MAIN STREET S. S 'PICNICc�
A SUCCESS.
Main Street S. S. had a most en-
joyable time at their picnic in Mr.
Hooper's bush on Wednesday after-
noon of last week. The spot chosen
is on the banks of the Aux Sauble
just west of town and proved an ex-
cellent location for an outing of this
kind. There was a large turn -out.
The weather was fine. Races were
held for the scholars followed by a
couple of baIi games. The different
events were keenly contested and all
entered heartily into the spirit of
the occasion. The first ball game was
played between the married men and
the single but the old timers hadn't
a chance with the young men, the
score being 28 to 2. The second game
was between the married women and
the single. While the score in this
game was not quite so one-sided, the
singles won out by a good margin.
Following the sports supper was ser-
ved and a real sociable time enjoyed.
It was one of the best picnics the
school have enjoyed in years.

ATTEMPT, AT ROBBERY
A daring attempt made to secure
$3,000 from Geo. McTaggart's home
at Blyth, following the celebration
there in connection with the laying
of the cornerstone of the Memorial
Hall, was unsuccessful. Following
the big gathering, Mr. McTaggart
took the money home and buried it,
and went out. While he was away
someone . went thru his house thor-
oughly, in search of the money.
Every room was searched, even the
carpets being lifted, but it was not
found. Late in the evening when Mr.
McTaggart's son was coming hone
a burglar in an alleyway near the
house placed a gun at his head and
demanded to know where the money
was. Some of the ltiltie bandsmen,
happened along at the time and the
man made off in a hurry.
FOLLICK—RESTL 1.
Amid a most exquisite profusion
of flowers which decorated the home
( of Mr, and McSt Nelson Kestle on
Monday, their daughter Lulu, was,
united in marriage to Mr. Joseph A.
Follick, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A.
Follick, of town. Rev. J. D. Kestle
performed the ceremony in the pres-
ence of the immediate relatives and
friends of the contracting parties.
The' bride' was dressed in her trav-
elling suit and wore a corsage bou-
quet 'of sweet peas. The ceremony
{{ „was performed in front .of a bank of
I flowers The wedding march was
.played by Miss Trevethick, Following
the ceremony a dainty wedding lun-
cheon was served. The bride was the
recipient of many beautiful presents.
The groom's gift to the bride was a
!pearl sunburst and to the pianist a
cameo pin. Mr. and Mr.s Follick mo-
tored to London where they took the
train for Hamilton where they will
-reside. Both bride and groom have
a host of friends in town whose
best wishes will follow them.
BOILER DAMAGED
The boiler of the cement mixer
that is being used in connection with
the laying of the cement road north
of the bridge was put out of order
IIon Monday morning when Thomas
• Clarke, a young man " of Exeter
North, started a fire under the boiI-
er aired let the water out. The fire
was started around five o'clock in
the morning and about a wheelbar-
row load of coal ,was consumed.
When the boiler had cooled down
sufficiently to test it,- it was found
to be considerably damaged. The
young man was arranged before
Magistrates Taylor and Beavers on
Monday morning and stated that he
wanted to help the men. out' by hav-
ing a fire already for them to go
to work at seven o'clock. He was
committed for trial at Goderich and
was taken there on Monday evening.
The mental faculty of the young
man has been questioned for some
time. The boiler was removed from
the grader at the station and attach-
ed to the cement mixer and work has
been resumed onthe road.
REPORT OF W.C.T.L'.
The regular monthly meeting of.
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, was Held in the Public Lib
rary on July 27th. The most impor-
tant part of the meeting being the
report of the delegate to the County
Convention, Miss Gregory, who gave
an interesting and full report and
those who listened to the very able
manner in which she gave it, felt it
was almost as helpful as if they had
been privileged to attend the
Convention. The resolutions brought
in at the Convention by the Resolu-
tion. Committee might be of interest,
to readers in which was stressed the
importance of early moral training
by ,parents; The necessity of our wo-
men giving all the help possible for
law enforcement; The assistance our
women must give in the coming Ref-
erendum campaign; The obligation
of Sunday schools, Junior Epworth
Leagues and, Mission Bands in in-
structing the youth in Temperance
principles; and the advisibility of
having Tefl perance and Hygiene on
examinationsubject with all classes
to the end of the second year in
High School and in the Normal
schools,

