Evangelist McLeish, a frequent visitor at Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Allen’s. his last visit being only three or four Weeks ago, is reâ€" ported by our Flesherton corres- pondent to have died very sud- dedy last week in Toronto. Word came last Week that Pte. McAlister was wounded, but we have not learned. the extent of his iniuries. A day or two ago the re- port was circulated. that he is “missing,” but we have no con- firmation. Edwin F. Goodison, president of the John Goodison Thresher Com- pany of Sarnia. died on Sunday on a train at Hamilton. He was on his way to consult a specialist when he was taken violently ill at Brantford. The remains were taken to Toronto and; returned to Sarnia. The Dornoch branch of the .W0- men’s Institute Will meet at the home of Mrs. Darg'avel on Novem- her 8 at 2.30.

John Maroni of Toronto, who had in his possession a bottle of Honor Wnich he intended. accord- ing to his own story, to give to a friend in a battalion leaving Tor- onto for “somewhere in easter“: Canada,” was fined $200 and costs or three months’ imprisonment The magistrate held, that his in- tention to give it to a soldier was a violation of the Act, and constituted an offence. A report comes from Switzerland saying that the Deutschland and Bremen have either been sunk or captured. It states that the Brem- en never reached the United States, nor returned. and that the Deutschland, during the second trip across the Atlantic in Septem- ber. under the name “Weser,” also disappeared. The submarine Uâ€"SB was sent in search of, the missing vessels, but got no trace of them. A later report from New London. Conn, states that the Deutschland arrived there on Monday. We regret very much to learn of the misfortune of Mr. Jas. Petty, who had his barn and contents destroyed by fire on Wednesday of last week. It was caused by a spark from a steam threshing outfit, engaged at the time. Through a strenuous effort on the part of men engaged there. the machine was saved, as well as a number of implements. A calf was the only animal that failed to be rescued. Twenty-four years ago a similar accident occurred at the week, cost over $2,000, and materâ€" ial and help were cheap then com- pared. with now. We understand there was some insurance in the Grey and Bruce Mutual. NEWS AROUND TOWN the prox ince of Ontario, has be: 1. killed in action.

The house was crowded, and everything at times had :1 :weird appearance, in keeping with the occasion. This was especially 'true of the “spook” brigade Iwho were well masked, and lent :much pleasure to the evening’s éanusement. A pleasing duet was contributed on the piano by Miss iRauage and Miss Hunter, and ,highly appreciated mouth organ ‘solos formed the quota of Mr. Stewart McArthur and Miss Lena ‘Ritchje. A very suitable recitation by Mrs. N. W. Campbell, and a ‘ reading by Miss Florabel Nichol were valuable contributions to :the program, as was also a solo gby Miss Winnie Blyth of Varney. iWe believe that every number was ,encored, and on many occasions irespo: 'ed to most cheerfully. A ltasty lunch-eon was served, and an enjoyable time was spent in var- ious kinds of games. The proceeds amounted 1to $21.35 and will be ldevlot. d to patriotic purposes.

Bryon are get- ting very anxious . about their son, Percy, who was wounded on the 26th of September, and has not since been heard from. His last letter home Was written on the 16th, ten days before his misfortune, and several days later they received. the mieagre infuor-t mation that he was wounded and in the hospital. Percy was a regu- lar correspondent, and the long.)‘ interval that elapsed. since the receipt of his last letter is causâ€" ing much anxiety. If, in some way, the parents could. learn the” nature and extent of his injury, it would be a great relief. We cannot real- ize the :distress of the parents during the long period of sus- pense, and. We hope soon that Wond may come and their fears will be set aside We had an interesting letter from Mrs. C. E. Seymour, better known here as “Kit” Jackson. She is living at Tientsin, North China. and wrote Ion the let of Septem- her, the period of transit taking 39 days to go half round the world. Mrs. Seymour’s many friends will be pleased to learn she is well, and. that she still carries them in her memory with other recollections of Durham and sur- roundings, to her, no doubt, the sweetest spot on earth. We are glad she enioys The Chronicle. which must be ancient history by the time it reaches its destination.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, low A SUM. :1”?! EN lfaNCE There was a small attendance at the patriotic meeting held in the public library on Monday night to discuss means of raising money for Red Cross and other funds. Mayor Hunter and Reeve Catton were present and. signified a willâ€" ingness to pass a vote of the. council granting $500 towards the; British Red Cross. It was decidedi also that a canvass of the town; should be made to supplement thei grant of the council. It is expected 4 that a further appeal will be: made about the beginning of the‘ year to raise additional funds for general patriotic purposes. No doubt a hardship will be felt by many to make donations as free- ly as they would wish to. but we must remember we are passing through a strenuous period, and many of us will have to practice self-denial in responding to the call. The lust for world-conquest by the [German bully must be put down if anything like a perman- ent peace is ever to be accom- plished. We are truly a favored ipeople, compared with other por- tions of the belligerent world. The ;War is not over yet, and other 3 calls will follow, but we must meet ithem as cheerfully and as liberally ,as we can. , \ ~ A quartette from the Baptisti church, consisting of Messrs. A.‘ Bell, T. Fallaise, and Misses Lily! Walker and Janet Wylie, with Miss1 Rita Irwin as accompanist and Miss Annie Graham as elocutionist,‘ Went out last Friday night to. Eb- enezer church, on the town line between Egremont and Glenelg, and gave a musical entertainment in the interest of Red Cross work lhere. The young people gave their ‘services free, and the proceeds, amounting to about $14, were left iin the hands of the people, to be !1disposed of later. The same enter- :tainers were at Bunessan school on Tuesday night, Where about $12 were raised. to be similarly dis- posed of. We understand they in- tend going to a number of other 50Ut5id3 points between now and EChristmas,'and as the object is a 3 most deserving one, We hope they ,may be Well patronized.

Rev. Mr. Currie has re- ceived an invitation from the con- gregation of the First Congrega- tional church of. Wyandotte, Mich, to become their pastor, and. has accepted same. Mr. Currie has for-i wanded his resignation to the! president of the London confer-i ence with the request that same? be accepted and that he‘be reliev-l ed of this circuit in a month. Mr. Currie expects to assume the .duties of his new appointment about the middle of November. Mr. Currie has'been in the London conference for several years, com- ing to Woodslee a year ago last July. He is an excellent preacher. and is highly esteemed, by not only his own congregations. but the members of other denominaâ€" tions in the community. His re- moval will give him a wider sphere in Which to show his tal- ents, and his many friends bespeak for him- success in the city across the. bordeLâ€"Essex Free Press. “John Burns, a farmer residing? about 7% miles out from Durham, Was fined $200 and costs, with an {option of two months in jail for éstoring liquor under the neW tem- inerance act. It appears that he ‘had consented to store the booze ;in his barn for Mr. McPhee, a ?hotel keeper of Durham, Whether iconscious or not that he Was vio- ;lating the law.” Continuing, it E says: “Oscar Hahn. also of Durham was asked for a subscription of $300 and. costs on a charge of selling li luor.

Fines of $200 and $300, and costs in each case, were the correct amounts adiudicated by Magistrate Creasor for such infractions. We quote from the report, which says: “The two cases were tried before Magistrate Creaso'r, who dismissed a charge of selling against Mc-.
