Bob went overseas with the 147th Battalion but did not get to the front. Un- â-  ortuuately Bob had an accident in Knglaud some time ago that prevented him going to the front and so has been forced to return, j jV striking piece of evidence .as to the vehemence of the big- storm of Saturday and i^unday lies in the fact that John' Irwin of Heathcote had two horses smothered to death on Saturday by the fierce wind while attempting to drive to Thornbury, and Mr. Irwin hitnself had his hands, face and feet severely frozen. The horses were sim-)ly choked to death by the wind. | A colored troupe gave a conceit in the high school one evening last week under the auspices of the Khaki Club. The entertainment was of the usuil "jubilee' variety. The turnout was Kr'/e, gross receipts amounting to about 970. The troupe got 50 per cent . of this and the high school board charged fifteen dollars for the use of tlie hal', so that net results for the Khaki Club did not reach abnot- mal proportions. ' Mis.

Clinton of Montmartre, Sask., who came down to visit friends friends here a couple weeks ago, was suddenly called home this week by a message sUting that Mr. Clinl;on was ill with pneumonia, and left o" Wednesday without completing her visit. Editor Advance : We looked very hard last week in the Markdale Standard for the report of the Owen Soundâ€" Mark- dale hockey match, but^it was impossible tofiud it. How was that ; You know Markdale was trimmed 12 to ^ by the boys of the County town. Maybe this was why : We thought Markdale were sports enough to report every match whether they were beaten or not,â€" Sport The Durham Chronicle grows indignant over the cancellation of the Walkertou afternoon trains over that line and we cannot blame it. The action puts one back to mediaeval times before even a stage ran. The country between herg and Durham is actually more poorly served now than it was before the Walkerton Hue was built. Just to give a faint idea of how Bre'er Irwin feels about it we quote : " The very least: that should be done is to have the morning train carry mail, so that matter postad at Durham postoffice could get to Priceville, ten miles distant, without going through half the province. There have doubtless been a lot of fool orders issued by the Postoffice Department, but this one cancelling the mail service on the afternoon train without replacing it on the one going out in the morning is about the worst we have ever heard of. Durham, and for that matter every town on this branch, is entitled to one mail a day each way ou the C. P. R. and if we don't get it somebody is going to hea^ about it.' A Real Blizzard Hits Old Ontario A genuine llizz.ird of the western variety arrived here f'riday evening and blew a hurricane all day b.iturday and Sund:iy- The air was dense with tine Hying snow, and to cap it all the ther. mometer dropped to 30 below zero on Saturday night. Sunday the temperature was not quite so low but with the high wind It WIS low enough and caused everybody to hug the stoves. The roads were oblitered on Saturdiy and at time of writing, Monday evening, hive not been opened up. All afternoon trains were csiicelled Saturday and no trains have as yet got through. A large num- ber of people have boon snowbcund by the storm and unable to get home. .Among those from this vicinity who were thus caught were Messrs .-Vudrew and 'rhom.is Gilchrist, Richard and Tho.nas Bentham, and Mrs. \V. Wilcock attended the funeral »f ''.heir aunt, Mrs. Alex. Weir, at Singhamptou on Friday. Mr. ticorge Cairns was also of the parly, and none liiive arrived home at time of writing. One citizen was caught in Maikdale and "hoofed'' it homo Sunday suffering sonio frastbitos on the journey. The churches also sutl'ered ii>. attendance on Sunday, not a countryman tini.'.ing it possible to ^el iu to service. In fact a good many villagers found it impossible to be present '. The schools on Mondny also sutlered in attend) nco and nvst of the country schools were closed. The storm goes "H record as the worst the oldest inhabitant ha-t ever seen here.

R. McKeuzie has received the following interesting letter from Pte. Lewis Brothwol), dated Dec. II : My Dear Friend,â€" Your letter was a very pleasant surprise to me. I often think of the day we bade our friends goodnye at Flesherton Station. Some of the boys have paid the supreme price since then. That little word "goodbye ' means so much at times. Tou seem to think I am In England. I am not, I came over to France last February, so you see I will soon be a year here. During that tme I have seen a good bit of France and some of Bel- gium. Yes. I will be able to tall you some tall stories if I am lucky enough to return. You know it is a little hard to write an interesting letter from here, a^ it is contrary to rule.s to tell anything of military importance. We are having cold, wet weather here at present. We don t get muck snow here but the mud is tierce. Won't it be a grand thing when this cruel war is over ? We can't see the end as yet, but wo believe our cause is a just one and that out of it all wtill be born a better world. Therefore we must carry on until right not might, shall reign. How are ah the people in your neigh- borhood .' I often wish I was back in the little shop with T. J. Fisher. Bui it takes an experience like this to make some of us appreciate a good home, I suppose you will be having an election this year. I wish you e/ery success if you are in the field.