We have heard of nothing being
done in the !natter of raising the
$4,000 by subscription or otherwise
asked by the Exeter council by the
people interested in the construc-
tion of a concrete road on Welling-
ton street to the G.T.R. depot. Mr.
Hollingsworth will soon have the
Main street pavement completed and
will be moving away. It is an oppor-
tune time to have Wellington street
paved as when Mr. Hollingsworth
moves away it will hard to get either
him or any other contractor to come
in and do that amount of work ex-
cept at a much higher price. If any-
thing is to be done is it not time
some of the citizens interested nia.de
a move in the matter as' unless
$4,000 is raised the council will take
no action in the matter even though
the ratepayers carry the by-law to
raise $8,000 to help with the work.
Time passes very quickly.

FIS1flDWS;,GLENN BOYS' CA1JP, '4.1
The following interesting account
of the outing at Fisher's Glenn wad.
written at our request by Stuart;
Stanbury and will be of interest to:
our readers.
I have been asked by the editQii
to give a short account of our staff
at the Y.M.C.A, Camp, on Lake Erie:
It was certainly a most ideal spot
for an enoampinent of boys. The
tents were pitched on a high chili
one hundred and fifty feet up from
the beach. A narrow winding patilj
led down to the shore and we weriti
obliged to descend and ascend eaehr
morning for "washing up." There(
we.:; twenty ..., ,..L ,.l. is in all witl'
from seven to ten fellows in each:
and in every tent there, was an older;
boy as leader. A flight of seventy
five steps led down the slope towarcie,
the summer cottages, dining -hall',,
etc., These were climbed ninny times:
a day which proved a great appete
ite producer as well as a lung deveI.
oper. On the slope was the Red Cross(
tent with a hospital staff consisting
of Dr. Wallace, of Londoh, and Missc
Most, of Woodstock. Farther down'
the gradual slope terminating in the
beautiful deep glen were the cottages
occupied by the various member of,
the camp staff. To the west of these{
were the dining -hall and cook house.
The'former was large, easily seating
over two hundred. The cook house
was manned by two women cooks
and an old army cook. A narrow.
tt 1?3jdge of Fustic carpentry led fro
the dining -hall tb the suinin.er ).i t '
and tennis court on the farther side:
Sixty feet below a rapid current
of pure spring water babbled on its
way thru the dense verdure of the
glen. Here was the beauty spot? toy
the camp. Evergreens leaned .far over,
the stream and cast their reflections;
on its crystal waters. Giant ostrich
ferns mingled in great profusion
with the grasses and the Wild fro
ers. Here and there a beam of Stine
shine would filter thru the dense
foliage of the trees and tint the care
pet of green with splashes of gold.
Now for the daily routine. Everyii
morning we were awakened at 6.30
by the "reveille" and were given 20
minutes to dress and get our wash
at the lake. At 6.30 "fall in" was
sounded and we reported for 'our,
morning physical exercise. Next came
morning devotions and the hoisting
of the flag. After breakfast, tivhic1i
usually consisted of porridge and
milk and' coffee, eggs and marma-
lade, off we went to our tent
for housekeeping. The "Fall in" was
sounded again at 9.30, when address-
es were usually given on astronomy,
nature study, wood craft, etc., till
ten o'clock. Their came an outing
with Mr. Hart, the Camp Botanist,
Mr. Saunders and Mr. Hobson., the
Ornithologists. The morning swim.
came next during which time a life
boat was always kept off shore. For
dinner we had a variety of foods and
of good quality. Alter a rest period
of half an hour, group games, pikes,
and paper chases were held. At four
o'clock swimming was again indul-
ged in under the leadership of Mr.
Reid, swimming instructor. Then
came supper, a meal always looked
forward to, for at the end of this
meal the camp paper was read, with
its editorials, poems, essays, jokes
and sports report. After supper were
the camp ball games, and the camp
fire, the event of the evening. Here
we listened to speakers of great elo-
quence in addresses of intense hu-
man interest. At the end of the day,
were the evening devotions after
which we retired to our tents and.
were supposed to sleep. By doing our
turn at kitchen fatigue, and other,
duties and attending every lecture
hike or game, arranged for our bene-
fit and entering heartily into the
spirit of the camp, we had a very en-
joyable as well as profitable holiday,
and as we grow up we shall remetn
ber with a trill of pleasure the time
we sat "Round the old Camp Fire"
at Fisher's Glenn.
