Few men have been subjected to viler criticism by a certain class in the community than the late F. S‘. Spence, who died in Toronto last week. He was a man of high ideals and one of Canada’s greatest moral reformers. He fought against the evils of the liquor traffic for years, and as one speaker at__his_ hurial WE DURHAM CHRONICLE political hands Mrs. Geo. Henderson has again returned lmme. after spending the Mr. A. Young 01‘ Owen Sound ex- pects his son home from France.

Dr. Hincks, when he said. “His whole life was a life of love, given to a drink-ridden world.” He had his enemies, and his friends, but his bitterest op- ponents were powerless in moving him from the path of rectitude in which his faith was so firmly fixed. He lived ahead of his time. and the reforms he fought for \YlllllVO after him. is the blood of his fellows in the trenches. \Ve have 0111‘ liberty at an {mini inst The host life and hlnod oi the Em piie is the tell we are paving.

No able-bodied man with a degree of respect for himself and honor for the flag that protects him will think of being so base. There are some but they re not men. Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Livingston, who last year worked Andrew Der- by’s farm, have moved to the old Muir farm, which is now owned by Michael Byers. Mr. Noah Miller and wife haye moved to the Derby farm, which they intend working this year. The. man at home in the enjoy- ment of liberty is often forgetful of the source of his fredom. He fails to realize that the price paid is the blood Of his fellows in the trenches. We have our liberty at Our deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. and Mrs. James Watt, and family. who received word lately that their youngest son, Willie, was killed in action in France. The Watt family were old Hampden re:- idents. They have another son, Tom, training in England. We hear that the Ford Bros.’ sale amounted to $4,000, and it is re- ported that the farm was sold for $12900. HAMPDEN Miss Jennie Cooper is again able to be out, after an atta'ck of mumps.
