CORN ROAST
A number of young people from
the Exeter H, S. held a, corn roast
on the banks of the Aux Saub'le on
Tuesday evening and had a most en-
joyable time. Corn, marshmallows
and other refreshments were on the
menu. The three H. S. teachers were
present.
EXETER BOY GOES TO
NEW YORK
Mr, C. R. Howard, who has been
accountant on the staff of the Can-
adian Bank of Commerce in town,
left 'on Wednesday morning for New
York, where he has been promoted
to the lucrative position of assistant
accountant of the New York branch.
Mr. Howard returned to town this
week after enjoying a few holidays
in Toronto and other places. His
many friends in town will wish for
him every success.
LINEN SHOWER.
A pleasant evening was spent at
the home of Miss Vera Rowe on Fri-
day last when a number of lady
friends of Mrs. Wm. Melville (nee
Miss Mae Wood) met and presented
her with a linen shower. The occas-
sion was a complete surprise. The
presentations were brought in in an
umbrella decorated with ribbons and
flowers. The remainder of the even-
ing was spent in games and amuse-
ments after which refreshments were
served.
WHEAT RETURNS GOOD.
Wheat deliveries in. town during
the past week have been extra heavy
and the farmers have been quite
gratified at the handsome cheques
received for deliveries. The wheat is
of extra good quality most of it
testing over standard. A lot of it Ts
�V clean and is being brought to market
Y direct from the threshing machine.
t• Mr. J. S. Harvey, of Harvey Bros.,
A regular meeting of the Usborne
Council was held in Elimville on
Sept. 4th. All members were present.
Minutes of the meeting held Augus
7th were read and approved.
BI -law No. 11, fixing rates fo
1920 was finally read and signed.
The following notion was passed
That since due notice has been given
.by .,the Usborne Council to the Exe
ter Council that the Usborne Coun
cit refused to collect a school rat
on N% lot 21, lot 22 and 23, con
1, Usborne, for the Exeter Schoo
Board until proofs are given tha
they have power to collect such rates
and since no response has been re-
ceived from the Exeter Council or
School Board and no proofs given,
the result that on the request of the
owners of the said lots, they be now
placed in School Section No .5, Us -
borne and that they be charged the
No. 5 rate for 1920.
The' 4% miles of extra designated
road to which the township of Us -
borne is entitled, was allotted from
the Corporation of Exeter, east, to
Coward's corner on the Exeter side -
road.
Bills to the amount of $413.88
were passed and orders issued for
the payment of the same.
Council adjourned to meet on
October 2nd.
Henry Strang, Clerk.
states that he never saw wheat with
less shrinkage than there is this
year. With a good crop and a big
price the returns are very satisfying.
STEPLADDER. NEEDED TO
PICK CORN COB.
'When speaking of the remarkable
growth of the products of the field
and garden it is quite frequent to
hear the remark I never saw the
like." The Times has on exhibition
t in front of the office a stalk of corn
that easily beats anything we have
r seen. And this remark has been.
made by many who have seen it.
The stalk measures thirteen feet
four inches. It has one large cob of
_ corn and the ordinary man needs
_ some sort of an elevation to reach
e it. An extra tall man can just nice-
- ly reach the bottom of the cob.

BEATEN UP AND ANOTHER
KIDNAPPED.
The imposing, scarlet, silent pol-
ice force that has been doing duty
on Main street has received some
rough handling by the public since
its innauguration a few weeks ago.
One was knocked over and badly
beaten up the other evening during
a shower when it was struck by an
auto. The one doing duty at the
north end was kidnapped last week
and carried a mile north of town
where it was thrown in the ditch.
Some residents of the community
have not taken kindly to the red
sentinels that stand at different
crossings and 'direct the "traffic to
the right," Some of the larger autos
hind it a little difficult to make the
turns on the corners as directed ow-
ing to the width of the pavement.
MOSTLY GOSSIP.
Dame Gossip was busy last Friday
and in the evening a party of young
people created an embarassing situ-
ation when they serenaded the home
of an Exeter lady who was enter-
taining a number of friends in hon-
or of a gentleman guest. The lady
and gentleman were seen to visit
the James St. parsonage and the
story gained circulation that the
nuptial knot had ,been tied. In the
evening the rattle of tin pans was
heard accompanied by the toot of
auto horns.
It is retiorted that a couple of
Exeter youths visited Dashwood the
other evening and took a couple of
the Dashwood fair ones over to Cred-
iton for an auto ride. Some of the
Crediton lads succeeded in ` taking
the Dashwood maidens away from
the Exeter lads and gave the latter
a beating up. True love never did
run smooth.
The carpenters have finished the
Work of remodelling Mr. Nelson
Sheere's house, corner of James and
Andrew streets. It is now ready to
be lathed and plastered. When com-
pleted it will make a beautiful and
comfortable home. ,
