Although the rig did not pass over hien nor were any bones broken, he was severe- ly bruised, and has since suffered con- siderable from the effects. It is for- tuate the accident was not more ser- ious. Miss Oodwia's Eatertainsacut The entertainment given in the Opera House on Friday evening last by Miss Mildred Godwin and her pupils in Elocution was well attended and gave excellent satisfaction in every particular to those present. Besides Miss Godwin and her pupils in town, others from out of town took part, among whom were, Miss Madge of Thames )toad, Miss Miller of Elim - vine, Miss Hook of Eden, and Miss McDonald of Kippen. The Exeter young ladies who assisted in the pro- gram were : Misses Anna Martin, Mary Murray, Hazel Browning, Beat- rice Howey, kathleen Stewart, Katie Collins, Gladys Bissett, Pearl Godwin, Labelle Handford, Stella Southcott, and Ruth Hooper. The program con - sided ofElocution aryselections, Poses, Monologues, etc. The Monologue. "From Childhood to Old Age," was particularly worthy. and those who took part together with their teacher deserve much credit. The pantomine by the little ladies was also excellently performed.

Messrs. Damien k McDonell have disposed of another of their fine Shire Stallions, "King Charming," No.15871, the purchasers being Messrs. Geiger & Hodgson, of Hensall. "King Charm- ing" is a beautiful bay, white stripe on face, three white stockings and stands on a set of limbs that is hard to equal in this or any other country; he weighs 2100 pounds, is finely proportioned and is considered by competent horsemen to benne of the hest shire stallions ever imported from Scotland. For three years in succession he never left his stable and proved himself it sure breed- er. Messrs. Geiger and Hodgson are to be congratulated on having one of the best shire horses in Western On- tario, and the farmers of the vicinity of Hensel) have every reason to feel proud of having such a horse within their reach to breed from. We understand that Mr. C. B. Snell has made a definite offer to sell the Electric Light Plant and building to the Town for $10.000, the plant alone for $9,500; or if given a 15 year fran- chise he will install a new plant -one that would give satisfaction. As the outfit now stands it is not giving sat- isfaction either to the town or to the proprietor and it is certainly time that something was done as the present franchise expires within a year. The general nnderstanding seems to be that Mr. Snell is willing to purchase a new outfit if the Town Council will first renew his franchise. On the other hand the Council desires th'at the owner of the plant shall first put the works in a satisfactory condition then the hoard will consider the re- newing of the franchise. If this be a correct statement of the position, and we think it is, it looks as if each die - trusts the other, and if that be correct there is not much hope of it settlement on that ),dais. Then the town would be wise to consider the advisability of piirrhasing the plant and going in- to Public Ownership business. WELL.
