Charles McMullen, one of three brothers at the front. who died on the 10th inst. from wounds received in action. Charlie, who was 30 years of age. was born near this village, and was a fine type of young manhood, active and useful in Christian work. For a number of years he had been living in Toronto where he joined the artillery, with which he went to France in Febru- ary, 1915. He and his brother, Lt. Austin McMullen, took part in the battle of Vimy Ridge, passing through the ordeal safely. His young wife and a child, born after his departure for France, are living in Toronto. The bereaved families have the deep sympathy of this community. A memorial service will be held in the Presbyterian church next Sabbath. Mr. Pinder, baker, has given Up business here and gone to Prince Edward county. A splendid open- ing remains for a good man in that me. The trustee heard of the Metho- dist church has purchased the brick residence of the late Dr. Carter for a parsonage. The property 'wzis sold last week by tender, the price secured being $2,900.

I like France now, but was disgusted with it for a while when I first came. It was nothing but rain and mud, and then mud and rain for a change. Thanks again from one and all. Your friend, Pte. D. M. Saunders. The Vital importance to the health of the body of the health or disease of the teeth and mouth has only quite recently been generally rec- ognized. Even now there are num- bers of people who only go to the dentist, or, indeed, take any thought of their teeth, when they are actu- ally sufiering from toothache. Yet the state of the mouth and teeth is of the utmost importance in the bodily acgnomy. A letter from He. D. M Saunders, was received last Mr. A. H. Jz'mkson. It, read as follows: A letter from Pte. Hector McGil- livray. formerly of Dornooh, but now in a hospital in England, has been handed us for perusal. It was a personal letter. written to a friend at Dornoch, and not intended for publication. Parts of it will be inâ€" teresting to those who know him, and those who don’t know him will be interested in the cheerful char- acter of his letter. He says in part: England, May 8th, 1917. Dear Friendâ€"I received your let- ter on the 21st of April, but hadn’t much time to answer it. Went up the line on the 22nd, was wounded on the morning of the 23rd, and my shoulder pained so much that I had to give writing up for a bad job. . a jug of rum and a rifle, it was no easy job crawling along. We lost track of the other troops somehow, and the (Mrmans {urinal their ma- chine guns on us and started snip- ing, and a lot of the boys were kill- ed or wounded, and we had to crawl over them. I was just. digging mr- self in when I felt something tug at my haversack. I got it in the hip and the next. one got me in the hack right up near my left shoulder. It was a close call. My tunic was cut right across. the back, so I deâ€" cided the best thing to do was to leave, and I crawled over to a shellâ€" hole where there were three others, one of whom died about ten minutes after he crawled in. We lay there till eight o’clock, knowing we would be shot 'if we got out and exposed ourselves. When it got dark we thought we would get back, but the Germans came over and chased us. W e hated to run. but as'there was only a handful of us left it was the best thing we could do. Subse- quently we got back and had our wounds dressed.
