Durham; Hanover, and Walnerâ€" ton certainly cannot boast of the condition of the roads leading int3 the towns, or even the business thoroughfares. We don‘t know that any one of the towns is better or worse than the other, but we think there is an exceptionally good 0p- portunity for improvement, with little or no chance of their getting any worse. ‘ - The services in Trinity church, Durham, and St. Paul‘s, Egremont, next Sunday will be commemorative of our entry into the fourth year of the war.

Jackson left Tuesday for Buffalo, and is spending the re- mainder of the week in Toronto. attending the Grand Lodge meeting of the Independent Order of Odd-- fellows. Mrs. T. C. Morton received a nwssage from the Records Office this week stating that her son, He. \Vesley Morton, who went overseas with the 147th Battalion. and was severely wounded, was improving. This was welcome news to Mr and Mrs. Morton, who only last week received the information that his condition was anything but satis- factory. There was no malice aforeâ€" thought, and no slight was intend.- ed. Without going into further de- tails we wish to say it was a com-- plete oversight not to mention in our last issue that Dr. John A. Conkey, of Indianapolis, Ind., gave us a brief call while home here two weeks ago at the burial of his mother in Priceville. The Dr. is well-known in town, having spent some time in Macfarlane’s. drug store over twenty years ago. He is lt:n_.l<ing well. and fortune is evi- dently smiling on him. We were pleased to meet him, and wish him continued prosperity. Mrs. W. S. Dunsmoor, and sons, Frank and George, accompanied by theis wives, visited friends here on Sunday and Monday. They motor- ed here Sunday morning and re- turned on Monday afternoon. They left at three o’clock, and. barring accidents, expected to reach home by half-past seven. L. Robson one day recently. The well is drilled Within a couple of feet of her residence, is 96 feet deep and the water comes out under suf- ficient pressure to force it over the house. It is good water, and be- sides heing used for drinking and cooking purposes, is also useful for watering th garden and lawn. The (werflow is turned into the old well that was in use before this one was drilled, and never freezes, even in the coldest weather. The thunder storm that passed over this locality on Sunday even- ing last was one of the fiercest ever witnessed here. Fortunately, the town escaped damage to any extent. A tree at the foot of the Garafrara street hill was blown down, broke a couple of telephone poles, mixed up the wires and put the service out. of commission; In he adjoining and ”adjacent townships, the resi- dents were not so fortunate. A fine frame barn near Knox church, Norâ€" manby, belonging to Mrs. Andrew Marshall, of town, and occupied by Mr. W. Horsburg, was struck by lightning and completely destroyed by fire, together with the contents, which included six calves, a num- ber of pigs, and some farm impleâ€" ments. About the same time, Mr. Thos. McAIister’s barn was struck and fired, but not burned, as the fire was soon extinguished by the prompt action of Mr. McAlister and the assistance of his neighbors.

N9 PAPER NEXT WEEK. It is a custom in local newspaper offices to take a week Off in the 'summer, but With one or two ex- ceptions, we never followed the custom. Owing to heavy pressure I of work, we crave the indulgence of ’our readers to excuse ”us for next week. We’ll be on deck as usual to take orders for job work and attend to other business, but we don‘t expect much of a picnic. Mrs. James Warmington received 'a letter this week relative to. the death of her son, Pte. James War- mington. whose obituary wemgave in our last issue. It reads as fol- lows: Dear Madamâ€"It is with sincere. regret that I have to convey to you the sad news of the loss of your son. He. was killed instantly - by shrapnel from a shell which er.- ploded near him While he was on duty deepening a trench. Two oth- ers were killed by the same shell. His remains were taken out from the line and are buried in Sans En Gnhelle cemetery, the grave being registered as Plot 2, Row B, Grave 3. He was killed on the 9th July, 1917. He was wounded several times. At St. Julien a shell burst. near him, killing his companion, a young man from near Mt. Forest. and six horses, but he. escaped Without in- jury, beyond impaired hearing. from which he was gradually re- covering. At Courcellette on Sep- tember lst. 1916, he was severely wounded in the knee. and was con- fined to hospitals in France and Eigland until about the end of last May. when he was sufficiently re- envered to return to the firing hrug hut. in what capacity we have not learned. Dated July 18th, 1917. On Monday evening. a telegram from the Record Office at Ottawa conveyed the sad intelligence of his death in action on the 23rd of July. It was a severe blow to the distressed parents and family. who were hopefully looking forward to a happy re-union at the close of the great conflict. Much sympathy is expressed on all sides for the bereaved family.
