Saturday night was Hallowe'en.
That the young people of Exeter are
civilized and law-abiding was very
evident, as we believe, not a single
misdemeanor of any kind can be re-
corded against them. A few of the
boys and girls marched about town
singing popular airs and playing a few
pranks that even the most staid citi-
zen could have no objection to. This
is as it should be and the young folk
deserve credit for their quiet observ-
ance of the evening that was at one
time made the excuse for all kinds of
brainless doings.
The home of Mr.and Mrs. Milton M.
Russell, Lot 1, Con. 1, [lay Township,

days. The little fellow had been in
the best of health until Wednesday
night when he Lias taken ill with con-
vulsions, and, although resting easily
afterwards, it was apparent that the
hand of death was laid on the little
one, and the end came as above stated.
The parents have the sympathy of the
entire community. The funeral took
place to the Exeter cemetery Sunday
afternoon. Rev. D. Walter Collins
officiating.
The following from the Mail and
Empire is an account of the marriage
of a former Exeter lady, the event tak-
ing place in Toronto on Nov. 27th:—
At half -past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon, in the St. Paul's Methodist
church, the marriage was solemnized
of Miss stella Kathleen Spackman,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward
J. Spackman. to Mr. Elgin Graham
Johnston. The ceremony was per.
formed by the pastor, the Rev. W. L.
Armstrong, and during the signing of
the register Miss F. MacKay sang "0
Perfect Love." The bride, who was
given away by her Gather, was attired
in create embroidered chiffon over
taffeta and tulle veil and orange blos-
801118. She carried a bouquet of roses,
and wore the bridegt00111'8 gift, a
pearl and amethyst necklace. Miss
Cora Fowell of Exeter, and Miss Fran-
ces \[organ of Mat khaun, attended as
bridesmaids, the former wearing pale
pink, with pietnre bat, and the latter
in pale blue. with blue hat. Both car-
ried pink and white chrysanthemums,
and wore the bridegroom's gifts. pearl
brooches. Mr. W. W. Gibson of
Kingston %vas best man, and the ush-
ers were Mr. J. Dixon Spackman, the
bride's brother, and Mr. Ewart J. Law-
rence. A reception was afterwards
held at the home of the bride in Dela-
ware Avenue, when Mrs. Spackman
was wearing black embroidered net
over taffeta and black velvet hat, with
plumes. Later in the afternoon Mr.
and Mrs. Johnston left to spend their
honeymoon in Buffalo and New York,
the bride travelling in navy blue Dir-
ectoire snit and navy blue hat, with
gold hand and wings.

This is not a f:eh story but a chick-
en story that tomes all the way from
Colorado. A chicken fawner was trou-
bled exceedingly by the propensity of
his brood to scratch up his garden, so
he set to work to solve tine problem of
preten1ion. After elaborate expert -meats
he succeeded in crossing a breed of his
long legged brahtnas with short legged
bantams in such a way that the chick -
ears had 000 10ng'tg and one short one.
When they attempted to scratch they
lost their balance and full over, which,
after a few trials was sufficient to
show that ecratihin„ was impossible,
and they gave It up.
