Morgan who pass- ed away at the age of 58 years and 3 months. Mr. Morgan moved to town just two weeks ago and he was not long permitted to enjoy his new home. For several years the deceased has not enjoyed good health having suffered from a weak heart. For the first week aftei coming to town he was able to be around but was confined to his bed for about a week previous to his death. The. deceased was born ,his Lucan and at the age. of 13 moved to Exeter with his parents,' the late Thomas and Mary 11fbrgan. He; liv- ed in Exeter several years and at the age of twenty went west where he spent five years, and then return- ed, taking up farming in Usborne. Tp. About 32 years- ago he was united in marriage with Rachael Bishop, , who with one son Archie, and one daughter (Myra) Mr§. J. A. Stewart, both of Usborne, mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father. Several years ago Mr. Morgan retired and came to -Exeter where he liVed for three years and again returned to the farm. The deceased was a man of the highest integrity and unim- peachable character. To know him was to love him. For many years he was an elcier„of the Thames Road Presbyterian church 'and a teacher of the young men's class in the Sun- day school. For -several terms he served the Township of Usborne as councillor and was also a school trustee.

They have put in excellent stocks anticipating a good Christmas trade. Many of the lines have been ordered months in advance. We were in a store the other day and a merchant was pick- ing out straw hats for next season. The thing seemed funny to us. But so it is, Stock is ordered a long time in advance and is -not always procurable at the last minute. That is why the early shopper gets the best choice. Those who leave their shopping until late do not have the same opportunity to choose. Shop- ping early prolongs the Christmas spirit for there is a certain satisfac- tion in doing something that will come as an agreeable surprise later on. Do not delay. Shop early. AUTO ACCIDENT On Thursday of last week while Mr, and Mrs. Victor Snell and Mia.. Maxwell were returning 'from. Lon- don they met with an auto accident. at Denfield about six o'clock in the evening. The were run into by a truck loaded with potatoes on its way to Stratford, It was just at dusk and a drizzling rain was fall- ing. The trunk had no lights and was crossing the road in front of the Snell ear, striking the front end damaging the fender, wheel, axle And radiator besides some of the igiass in the sedan, Mrs. Maxwell received a slight cut on one of her ears. The truck took to the ditch. Supreme Bread Goodness. A loaf of good Bread contains all the elements emn t a s thatars gu ntoe health, vigor and a satisfied appetite.
