Notice 15 hereby given that a: Court of Revision for the Assessment ild71 of the Township of Stephen, will held its first meeting for the present year in the TOWN HALL, CREDITON, ON SATURDAY, M.A.' 26, at 10 a.• m, Dr, Rollins Given A Baal jet Presented with a Seal, a Pipe and • a Cane On Wednesday evening of last week about forty'of the friends of Dr. J, .A. Rollins tendered him ia. complimentary banquet in the Town Hall, prior -to his leaving town to locate some place in the west, between Winnipeg and Hon- olulu, as be himself has said. Those present were mainly his old•tirn.e friends now` residing in, town, together with a few of the younger generation and Mr. George Holman of Seaforth. The Exeter band was in attendance and they, together with Messrs:Elrunre Serum. as pianist, Roy Farmer as vio- linist and Mr. Joseph Senior asaolra'ist, furnished the musical part of the pro- gram. The Warden of the County, Mr, Hugh Spackman, was in the chair and made an admirable toast master. Af- ter all had done justice to the spread which had been prepared by Mr: W.J. Statham, Mr. Spackman opened the after part with a few choice retnarks regarding the regret which the people of the town and the commamity in gen- eral felt at the departure of the doctor. He referred in glowing terms to his career as a municipal officer in the vil- lage and in the pointy, he having sat at both assemblies for several years and occupied the chairs of the reeve and warden in a moot creditable man - Da. ROLLINS ner. Professionally his career had been sk brilliant one and the .only rea- son why he was not a weelthTrnan to- day was because he had always been a liberal friend to the pour and needy. Mr. N. D. Hurdon responded to the toast of the British Empire and Mr. L. H. Dickson to that of Canada. Both, 'as did all the succeeding speakers, wandered from their texts somewhat,, in order to express the thoughts that were uppermost in their minds,—those thoughts which touch upon their guest of the evening, Dr. Rollins; and they all in turn spoke feelingly of his many good points—his broad and liberal mind, his large heart, his open hand— and told in one and twenty ways rea- sons why the doctor had become so widely respected and honored by his fellows in the community, Mr. Hur- don, respecting the toast he responded to, eulogized the British Empire as the greatest that has been, being, as it is, one-quarter of land surface of the globe, great in sovereigns, in com- merce, in army and navy, in civiliza- tion and coloeization,in liierature,ete., and predicted the day when the Anglo- Saxon tongue would be the language of the whole wide world.. Mr. Dickson likewise regretted the departure of his close personal friend of 22 years stand- ing, and hoped that the guest, who was leaving the diamonds to search for tbe gold,would find occasions to re- turn in the future to live with us once more. "Canada," be said, was our birth place, our native land, our home, the place where our fathers and moth- ers lay in their silent tombs, and he wondered not why we loved our count- ry so. Canada was the field of our labor, where we had won and lost and won again. He dwelt on the rapid vrowth of Canada, and believed that the twentieth century belonged to us as the nineteenth had to the United States, in point of advancement in every line. He predicted that in 100 years our population would equal that of our neighbors at present. Canada is the first and greatest colony of the Empire with a democratic government —stable, responsible and free. In the absence of Mi'.Eilber, M.P.P.. which. was unavoidable the toast of the Legislative Assembly was not re- sponded to, However the toast to the Municipal Assemblies was ably re- Ws onded to by Reeve Bobier, Ex -Reeve . G. Bissett, end Mr. Thos., Hawkins en Ex -Reeve of Usborne township. Mr. Bobier said he had a gond council. board with him; we bad a neat, clean, healthy town, with the prospects of a boom, and believed that those leaving town would some day return.. Mr. Bis- sett had known thedoctor intimately for 35 years and trusted that he would return wealthy and' live here again. Mr. Hawkins claimed for Usborne the position of the banner township in the county in every way, land, roads, municipal improvetnents•and indust - lona fanners..

Apply- SANDERS & i I2I:EOT3. SANDEUUS & CREECH, Prop's Atthis jalnoture Mr. Jos, Senior was. called upon and he rendered in excel- lent voice a beautiful solo,"The Veter- I an's song;"a patriotic ancdsoul-stirrin piece appeepiiate to the occasion. Dr. Lutz was then called upon by the chairman to propose the toast to the guest of the evening. In doing so the' Dr. delivered a fifteen -minutes ad- dress of most eloquent nature, beauti- fnlin thought and language, during which be paid a most graceful and tjecoming tribute to the public spirited diameter aril great moral worth of the guest of honor. The world, he said; wee quirk to see a man's short- coin•rigs but slow to see his perfections, but xylien such a public-spirited citizen, ais l');'•,Rollins had proved himself to he,. decided to leave we hasten to honor Wine ' I.n•this case the feeling had been spontaneous and unanimous among the people of Exeter. They had been intimately acquainted for many years, and I. he speaker had always found Dr. It's word to be as good as his bond. Everybody knows of his kindness. The.eialculating world might say that he had been too kind and charitable for liis own -good. But he thought not. They would sometime receive their re- ward, because they are permanent, •a biding, 'enduring, He had the satis- faction of knowing that he had done his duty well. He had never known hili to say an uncharitable word to anyone. The speaker then presented hilaaatvith a gold seal and a pipe wish - fug him, success and .would welcome hili •back.. The band then broke out in "He's a jolly good fellow," in which all joined. Dr. Hollinsfeelingly replied. He re- gretted the necessity of severing his happy connections, having .spent the nlostlof bis life here. Partings were sorrowful at all times. In youth when the blend ran swiftly through the veins the Wrench was not so severe as when, like now, be