Through the practical sympathy of Editor Frank Macintyre of the DundaUc Herald and Gordon Craig of the Markdale Standard, which has been so vividly demonstrated to MVs. Thurston and myself this week, and the assistance of Rev. A. G. Macpherson and others in pre- paring copy, the editor of this paper is enabled to publish The Advance this Friday afternoon. Taking ad- vice of friends we are closing the papei for the next two weeks and might take a short trip, but not the holiday we had been planning for some time. Mrs. Thurston, myself and fam- iy have been overwhelmed with the great kindness of friends from the village and surrounding country who visited us in our home and raised our spirits wtth their kind expressions of sympathy. We meei. them evei-y day in our business life and on the streets and take their friendship forgranted as an every- day occurrence, but in our hour of trial with words and deeds, those friendships are brought home .rith greater vividness and they are doubly valued. The floral offerings were beautiful and the thoughts of s\Tiipathy expressed in their pres- ence were of great help to us. These acts of kindness of friends have been amply demonstrated in past years to many families in this district who have lost loved ones in tnagic circumsCances, or in losses in other ways, and the gratitude of the recipients cannot be expressed in mere words.
