The let- ter was dated on the 5th of Septem- ber, and at that time threshing had not commenced. He says there is an immense lot of grain grown in that locality. The summer has been exceedingly fine. In the recent. casualty lists we notice the names of W. W. MoAl- ister of Durham and D. McLeod. of Pricex'ille. Pte. McAlister is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. McAIister of Normanby, whose son, Thomas W._. was reported missing some months. ago, and has not since been heard from. He is now officially presum- ed to be dead. ' Mr. Jas. Smith left on Saturday! morning for Toronto, Where he has‘ enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps. For the past four years, Jim has been connected with the Ford Gar- age here, but considered the caZI to duty of more importance to him and his country than the repairing of Ford touring cars. His future destination is as yet uncertain, but it is rumored that the Flying Corps now stationed at Toronto will leave shortly for either Texas 01: Florida r51: the winter. We Wish Jim good luck, and trust he may have a safe return. Rev. D. H.

SOUTH GREY SUNDAY SCHOOLS HOLD ANNUAL CONVENTION. The fifth annual convention of the South Grey Sunday School Associa- tion was hold in the Methodist (rhm‘vh, Durham, yesterday, the 26th inst. Tho morning session consisted mainly of routine business, followed by an address by the past president, Mr. V. Damm, of Ayton. patriotic act. The proceeds a- mounted to about $50 and will be handed over to the Red Cross. Dr. Jamieson made an ideal chair- man and introduced a good pro- gram with an appropriate address. The Methodist Male Quartette ren- dered a. number of good selections. Miss. Walker contributed a solo. Mr. Yiirs and Mrs. Howell moved the finer feelings of the audience with arcouple of well-rendered Violin se- lectimis, accompanied by Miss Rita Irwin on the organ. All the local clergymen. and Rev. Mr. Ashton, of Mulock, made short congratulaâ€" tory addresses. Miss Annie Graham gave evidence to eloeutionary abilâ€" ity in a. spirited recital of a patriâ€" otic nature. Mr. Mistele sang a solo that was much enjoyed, and Misses Wylie and Redford contribâ€" uted a well-rendered duet. There may have been others, but we took no notes, and if we missed any of the entertainers it was not because ,of malice aforethought. .‘ ‘ _1- \JL A‘Ilnx-V We again congratulate the church on the excellence of the program. Word was received recently by Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Halliday, of Nor- manby, near Blyth‘s Corners, an- nouncing the death in action of their son, Pte. George Halliday, 0n the 26th of August. He was 261 years of age, and enlisted with a‘ western battalion. He trained tori; some time at Camp Borden and -went overseas about a year ago. Shortly afterwards he went to France, and did service in' the trenches. On the 25th of July, he was wounded by a shrapnel, but returned shortly after to the 'trenches, where, after six days, he received a bullet through the head from a sniper, at the battle of Lens. ANNIVERSARY TEA-MEETING DURHAM, ONTARIO THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1917. 5 The attraction most, in evidence ”was the Mt. Forest. Pipe Band. which was. liberal with its musical I (tnnlki ibutions. and gave :1 number (if excellent selections that \101‘0 fau- iemblx remix ed 11v the audience. iThe band \1 a not large as in num- bers, but il1ev \\ em all good musiâ€" ’cians. and \\ ere delighted with the treatment. received from the man- agement, and citizens generally. THE LATE DONALD MCKINNON son of Mr. and Mrs. Neil McKinnon, of Priceville, who was wounded on September 10th, and died on the 13th. He was 24 years of age, en- listed in July, 1915, and had been in France since May, 1916. The Soulh Grey Fair was held here last, Tlmrsday and Friday. in some respects. the display was good. but, an the whole. it. seems to us, it was not, up to that. of for- mer years. The upper hall had a. geiinl display of fancy work and (.lrmieslie manufactures, but the dairy output, was not, equal in quan- tity to many of its predecessors. Fruit, was law, but that is not sur- prising. as there is very little in the country. There. were several gem} exhibits of potatoes, grain, roots and vegetz‘ihles. The weather was all that could be desired, and the attendance was large, the gate receipts amounting to more than five hundred dollars, the largest in the history of the fair, accomling to the president’s statement at the concert in the ev- oning. The concert was a great success It wa s {113011 113 the Harmonic M ale Quartette, of London, and consisted of four Inale 3Tfices. (Pheir selec- tions were all good, and some we ‘wrnfld charachnfize as cxcehent.§t would be hard to excoll some of the quartettos, which were rendered chiefly without the aid at an ac- companist. as a matter of choice, we prosume. as the3 had a lady ac- mmnpanp4,33hh thenm 'The pro- ceeds of the concert. amounted 1.0 over $130. The prize list, will be found on another page in this issue. Major Bishop, the noted young aviator, who has a record of bringâ€" ing down thirty-seven enemy aeroâ€" planes, arrived in Montreal yester- day afternoon. Where he was met by his mother and fiancee, Miss Burâ€" den. He is expected to reach his home in Owen Sound tO-day. We had a pleasant trip to Camp Borden on (day of week deâ€" leted by the censor). Mr. J. P. Tel- ford treated a number of us to an outing. and it would be putting it mild, indeed, to say we appreciated his generositfi. To see the aero- planes in motion was an object of the trip. The company consisted of Barrister Telford, Postmaster Smith» Mr. J. H. Harding and Ye Editor, and to find another quartette with as much beauty and intelligence would be no easy task. The dist-E ance travelled in the round trip was about 130 miles, but the ad- vent of the auto has almost anni- hilated space, and makes near neighbors of persons a hundred 'miles away. We left here at half- past nine, and shortly after 12 had dinner at Stayner. About one o'- clock we resumed our trip, and made the last 20 miles in good time and without breaking any records. It was a pleasure to see and hear the many air-ships that hovered lover and around the camp. THE SOUTH GREY PAIR. WM+§§++¢MM¢¥§++++++¢ “WWWQ'Q- $1.00 PER YEAR.
