Blake they came up to a buggy and when in the act of turning out to pass the auto took to the ditch. The body of the car was completely wrecked, being nothing but a heap of scrap.

TO APPEAR IN COURT. A number of young men will ap- pear in the police court in the not distant future to answer to the charge of rowdyism. Late on Sat- urday evening on in the early hours of Sunday morning Chief Bissett crawled out of bed to answer to a telephone call. He was summoned up town to put a stop to the noise a number of young men Vere making on the main street. When he amy- 1 ed on the scene a horse was being auctioned off amid quite an uproar. The boys soon dispersed after the Chief arrived. There has been com- ,plaint of the rowdyism made by a number of the men on Saturday and Sunday evenings. Chief Bissett states he has repeatedly warned the boys that trouble was brewing unless a stop was put to the disturbance. Summonses have been made out and on those whose wilt be served os names have been secured. We understand t1 nod twenty five fere are arou - , THE LATE MRS. HARRISON i On Saturday last Exeter lost one of its oldest and most respected cit- izens in the person of Mrs. Chas. Harrison in her 87th. year. She was born near Holsworthy, Devon, England. When she was nine years of age she with lbw parents (Mr. & Mrs. Jno. Jones) sailed, for Tipper Canada. After landing at Montreal they made their way to Beverly Tp. near Hamilton. While there she grew to womanhood facing bravely all the hardships of pioneer Iife. Shortly after her marriage she with her husband moved. to Derby Tp, near Owen Sound. Again pioneer life more real than ever was her fate. She bravely faced her trials common to all in that new settlement, for twenty Years, when the family moped to this vicinity. She was well known at Rogerville where they ear - 1 teed on fruit farming. Prom Roger- ville she moved to Exeter where she spent her remaining days. One son and five daughters survivie to mourn her loss. Dr. J. W. Har- rison Of Detroit, Mrs. Saan'l Hollnata, of Crystal 'City; Mrs. Richard Tapp. i Virden, Mrs. Geo.

GOOD WHEAT FIELD The farmers in this section are making good progress with the har- vest. Fall wheat was possibly the heavest crop to be taken off, the oats and barley being light. The straw of the later two is short but the crop is threshing fairly well. Mr. Cephas Pyran had an exceptionally fine piece of wheat for this season. He had. 15 ` acres sown. to fall wheat. The wheat was stook threshed and turned out about 550 bushels or averaged about 37 bushels to the acre which. is good for this year. There were about l"ifty loads of grain. EXETER 014) BOY OCCUPIES ,PULPIT, Uuion services were held by Caven Presbyterian and Main Street Meth. congregations last Sabbath. In the morning Rev.

Brown also told stories, and Mrs, Ilaviland kept the children well entertained.After the roast, songs were sung by the children, and Dr. Medd, gave fare- well words of appreciation to Mrs. Hayiland on behalf of the children who are sorry to lose her from our midst, ne she has made warm friends with all the children, and has taken such an interest in the L.T.L.Three cheers were also given Mrs. Beavers Supt. of the L. T. L. also Dr. Medd for his `splendid help in making the picnic such :a success After singing the Maple Leaf and God Save the King, the children wended their way homeward, but not before ex- pressing their wish for another pic- nic in the near future, which we will probably have before long. Rev. M. J. and Mrs. Wilson spent Sunday last at Chesley visiting Mrs. Wilson's .rather. In the even- ing ..they attended church at Walker - ion, eaformer cheep ,gc ;'f :Me,,. IP door' A. good game of ball was played on the Centralia diamond on Monday night when Ailsia Craig beat .Central- ia by a score of 10 to 6. The large score does not show the game up. It was by far the *Nest game of the season and thescore should net have been so large. It was a pitcher's battle from start to finish with Alex- ander, of Craig, the winner., pitched a great game. He was air tight with men on bases and his team backed him up well. Craig had some heavy batters and they seemed to hit when a hit meant a run and some loose fielding on Centralia's part. The diamond was in poor con- dition which caused the infield to make some costly errors on both sides and which goes very hard on a, pitcher. Hanlon who was pitching for Centralia pitched winning ball. He only allowed 5 hits and struck out ten men which goes to show he was pitching some game and de- served to win. Abbott's fielding was the feature of the game he accepted every chance without a slip. Jack Dempsey hit, what he thought was a home run but on going from third home Jack found be was not shod for fast going and was touched out. It was hard luck for Jack but we hope when he is worked out a little more he will be able to make Ty Cobb look sick on that home run stuff. Hodgins in right field is a good man Wes. does not want to play hog and take all the flies. He wants to see some of the other fellows share to the honor, hut Wes. covers a lot of ground and runs the bases well. He is only a youngster at the game and will make good with work. Fahner was a Iittle off color. It was a big change for him as he always plays good ball. Anderson on. first plays a hard game but had hard luck. He was called upon to tate some bad throws but got along pretty lucky. He was a little weak in caoching which was something new for him. Bruce on second will soon have to re= tire The Craig boye seem to think he was a, little old for their class but at that Bruce is a mighty good man around second, He. may have his night off but he has a good many on. Motz played a good game but we missed his long hits. The pitch- er seemed to have too much on the ball for Bill. Anderson on third is the funny man. If some big leaguer could see Tripper on the coachers line with the line he has we beelieye be would make good. Tupper knows the game and how it sheeeh be play - 6d. It was a well played game every one 8ebining to enjoy it. There was only a fair crowd out. The ladies were on the job with the ice cream cones and they were well filled and well served. Centralia people al- ways like to give the people their money's worth. Keep up the good work. Following is the line up, - Centralia. It H B L. Abbott 1 1 0 J. Denney 0 2 1 T. Anderson 1 2 1 B.

One day by artful ways and cute He sold a working man a suit The garment bad been poorly made, He knew the dye in it would fade, He knew the coat would lose it's shape 44 And hang just like a woman's cape. ; Yet when the man went on his way He though he'd spent a clever day, ! Let us now follow while we can The victim of the clever man, His wife beholds him and she cries "That suit not At for mortal eyes!" Who sold you such a thing as that? And low he mutters "Doodlebat." "What, Doodlebat?"then answers she "He'll get no more good coin from 1 me." Now conies a neighbor and he sees Those trousers bagging at thi' knees. And stra,ightwa.y Ise must be told Where such a fearful thing was sold "I need a suit.•" said he, "but oh" To Doodlebat I'll never go." 'The gentle parson of his flock Beheld the garment. with a shock And shook his head when he was told 'Twas one that Doodlebat had sold The women when they stopped to chat, Discussed that suit from Doodlebat Whene'er that shabby suit of blue In street or huil came into view It cast old Doodlehat a lot Of business that Ise might have got, It advertised him far and near As one that honest folks should fear, And Doodlebat so sharp and slick Believed dte'cll turned a clever trick! tart.
