from their gardens. Mr. Thos.

far from ideal but this year one
could hardly hope for a finer brand
of weather.

started something that will be hard
to repeat. The"Times-Advocate has
on exhibition a large soft-shelled egg
that measures 61x8% inches and
inside the soft shell is a hard-shelled

. Eight automo-

travellers staying at the Central
Hotel and in the morning it was
found that each car had one punct

the cars was also punctured. In the
last car in line the nail that evident
ly had been used in puncturing the
tires was left in the tire, It was
some time before the travellers were
able to got on their way Thursday
morning, They left with a fine feel-

malice aforethought is a bad knock j on any municipality.
I PLOWING MATCH THE BEST YET
I The plowing match held under
the auspices of the Exeter District
Branch of the Ontario Plowmen’s
association on the.farm of Mr. Mil
ton Luther on Friday last was one
of the most successful ever held in
this section. As for the weather
the day was ideal although the land
was somewhat dry to make the best
plowing. There were more contest
ants this year than ever and com
petition was very keen. The work
dpne by most of the contestants was
of exceptional merit. All day long
a steady stream of spectators visit
ed the place. There were 21 teams
and 7 tractors taking part.
The prizes were awarded as fol

The Exeter Chambers of Commer--
ce was represented at the annual
convention of Western Ontario Unit
ed Boards of Trade held at Walker
ton on Thursday and Friday of last
week by M. R. Complin, J. W. Ppwell
and J. M. Southeott. Many live
questions relating to the welfare of
Western Ontario came up for dis
cussion. Among the important items
that were dealt with the first day
was the importance of the tourist
traffic which is fast taking its place
as the largest industry in the pro
vince. One of the problems is to
get this traffic off of the highways
onto the good gravel county and
township roads. Not alone the Am
ericans but the people of our own
cities need to know more about the
beauties pf their own province.
Prof. Doolittle, of Toronto, said that
every part of Western Ontario is a
spot where tens of thousands of
Americans would revel in delight
because it is so different to anything
they have got. Below the Mason-
Divon line there is not a clear
stream of water that you would pic
nic along. The tourist traffic brings
the market to the farmer,
preference in imigration and
rail development were over
ant items on the program,
quet was tendered the delegates
Thursday evening by the Walkerton
Welfare Association. Mr. M. R.
'Complin, of town, was elected one of
the county representatives on
executive.

Many residents of Exeter*, were
awakened early Saturday morning
by the honking of many geese as
they winged their way southward to
avoid the cold of approaching win
ter. The birds” went over in num
erous flocks which were estimated
in thousands. They passed over Ex
eter just before the dawn and were
not visible but from the incessant
din and clamoring of the birds as
they passed low over the town, it
was easy to believe that thousands
of them were in the air, as squad
ron after squadron passed over. It
is thought that the bright lights of
Exeter confused the birds which was
the reason for their flying low and
the great noise they made awakened
many sleepers. One young man of
town got out of bed and climbed to
the roof of one of the highest stores
in town with a shotgun but owing
to invisibility did not got a shot.
SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY
The 32nd anniversary of the Main
St. United church was held on Sun
day last. Large congregations were present both morning and evening f Queen,
and listened to splehdid discourses | Castle,
by Rev. A, ’ Murray Stuart, of Mit
chell. His morning text was Heb.
4:15 when reference was made to
Christ’s temptations and suffering
and when we come to meet with re
verses, hardships and struggles in
life, in Christ we have a sure help,
he himself being tempted in all
points like as we are. The evening
message was from the book of Rev
elation 21:18. The interpretation
given to the text made it refer to
the different periods of life when
decisions were made And the redeem
ed entered the kingdom. The three
gates on the\ east Were symbolical of
youth; The nprth throe gates were
entered through adversity; the
south throe gates through prosper

splendid music throughout the day.
The financial response was good
and When returns are all made about
$900.00 will be reached. Oaven

A VISIT TO SCOTLAND
Mr. W. D. Sanders in, his letter,
this week gives an interesting ac
count of his trip to Scotland.
Mr. Editor,—
On August the 22nd we left Black
burn for a short visit to Scotland
and Ireland, time only permitting
us to make a short stay in both
these countries. We left Blackburn
at 10.15 a.m. arriving in Edinburgh
4 p.m. We had some difficulty in
securing accomodation but finally
were accomodated at a private hotel
—incidently it rained most of the
day. However we booked for a
motoi’ tour to Melrose Abbey the fol
lowing day. It was a lovely drive,
considered the finest hundred miles
in the borders taking the way out
of Edinburgh by the finest road in
to it, we get a glimpse of Graigmil-
ler Castle. It stands „ on rising
ground and is in a good state of
preservation. It was supposed to
have been erected in 1212. Queen
Mary fixed her residence there on
her return from France, and it is
full of memories of that unlucky
We also passed Melville
Dalkeith Palace, Newbattle
Abbey, Dalhousie Castle and Cock
pen associated with the old song
.“The Laird O’ Cockpen.” Before |
reaching Middleton Moor we get a
view of Borthwick Castle where
Queen Mary once spent four days,
leaving there disguised as a man.
After reaching Middleton Moor, we
have a long run down hill by Gala
Water to Stow and Galashiels. From
Galashiels we get our first view of
Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter
Scott, who has written so many bal
lads and romances of Scotland. We
see the beauty of the Tweedside; the
meeting of the waters Where the
Ettrick and the Tweed rivers join
(or wed one another) and pass
down a rather narrow road of lovely
shade trees. We stopped af Abbots
ford, which Was built by Sir Walter
Scott. For a small payment one is
