Albert Johnson, a negro, died on Sunday last in the Hastings H0180 Of Refuge. He was born in Per ,1.- sylvania in 1810, and was, therefore 107 years of age. He was the oldest man in Hastings, if not in the prov- ince. Our Flesherton correspondent gives an interesting account of an aeroplane that landed there lav: week, in order that the aviator, a former Flesherton boy, might have dinner and shake hands with some of his friends. They came from Camp Borden, a distance of 50 miles. in 50 minutes, and expected to make the return trip in a shorter time. NEWS AROUND TOWN Messrs. Alfred Benton, evangelist, and Ernest Benton, of Illinois, and Harry Benton, of the \Vestinghouse works, Hamilton, were present at the funeral of their step-father, Mr. George Frape. Mrs. Anthony Holmes and Mrs. Piquet of town, are step- daughters of the deceased. The other step- sons are Fred Benton, ol‘ Toledo, Wm. Benton, Birmingham, England, and Arthur Benton, ()1 Mihhigan.

An interesting program was given after the tea, and conâ€" sisted of a couple of piano duets by the Misses Lawrence, an excellent solo by Mr. Allan Bell, two much appreciated solos by Mrs. Wm. Lawrence, a spirited recitation by Miss Edith McKenzie, and an ad- dress by Rev. Mr. Dymond. Monday, September 3rd, was the tenth anniversary of the railway wreck, on the Caledon mountain when a C.P.R. train, heavily loaded with passengers for the Toronto Ex- hibition, left the rails at the horseâ€" shoe curv.e There were six deaths and many injured, M. K. Richardson of Flesherton and John S. Black, Glenelg, being amongst the latteri. Since then, the trains make the curve very slowly. We met three of the Benton boys, who have been home to attend the funeral of their step-father, Mr. George Frape. The way in which they speak of him is the strongest evidence that we want of his kind-- ness as a parent. To marry a wiâ€" dow with eight dependent children seems no small task for a man tr: undertake, yet, from the way the boys talk, no real father could he more kind and indulgent than the late Mr. Frape.

Sunday at the different. services. The ladies of the Red Cross will serve meals in the town hall on show day ,September let. Any d0.- nations will be thankfully received and may be left at Dr. Jamieson’s. Come and help the boys who are fighting for you. "The children of Belgium are cry- ing for food.

Sixty millio'i men are withdrawn from produc- tion for war service. To feed the Allied armies and nations, the men and women of Canada must pledge themselves to maximum productioi the elimination of waste and the largest possible consumption of perishable foodstuffs,” says Hon. W. J. Hanna, Canadian Food Controller. Anniverstry services will be held in the Baptist church on Sunday next, September 16th. The preacher will be the Rev. H. E. Stillwell, De- nominational Treasurer, and f )r many years a devoted servant oP God in India. Mr. Stillwell will preach at 11 am. and 7 pm. On Monday, September 24th, the anni- versary tea will be in the interest of the Red Cross. Hon. Dr. Jamie- sen. M.P.P., Speaker of the Provin- cial House, will preside. An inter- esting program of songs and speech- es will be rendered after the tea. Note, September 24th. Mr. Thos. Daniel left yesterday mt‘irning for a trip west, and will remain for three months. and per- haps a longer period. He intends tL- visit his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Brown, of Paisley Brook, Sask., and later to visit his six brothers in different parts of the western States. For the. past seven years Mr. Daniel has been an efficient caretaker of the Publis school, a position he resign- ed a couple of weeks ago. We wish Mr. Daniel a pleasant holiday and will welcome him on his return. He has been a resident of town for the past '29 years, and a resident of the locality since he was five years of age. Last week we referred to a fleet of six aeroplanes passing over the town on Friday morning, in a westâ€" erly direction. At the time, we did not know where they came from, or where they were going. One of them became damaged at Kincar- dine, and on Monday was being tak- en on a motor truck to Camp Bor- den for repairs. From one of the aviators we learned that the fleet left Deseronto early on Frid'iy morning for Camp Borden, but lost their way and did not leafln their whereabouts till reaching a point near Kincardine. Three returned that same day, one reported at Te- ronto. the wrecked plane that pass-- ed through here descended in an orchard near Kincardine and was wrecked. and up to Monday morn- ing the sixth machine had not re- ported at all. DURHAM, ONTARIO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1917. Some one has started the rumor that the winner of the Red Cross Ford car in the coming drawing will be expected to donate it back to the society, to be sold again. There is absolutely no truth in this rumor. The winner of this car owns it just the same as if he had made the purchase in the regular way, and it is his to do with as he sees fit. F. A.

Forest Con- federate. Why not ask the Confed. man? Toronto council had a meeting yesterday which lasted only seven minutes. During that time a byâ€" law was passed giving authority to the Finance Commissioner to hypo- thecate $2,000,000.00 worth of Ear-- bor Improvement Bonds for the purpose of raising funds for carry- ing on workr during 1918. Mayor Laidlaw boasts about getting throug with Durham council every night before ten. Now, William. stop your blowing and be good. The Mt. Forest Confederate is in-- stalling a linotype, and takes a hol- iday next week to do it. Banker Kelly and daugghter, Miss Amy, left Monday for the west, and expect to be. absent about three weeks. Capt. Alex. Firth was in town over Sunday, to visit his parents and sister. and to meet many of his old friends. Shortly after the declari- tion of war he resigned his position asprincipal of Orangeville Public school and enlised for service. In the fall of 1915 he went to England, when he received a commission as Captain, and has since been engaged in the training of soldiers. He re- grets very much that he was not allowed to go to the fighting line. but he was denied the pleasure be- cause he was born too soon. He looks well. has a strong physique, good eyesight. and would, no doubt, have done good work in the trenches. It was decreed, however, that he should not go, and however indignant he may feel at the disapâ€" pointment, there is little. doubt he will be safer in Orangeville. But why talk like this? The true soi- dier forgets his personal comforts, and makes everything else subserâ€" vient to the public good. WWMAMAO OW J. J.
