Financial difficulties are the supposed cause of the de- ceased’s action. An inquest was: not considered necessary. If is said of Spurgeon that when a disbeliever, endeavoring to norâ€" ner and confuse him, asked when ther a man in business should al- ways tell the truth about his goods, he answered, “It’s a Wise plan to always tell the truthâ€"bu? don’t be always telling it.” From the Amherst, N. 8.. Daily News. of October 10, we learn that the 147th Battalion arrived there in tip-top shape, were given the staunch hand of genuine welcome, and were already “getting ac- quainted.” The News has much to say regarding the generally ,sol- ,dierly appearance of the battalion and pronounces them as good as any Who have yet visited Amherst. andt hey have been a few. Lieut. Young of Hanover, Who is home on furlough to recover from Wounds received in the trenches early in June, gave us a brief call on Tuesday. Though he reports himself as feeling fine, We are firm in the belief that his condition is far below normal. He was wound- ed in the back by a piece of shrapnel. and since then has spent most of his time in the hospitals in France and England. He expects to be able to return early next month and again help in the great struggle for World freedom. Lieut. Young smiles at the ignorance we have here regarding the progress of the war, and scouts at the thought of it being ended soon. He has no .doubt in the ultimate success of the Allies, though it may take years to terminate the awful struggle. He thinks War is a great game, and While it is pleas- ant to be away from the turmoil of the strife, he feels in duty bound to return to the scene of activities and do what he can to uplift the cause of justice. hrs-ant: 2x40? An auto liveryman who exceed- ed the speed limit in Paisley, was called to answer to the magistrate and fined $5 and costs. Other arâ€" rests for similar infractions of the law are likely to follow. It seems to us that our constable would have little trouble in raking in a few shekels for the town by laying an information against some 05 the reckless autoists. Twenty-five miles an hour was the rate charg- ed against the man in Paisley. Fif- teen miles an hour is the maxi- mum speed allowed by law in towns, and this can be reduced by by-law. but can not be increased. The ladies of the Red Cross in- tend sending a Christmas stock- ings to each of the soldier boys from Durham and Vicinity. Two ladies will be at the Red Cross headquarters from two to five o’- clock, Tuesday, October 24 to receive donations of pocket mir- rors, pencils, pens, chewing gum, chiclets, handkerchiefs, writing paper. playing cards, games, to- bacco, cigarettes, or any other articles that may give pleasure to the boys at the front Or in train- ing. Let there be a hearty res- DODSG. On Tuesday afternoon, as John Arnett was backing the .dray on the sidewalk to deliver a large box' of goods at Bean’s store, he Went a little to far, and broke a large pane of plate glass. At the price of glass now, it will cost something to replace it, but we understand that Mr. Calder, who owns the building, has the Win- ;dows insured, and no doubt by this time he had paid enough to expect something in return from the insurance company. News Around Town Mr. Ted. Vickers of Sussex, NB, learning from The Chronicle about the time the 147th Battalion would pass through. made it his business to see them en route to Amherst. In a letter to Mr. Jackson he tel‘s of a number he met, and express- cd his desire to get the full mpg-- 13 al addresses of the boys from Durham and vicinitx. We would. ask that the addresses be furnish- ed to us, and We’ll publish them in the course of a couple of Weeks. This Will assist the ladies of Owen Sound. who are also anxious to first the same information. Presiding at a meeting held to assist in supplying: Wood and coal to the bilingual schools being con- duct rd in Ottawa, Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier said that bilingual schools were of vital interest to the pro- gress of the country. Joseph Weber of Seaforth was before Police Magistrate Andrews of Clinton, When he testified that the 12 half barrels of whiskey, which he had brought in previous to the closing of the bars and shops, Was for the use of his wife. and himself. There were about 320 gallons and the price paid was $2.25 a gallon. He thought it would last about 14 years. While the charge of bringing in liquor for other than personal use was dismissed, there is another charge to be tried later, that of storing for sale or other .disposal, and un- til this is disposed of the seized iuice Will remain in the custodv of the inspector. The Liberals held a convention here on Monday afternoon, When a large attendance of delegates and friends of the party were the choice of the convention to contest South Grey for the Legis- lature, but a ballot Was taken to decide on a Federal candidate between Barrister W.

Their four daughters gathered for the occa- sion. but as the .day was also the first anniversary of the death of a daughter, the first break in the family, there was no celebration. Geo. Ross and Mary McDonald, the Veterable couple, were both born in Sutherland, Scotland. Both came to Canada with their parents and settled in West Zorra, where they were married in 1856. In 1867 they moved to Walkerton, where the county buildings were being erect- ed. though according to Mr. Ross it was a “sorry place” and not much of a town.
