on' the old farm
homestead at bevon, lot 10, con. 1,

BURG, PASTOR RESIGNS
At the regular meeting of the of-
ficial board of Wesley church , the
pastor;,• Rev. M. J. Wilson on ac-
count of i11 health tendered his re-
signation and the board after ex-
pressing their deep-felt regret for
this necessary step, passed the fol-
lowing vote of appreciation::
Dear Pastor;
Wethe members of the Quarterly
Board of Wesley church have heard
with deep regret,. that, on 'account
of ill -health and danger of nervous
collapse, our beloved pastor, Rev.
M. J. Wilson, by the advice of his
physician is compelled to resign and
take at least one year for rest and
recuperation. We wish to express
to you and to put on record the fact
that during these two years among
us, you have won the love and es-
teem not only of this board and con-
gregation
on-
•re a i'
ton but." de-
nominations
also of the other de
nominations and of the citizens of
Amherstburg. On all great moral
questions of evil and outstanding.
sin and on all glaring immoralities
Mr. Wilson . has stood four square
opposed, but has won for. himself
the deep respect even of those op-
posing his convictions and 'the high
regard of all lovers of the best
citizenship.
As a pastor the homes of his
people especially those of the sick,
aged and shut in regard him as a
very dear friend and counsellor.
Mr. Wilson makes no favorites .and
is loved by all alike.
As a preacher he has an original-
ity of method; of presentation, of
truth, peculiarly his own that sel-
dom fails to compel the hearer to
meditate after returning to his
home.
During his term here the atter-
danoe has been sustained ' and in-
creased. • The various financial in-
terests of the church s s zu ch maintainod•.
Mr. Wilson in June will leave the
church in a progressive condition.
and "will • bear with him the heart-
felt respect ' and loving 'regard of
the congregation he has so splen-
didly served and also of the toWn
at large,.
