Taylor return ed on 'Sunday evening after an ab sence of nearly six months during which time they visited in Californ ia coming home by way of Vancou ver and through the west. They are both feeling fine after their long tour which proved to 'be the trip of their life. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor left here in February visiting first with Mrs. Taylor’s sister at Flint, Mich,, going from their to Kansas City and also visiting with another sister in southern Kansas, while there they were visited with eight inches caught cult to wards, they visited with their son Gordon' ' at Los Angeles, Cal., where they -had ; an excellent time and enjoyed many ' fine trips to Hollywood and various ' other places of interest in the sunny ■south. They experienced >a some what cold winter which resembled very much our spring weather and during the early part of April they had about 2 Weeks of frost at night which did damage which is estimat ed at fifty million dollars. There is a great building activity in Los Angeles but at the same time there are hundreds of residences unoccu pied. After leaving Los Angeles Mr. and Mrs, Taylor visited at San Francisco leaving by the Western Sitates through Portland-, Seattle and to Vancouver. At Vancouver they took the boat to Prince Rupert and then across to Jasper Park and Ed monton. The trip through the Rockies was delightful and Mr. and M'rs. Taylor had an exceptionally grand view of Mount Robinson the tallest peak of the Rockies, a fresh snow had fallen and with the sun shining on the peak it stood out like Italian polished marbel resembling castles and pinnacles. From Ed monton they went'to Calgary spend ing a, month with their daughter Mrs. England and also visited with their son Nelson kt Cappin, Alta. In Winnipeg they visited with their daughter, Mrs. J. 0, W. Agnew, 'and on their return they took a C. P. R. boat nt Ft, William stopping off at the Soo and visiting with, a sister-fti law, Mrs. Case, a.t Thessalon. They continued the trip to Gwon Sound and thence by train to Stratford vis iting -another daughter Mrs. McTa vish. Mr.- Taylor says this old world is not so very large after ail he was continually mooting with old friends or with former residents of this community. They enjoyed a • most, pleasant trip and at the same i time w^ro glad to get back to the old of snow and Mr. Taylor a cold which he found diffi- shake for some time after- For two and a half months Mr. Wesley Simmons has received a splendid offer for his blacksmith shop, corner of u and North Sts,, from a real estate firm in London. The offer includes only the building, not the equipment but Mr, Simmons has not as yet decided to? sell* A. near runaway accident occurred Monday afternoon, when Mr. William Mitchell was driving up town in his horse and buggy. Mr. Mitchell was driving on to Main Street from Ann Street when a couple of boys with a small express wagon in which was a. bag of flour were coasting down the incline which passes in front of the Snell block. At the- corner the boys saw the predicament and let the wagon go which run just in front of the horse. The horse reared and jumped over the wagon, Mr. Mitchell with great skill kept the animal under control and drove be tween the pumps of Mr. TayloFs ig.asoline .station and the building coming out on to the road where be finally got the horse under con trol. It was a narrow escape. sms. A YEO DOWN RETIRES FROM BUSINESS Twenty-eight years of highly sue-* cessful trading in one location in any community is a record, of which, any merchant might well be proud. It is doubtless, a matter of real re gret to tile inhabitants o.f Exeter and Huron County to note the pass ing of such an olfl and familiar landmark as the store over the des tinies of which Mrs. A. Yeo Down has so ably presided for over a quarter of *& century. 'Something more than just business ability is required to safely guide a business enterprise over the vicissitudes of the changing years. Courtesy, in tegrity, vision an d a genial person ality are essential; /jail of which, traits Mrs. Down pc^essed to an ad mirable degree and* whilst every body will join in wishing Mrs. Down a long and happy life of useful ser vice in her, new sphere of activity her retiremnt will be regarded as a distinct loss to the businss commun ity of Exeter and Huron County. Recently Mrs. Down sold her dry good stock to Mr. A. E. Buswell, in cidentally one of Exeter’s Old Boys, and it is his intention to sell th& entire stock without any reserva tion in a whirwind se)ren days sale commencing Saturday, July 20th at prices that will make an outstand ing and memorable event in Exeter sales history. > Benson La Londibn ♦ Between ondon your1 truoking 'S' iWh’e 25 ...J
