J 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.

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.

After the ’ceremony about twenty- five relatives and friends returned to the home of the bride’s parents Where a buffet luncheon was served after which the young couple left for a motor trip to several points in Ontario.

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.
