At a special meeting of the Exeter
Council held at the offee of Coun
cillor E. J. Christie on Saturday af
ternoon it was decided to grant the
Board’of Education $9,000 for the
erection of a two-room addition to
the- present school building. The
Board of Education are anxious to
get the work under way as soon as
possible and for this reason a spec-,
ial meeting of the Council was called
After considerable discussion is was
moved by H. Bierling and seconded,
by H. C. Rivers, that the Board of
Education be granted $9,000 for the
purpose of erecting a two-room ad
dition to the Exeter school and that
a By-Law .be prepared for the issu
ing of debentures to run for twenty
years and the rate of interest to be
five per cent. Clerk Jos. Senior has
figured out that the Amount neces
sary to meet the debentures and int
erest will be $722.16 annually. The
full amount of the debentures will
be borrowed from t the Cemetery
Permanent Fund and in this way
the town will receive the benefit of
the added interest as the cemetery
fund is drawing at present only 3
per cent.
Architect Wm. G. Murray, of
London, was in Exeter Tuesday ev
ening and met the committee in
charge of the building and decided
that an addition at the north east
of the present building instead of
the south-eash corner would, be the
better location. Architect Murray is
preparing plans and specifications
which will be presented in
course of a few days. ,

Russell, * daughter of Mr.
David Russell, of Detroit,
of Exeter, was united in
to Mr. Kirvin L. Werner,
of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard
also of that city, by Dr. H. I-I. Dow
ny, pastor of the church.
The bride entered the church ac
companied by her father, who gave
her away, while the organist played
the Lohengrin wedding march. She
was becomingly dressed in a wed
ding dress of peach georgette trim
med with ostrich feathers and bril
liants, together with a large picture
hat, shoes and hose to match. She
carried a bouquet of white roses,
Hly-oLthe-valley and baby breath.
Miss Florence Vincent of Pontiac,
dressed in a maize colored georgette
dress with large hat to match and
carrying a bouquet of pink roses,
acted as bridesmaid.
The groom was supported by Mr.
R. E. Russell, brother of the bride.
The entire wedding ceremony was
accompanied by the echo effects of
the new echo organ of the church.
The groom’s gift to the bride was
a black fox fur; to the bridesmaid
a pearl necklace; to the best man a
green gold wrist watch band and to
the organist a qheque.

David Kennedy, 14-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Alpin Kennedy, of
123 Connelly St., Toronto, lost his
life in the water at the Peach at
Grand Bend just
Monday, (Civic Holiday.)
trouble is believed to be the cause
of death, as no water was found on
his lungs after recovery of the body
which occurred about five minutes
after the lad, in company with his
little sister, had rushed in to bathe.
Three doctors worked over the body
for a long time, but without restor
ing any trace of life. Dr. O’Dwyer,
of Zurich, decided that an inquest
was unnecessary.
The boy hail been working on the
farm of Henry Purdy, north of Hen
sail, for about a month and the
previous evening his father and
mother and young sister came from
Toronto to visit him. They spent
the night with the lad and in the
morning took him by motor car to
Grand Bend for an outing. Before
leaving the car David had donned
bathing* costume and as the mach
ine neared the beach he and his
Sister ran about the length of a
block to the water and plunged in.
The mother and father almost im
mediately noticed that the boy was
in difficulties and other bathers
'went to his aid and within five min
utes of his entering the water his
body was brought out. Dr. Cline,
Jr., of Grand Bend. Dr. McLean of
London, and a visiting physician of
Detroit, worked over the lad with
out avail.
The boy was a good swimmer and
of such athletic prowess that be
had won the intermediate champ
ionship for his. age at the Exhibit
ion at Toronto ’two years ago. His
parents fear that the strain of his
athletic training had weakened., his
heart and this with the sudden
plunge, caused death.
■The bd’dy was. removed to Hensail
and at 5 o’clock left by train for
Toronto for interment.

borne passed away at Winchelsea
on Sunday in the person of Mr.
George Heywood, aged 91 years and

23 years came to Canada settling

he was united in marriage to Re

about 26 years. After their mar
riage they went to Jive on the Sth

his wife Mr, Heywood retired from
active farming and since that time
he has resided with his daughter-in
law, Mrs, Maude Heywood. The de
ceased is survived by one son, Wes
ley. The funeral was held Tuesday

tance who attended the funeral
