Civic holiday, June 20th, was a very
quiet day in town. Quite a large num-

worked in the garden.

narrow escape. Over a dozen heavy
binder tables were standing together',
and the moving of other machinery
caused them to fall over. In falling

in the breast and caused a nasty cut.
Had he been a few inches closer noth-
ing could have saved his breast bone
from being broken, and probably other
injuries.

is no stranger to an Exeter audience,
brought forth loud applause in her
Highland dances and was obliged to
respond to repeated encores. The

interesting feature and various vocal
and other selections were gond. The

The annual People's picnic was held
in 1Vnr. Kernick's grove on Thursday,
June 20. in the afternoon. The day
was everything that mold be desired
and shortly after 1 o'clock a large
crowd began to gather to enjoy the
•ports which consisted of races, foot-
ball. etc. The children's races which
were very numerous were under the
control of Mise Horton, teacher in S.S.
No. 5, to whom much credit is due for
the wav in which they were carried
out. The larger races were contested
very keenly by the older people and
brought forth much laughter. The
races over all repaired to the tables
where an abundance of pi ovisions were
prepared and satisfied the inner man.

The farmers who two weeks ago
wore long faces and told tales of poor
crop prospects, etc., are to -day wear-

that they registered their kicks a little
too soon. The recent rains and the
warm weather have made things look

are looking fine.
The house of refuge committee met

and Mrs. Mulch. Mr. M. Y. McLean,
chairman, formally introduced theta
as Keeper and Matron, and Mrs. Simp-
son as Assistant Matron. On account
of lack of steady wind the water sup-
ply is often short, The chairman, In-
spector and Keeper are appointed a

Mrs. Richard Davis celebrated her
81st birthday on Monday, June 24th,
by giving a pleasant party to her
children and grandchildren at her
home, John st. She was born in Exe-
ter, Devonshire, England, in 1820,
baptised and confirmed in St. Thomas
Cathedral, which is shown in one of
the pictures presented to the Exeter
school, and she came to Canada in
1838. Mrs. Davis still retains an old
bible presented to her by her Sunday
School teacher on her leaving for this
country. She is probably the only
person in town who can claim the dis-
tinction of being baptised in this old
church. Airs. Davis is still in good
health and we trust may be spared to
celebrate many more birthdays.
The Vancouver World time refers
to a former well-known resident of
Exeter: -After fifteen years of loving
service as a matron of the Alexandra
Orphanage. Miss Penhale has tender-
ed her resignation on account of ill
health. The formal letter was read at
the usual monthly meeting on Thurs-
day afternoon and accepted with
many expressions of regret. Mrs.
Pelkie, the secretary of the board of
directors, was requested to write to
Miss Penhale expressing the regret of
the board at her departure and their
appreciation of her work in the past.
Miss Penhale is a native of Exeter,
Ont., and before coming to this city
spent about three months in Winni-
peg. She will probably leave the city
on a holiday trip in September when
her successor will be appointed. The
new matron of the orphanage has yet
to be discovered, but it is felt that it
will be hard to secure the services of
such another as Miss Penhale. There
are now nearly 50 little ones in the
orphanage. It was proposed and un-
animously decided to tuake Miss Pen -
hale a life member of the hoard in re-
cognition of her splendid services.
For Adoption
The Children's Aid Society have a
number of children for whom they
would like to find good homes. Any-
one desirous of adopting a child is re-

Masoas at Church.
The oppressively hot afternoon Sun-
day cau.etl a 511)1111 attendance of the
members of Lebanon Forest Lodge at
the Main street church to hear a ser-
mon delivered by Rev. E. A. F'ear. pas-
tor of the church and chaplain of the
lodge. The brethren with Ur. Sweet
as director of ceremonies marched to
the church from the hall at 2:15. The
speaker chose a passage from Nehemi-
ah 4:0, "So build we the wall" as his
text. He pictured the time and place,
Jerusalem after the temple had been
destroyed and the wall demolished,
with the people dejected and discour-
aged, and their enemies triumphant.
The news was carried to Jeremiah et
Itahylon. He came up to Jerusalem
and with the people rebuilt the walls.
We are building for eternity. What
ars the elements of success? Mr. Fear
thought there were five elemetris nec-
estuury to succetsfnl building -prayer,
confession of sin. watchfulness, en•
thlisiasm and co-operation. Upon
each element he +poke at some length
and showed why these points were
necessary to mankind in ')adding for
eternity. AS they were neressary to
Jeremiah and the people of Jerusalem.
After returning to the Lodge room it
vote of thanks wa, tendered Mr. Fear
for the able discourse.
