During the severe electrical storm
which passed over this district early
Monday morning the barn of
Homer Bagshaw, Hjtron street,
destroyed by fire; the house
struck and Mr. Bagshaw had a
row escape from death. The lightn
ing struck an aerial which was con

entered the ground just below the
window and knocked two large
stones from the foundation of the
house. The lightning also followed
the aerial to the barn and it was
soon a mass of flames. With his
transport truck Mr. Bagshaw has
tened to the town hall and rang the
alarm. The fire truck was soon on
the scene and had a stream of water
playing on the flames and saved part
of the framework. Numerous cars
and citizens had come from all di
rections, most of the citizens hav
ing been awakened by the loud
thunderclap. The sky was lit up
from the reflection. Before the
people had dispersed rain began to
fall quite heavily. There was no in
surance on the barn. A car belong
ing to Mr. Bagshaw was saved.
1.0 O.F. PARADE TO CHURCH
Celebrate Anniversary of Order
The Exeter lodge of Oddfellows
celebrated the 114th anniversary of
their order on Sunday by attending
Divine worship in Main Street Unit
ed Church in the evening. The
brethren paraded from the lodge
room to the church headed by Bro.
W. W. Taman as marshall and the
N. G. Bro. E. R. Hopper. There were
over eighty members present includ
ing visitors from Hensall, Brucefield
and Parkhill lodges. Tlhe pastor
Rev. A. E. Elliott preached a very
impressive and inspiring sermon tak
ing as his subject “An Old World Ro
mance” based on the friendship of
Jonathan, the prince, for David the
peasant youth. He spoke of trie
beauty and reality of the friendship
Which began with the slaying of the
enemy Goliath by David. It may
have been easy for Jonathan to have
loved David when he had achieved
fame but the reality of the love wae
proven when David was an outcast
and his life was being hunted. It is
easy to- be friendly with those whe
agree with us or with those who are
always in honor. But there comes
a time when we come face to face
with someone desperately in need;
someone who is fighting a
battle. To be a true brother
necessary to be ready to do
princely thing.
Jonathan might have sent a
senger to David to warn him of the
peril he was in but Jonathan, with
his real sympathy and love, went
himself and thereby aroused his
father’s ire and pretty well imperil
led his own life. Jonathan faltered
not in the carrying out of his

CREAMERY ROBBED
The Winchelsea Creamery was en

and stole a sum of money after
breaking off the safe combination
with a chisel and sledge. Entrance
had been made through an
office window and after battering
up the door of the safe they secured
only a small sum of lrioney, between
$6 and $7. Provincial Constable P.
E. MclCoy, of Goderich, investigated
the case and secured very indefinite
clues as to the robbers. The robbers

It is the duty of an Oddfellow to vis

that he is able to- face every storm

The love of David had remained
long years after Jonathan had pass
ed away as was shown in his care
of Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s crip
pled son, who was taken to the pal
ace and sat at the king's table and
to whom was restored the property
of his father. True philanthrop-hy
has roots in religion and true relig

great elder brother, Jesus Christ
loved so sublimely that he could die
for us all.
A short song service was held at
the beginning with Rev. Mr. Elliott
at the piano. The choir furnished
special music and a quartette was
sung by Messrs. Gerald Skinner, M

On the return to the Lodge room
