DEATH OF AN OLD EXONIAN.

Mr. W. J. Sweetland, of Southernhay, Exeter, died on Monday, after a long illness, at the age of 74. Mr. Sweetland had carried on business, with gardens at Whipton, for just 40 years. His wife and four of his children predeceased him, but he has left one son and seven daughters. In politics, Mr. Sweetland was a Conservative, but he never took a very active part in public affairs. He was a relative of the late Mr. E. J. Sweetland, of the firm of Tozer, Sweetland, and Brodie, newspaper proprietors, of Exeter.
