Mrs. Gidley First to buterred tu.
Exeter Cemetery
Oe of Exeter's grand old men
passed away suddenlyf'on Saturday
morning in his 90th, year never
having known a day's sickness in
his life, lliehard Gidley, for 'al-
most seventy-five years a resident,
of Exeter, arose as usnal and ate a
hearty breakfast and" before ten
o'clock he had passed away. He
died as he had wighee to die, often
having expressed the bope that he
would be taken withoizt sickness or
without being a care tO aayoue.
possessed all his faculties to the last
and could even. reakand write with-
out glasses. He was a frequent vis-
itor down town for the mail and
transacted his Dern business. He
was always bright,andcheerfui and
had the .happy faculty of looking on
the bright side. Besides enjoying
unusual good health Mr. Gidley has
travelled to the Pacific coast and
has been to California, and. other
parts and has never met with an ac-
cident. He was born in London,
Eng., on A.ugust 17th, 1836. In
May, 1884,, he came to Canada with
his parents on a sailing, vessel tak-
ing several weeks to cross the ocean.
For several years the family resided
in London when that: city was a
small village and vie helped to *gathe
er wood from the pine stumps that
adorned .Dundas street. In May
1852 the family moved to Exeter,
where the father, tb.e late Thomas
Gidley started a furniture factory
and the sons assisted him. They
also engaged in building until the
factory was sold to the Ross -Taylor
Co. In 1858 tine deceased was mar-
ried 'to Honor Bissett, who prede-
ceased him in 186,6. nother very
remarkable thing is that Mr. Gid-
ley's wife was the first to be
•••••••
interred, in the Exeter cemetery and
since that time the cemetery has
been twice enlarged. To this union
— four children': three sons and one
daughter were born, the three sons

musical ability. He was for years
trustee of the Main St. church and
was a regular attendant at the ser-
vices. He has been a reader onthe

HYDRO COMMISSION GETS,
REFUND 01 OVER sa,poo
r System to be Extended to Grand
Bend
Moin Street to be Rewired
The Public Utilities Commission
recently -received their thirteenth
power bill from the Hydro Power
Commission which was in the form
Of a credit note for $1,906.29. This
leaves a net surplus on the year'S
operatioa of $1,783.57. The thir-
teenth power bill is the difference
between what the local commission
have paid during the year for power
and the actual cost of the power.
At the same time the commission.
were agreeably surprised to receive
an• additional credit note of 91,367
covering the adjustments in the Cost
power in the years prior to 1925.
These amounts are placed, to the
credit of the municipality on the
books of the Hydro Power -Commis-
sion. • •
Last year three of the transform-
ers in &he local sub -station were re-
placed by larger transformers at
considerable cost to take care of the
increased consuniption of power
that passes through the station. At
the same thne several of the street
transformers that were being taxed
to capacity, were replaced- by larg-
er transformers. When, the town
was wired for hydro it was wired
printipally for lighting but with the
installation of a large number of
electric stoves and the increase in
appliances there has been • an in-
creased demand on the service. This
year the commission intend to re-
wire. the Main St. and some of the
principal streets, replacing the pre-
sent wire with a heavier wire. Sev-
eral new transformers will be add-
ed which will greatly 'improve the
service and permit of extensions.
Mr, H. W. Doerr, the stint., has
received word that the commission
intend to start shortly with the work
Of linking _Grand Bend up with the
hydro system. The government has
decided to pay fifty per cent. of the
primary and secondary costs and the
Commission will start work in
spring. An outside sub -station, will
be built somewhere -between Exeter
and Grand Bend and the system will
be linked up with Dashwood, Credi-
ton and Centralia and served from
Exeter. Grand Bend has already ,
an electric light system and most of

ized and the system extended

THE FOLLOWING LETTER UNSOLICITED AND WRITTEN
0 A PROMINENT TEACHER OP MUSIC.
It Was with pleasure that I heard the work of your rAtons a
the examinations in July last, their work was very good and quite
p to the standard at the better centres and better than we hear in
many centres.
I was also very much pleased with the McPhillips Pianos which
we used and played op at the time. Their tone is good, they seem
ed to be of excellent constraction, the action is good and I consider
that they compare very favorably, in every respect, with any of our
anadiali Pianos, 1 think the prices asked for them was very
reasonable and 1 am sure they will give satisfaction to anyone, with
reasonable care and attention.
t Wishing you every snecess in all YOWL' Work and that your bnsi-
Eiti will continue to grow, • , ,
