Birds Flew Down Stovepipe Arthur Robinson of Glenelg was in the office the other day and left the body of a small Mrd, which with an- other, flew down the chimney of hie home, on down through the stove- pipes and into the top part of his kitchen stove. They made quite a racket, and in getting them out he had to kill the pair. Examining them, he discovered a band on one bird's leg, which we are sending to the Audubon Society in Washington to try and identify the band and who placed it on the bird's leg. The bird was banded probably in the south. While not a bird expert, we believe it was a chimney swift. â€" The Durham Chronicle. AUCTION SALE HOUSE FURNISHINGS, ETC.

TERMS CASH Sale at 2 pm. sharp. â€" Auctioneer, Wm. Kaitting, LETTER FROM ITALY The following letter was received by the Stephen's Corners War Work- ers from Pte. Ken Londry, who is with the Canadian Army in Italy: I'm very sorry indeed that I just can't seem to get round to writing to you people as often as I shouki and thanking you for your generous supply of smokes, parcels, and choc- olates which you send to us chaps over here. I have received numerous parcels of 'sig»s" from you people since Christmas and in the last mail receiv- ed '^our lovely box of chocolates. We almost have to hid* to eat chocolates, as the children never tasted candy until the allies arrived. It is quite true that civilians aren't allowed in- the unit lines, but those youngsters watch for mail coming just as M'uch as we do, and I can as- sure you no sentry can keep them out if they figure there Is any ,hoc- olate floating around. Perhaps you think they don't know words how to ask for it. Well they sure weren't long picking up E;r.glii=h words especially pertaining to some- thing to eat. This is a grand country, but a per- son couldn't believe just how ancient and backward they are in comiparison to our ways and customs of living. Each farmer only appears to hawe aibout four cows, a few sheep, goats, chickens and hogs. There are no fences and all the women and child- ren herd the goats, sheep and pigs together and at night they drive them home. The animals live in one room and the natives in another. Sanitation doesn't seem to exist in their vocab- ulary here The women work equally as hard as the men, if not harder. It certainly looked funny to see the women and even young girls carrying huge jugs of water on their heads and swing- ing both arms like a soldier on parade, when we first came over here seven months ago. Would like to try and paint more of picture of this place into a Jetter, but time space and the censor w«n't allow such. Thanking you, I remain. Ken.

Golf Passes Following an illness of a little more than a month the death occurr ed at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon at his home in Clarksburg of Rev, F. D. Goff, one of the best known and greatly beloved ministers of the gos- pel in this district. He was taken ill with pneumonia, and appeared to be making- a good recovery, but suffered a rela^jse, and death came to him quietly and peacefully on Friday of last week. Rev. Mr. Goff was a dynamic and inspiring preacher of the gospel, and his Taibemacle in Clarksburg was usually well filled for the services. He was of the evangelistic type of preacher and carried on his work in Clarksburg independent of any par- ticular religious denomination for the past 13 years. His name was a household one throughout the entire district, and he will long be remem^ bered for his great work among the people. In the summer month.s it was his practice for many years to hold a series of tent meetings, when preachers from distant points were often brought in to assist him, and these meetings were very popular and a great amount of good was done. Farmers and others were in the halbit of coming from long dis- tances to attend these t^t meetings, especially on Sundays, when there were almost capacity crowds. Rev. Mr. Goff .vill be greatly missed in the Clarksburg community and the sympathy of everyone will be ex- tended to the members of his faijiily. He was born 71 years ago at Sand Bay, near Gananoque, where he re- ceived his early education, and while a young man entered the ministry, and two years after being ordained came to Clarksburg, where he es- tablished his work, which he had carried on so successfully ever since. His wife predeceased him three years His wife, who was Louise Arm- strong, predeceased him three years ago and he is survived by three sons. Rev. Reginald Goff, Worland, Wyoming, U. S.
