TWO DEATHS IN FtIMILY
INSIDE''' OF A W EK
1Vrr• T. R. Ferguson will have the
sympathy
oP his
many friends in Ex -
I eter. Last '•week he"was called to
his home in Teeswater, owing to the
illness and subsequent death of his
mother, who died on Monday, the
funeral' being held on Wednesday.
On Tuesday of this week he received
the sad news that his brother Dr.

ATTEMPTS TO WRECK MACHINE
What seems to be some mean spite
woi;k that would react very severely
upon the perpetrators if found oat,
bas taken place in Usborne Tp. dur-
ing the threshing season. At one
place where Mr.Chester„Gorvett was
threshing, half of a horse shoe was
discovered in a sheaf of grain and
luckily was found 'before it went
through the separator. A short time
atter on another,;1�farm another part
of a horse shoe Was discovered under
similar circumstances. While thresh-
ing at . another place a piece of
sulky rake tooth got by the threshers
and broke the concave. For three
years ins succession in the same neigh-
borhood Mr. Gorvett has had his
machine broken in a similar manner.
SUCCESSFUL ANNIVERSARY
The anniversary services of Caven
Presbyterian Church held on Sunday
were a decided success. Large' con -,I
gregations were present; both morn-
ing and evening. The speaker for
the day was Rev. J. E. Hogg, B.A., of
Clinton, who delivered two very ex-
cellen.t and inspiring: sermon:a~ The
morning service was held in Caveri.
Church and in the evening the ser-
vice was held in the Trivitt: Memorial
church, this large auditorium being
comfortably filled for: the occasion.
The speaker took for his text "The
Divine Mission of Our Lord,” In.
developing his theme the speaker
emphasized the fact that Christ had
given three instruments for carrying
out his mission, the Holy Catholic-
Church, a universal Gospel, • and a
ubiquitirous spirit. The choir furn
idled some excellent music through-
out the day and were ably assisted
by several from the other choirs of
town. Very liberal offerings were
received at both services.
