In acknowledgment of thanks sent by the editor of this letter of iis-iour- nal to Mrs. Thomas P. Fletcher, Blackpool, Blackpool, England, for the kindness shown by ladies of that famous seaside pleasure pleasure resort to the boys from Bowmanville Bowmanville while at Salisbury PJaih^and since their removal to France, mention of which has been made more th :n once by Pte. Dan M. Douglass in his letters to Bowmanville friends, Mrs. Fletcher writes a very interesting letter. As it indie tes what English people are doing doing for wounded and other soldiers and gives us some idea of conditions in the Old Land we take the liberty of publishing publishing parts of her letter as follows: We did not think anything about the little we had been able to do for the brave boys who were fighting for us so nobly. He|w very brave t he Canadians Canadians have shown themselves ! England England rang with their fame after that big battle at Ypres when they saved us from a big defeat. Some time ago was in a town 8 miles from here and on a big window they h id a poster - in large type with these words "Canada, we thank you". I think every one said in then - hearts, if not audibly, the same thing. Canadians at home must :'eel very proud of the splendid men you have sent overseas and very sad, ;oo, that so many will never return again to you. At the present we are all feeling very thankful for the advance our | army is making in the west, but oh, at what a terrible cost in loss of- life--it is really awful ! Three homes of our neighbors have # each lost two sons. Many of the men who were training here last winter are reported killed or wounded, too. Blackpool corporation is busy now building a huge convalescent hospital here. A large race course is being used for the purpose. VVe shall be ready for 20 0 so diers in a few days A citizens' committee has been organized organized to arrange the social part of it, building a "hut" which is really a large building to be known as the "welcome hilt" where the men will be able to receive receive their friends and give them tea. Mr. Fletcher, our eldest daughter, Alice Maud, and myself are on this committee, so we are deeply interested in this in-titution. In asho;tfcime we shall be able to accommodate and pro- v.de for from four to five thousand men. A company of gentlemen arAgetting money together to build a large gymnasium gymnasium and theatre to cost 'about £3000 ($15,000). The soldiers will be.able to drill in the building and so get fit for returning again. Blackpool citizens for raising money for any good object are a wonder. During the past seven weeks we have had a Hag day for one fund. Other funds have been raised for the Russians, Serbians, French, Belgians, the lifeboat crew, and our own hospitals Yesterday we had one to provide funds to buy another motor ambulance ready for use when the next lot of wounded soldiers arrive. We have at the present time three branch hosp'tals besides our large general general hospital, and these all now need a great deal of financial support. This year at most of the churches and chapels chapels all the gifts at the harvest festivals have been given to our different hospitals; hospitals; also at the schools they have a day each week when the children may bring gifts for the wounded soldiers, and they get a great many Last week it took five of them to carry the things to one of the places, so you see we are doing what little we can. I hope some of your Canadian boys who may be woundecTwill be sent here. Yesterday when our daughter, Alice Maud, was out collecting she met a Canadian gehtleman who told her he came from Waterloo. Ont. Sorry he did not tell her his name. Ladies do not like to go out much in the evening evening now the dark nights are here. Id seems so very dark, as no lights are to be seen. If anyone shows a light in his shop window he is at once summoned summoned and has to pay very heavily; the police ai e very quickly on to them. This precaution is taken because we are between Barrow and Liverpool. Men are very scarce here and the women are doing men's work; we have had women on our street cars all summer. summer. Did not expect many visitors here this year, but Blackpool has been packed with them during August. A great many who generally go to the East Coast came here and also many who have before gone to the Isle of Man. The east coa^t has been visited so often by Zeppelins and people are afraid to cross the water on account of submarines, so they, have made for here. We have been struck with the number of women who have compared with men. ' It is getting vèi-y quiet now. Next week they are billeting a good many soldiers here for the Winter; they find it such a good plaice for men • to get strong and fit for the work at the front. Every one tries to do their best for the men. - My husband has a nephew who has l een in France since January--a des- f >atch rider. He has been home on > avé aiid brought several things back with him.. He has a pair of gold sleeve links taken from a German officer's cuffs, and they hâve the mailed fist engraved engraved on them.: He will not tell much abbut things out there, says it is too awful to talk