Pleasantly Surprised.
The members of the Exeter Band
met in their room on Thursday even-
ing last for the purpose of doing honor
to one of their number, Mr. Geo. Eac-
rett, prior to his moving to the North-
west. Mr. Joe. Senior, the President,
made a neat address in which he re-
ferred to the many excellent qualities
of Mr. Eacrett and stated that the
Band regretted exceedingly his depar-
ture from bis native town in which he
had always been a most estimable citi-
zen. The speaker personally and on
behalf of the baud hoped that in the
far Western provinces or where'er his
lot might be cast that he would receive
the full share of the good things of this
life and that he would always retain a
warm spot in his heart for the home
town. George was presented with a
beautiful leather companion case, in-
cluding an ebony framed brush, comb
and mirror, as a token of the esteem
in which he is held by his fellow hands -
men. Mr. Eacrett made a suitable and
feeling reply. -Not only will George
be missed iu the musical circles but in
many other ways. Seldom is a young
inan so universally respected by all
whom he may meet ina businessors(r
cial way,aa he is, and all his old friends
will wish him success in the Great
West. George left Saturday evening
for Winnipeg where he will make his
home for a trove at least. Good for-
tune, old boy!
Sanders -Coward.
A very quiet but pretty wedding
was celebrated at the Elitnville parson-
age on Wednesday last, the contract-
ing parties being Mr. Arthur Sanders,
third son of the late James Sanders,
3rd con..Stephen, and Miss Mary Eliz-
abeth Coward, daughter of Mr. Thos.
Coward, of the Rth con., Cationic. The
interesting ceretnony,which took place
at 2:30 o'clock, was performed by the
ltev. Mr. Fair. The bride, who was
attired in a beautiful costume of creatn
eolienne, was assisted by Mies Jennie
Sanders, sister of the groom, who was
becomingly attired in blue lustre. The
groom was ably supported by Frank
Coward, brother of the bride. At the
conclusion of the ceremony the hri(htl
party drove to the residence of the
gr.om's mother, Mrs. John Cookson,
where a reception was tendered the
bride and groom. About fifty guests
were present and the evening pleas-
antly spent in dancing and social in-
tercourse. The wedding presents were
numerous and costly, an evidence of
thehighesteeni entertained toward the
young people,coupled with the donors'
earnest wish that the loving pair may
long enjoy to the full life's inestimable
blessings --health, wealth and prosper
ity. Mr. and Mrs. Sanders have taken
lip their i,'sidencenn the 4)1(1 homestead,
on the 3rd concession of Stephen,
Mr. and Mrs. John Cookson and fam-
ily having moved to the home they
recently purchased in Exeter North.
Mr. Dawes Harvey Retires.
Thirty four years as an hostler is a
record that is probably unequalled ill
Canada, yet such is the time served in
that capau•ity by Mr. James Harvey,
who on Monday of this week leaves
his work and retires to his tarot
in Stephen Township for the balance
of his term of life. For nearly thirty
vears he was to be found day or night
in attendance upon the travelling pub-
lic et the ('omnteicial House stables,
when an linfortmettc accident, by
which he came near losing his life,
compelled hitt) to quit work for a time,
but soon he was hack in harness at the
Mansion House where he remained for
over four years. That the people whose
horses he cared for recognized the val-
ue of his services will be seen when it
is known that with his earnings dur-
ing those years he purchased a fine
iia) -acre farm in Stephen and carries
a hank book as well, besides raising s
family of five children, who are now
grown up. People could always de-
pend upon their animals tering well
groomed and fed. and to the man who
deems his horse as good as himself
this is no light t'otisideration. Few of

The Child's Footwear.
Writing of "The Child's Dress" in
the November Delineator, Dr. Grace
Peckham Murray has a word of advice
in regard to shoes. She says: As soon
as the skirts are sbortened,children ar-
r•iveat the dignity of wearing shoes.
The first ones should be very soft and
loose. They are to be had as mocca-
sins and ankle ties, as well as in the
shape of diminutive shoes with very
soft soles, The latter should be thick-
er when the time comes for the child
to walk. Children's shoes should have
broad soles and should be formed very
carefully so ars not to deform the feet.
They are made without heels, for
childien do not wear heels until they
are nine or ten years ()II, and then ex-
tremely low. Children often suffer
from weak ankles. If such he the case
their feet should be bathed and rubbed
with salt water every day. They will
be helped by the wearing of shoes the
ankles of which have been made stiff
by pieces of steed which are held in
place by means of little pockets made
for the purpose in the lining of the
shoe. Shoes are made especially for
children who toe in, or for those who
are bow-legged, and for children who
have flat fret. The necessary thicken-
ing of the het tont Of the shoe, which

stockings to see that they etre not too

and deform the foot. Children are us-

do not have time to matgt•nw them,

are excellent to prevent rapid wearing
