Relatives here received the sad in-

sudden death of Miss Cora Bawden,
second daughter of the late Thomas
Bawden, *former resident of Exeter,
which sad event took place in London
on the &hove day. For some time
Miss Bawden has been engaged as
nurse at the asylum and while attend-
ing to her duties on Saturday last she
was suddenly seized with a stroke of
paralysis and lapsing into a state of
unconsciousness never rallied. Mise
Bawden was a very prepcpeeeeeing and
amiable young lady who made hoots
of friends both in her calling and other-
wise, and all will be deeply grieved to
learn of her premature and sudden
taking off. She was in ber 21st year.
Her remains passed through here on
Wednesday morning enroute to Clin-
ton where her mother resides.
Death .I J.ka elllett.
This week sees another of our oldest
residents pass over to the silent ma-
ority, in the person of Mr. John El-
i
ott.. of Carling Street, who died on
Sunday last at the great agent 137 years.
For some time Mr. Elliott has been
ttphysicially in a rather feeble condition
but suffering from no particular
disease. simply a loss of vitality and
iuflu nuities incident to old age. On
Thursday last he took his bed and it
Wag plainly manifested that the crisis
was upon hire for he gradually sank
until death claimed hint. Born in
Noithnmisetltnd, England, he came
to Canada when about ten years of
age and settled in Peterborough,
where he remained for some time.
From there he moved to the County of
Oxford. thence to Hrinsley in the town-
ship of McGillivray. About eighteen
years ago the deceased moved with
his family to Exeter where they have
since 'lade their home. Mr. Elliott
wag twice married and leaves to mourn
his death t daughters and one son,
by the first wife, and two daughters
by the second. Mr -s. Elliott also sur-
vives him. Mr. Elliott was a Metho-
dist in religion and a Reformer in poli-
ties. His remains were conveyed by
train Wednesday to the Village of

place,

Board of Trade Meets.
A meeting of the Board of 'Trade
took place in the Heading Room of
the Town 11,511 evening.
Several of the ine►ut,ers were present,
the President, Mi. '1'. B. ()uling, be-
ing in the chair. A 'mintier of matters
were discussed. The station couuntt-
tee was asked to give a report, but as
the work of this committee had not
been completed it was recommended
that it stand as before with a view to
concluding arrangements as early as
possible. The double tracking of the
highways came in for some discussion
and it was finally decided to approach
the Village Council on the subject and
endeavor to secure their aid in bring-
ing
rie -
ing the desirability of double -track-
ing before the township councils and
thus secure their assistance. The
main objects of the meeting were to
bear a report of the committee that
recently drove to St. Marys, and to
discuss a communication from the
Board of Trade of that town, relative
to the Railway Company now seeking
a charter in the House. Mr. L. H.
Dickson reported the doings of the
meeting at St. Marys and also read
the communication, asking that Exe-
ter subscribe some $200 toward the
paying of the necessary expenses of
the Company in securing the charter.
A committee was appointed to inter-
view the Council in this regard. The
Board decided to invite Kirkton and
Crediton to meet with them on Mon-
day evening next, to which time the
meeting was adjourned.
The Mitlineryot Serie*.
Whimsically unturned brims charac-
terize the hats of the motnent, some
of which are unusually attractive.
Hata of the Colonial order remain
favorites because of their general be-
comingnees. The ostrich feather in
its latest guise is manipulated into the
flat shape of a quill and used in quill
fashion to trim the smartest walking
hats. The Spring colors in millinery
are wonderfully attractive. That
brilliant hues will be most favored is
certain. Bright -colored headgear
when worn with a harmonizing cos-
tume is vastly becoming, and the idea
has an economical interest, since one
hat may be male to do duty with sev-
eral costumes. A pinkish mauve,
which in the darker tones is closely
allied to the Burgundy shades, is a
modish spring color. The new pinks
and reds are on the rose and raspberry
shades. There are shown tailor mod-
els in straw that will freshen up the
mldseason's costume or provide the
touch of completion to the new street
suit. Both rough and fine, satiny
straw braids are used to make these
early -season bats, and all the fashion-
able colors are procurable. The Mix-
ed straws are especially pleasing—sev-
eralshades of one color or contrast-
ing colors being blended. Those com-
bining dark blue, green, yellow and
reef in a plaid weave are liked for
youthful wearers. The hats are fash-
ioned in et variety Of shapes. and in
almost every instance the only at,
tempt at trimming is p► shaded quill
with straw how or loops. For the
dressy hat that is to hake the place of
the velvet creation of the Winter,
tulle or lace is used.
Rxcett.st Cersival.
The Carnival, under the combined
auspices of Mr. I'. Bawden rind the
Executive of the Hockey (Sub of 18(X3.
4, held in the rink here on Monday
night last will go on record as the
most elaborate and enjoyable function
of the kind ever held in the town.
Gorgeous costumer*, innumerable re-
presentations, varied characters, ex-
cellent ice and an ideal night for such
an occasion made it a pleasure to he
there. Visitors from llensall, Credi-
ton, Centralia and for miles around
were in attendance and the affair
throughout was a complete success in
every detail. About eight o'clock the
crowd began to arrive. The ladies
taking part come wrappell in cloaks
and hotels and blushing with the ex-
citement of anticipation quickly dis-
appeared into the waiting rein); while
the gentlemen in large numbers oc-
cupied the rooms on the other side.
Casting aside their coverings they
etnerged in bright -hued colors and
soon the excellent sheet of ice blos-
somed out into a swaying n)ils9 of
color and the place became vibrant
with the hung of eonveraatlon, and
the sparkle of silvery laughter as they
i/lided over the tre'aehervnus element
n this exhilarating pastime. Soon t he
band struck up n lively air, then all
were in their glee. About 8,30 the
judges took their places to award the
deserving prizes, and their task was
no easy one, but the decisions met
with general approval. Following
are the prizes awarded and theehatae
ters represented:- Gentleman's char-
acter, Mr. E. W. Horne, "Rudolph";

Saw His Shadow.
The groundhog has had his day. The
weather-wise tell us that on Thursday
last his hogship emerges from his cosy
winter quarters, to make a survey of
the weather and decide whether the
conditions are favorable to his remain-
ing out or going back into his nest
for another snooze. Should be see his
shadow on coining out he returns with
all haste and thereremains for another
six weeks. The day was bright for
the greater part. and the groundhog
would unmistakably see his shadow,
consequently we may expect another
six weeks of winter weather.