about; he wants to forget it while afchome. You will think this letter is all about the war, but one can hardly talk about anything else. Has war made much difference tb you in Canada in price of food? . It has made a big difference to Darlington Official Among recent deaths of well-known and prominent persons who have recently recently passed to their eternal reward is Henry Elliott, Esq., postmaster and met chant, who fell on sleep on Oct. j 15th. in his 81sfc year. He has been ! many years one of the most prominent men, municipally, in West Durham Deceased was born in Fort Hope on April 11th, 1835, and was 1 "• 11th, 1835, and was the eldest son of Henry and Mary Elliott. Henry Elliott, Sr., was born at Eastcot in the parish of Morwenstow, North Cornwall, Cornwall, and on the 4th of May, 1831, sailed sailed from Bideford in the barque Bolina, reaching Bideford, P.E.I., on June 5th. Another voyage of ten or 12 days brot the little barque to Quebec whence, with some 30 other passengers, he came to Kingston by batteaux, and by steamer fc) Port Hope. Some fellow travelers were the late Joseph Adams and Robert Ashton who settled at Columbus, Columbus, Thomas Courtice late of Pickering, Pickering, Richard Score of Toronto, and Rev. Jesse Whitlock, at that time a young boy, the latter remaining at Prh.ee Edward Island Some 8 years were spent in the mil ing business at Port Hope, and one year with Mr. Charles Bowman, whose business was then in charge of the late Senator John Simpson, at Bowmanville. .Mr. Elliott then purchased a property in the centre of Darlington where he built a sawmill and grist mill, and soon adding a store and other enterprises, which he carried on with marked success. success. This settlement was for ten years known as Millville until a post office was opened in Sept. 1851, with Mr. Elliott as postmaster, when the rame was changed to Hampton, In the course of a few years he retired, giving up his business to hissons. The store was first taken over by Henry and James Elliott, but the latter withdrew withdrew later to take up business in Tyrone, Tyrone, leaving Henry Jr. who continued the business up to the time of his death Perhaps no man in the township was better or more widely known. Quiet and reserved as he was he wielded, wielded, during his long life, a marked influence influence in the towi ship and did much to develop -it. His activities were many and varied. As assistant postmaster, postmaster, and on his father's death appointed appointed postmaster, he was in charge of the office, with exception of a short period, from its establishment in 1851 up to the time of his death last week. When the Montreal Telegraph Go's line was opened, he was its first agent continuing with the Great North West ern until its service was withdrawn and replaced by the telephone. In 1853, when the township council began -to meet in Hampton, Henry Elliott sr., was appointed treasurer but the work wasjtlways done by his son Henry whdj on his father's death, succeeded him. As noted in The Statesman two or three years ago, the Treasurer's records since 1853 are all in his handwriting, handwriting, neither illness nor absence re quiring assistance, and his resignation in 1914 accompanied his 61st annual report to Council, a record probably unequalled in this province. come as On resignation of Mr. Rd. Windatt in 1898 Mr. Elliott was appointed Township Township Clerk in hisSstead, adding this to his duties as Treasurer. This was also given up in 1914. 'Th 1870 he was appointed appointed Ooiinty Auditor. In 1860 he was appointed a Commissioner Commissioner in the Court of King's Pench. For years his services were sought as a conveyancer, and few properties in the centre of Darlington had their leases or deeds completed outside his office. He also did an extensive business business for a time in loans and insurance. For a quarter of a century or more he was closely associatvd with the Township and County Agricultural Societies. He was vice president of| the former in 1874, president in 1870 and in 1875, and was director of both for many years. He did much to foster foster horticulture in the township and for years was a consistent exhibitor and prize-winner in the sections of fruits and vegetables. He was also interested interested in the early sixties in the introduction introduction of a better class of fowl, ducks and thorobred hogs, and in this way did much to improve these branch- j es of agriculture and add to the wealth | of the township. In 1886 he exhibited a collection of apples, pears, and other fruits at the Indian and Colonial. Exhibition Exhibition at London, England, for which he was awarded a Bronze Medal and Diploma. His services as a judge were in demand at other county and town- consume is much dearer. Business here is very quiet now; shop-keepers have done well with so many visitors staying here, but other people have been .very quiet. : Mr. Fletcher is kept busy with town affairs, being still on the Council Board, and of course it is expected the | Councillors' wives will taxe active part in so many philanthropic and other enterprises and doings, rather work quietly at home public, you know.

