The method at once provides a means of diminishing the scourge and of securing to some ex- tent what is most desirable, the dis- infection of the slain. Local The local use spaper should be found in every home. No child will grow up ignorant w ho can be taught to ap- preciate the homy paper. It is the about any person, place, or thing which they ever saw or perbps ever heard of, and can you expect them to be interested! But let them have a good home paper like the TIMES and read of persons whom they meet, and places with which they are fami- liar, and soon an interest is awaken= ed which increases with every arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and those children will read the papers all their lives and become intelligent men and wo- men, a credit to their ancestors and strong in the knowledge of the world as it is to -day. Two t inks of Exeter bowlers went to ,Dashwood Monday and played a fele friendly games with the kitty touchers of that village. In the afternoon the games resulted in favor of Dashwood, but in the evening the visitors more than evened up the score, winning by a good margin on the day's playing. The local play- ers are high in their praises of the treatment accorded them by the Dashwood club. AFTERNOON Dashwood Exeter Wambold Spackman Siebert 1'. Acheson Tiernan Ilurdon Itartleib J.

Palmer, wife of the proprietor of the Commercial hotel, died rather unexpectedly Tuesday noon, the cause being loss of blood from an internal hemorrhage. Mrs. ":,.':ter lees apparently in good health, having on Sunday enjoyed an outing to the lake and the morning of her demise was making prepara- tions to do the day's washing, when the hemorrhage started. filer phy- sicians were immediately called and everything possible done to stop the (low, which was done with consider! able difficulty. llowever, elle was left in such a weakened condition that death resulted shortly after the noon hour. The deceased's maiden name was Helen Sanders, being the daughter of the late Ahsolom blind- ers, of Suterville, near Watford. Be- sides her husband and two children Leon and !feta, she leaves two sis- ters. in London, .and two brotehrs. to mourn their loss. She was 30 yrs., 6 mos and 26 days old. The re- mains were -taken to Suterville yes- terday for interment. Mr. Palmer has the sincere sympathy of his many friends in the loss of hie wife. She was of a cheerful dispc•ition and made many warm friends since sein- ing to Exeter last January. 'file funeral will take place to -day at Suterville tit one o'clock. !Icemen's rink in this event was a- head of Wyoming 15-14. The bowlers from Exeter are to be complimented on their playing in these matches for the good showing and if they fail to bring any of the trophies here, they made the other Slayers hustle to beat them. !BOWLER'S SONG The following is taken from the London Free Press of Monday -"Exe- ter bowlers have a battle song for the \►',stern Ontario Bowling tnur- narnent held here this week.
