Personally the editor is a mere onlooker. viewing with interest, the play as it deveIOps. REV. MR. BOONE. of London, son- in-law of Mr. and Mrs. McDougall, of this town. has received a call to the Baptist church at Leamington. The charge was a good one twenty years ago. and if the Baptist church has progressed as rapidly as the town during the past quarter of a century. Mr. Boone’s positiOu will certainly be of no mean order. Since the forego- in was in type. we learn that Mr. Boone has accepted the call. A VERY interesting letter from Dave Davis. in South Africa. to Tom Blair, of Glenelg, appears in this is? sue. Last week we had a letter he wrote to his sister, and if it wouldn’t be any harm we might just hint that Dave writes a better letter to Tom than he does to his sister. If we could get hold of the letters he writes to somebody else’s sister we know they’d be good readable literature. We are glad to hear the cheerful ac- count he gives of his experience, and we know his friends will read every word with interest. ARE you wearing the Peel shoe. ON Wednesday afternoon of last week the news spread rapidly that Mr. Lyman Caldwell had been chosen to go to South Africa and that he in- tended to set out next morning. A1 little send-03 was given him in the Hall at night. the band being in at- tendance. On Thursday morning he left the station here carrying with him the good wishes of his many friends. He is only about 19 years of age. and has had considerable mili- tary training in C School. Toronto. Somehow. we hope to see the difficul- ties settled before he reaches the seat of war. ___â€"Â¥ and relict of the late Jas. Davidson. For a few weeks past she was not [ruling well. but the end was hasten- ed by a paralytic stroke, which cans- ed partial paralysis and gave grave fears of her recovery. This was followed by a second stroke about Saturday, by which the poor woman was completely paralysed, and from that time no hapes were entertained. The deceased was forty-four years of -l -L..-‘ ‘ ”U “UWWV“ iv v- age, and leaves a family of three daughters to mourn her sudden tak- ing ofi.

Mr. .‘chachern has evidently gone thoroughly into the work, and yet; he finds no irregu- larity according to our way of thinking. MR. WASH. G. COLLINS, of Toronto. Organizer for the Canadian Order of Chosen Friends, is spending a week or two in town in the interest of the Society. Five years ago he made his first appearance here, and contrary to the expectations of all he organized the lodge with a fairly good member- ship. We have no doubt his presence on this occasion will result in quite an addition to the membership. A DESPATCH from Hutton Hill says: “ Mr. D. A. Dunsmoor of this place left last Tuesday for Owen Sound to call on friends and relatives, He leaves on the Arthabasca Thursday for Fort William to take up his old position as brakeman on the C. P. R. He says this climate doesn’t agree with him. We wish him much suc- cess but we don’t like to see him go- ing alone.” THE Council did a very sensibly‘ thing on Monday night when thee decided to compromise the matter in diSpute with Mr. Conery over the granolithic sidewalks. Conery’s to- tal claim of about $390 was settled for 3150. Whether the payment was a just one or not, to settle it as the Council did was cheaper than going to law. The unfortunate litigation of the pasc should be a warning to this and future councils to watch how they’re going and not to be reck- less with the public funds. WE were more than surprised just aswe were getting ready to go to press to learn of the death of Mr.’ Thomas Willoughby which occurred unexpectedly after a few days illness on Tuesday night about 11 o’clock. Deceased was 78 years of age, a na- tive of Wicklow. Ireland, an Episcoo palean in religion, a Conaervatiye in politics and an ardent admirer of the principles of Orangeism. For many ham. He leaves a widow and seven children. four sons and three daugh- ters. Interment takes place this, Thursday, afternoon at two o'clock to Trinity Church Cemetery. London.