Those who have known him of late years would scarcely, credit him as having been active in military affairs. Yet in the stirring times of the Fenian Ra-ds and the Red River rebellion he played his part in preparing for the defence of Canada against her foes. Amongst his papers has been found a letter from an officer in Port Hope bearing the date 1863: addressed to Captain Elliott stating that he would be m Hampton the following week to Bruce county publishers agreed at a, convention in Goderich recently to raise the annual subscription price of their newspapers from $1.00 to $1.50 owing to the increased cost of production production and the higher prices of all kinds of commodities that a publisher has to buy for office and family use. inspect his company and asking for a ^PjJJ 1YVllot/\Y1 XI r> r, 1 UrtU .. ».*C. ...

Henry Elliott, Esq., Hampton From 1859 he was depositary of the Bible Society, and at time of his death was one of the oldest in Canada. For 35 years (1862--1897) he was a member of the School Board and for 32 years was Secretary-T. easurer. At an early age he became a member of the Bible Christian church," was an ardent advocate of church union, and continued his church affiliation to his death. He was elected Recordi; g Secretary in the B. C. church in 1859 and continued this work in the Methodist Methodist Church to 1914--fifty-five years in all. He was associated with the church choir for about 45 years, and for the greater part of this period was leader. Before the advent of the Methodist Methodist tune book the choir sang entirely entirely from manuscript, books transcribed from various sources and selected by him as suitable for the voices under him and for congregational singing." These MSS. books, now in the possession possession of his family, speak for the time, the patience, and industry he spent upon this work which was to him a great source of pleasure. His music was perhaps his outstanding outstanding recreation. His interest in horticulture horticulture h<is already been spoken of, and his garden was his pride for many years. He was particularly fond of fishing and in his earlier years had brought home fine strings of fish from all the streams with which Darlington Darlington aboupds. But of late years trout have been very scarce, yet " he knew their haunts, and only last May, when past eighty, he took his brother and son out for an afternoon and s ent two hours whipping a rather the speckli over two nours wmpping a rough stream for the speckled beauties and was not unrewarded. His high standing in the community community and the universal confidence placed in him are exemplified in the many positions of trust in which he was p'aced and which he held for so many years. A man of exemplary habits, a staunch temperance advocate from his youth, his life was not marked by illness. About three years ago he fell and fractured his left collar-bone, but in a few days he was again at his work and the bone knitted promptly, yet he suffered from the shook and only this past summer did, he seem to be entirely entirely recovered. Not for years had he appeared:to be in better health than of late, attending regularly to his business business affairs, but on Sunday Oct. 3rd, following a wetting the previous day, .he developed a chill followed by. pneumonia. pneumonia. At the end of a week he had his crisis and seemed to be progressing toward recove' y when complications set in which rendered his condition hopeless, and on Friday morning, Oct. 16tb, he passed to his reward. He was twice married, in 1858 to Nora Grace, daughter of Thomas and Grace Yeo, who died Dec. 27, 1902. In 1906 he married Jane Williams, widow of Robert Clark, who survives him. Two children also survive--Mrs. Chas. J. Kerslake of Hampton, and Dr. J. H. Elliott, physician to St. Michael's Hospital, Toron' o, and Associate Associate in Medicine in the University of Toronto. The funeral on Sunda *y. a wonderful tribute to the Oet. 17, was îe memory of tlie deceased. A suitable service was held in the Methodist Church where he had worshipped since its opening, in the building of which he played an important part, and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. Géo. Brown, with a full choir. The body of the church, the gallery, and stairways were crowded crowded and many could not be admitted. Seldom, if ever, has Darlington seen Rev.

Any one who reads the parts of the letter of Mrs, Fletcher of Blackpool that we publish elsewhere will realize m a measure war conditions in England England andshould be inspired to do whatever^ whatever^ can to help the situation and the dependents of those fi.hting our enemies at the front: Canadians have a J°t t'° do yet to come up to what the people in the motherland are do- We should not be scheming to ease our consciences on how little we can do and give, but rather to strive to give all we can consistently, with family and other demands upon us. When we have done our verv best it will seem insignificant compared with our English cousins. Besides her defence defence of the seas, furnishing millions of men, bearing the heaviest share of furnishing means for field comforts for the soldiers and caring for the wounded, England is bearing the burden, burden, too, of financing the civilized, world. This part of the Dominion has fur. ished a large quota of men and contributed liberally in money and useful articles, but who of us has - gone to the limit in doing or giving? Reader, ask yourself if vou have done your full duty ? such a concourse of people pay their respects to a departed citizen. It was a clear October day, bright and still, the foliage in the glory of autumn tints with the leaves falling gently. As the family and immediate friends entered the cemetery, the pastor reading reading the beautiful burial service, the end of the cortege had barely left the church.