was declining in life and the instinct is strong to be with old friend, and. old scenes. He was glad the people had excused .his mistakes and imperfections and bad been toler- ant with hint, was pleased that any, little set vice had been nppreciated;aud thanked them 'kindly for their tokens of remembrances, the seal and pipe. Two conditions might bring him back to Exeter, extreme proverty or inde- penderit wealth; the- ohe because he knew -that in their kindness they wuuid care for hire; the other because there was no better place on earth in which to live. He would welcome one :arid all to his new home if they should ever pass his way. To "The Learned Profession," Mr. Holman and Ur. Malloy responded. Mr.Ir.,)man spoke of their great neces- eity'aLr' usefulness, and the import- :lame mportatnee of having and keeping the stand- ard high. Dr. Malloy evaded bis sub- ject and said that he desired to extend thanks to Dr. Rollins for his kindly and fatherly assistance, professionally, since he came to succeed him. Mr. 'J.'-B.Carling and Mr.John Farri- er responded to "The Merchantile• In- terests." Mr.Carling regretted the de- parture of a forty -year friend, and then spoke of the progress in a mer-. chantile way, particularly in improved transportation and power facilities. Mr. Farmer regretted the necessity of the occasion, and wished the Dr, bon voyage. "The Press" fell to Mr. C.H.Sanders and Mr. J. 3.. White. Mr. Sanders said he would miss Dr.Rollins because of late years be had probably been more in his company than any other man around the board. With regard to the Press, or "Fourth Estate," it was one of the greatest of the age; its advancement bad been rapid and cer- tain; to -day it was free and untram- melled by any arbitrary power. Where a press was free, the people were free; the press was the great disseminator of news and the educator of the peo- ple. Mr: White evaded the text and spoke of the sporting ability of the guest in bowline and curling and re- gretted his leaving. He, too, wished a. pleasant journey, and an early re- turn. Messrs.Joseph Davis and J.J.Rnight responded to thea toast, "To The Ladies" both reg11tting their absence : on this occasion as the ladies would have been pleased to do honor to their old friend, Dr. Rollins. The toast list being over, Dr. Rollins arose and thanked the Exeter Fire De- partment for the handsome,gold-head- ed cane, which he found awaiting him in his room on his arrival that even- ing from London. The doctor bad been an honorary member of the bri- gade and the kindly remembrance was very pleasing to him. g Dr. I..ilins left town Friday morn- ing with the best wishes of his many friends, several of whom were at the station to see brim off. At London he was joined by Miss Rollins and that afternoon they boarded the steamer "Monarch" at Sarnia. For a time they will visit in Crystal Oity and oth- er places. There present intention is to locate in Saskatoon. Thomas Welsh Hangs Himself Mr. Thomas Welsh. residing on I:111 - Mb street, West of the L. H. & B. track, hanged himself in his cellar Monday morning. He had been miss- ed about the house after nine o'clock that morning lint the body was not discovered until noon when his little daughters, who were living with him, went into the cellar to secure food for dinner and saw the body hanging. Not knowing what was wrong they did not give an alarm for some time. It was not until' two o'clock that Messrs, Janes Creech, Sr., and Abe. Dearing, neighbors, hearing what the little girls had said, went to the house land when enable to gain an entrance, they looked in the cellar window and saw the body hanging to a joist. O.pen- ing the window Mr. Dearing went in- side land eut.the rope. VICTORIA DAY DEMONSTRATION AT EXETER Complete arrangements have now been made by which the people of Exeter and surrounding villages and country wilt be given a big clays amusement on the anniversary of the birthday of our late beloved Sovereign, Queen Victoria, THURSDAY, MAY 24th, 1906 Under the Auspices of the Stephen and Usborne Agricultural Society. A Whole day's Sport Liberal Prizes Given Morning—Calithumpian and Trades Procession. Afternoon—Horse Races, Ball Games, Athletic Sports. Evening—Concert of Choice Talent in the Opera House Dr. Hyn d man was immediately sum- moned and on examination pronounced life extinct for sonic. hours. W.ben fotind his knees were almost touching the floor. The bottom of the joist is only an inch or two over six feet high. The rope waa attached to a hook in the bottom of one of the joist. About three feet of rope extend- ed between the book and the neck of the victim. The deed bad apparently been most deliberate and determined. Mr. Welsh has been for years of a pessimistic disposition and brooded a great deal over troubles of more or less moment. Of late be had claimed that a shim of money (sotne $300) had been taken from the house. Continu- al worrying had undoubtedly brought on temporary insanity, and determined to end his troubles he had taken his own •life. • • Dr. Browning, coroner decided that an ingiiest was unnecessary. Deceased was•57 years and 6 months old and had been a resident of Exeter for twenty-six years, having come here from bis birthplace; Devonshire, Eng- land, in 1880. , His wife died in Octo- ber last after an illness of several years. Four brothers and two sisters, besides the aged mother, who resides with her eldest son, Richard, in lien - sail. The brothers are Richard, Wil- liam and Henry of Hensall, and John of London Road North, and the sis- ters are Mrs. Thos. Brock and Mrs. Sarah Newcombe of town. Three sons, Thomas of Brandon, Man.; Garnet of. Forest, and Charlie of Ushor'ne Tp., and six daughters, Mrs. Amos Barlow and Miss Bessie of London, Miss Polly of Toronto, Misses Lilly, Jennie and Ida at home, also survive. The sym- pathy of the community is extended to the relatives in their sad bereave- ment. The funeral took place to the Exeter cemetery on Wednesday at one o'clock.

At the morning session the devotional exercises were conduct- ed by Mrs. (Rev.) Sutcliffe of Grand Bend. The Holy Communion was ad- ministered by Rey. G. W. Andrews.
