NEIL CAMPBELL The death on Monday of Mrs. Neil Campbell, removes one of the ’oldest residents of the township of Bentinck, and one of the ,earliest settlers. ‘. The deceased, whose maiden :name was Janet McPhee, was born in the Island of Islay, Scotland, in ‘1824, 92 years ago. She was mar- ried in 1842 to Neil Camp-bell, and the young couple left their native land fivo years later for America.

Chas. J. Lee, who is with the Army Medi- cal Corps at Camp Borden, pre- paring for overseas service. is coming to Durham in a few days in an endeavor to interest young men in the branch of the service with which he is identified. Pte. Lee, who is a member of the dry goods firm‘ of W. T. Lee Sons, Limited, enlisted last winter. He will be home for several .days and hopes to interest quite a number of young men, and in addition he will visit other towns in the county. The Army Medical Corps is unique in attracting to its strength men of all classes and. occupations, all of whom enter as privates. With the numerous drafts constantly leaving, promo- tion in the ranks is rapid, and at all times men are assured of con- genial companionship. The AMC also provides the older man With an opportunity of serving, and the less arduous duties, with the com- fortable quarters provided, and the interesting and humane work under the Red Cross makes it par- ticularly suitable work for the man Who desires to do his duty but who is not fitted for the life of the trenches. Those who are inter- ested in the Army Medical Corps should leave their name at The Chronicle office, so that they may see Pte. Lee when he comes. HYMEN EAL . MORRISâ€"GREEN.
