Mr. Thompson of Mount Forest were pleasing to the congregations. The churches were nicely decorated for the occasion, the music was espe- cially fine, and the response to the call for funds is said to have been generous and gratifying. Rev. Mr. Dymond had charge of the services at Mt. Forest. Mr. George Noble lost a fine three-year-old colt yesterday un- der peculiar circumstances.

The Owen Sound Advertiser takes‘ an exchange to task for stealing matter from its columns and pub- lishing it without credit. The pa- ;per the ’Tiser is after is an ex- pert at that sort of thing, and has apparently lost all sense of shame for such cribbing. In our Opinion, an item worth cepying from an ex- change should be credited with the source from which it comes. By the way, the ‘Tiser, in Monday’s is- sue, 00pied an article from this paper and gave the credit to anâ€" other. As the editor’s intentions were good we’ll forgive him this We regret very much to learn of the death of Donald McKinnon, who was killed in action on the inst. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Neil MoKinnon of Priceville, ‘ twenty- four years of age. of fine physique. well educated. and intellectually bright. He was esteemed by all who learned to know him. and many will regret to learn of his sad fate. Donald McKinnon Killed in Action He enlisted in July, 1915. and took out papers for a Captainoy. Later in the year, he relinquished the ti- tle and in November joined as sap- per in the signal section of the En- gineors. He left Canada on January 15L. 1916, as Corporal. and before being long in England he was given his three stripes. In May, 1916, he was sent to France, where he remained continuously «to the time of his death. Wanting to serve with his brother, Neil, he transferred to that branch of the service in February of this year. as a Gunner in the 10th Battery. On Monday morning last, three telegrams were received by the parents. The first said he was wounded and admitted to the 42nd Casualty Clearing Station on Sep- tember 10th. The next message stated the wounds dangerous, :1 gun-shot wound in the side, and the next message announced his death. As despatches of this nature are very brief, and give no particulars. there will be nothing further known for some days, when a letter will be received. In the interval, the saddened parents will have a period of suspense. The worst has been told, however, and whatever intelligence the details may com- municate, there will be nothing to remove the burden of sorrow the fond parents are now forced to hear. We sincerely sympathize with the family in their affliction. On Sunday last. morning and eV-i ening, anniVersary sermons 11 eiei preached in the Baptist church by‘ lieV.

She was gowned in her trav- elling suite of taupe gabardine with hat to match. During the signing of the register, Mrs. Hargreaves sang “Because.” After :1 dainty repast, the happy couple left for Regina and Calgary. The best wishes for “Un Bon Voyâ€" age” through life follow them from a host of friends. .--p~â€"â€" -4...- LOCAL TRIBUNALS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED.
