The officers and members of the
Exeter Lodge, No. 6T, I.O.O.F., gath-
ered at the cemetery in large num-
bers with hundreds of friends on
Sunday afternoon in commemoration
of Decoration Day. In every sense it
was a beautiful Memorial Service.
Each grave of the 37 departed broth-
er Oddfellows was decorated with a
good sized Union Jack and a nice
potted geranium was lovingly placed
upon the grave.' The ceremony of
decoration was in charge of Bro. E,
A. Howald, as marshall, who also
acted as secretary in the absence of
Bro. R. N. Creech. Bro. Howald was
assisted by Noble Grand, Thos. Pryde
and Chaplin Rev. Jas. Foote.
Special attention was given in the
ceremony to the white Cross that
stands as a memorial to Pte. Sydney
West, whose body rests beneath the
poppies of Flanders.
The Memorial Address was given
by Bro. Rev. W. E. Donnelly, pastor
of James St. Church, who chose for
his text, Prov. 10-7. "The. memory
of the just is blessed." The address
substantially was as follows:
"We are standing to -day in the
silent city of the dead. We mark the
lapseeof time by the vanishing of
faces dear, and the hush of familiar
voices. We peer into the deep shad-
ow and we do not see; we listen in
the infinite silence and there is no
sound; but the cable of human hope
,stretches from shore to shore.
After the sun has set behind the
hills, and shadows gather on the
plans, there is a wondrou glow of
light that breaks upon ithe far
heights. The departing day is trans-
figured into glorious color. Thus
when a noble life departs we look.
upward and see blended in beautiful
memories of splendid promise of life
immortal for our beloved dead.
What is it that is blessed in the
memory of the just? That they cov-
eted not ease, but deliberately chose
the steep and rugged path where
duty led the way, is blessed. That
they were men of faith who could
not be swerved from the King's
highway, is a blessed memory. That
they had rooted and grounded in
them the attributes of truth, that
they lived lives above reproach, that
their hands were clean from . the
stain of gold, and that their barks
floated on the deep seas of virtue
and honesty that stretch out towards
a just and righteous God, is a prec-
ious memory. That their citizenship
was not only a privilege but a sacred
trust is a glorious memory.
There is an old saying, that shrouds
have no .pockets. But we have every
right to challenge the statement.
God permits us to carry some things
into the next world. True, we must
go empty handed to our caskets, but
we need not stand as paupers before
our God. We can carry a beautiful
character beyond. We can transport
a winsome disposition there. We
take along the respectand hon-
our of our friends. We may keep
the ardent love of our life compan-
ions. We may tuck away in the re-
cesses of our shroud our triumphant
faith in God. The marble monu-
ment may crumble into dust, but the
influence of a noble life will contin-
ue like the waves of the mighty
ocean until they • break upon the
other shore.
But to obtain such a heritage of
character as will make memory
blessed, we must put something into

Thus we shall not only hold sacred

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL
The strawberry festival in connec-
tion with Main St. Methodist church
len Thursday night last was a most
pleasing event, both from the stand-
point of what was there to eat and
drink, and entertainment. There
was an abundance of strawberries
and good things to eat and after this
feature was dispensed with a pro-
gram was rendered. Rev, Mr, Clys-
dale,pastor, acted as chairman and
also sang two very pleasing and well
rendered solos. The community sing-
ing was well received as was also the
solos sung by Mr. Maurice Ford.
Rev. Mr. Donnelly delivered a very
interesting and humorous address
that delighted the gathering very
much. There were other very pleas-
ing features of the program, which
space will not permit of mention.
The Russell orchestra furnished the
music and acquitted themselves ad-
mirably, their selections being a
treat to all. The proceeds amount-
ed to $130.
SIMPSON—HASTINGS
A happy June event took place at
St. Andrew's manse on Saturday,
June 21, when Lula Zena Hastings,
only daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. A. Hastings, of Exeter, be-
came the bride of Andrew Calvin
Simpson, of this city. Rev Mac-
Gregor officiated. Mr. and Mrs.
Simpson will reside in Loudon.
A NARROW SHAVE
What might have resulted •in a
terrific explosion accompanied by
loss of life and property, happened
at Messrs. Pollen & Foote's garage
on Monday morning last. Mr. Cecil
Ford had galled at the. garage to
have his truck tank filled with gaso-
line and while it was being drained
from the large tank -to the lesser one,
Cecil lit a match .to start a cigarette,
when •the flame ignited the gas at.
the end of he hose. Flames shot in
all directions and everything looked
serious. A number of men happened
to be standing close by at the time
and at once began to fight the blaze
and by the aid of a chemical fire ex-
tinguishing outfit, they succeeded in
subduing the flames. Had the flow
of gasoline been stopped and the
pipe empty, there is no telling what
the resultmight have been, as
doubtless the fire would have follow-
ed down the pipe and into the• tank
containing .a Hundred gallons of gas-
oline. 'Luckily little or no damage
was done.

large score, and by so doing, put

RACE HORSES IN LAW SUIT
Considerable interest has been a-
roused in this locality over the legal
action takes by William Richardson,
of Simcoe, .formerly of Stratford,
against Thomas Yearly, of Stephen
'Township, the weliknown race horse
fancier. The trial- took place at Sim-
coe on Thursday last and was tried
by Judge Boles, of Norfolk County,
without a 'jury. Richmond is a train-
er and racer, who es widely known
in Western Ontario. In 11519, Yearly
gave him four horses to train: Teddy
"1 Gratton, -Lee Gratton, Teddy, 3ar and
Queenie Smith, all good prospects.
The first two were sold by- Yearly
subsequently for $1000 apiece, al-
though picked up by him for $200
and $150 respectively. Richardson
set up :a claim for half of the money,
alleging that he was to have a half
interest in these two. horses. At the
trial he had difficulty, in explaining
how it was that he claimed an inter-
est in these and not in the others.
which had not turned out so well.
:\Judgement was given in favor of
Yearly and his friend% are congratu-
4 lating him on'the result of the trial.
