It was good news to every lower of music when the announcement went forth that Marie Morrisey would appear next Monday evening at the Opera House. Marie Morrisey has been devoting herself almost exclus- ively to opera this year. She is break- ing a very heavy schedule to come to Exeter. This will be one of a very few concert engagements which the oelbrated prima donna will fill this year. It is a regretable fact that Marie Merrisey, is gradually elimin- ating all concert work. Her voice has been called one of the most beauti- ful on the stage. She combines it with charming personality and a sin- cere winning manner. Vast audiences gather to hear her continually.

Mr. Davidson was secretary of the public sckool board from 1881 and only re- signed this year. He has been for 60 years in Municipal affairs of the country. Mrs. W. S. Howey of town, is a grandaughter of Mr. Davidson. MOVIE MAN GETS PICTURES OF CORN CANNING. The process ..of canning corn was filmed by the Ford moving picture man at the Exeter Canning Factory on Thursday last. Pictures of the different proceses were taken by the. movie man. Four 20(10 watt nitrogen lamps with reflectors were used to illuminate the different machinery in order to photograph it. These will no doubt appear as one of the Ford educational films. AUTO AND DRIVE SHED DESTROYED 13Y FIRE On Wednesday of last week the building used as a garage, together with a Briscoe car, buggy, cutter, cart and cultivator were destroyed by fire on the farm of Mr. Rd. Hicks of the lid coneel cion of -Osborne. Late in the evening Mr. Hicks was aroused by the noise in the yard and on investigating he found the building to be in flames. Nothing could be done to save the contents. The loss is partly covered by insur- ance. THIEVES BREAK INTO FREIGHT SHEDS. The freight sheds of the Exeter depot were broken into on Friday night last and thieves were success- ful in removing several cases of use- ful articles. .Among the articles stol- en were a case of shoes some cloth- ing, sugar, candy, pork and beans and tobacco. Several boxes contain- ing repairs or articles that could be made little use of were opened and abandoned. The amount removed would weigh in the neighborhood of six hundred pounds and would make a fair sized load for the back of an auto. There is little or no clue as to who the robbers are. PROUTY-GREEN. The Marriage took place at the parsonage, Bayfield, at half past three on Wednesday, September the 3rd, of Miss Janet E. Green to Mr. T. Clayton Prouty of Exeter. The young couple were unattended and the ceremony we performed by the Rev. E. L. Anderson, pastor of the Methodist church. The bride looked very pretty in her wedding gown of white silk with tatted lace trim- ming and wearing the groom's gift a gold wishbone broach set with. pearls. After the ceremony the bridal party motored to the borne of the bride's sister, that of Mr. and Mrs. WINS THREE TROPHIES. fingers of his ri, ht hand taken off last Thursday while leading a horse 1 One of th.e Largest crowds to 'vis - He was driving in a rig leading a it Exeter on Fair Day in many years horse when the horse jerked and the was in town on Tuesday when an rope he was holding tightened a- excellent show was held on the Ag- round the finger with the above re- ricultural grounds. The weather ratan salt. favored the Society with. the best of weather the directors were hoping i'or. Early in the afternoon the peo- ple began to come in from all direc- tions and headed by the Exeter band they found their way to the show grounds. When the last shekels had been gathered in by the ticket sel- lers it was found the receipts had exceeded $700. On Monday the weather threaten- ed to spoil things somewhat. Inter- mittent showers fell during the day. It was thought the track would be too soft for racing but Tuesday the track was in good condition. There was an excellent showing of live stock. Some splendid horses graced the show ring. Some classes were light while others showed keen competition. The work of the judges was fairly satisfactory. The cattle showing was good. Mr. R. D. Hunter carried off the majority' of prizes in the Shorthorn class while Mr. John Deibridge practically swept the list in the Hereford class. In the indoor department there was an excellent showing. Some de- partments were not up to former years while in others the. showing was better. There was a splendid showing of poultry. The horse racing and baby show were among the chief attractions In the baby show there were quite a number of entries and the judges faced a real dilemma in awarding the prizes. The races held more than ordinary interest for those who like to see the ponies win. Gentry de Forest carried off lst money much to the surprise of many. Gentry climbed from last place in the first heat over a mile track to 1st place in the 6th heat, it requiring six heats to decide the winner. A concert was held in the Opera House in the evening when the play "It pays to Advertise" was put on by the London Dramatic Club. There was a big house and the play for amateurs was much enjoyed. I Big Crowd Attends Exeter Fair ANOTHER FINE PAID The adjourned court ease against several young men for rowdyism came up before Magistrates Hawkins and Beavers last Friday evening. One young man was fined $5.00 and cost the same as in the eases of a week previous. In the case of an- other young man the court was again postponed. Several young men who were away when the first summonses were issued will be called into court in the near future. HONOR ROLLS ON DISPLAY Mr. Leon Treble had on exhibi- tion at the Exeter Fair, some excell- ent work of Art and Penmanship. Leon executed the work on the Honor Rolls for the and Us - borne Townships. They drew forth much admiration and comment from the spectators. Leon has been work- ing in London, at present he is home prior to leaving for Toronto where he intends taking out an art course. THREE HURT AT CLINTON. Mr. and Mrs. Plumsteel and the latter's' fater Henry Plumsteel of Clinton were seriously injured Sun- day afternoon, when the motor in which they were riding was hit by a light engine bound from Goderich. Mrs. Plumsteel has a. fractured shoulder and is badly lacerated, and both men are badly bruised, but it is thought no bones are broken. The car is wrecked. The view is obscured at the elevator crossing and the hind wheels of the car were hit turning it over. The injured persons were taken to the home of Henry Plum - steel at Clinton. They were motoring to the farm of Roy Plumsteel when the smash occurred. SCHOOL BOARD MEETING. The Board met on Sept. 9th, Messrs Dignan And Grieve being absent.
