As there has been an organized and united effort to secure re- cruits of able bodied men to do service in the trenches there is a similar necessity to secure r!- cruits for farming Operations. to supply food to those who fight. Men who are not physically fit for trench life can render good ser- vice on the farm.

Mr. Black has been in business here since early in 1897 and since then has been a promin- ent man in the community and is well-known to everybody in the adjacent and adjoining townships. He has been an active business man and though interested in hardware. he found time to work up the horse fair business in Durham. from which thousands of dollars found there way into the pockets of the farmers in ex- change for their surplus stock of horses. He was, and is still a great lover of horses, and where- ever a bunch of horses is to be found, Mr. Black will not be far away. For the past couple of years his health has not been good, and we presume the change is made to reduce his business cares and business activ- ities. We have no idea of Mr. Black’s intentions, but feel quite sure he will never remain idle. His successor, Mr. Mcln tyre is a young man of considerable experv ience in the hardware business, end being of a genial disposition we have no doubt he will capture a fair share of the trade.

Excellent songs were also rendered by Miss Rogers of H01- stein, Miss Blyth of Varney, Miss Kerr of Varney and Rev. Mr. Moy- er of Durham.

Before sever- ing connection with the Canadian Oil 00., he and a fellow employee were‘called into the office and in presence of the office staff were each presented with handsome wrist watches, suitably inscribed. It was a genuine surprise, as the former has been in the employ of the‘ company for only a few months. Mr. Innes, the foreman of the staff, made the presentation in most felicitous terms. It may be many a long day before the fam- ily group Will all gather again at the old fire side. When one is away in the depths .of a swamp it seems a perefati haven during the furies of a March storm. We have just had the brief word that Mr. Maurice Connor and his sister lost their home by fire about 2 o’clock on Sunday morn- ing. A wild storm was raging and they were iust awakened in time to escape in their night attire. nothing being saved. It is a most unfortunate occurrence and aside circle of neighbors feel deeply sympathetic. Mrs. W. L Falkingham and son, L0,, of Orchard, visited the Week end among old neighbors. Mr. Fal- kingham took the services in Zion on Sunday afternoon and gave a very earnest and feeling discourse. Rev. Mr. Moyer was conducting anniversary services at Conn and Cedarville. Messrs.

On returning from Durham after delivering a load of logs one day last week, Mr. Will Timmins lost one. of his horses, dropping dead from heart failure. ’Tis a common sight around here lately to see fellows hanging on to posts, shade trees and snake fences: not because of delirium tremens, but because they have a cough convulsion occusiuned by la gri'ppe. The call for men and more men is still going on from every re- cruiting station. and still the call is being answered by volunteers from all parts of the Dominion. On Friday last Wm. Goleby, of the Chronicle staff, went to Owen Sound, enlisted, and took his place in the training camp yester- day and is now wearing the King’s uniform. He responded to the country’s call for men, and there should be no objection on the part of those who wish to see the war end and the military spirit of Germany crushed forever in thw dust. If we viewed the matter from a selfish standpoint we would feel like uttering a dis-\- nroval of Mr. Goleby’s action, but we can’t do that. The first 2TH]! need of the country to-dny is ti defeat (“\‘rmnny and end the war. and after that to attend to other matters of minor importance. The country wants men, and now the (,‘l‘lronicle wants a man to supply the place of him that’s gone. The country has the best right to his. services. and while he fights I‘m- the country’s welfare. The Chron- icle must try to make another shift. This is the second member of our stuff that is now wearing the khaki, and we hope that both of them may be instrumental in winning laurels and helping to secure the great victory that is sure to he ours in the end.
