On Thursday evening of last week
i\Ir. Curtice ' Harness passed, away
after a lingering illness, at the age
of 56 years, 2 months and 3 days.

ceased had suffered quite consider-
ably. He was born near 'Bowman
ville and early in fife came to this
community with his parents, settling
near Creditors. He was united in.
marriage to his now bereaved widow
whose maiden name was Lucinda
Lamport. For' many years he has,.
been a resident of Exeter and was a
mason by trade. Ife was of a quite
unassuming disposition and held in
the greatest esteem by all who knew
him. I -lis mother, one brother and
t\vo sisters survive, viz: Mrs. S. A.
Harness, 1VIr. Ed. Harness and Miss
Annie Harness, of town, and Mrs.
Jas. Stewart, of Windsor. The fun
.erel' was held Saturday afternoon,

SUCCESSFUL CONCERT
The comedy drama. "The Dream
that. Came True"; put on in the Orr
era I-Iouse on Wednesday evening of
last weep by the young people of the
James St. league furnished an even-
ing of real entertainment for the
large crowd who • wituessel the per-
formance. It was the first time the
young people had put on a play in
the Opera House and the manner in
which all took theirparts received
very favorable comment from the
auclience. It would be unfair to
single out any in particular as all the
parts were exceptionally well played.
The scenes were laid in the parlor of
Mrs. Jenkins' boarding house a week
before Christmas and in the living
room in the Norton home the day be-
fore Christmas and the sun parlor
on Christmas evening. The furnish-
ings were very attractive and were',
furnished by Mr. M. E. Gardiner.:

COMMUNICATIONS
Dear Mr. Editor: -
What about our half holidays for
the summer months? I understand.
Hensel', Lucan and St. Marys and
other towns, have from beginning of
May to :raicidle of September. Why
not lengthen the time here also?
Surely Exeter wants to keep pace
with other towns in this respect, and
give our business men more freedom.
A Citizen.
The Town Fathers made a trip of
inspection around town on Good Fri-
day morning, inspecting the streets,
drains, sidewalks and.•.culverts and
investigating a number of complaints
that have been made re drainage. `, A
new culvert has to be put down on
On Easter morning this commun-
ity awoke to find old mother
earth draped in a mantle of the
beautiful. The day was bright ovex=
hemi and the snow had all disappear-
ed about noon. Easter services with
special Easter music were held in the
various churches of town. Several
of the pulpits were beautifully dec-
orated for the day.
