Two weeks ago last Tuesday, he left here to take charge of a mission in Alberta. In appearance, he was in the very best of health, and no one ever thought he would be called away St") $001}. A telegram reached here about fuur O’clock yesterday; from Rev. J. ‘W. McIntosh, of Prince Albert, addressed to his son, William, at Yarney. It said: “Regret your father died to-day. Appendicitis. Wire your wishes. \Vriting.” Nothing more than the brief mes- sage. is known here, but further particulars of his brief illness and death will likely reach the family in a few days. The deceased was born in Dum- friesshire, Scotland, in 1850. He came to Canada in 1854 with his parents and other members of the family. For four years they lived at Palermo, in the county of Haltou, and moved to Egremont in 1858, and resided in the township ever since. He was twice married, first to Margaret Pace, who died about a year and a half after marriage. Some years later he married Mare garet Ferguson, who died about 11 years ago, leaving a family of two sons and three daughters: William, on the homestead; Thomas, in France; Mrs. Robt. Aitken, Mrs; Bert. Watson, and Mrs. Marshall, in Egremont and Normanby. There was no family from the first marri- age. He leaves one brother, Prin- cipal Thomas Allan, of the-,2» High school, here. Mr. Allan was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church, and for many years an elder in Knox church, Normanby, and also superâ€" intendent of the Sunday school. On different occasions he had pastoral charge of Presbyterian congrega- tions. a few years ago near Ghat- ham, and recently at Mildmay. He was on his way to take charge of a. mission in Alberta, and could have been there only a few days when the call came. ' v The deceased was a Conservative in politics, but about 20 years ago he contested the constituency in a threeâ€"cornered fight in the interest of the patrons. For four or; five years, up to the time of the appointment of the Ontario License Commission Board he held the position of License In- SpCCtOI‘ for South Grey. He was a man possessed of strong moral and temperance con- victions, and honest in all his dealings. We sympathize with the sorrow- ing family in their sudden and unexpected bereavement.

Arrowsmith left on Monday afternoon for the west,: where they intend to make their'f home. They expect to locate at: Dinsmore, Sask., which is about 40‘ miles from McGee, where his’ daughter, Mrs. Hunt, is now living.i During their stay here, Mr. and, Mrs. Arrowsmith made many friends, and from the nature of his business as constable, he has made some “few enemies. He was faithâ€" ful in the discharge of his duties, and the enemies he made, if any. were only those who were unfor- tunate enough to violate the‘ law and brought to answer {or their wrong-doing. He was a most efficiâ€" ent constable, and the" town is losing a good man. We regret to see him go; and our best wishes go with him. It would be difficult to get and in so saying we believe ‘we are voicing the opinion of the best pee-- ple in the community. DURHAM,_ONT., THURSDAY. APRIL 26, [917 l The first prize essays will be read 'in Toronto, and three prizes of 825, S15 and $10, respectively, will be . awarded to the best three submitted in the province. ‘ In explanation of the action of ithe committee, the secretary points aout that the Provincial Department of Agriculture is taking steps to bring before the farmers of the province the great need of food pro- duction this year, and urges the use gof boys of High school age on the ffarms as one of the means calcu- ilated to help over the shortage of : labor problem. THE PRIZE-WINNERS ' In order to further the plans of the Provincial Department of Ag- ricultureand Labor, looking tow- ards the securing of boys of High schools to work on the farms during the summer, the Organization of Resources Committee announced that they would give three cash prizes of $5, $3 and S , respectively, for the best three compositions submitted by pupils on the tOpic: “How can the Ontario High School Boy, by working on a Farm this summer help (1) himself, (2) the farmer, (3) the Empire.” A number of the High school stu- dents here entered the contest and the prizes were awarded as follows: L. PI. Campbell, Swinton Park, ist; Miss Annie Graham, Durham, 2nd; Miss Marion Marshall, Durham, 3rd. The essays submitted were read by a committee of three and the de- cision was unanimous.
