Death -of Isaac iiandfoxd• i We announced last week the serious illness of Mr. Isaac Handford of this place. Mr. Handford had been ailing. for sometime and had anloperationfor anahscees performed in the hospital at London re- ,cently. He was not taken to bed until a few days aroand although he complained, nothing serious was anticipated until meningitis showed signs of development, when it became apparent that life was fact ebbing, and on Saturday morning, the '24th of Dec., 1892, the vital spark took its flight. Deceased was 42 years 6 mos, 'old, and had been a resident of Exeter for a number of years,' inhere, as blacksmith and carriage builder, he had succeeded in building up a large and lucrative business. A. skilled mechanic, a boon companion, he enjoyed the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of friends, who will very much regret his untimely death.About a yearago he married his second wife in the person of Mrs. Logg, daughter of our esteemed townsman, Mr. Allen, who with a large family by his first wife still survive him. Mr Handford was a son of Richard Hand- ford, sr., and was born in the township of Stephen near Devon. He was associated with various sporting clubs in the town, and a member of the Defiance Fire Com- pany. In the death of Mr.Handford,Exe- ter loses a reapected citizen.and one whose presence on our streets and as a business man in our village, will be greatly misaed. He had his failings, as who of us has not, but his very failings were those that come se a result of that good quality of love of company and loge of liberality. The funeral took place on Tuesday and was conducted by the Ancient Order of Foresters, of whu,eh Society he was a member. There were over one hundred rigs in the cortege, the procession being headed by the Forest- ers, in'handeoriie regalia, followed by the members of Defiance Fire Co. No 2, and some twelve members' of the Exeter Gan, Club. The various churches' in town were test - fly decorated on Sundaywith ever Teens 4 y g s1 and appropriate mottoes. Wedding Bons. The wedding at DIr Isaac Bawden's, on the 27th passed off very pleasautly, and the newly married couple went off very happy. Tile oompauy was not large, most of the near neighbors, and near relatives being present, and had an exceedingly pleasant time, Mr. Smith, from the cold North Laud took from us one of our very best Christian young ladies,, His brother came ail the way from Saskatoon to see that the knot was properly tied. They were the recipients of a large number of valuable presents. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have gone to their new home in Strath - r A very happyceremony was celebrated at the residence of Mr. Frank Gill, on Wednesday afternoon, being the marriage of his second daughter, Miss Lillian, to Mr. Theo Sweet, of Mitchell; formerly of Exeter. The relatives and friends of the contracting parties were present in CDR' siderable numbers from various points The bridesmaid was Miss May Gill, sister of the bride, and Mr,. Robb. H. 8 xeet, a brother, ariisted the groom. Rev, A. L. Russell, pastor ot the James -at church, officiated. The happy couple will shortly leave for their home in Mitchell, carrying with them the very beat wishes of a host of friends. May theirs be a happy wed- ded life is the wish of Tat TIMES.

The Ladies' Aid of Main-st church gave their regular quarterly tea on Weduoaday evening. There was a splendid tea served and a good program rendered to a fair audience. This is the time for Choice Fruits in Raisins and Currants. New citron and lemon peels. Very fine qualityVostozza Currants at J. P. Clarke's. Mr. Thomas Ogden of Usborne, formerly in the employ of jfeaao Carling, !Esq., was married lest week to Miss Mary Schund of Dashwood. The ceremony was per- formed at Iiirkton. It is now an almost assured fact that an oat meal mill will be built on the site of the grist mill deatroycd by fire last fall, and recently pin chased by Mr. J.N.!Toward from Meters. Rollins & Williams We were visited last week by a very heavy scow storm,which lasted for several days, the consequence being that we now plod through over two feet of enow,evenly distributed. Should it remain it will be a great impetus to business. There will be a four-day prayer meeting in the Main-st. Meth. churth next week, commencing on Tuesday. The services will be held during the day and conducted by several ministers, who will be hero for the occasion. At J. P. Clarke's,the greatest bargain in Men's T+lur Caps to hand this week, 12 only—sizes 7* and 7a—their regular prices were $3.00, $4.00, etc.; they will be sold for $I.50 and $2.00 etc -,suitable for middle-aged men and older—Caps without peaks. Diphtheria is prevalent among the school children of Detroit,and the charge is made by Dr. R. S. Farnum of that city, that the disease has been spread by interchanging lead pencils. The Beard of Education furnishes pencils for all the scholars, and the latter are not allowed to use any others. We would respectfully remind the Prin- cipal of the Exeter Public School that Tux Teem is quire anxious and willing to pub- lish the monthly school report ; and as the publication of these reports are en- couraging to the scholars. and a consequent benefit to different departments of the school, as well as a matter of importance to the paper, we world ask the Trustees to request the publication of the reports regularly in the village papers. The Charity Concert on Wednesday .of last week was a success. The reeve oc- cupied the chair and spoke of the object of the Concert. The program was a splendid one and was carried our very satisfactorily by local talent. The attendance was not as large as it might have been, but, how. OTC; the proceeds amounted to $45, which has been distributed among the deserving poor. For this Concert, Reeve Bawden deserves much praise, as in this as in other good moves, he was the promoter. Those men who oast derision upon the efforts of the promoters of the late Charity Concert, are unworthy of the name. The wen who got up the Concert went to con- siderable trouble, and did it through no selfish motive; but actuated by a more progressive humane spirit, they sought to make the deserving poor, in a measure, happy in these anything but cheery days, and if those narrow minded citizens were not dienosed to lend' a hand in so worthy a purpoee, they might have had sufficient reasoning to refrain from belittl- ing. the affair.

Rollins; Deputy- Reeye,H.Seackman by acclamation; Conn - enters, E. S. Howard, D. A. Ross, T. B. Carling, J- P. Clarke, E, Christie, W. G. Bissett, R. H. Collins, L. H. Dickson and Eli Snell. The old council from the Reeve down gave short addresses, explaining to the electorate their many good qualities individually and collectiyely, and with the exception of D. A. Ross, who publicly re- signed within the limited time, all offered themselves for re-election, assuring the rate -payers that they would do even better next year, fully realising, no doubt, that there was room for improyement. Each of the new candidates were then called upon to lay down their platform, They each found considerable fault with the ability of the Council of 1892,but with the exception of ,T. P. Clarke, Eli Snell, and E S How- ard. who were not present, and W G. Bts• sett and T. H. McCallum, all resigned, de clining to to seek a seat at the Board that they might do butter, leaving the Reeve and deputy -Reeve elected by acclamation. It is one thing to talk another to act. There were in the seyeral speeches soma very good points, but double the number of frivolous nonsensical accusione The meet- ing finally resolved itself into a feeling of unity, and had it not been that Mr, Rosa publicly declined the nomination within the half hour, the old council would have been elected by acclamation. As it is there will be an election for Councillors, and the contest is berween Meseta. Carling Christie,'Bisaett, McCallum and Clarke. They are all good men and -in the selection of any three, there cannot be a grave mis- take made.
