A field card has just been received from Pte Wm K Howard, dated Oc- tober 21, 1918, stating that he is quite well, Appreciated Pittsburg Sunday Leader says of Miss Kate Allison ina write up de- scribing the 'recent work of fighting the influenza epidemic: . "When I asked Miss Catharine H Allison, whe is head nurse at Camp Lee, if she could give any story. of special interest concerning an par- ticular nurse she said: Every one of them is worth a special story and every one of them is just splendid. "Miss Allison 1s a Canadian but for a long time was in charge of the hos- ital at Proctor, Vt., before coming to amp Lee" There were 12,000 cases. of the influenza edidemic at this. camp of . which 669 only proved fatal; Three hundred and seven nurses did the work, six of them sacrificing their dives in the performance of "their duties. Miss Allison is the daughter of Mr and Mrs, S, E.

The suggestion is that a permanent committee be form- ed whose business it will be to see that our soldiers are accorded a fitting welcome upon their return home. The men will come home "by ones and twos, and there is dange: that may meet with what may seem like | neglect if the matter of their welcome is left t6 nobody in parriculac-- "What is. everybody's business is nobody's business. A suggestion might be made as to the composition of that committee. It has become customary to name a cer- tain few individuals for almost all these duties of a public nature, In- deed this has become habitual. But the habit is not a good one." It is not always possible even for a "leading * citizen" to be able to drop his duties and his interests at a moment's notice © to perform some duty which the puf- _ lic thinks he should perform. Nor 'are e. Rood" fo confined to K citizens." The rank and file ¢ have willing hands and lov- hearts, and they have the happy y.of going to work if need be. So \ committee is formed, it shoald have among its members 'men and women who are rightfully said to 'ba prominent and men and. women ¥ "who have not taken a very prominent( 'part in our towh affairs.

Smith aoquts ed this piece of canine property from T. Stewart. He "went with the wagon" in a very literal sense. No matter how often the delivery business changed hands, he "went with the wagon," and so for some years Deacon has made his home with W B Cam bell, and there he passed peacenlly away on Monday. Deacon was true to the wagon .as long as it behaved itself and stayed in town, but if it strayed beyond the limits, he would sit down and await its return, or if that took to long;"he would turn round and go home. In his palmy days, Deacon was the champion scrappet:. The daily battle fof supremacy was part of the zest. of life. Indeed there have been "times fore theRdvent of the. automobile, when that 'dog fight was about the only excitement we rould raise, But of late years Deacon has been very civil to newcomers, and has been content with the laurels he had already won. The fact- was, Deacon was getting old. And so Deacon is dead. : i Methodist Church On Sunday - "morning next at the Mejeodist Church; The Sacraments of the Lord's Supper will be observed.
