themselves hi a very " praisworthy
manner. The addresses •on the var-
ious subjects wereinteresting and

110 JACKS BAGGED IN BIGGEST
DRIVE OF THE SEASON
The final and biggest drive of the
season for jack rabbits was held on
We aesday of last week by the Ex-
eter sports supplemented' by several
from Hensall and Crediton, number-
ing altogether 45.. The men took
the train to Lucan Crossing. F. J.
Delbridge and Wm. Rivers had map-
ped out the ground to becovered
and according to a well developed
plan started the advance on the cun-
ning jacks. The men lined up at the
station and captains were appobited,"
Wrn. Snell and H. Bierling on the
wings with W. Rivers and ,F. J. Del -
bridge in the centre. The men
spread 'across the block and the
wing men :advanced along. the con-
cessions in a TY shape forming; a
ing three blocks and then going
south they returned through the ad-
joining blocks. When the game
was tallied at night it was found
that 110 jacks had "bit the dust."
It was a jolly bunch that started off
with their war paint on and their
war feathers flying, but some of
them were mighty glad when they
came in sight of the station after
having traversed from ten to fifteen
miles carrying or dragging from two
to six jacks averaging ten pounds
apiece. Some of the sports claim
the easiest way to handle the rabbits
is to attach a rope around the body
and tie the rabbits on behind and
drag them across the snow. The
smallest rabbit secured was one
about nine days old weighing 4 oz.
It as on exhibition in Rivers' Meat
Market. Only those who have seen
the jacks run can appreciate the
speed of these . tong -legged, fleet -
footed travellers and only those who
have been on a drive know some-
thing of the excitement that prevails
at times. A rabbit often charges
the lines and escapes through an op-
ening after having passed through.
a barage of shell fire. Big Jim had
the laugh on several on Wednesday.
After a rabbit had broken through
the lines after eight shots had been
fired :at it, Jim yelled for the Wren
to lie down and with his first shell
bunny turned up his heels. Sonne. �
one measured the distance at' 92
Paces. One man figured that it, took
on the average, five shots to bring •
down a jack` and that during the
day over five hundred rounds of
ammunition were fired. One shooter
took down fifty shells, returned with'
five and never turned a "hare."1
The, majority of rabbits were secur-
ed in two spots, one a small bush of
poplars and there a battle royal
raged forsome time. One of the
recruits lost his first chance by car-
rying his gun .with the safety lock
closed and he couldn't figure out
what was the matter with it. He
made- up for it the rest of the day.
Mr. S. J. Hogarth drove down to
pick up the game and relieve the
men of their logd, but after he pick-
ed up a few, the horse turned the
cutter over and ran away, running.
about three miles before being
caught.
A bunch from Elimville were two
blcarts east of the Exeter group and.
they secured 78 rabbits. Some idea
of the menace these jacks are likely
to become is gathered frons the fact
that from the stretch of territory
between Centralia and St, Marys
and as far south as Ilderton over
1200 aabbits have been secured.
During the early part of the season
none ever dreamed there were as
many rabbits in the cotninunity. The
men at first started out in' small
parties and secured a fest+, but later
they •found out the outy way to get
then. was to organize in large
groups. There are few rabbits that
have conte tip into the middle of US -
borne Tp. or Stephen Tp. The most

ed have been shot in Bddtilph. Im

The retrains of the late Mrs. S.
W. Rowe, who died at her home in
Galt, on Saturclay were brought to
Exeter and the funeral Tuesday af-
ternoon was held from the home of
Mr. Thos, Harvey. The cle�eased
had been a great sufferer for about f
a year. Her maiden name•was Lot-
tie Perkins, She was 'born in the
Township of Usborne and was in her
55th year. Thirty-three years ago
she was married to her bereaved
husband, who with two daughters,
Viola and Florence,,, survive. For
many years the family resided at
Exeter, later moving to Ingersoll and
about seven years ago they moved to
Galt. The deceased was beloved by
a wide circle of friends. Five sis-
ters also survive. Mrs. (trey.) Burh-
au9in, of Tagaske, Sask.; Mrs. John
