Th' discussion wuz long an' gentle

held here today and tomorrow.
Mr. J. G. Stanbury attended the
funeral of the late Mrs. Thos. Seldon
at Ingersoll on Tuesday.
Sarnia 'Canadian -Donald MacGre-
gor had visited us- over a year since
and the mention of his name brought
out many of his old friends who de-
clared they spent one of the most en-
joyable evenings of their lives. Mr.
MacGregor easily takes the front
rank as the finest baritone in Can-
ada, being gifted with a pleasing
presence and a voice powerful, yet
Mr. Follick had been in good health
up to the hour of his death and his
suddenly passing away carne as a
shock to his family and friends.
When he was in the act of starling
the fire he dropped dead, his death
being attributed to heart failure. lle
was possessed of many good qualities
and in religion was a Methodist. Ile
leaves to mourn their loss two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Wm. Vale, of Exeter North
Mrs. David Dew. of Ilensall. His
wife predeceased him solus three
years ago. The funeral was held last
Thamtsday, internment being in the
sweet, comprehensive in its ranged al'ansville cemetery.
and clear in its enunciation. Witt>f Dr. sillery has moved into the dwel-
these gifts it was not a difficult task ling recently occupied by Mr. 91. .Ar -
for Mr. MacGregor to capture as
critical an audience as the one which
greeted him in a very few moments.
The Y. M. C. A. have been allowed
the use of the school grounds until
the next regular meeting of the
Board. The boys havo been showing
great interest in -football so far this
spring and there is evidence of a good
team being picked out. At the Mon-
day .meeting of the Y. TIL C. A. Mr.
Bruce Anderson was appointed field
manager. On Friday evening a
special meeting is being celled for
on the school grounds at eight o'clock
to choose sides for conducting of
games and sports for the summer.
In all probability the bible study
course will he discpntinued during
the summer months in the Y. M. C.

the out door exercises.

e Carl Suit You
To the Editor of the Exeter Time..
I have been looking for great
things since rending the Ie:tei
your paper written by "Energetic.",
but possibly it requires :a magnifying
gloss to see time first move. Who is
this expert` If the Exeter council
thought him capable of advising us
on the water question. Surely they
will not slop at that : lo' will have to
be paid for his work so far. but it
looks to the ns though they `wanted
hien to give n different report.
Now. Exeter is ready for a water
works system and why cannot we
look nhead for a few y,•:ars and not
first work nlong year by year with
brat t'y expenditure and little to show
for it. A greater expenditure for
one year will rave in years to come.
Imagine ti village like Exeter pay-
ing over $1.300 for lighting, yearly.
Of course the nre liable on the main
street nre really seces'ary and if we
had the 2000 c. p. given its accord-
ing to ngreenmenf. we would not re-
quire those twnv caudle. on the side
slre,•ts that are costing us twice
what they ; !mold.
I tell yon e:eetrie lir:Wing in Exe-
ter is a sure gold mine. nt least it
stwnllows up the poop:09 money just
as fast.
i will give you some of the benefits
derived if the town would take hold
of this tenter question. in 1h•• first
piney by putting up the mil: -dam it
would Olson. 115 first-class water pro-
tection and lowering the insurane
rotes from $2,000 to $3,000 per yesi
th.•11 the ire rupply would mean no
smnll revenu,•. led last but not least
boa Oita and :a ;turning. \Ve should
Iny out a 1111:, money for plenYnre.
and not alt, ay, ,lying to :•lke .(Je
nlntigh(v dollar.
And. I would runrantee that Exe-
ter w•o1,111 1101 be merely laying out
money. but it would he th•• host la-
ves(meal we hare ever mad,. and in
f-%•• years w0,1111 not accept twice
‘t hot it cost.
1 think it is the eonneil'a Once to
mak • the first move and as we ap-
reinl them to look after oar inter-
ests let them anken up and Ret busy.
