employes waited on filen ;Saturday,
evening at his office and presented
him vita a gold headed cane` as a
token of friendship on his withdrawal
from; business on March. 1st. ; ;1vLr.
Levett is one of the o'id established
business men of Exeter having been
in business here for over twenty years
and during that time notes many
changes. He has ,carried on a whole-
sale produce business also dealing in
coal and ,has been a most suecessful
business man. Some of lis employs
have been engaged with "ilio far fif-
teen ,Sears and they showed tb,ei1 ap-
preciation on Saturday by making the.
presentation above referred to. In
munic:pal matters Mr. Levett eas
taken an active interest and Mee f,11
cd the position both as reeve and
councillor. We do not know whether
Mr. Levett intends leaving town, or
not but ;his teeny friends will be
pleased 'to :see „himremain a citizen
of Exeter.
The First :Robin—The first robin to

Monday on Downie's hill near the

'there. Probably these little' messen-
gers. of spring have been like some
of the rest of tis, mistakink. the very
spring-like weather of the pout week

rivers and creeks are swoollen and
many fields floaded. with water. Tne
cement sidewalks of town have practi-
cally
ractiearly all been . cleared. The majority
of us wouiht like to think of spring,
but. someone ,says we gill pay up for
it yet. As the little Dueb,man says
"O h, 'the troubles 7 aint had already
ref". One suggestion we might make
is .'hat as winter cannot last a great"
while longer the citiietts keep their
cement sidewalks free from snow.
