Exeter Times, Purchases
The Exeter Advocate
This week we take pleasure
in announcing what we. we
l ielle v,
to be a forward step. The Exe-
ter Times has taken oyer the
Exeter Advocate, their plant,
subscription list and good -will.
Beginning next week this paper
will appear as The Times -Advo-
cate. 'We have made this ven-
ture believing that the amalga-
mation, of the two papers will
enable us to serve, this commun-
ity ' better. This action is in
keeping' With the general .trend
throughout Canada,. The high
cost of producing a. newspaper
has led many "weeklY;Papers' to
unite. St. Marys, Mitchell, Clin-
ton and Wingham have been re-
duced • from two newspapers to
one. Our aim will be to serve
this community to the best of
our ability„ and to "maintain a
strictly independent attitude, in
connection with' politics. A ful-
ler announcement will be made
next week.

RAIN IS NEEDED
Less ploughing has been done
In the county this fall than any fall
for a long time, owing to the lackof
rain and the exceeding dryness of
the land. Unless there is still, plow-
ing weather it will make things
very difficult for the farmer with
much plowing to do. ,
ARICSY- 'Ji1OIVMSON NUPTIALS
The Exeter Presbyterian Manse
was the scene of a quiet and pretty
wedding on Wednesday, when Miss
Alice A. Thomson; youngest daught-
er of Mr. and. Mrs. John Thomson,
of Usborne became the bride of Mr,
George Arksy, youngest =sou of Mr.
and Mia Oliver Arksy, of St. ,Marys,
Rev. Jas, Foote officiated, The
bride was dressed in a gown of
brown silk canton crepe embroidried
with bronze andgold beads, with:
hat, coat and shoes to match, wear-
ing a rope of pearls, the gift of the
groom After luncheon the, happy
couple took the evening train amid
showers of confetti:
THIEVES BREAK INTO
C. N. R. STATION
The C'. N. R. station was broken
into 'Monday evening by thieves and
a lot of useful articles were stolen.
The baggage room was entered and
a couple of trunks were broken into
And ransacked but as far as could
be learned nothing of importance
was taken. The thief also broke in-
to the freight sheds and selected a
sack of flour from among the seven
sacks that were 'there. Some bis-
cuits and candies were also stolen.
A couple of sacks of sugar that was
lying close at hand were not touch-
ed. Judging from what was stolen
and what was left the work looks
like a local job.

stricken, and for some time 'the doc-
tors were baffled over the nature of
the disease. But a steadily grow-
ing malignant internal growth, grad-
ually sapper the life away, and after
many weeks of suffering a halo of
peace and victory gathered about the
scenes of death. Mr. Donnelly leav-
es behind a; wife, formerly Mary Pur-
dy of Norwich, and four sons and
one daughter; Charles H,, grocer of
St. Thomas; Clarence J., dairyman
and contractor, London; Rev. Wal-
