The subject of this sketch, early in life accepted Jesus as his Saviour and Friend and to those who stood j y him in his closing hours on this earth, he gave full assurance that all was well with him and that his Sav- iour and loved ones gone before were waiting to receive him on the happy shore of his eternal home. With a mind clear to the last, he asked that certain hymns be sung at the house service, and with one exception ask- ed his former friends at Elimville to be ' the bearers to Isis last resting place. The floral tributes showed the es- teem in which he was held and on Monday he was laid to rest at Elim - villa cemetery and with a bright sun shining overhead and amidst the floral tributes, his friends had to leave his body there..

Die, HARRISON DIES SUDDENLY There passed away in Detroit on Wednesday, Dr. Ninnan F. Harrison, a practicing physician of that city and a former Exeter young man at the age of 58 years. That one so hardy and robust to all outward ap- pearanc, should be taken so suddenly seems almost incredible. Dr. Har- rison had been enjoying the best of health up to the last and had been making preparations to go on a shooting expedition, but was sudden- ly seized with a heart attack and died with scarcely a moment's warning.. The Dr. was a son of the late Richard Harrison, who came to his death about 26 years ago in a very similar measure to that of his son, he having gone to the James St. Methodist church to enjoy the morn- ing services, as was his wonted cus- tom and while there 'was stricken with heart trouble and died instant- ly. Dr. Harrison spent the most of his boyhood days in Exeter and got his early educationin the Exeter public school. Later he took up the study of medicine and some few years after -passed his medical exams. most creditably. For many years he has been a resident of Detroit, where he practiced his profession to an em- inent degree. He was a man of strik- ing physique and was much respected as a professional man and citizen. The Dr. was never married. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Robt. Taylor, Usborne and Mary of Toro?: to, and two brothers John of 'Porous to, and Samuel in the U. S. The remains were brought here for bur- ial, the funeral taking place from the residence of Mr. C. T. Brooks to the Exeter cemetery. DEATH OD HENRY COULTIS. • It is with regret that we have to record the death of a most esteemed, citizen, in 'the person of Mr. Henry Collins. Born in the county of Pic- kering in the year 1857; he moved early in life with. his ' parents to the seventh concession of Usborne, where he 'helped his father to hew a home out of the forest, and his life was practically spent in that district. In the year. 1887, he was united in marriage with Carrie Harvey. The union was blessed with,two•children: Nelson and Almeda. After 25 years of happy.. wedden life, hiswife was called to her reward above At the marriage of his son Nelson, he and his daughter moved,'to Exeter to reside. In 1,9;19 he was married to his present sorrowing wife; who has been his ^ faithful attendant throughout his' fetal illness, which extended over a -period, of `•ten weeks; and during all this though racked with pain, never a murmur escaped his lips, as he bore his suffering with Christian fortitude.. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McGregor mo- tored over from Port Huron and are visited at the home of the latter's brother, Mr. John Prout, of Exeter. Mrs. McGregor and Mrs. Rennie of London, Miss Alice Dawn of Philadel- phia, Mrs. Rogers and son Jack, of Hamilton, were visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Treble on Friday.

N., Rowe arid. daugh- ter Reta, and Mr. Arta Delvie left on Wednesday morn erg last for a motor trip through the northern counties. They took the Lake road from Bay-) field as far .as Soul6hampltpn; From there they went on, to Marton, coming back along the bay to Owen Sound. They called at Meaford, Col- lingwood, Eugenia Falls, Durham, Han- over, Listowel and other places. They report wonderful scenery and good roads, one. place of. particular interest being Eugenia Falls,,, where power is obtained for lighting most of,. the north ern, towns.. They arrived home Friday afternoon., having. travelled 378 miles.. The only way, to avoid getting warm under -the collar is not wear one. Straws do show which, way 'the wind blows. There's the straw hat for Renting is just as- good as buying if you don't care, how many times over ten pay for a huse.
