Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather on Tuesday night, the garden party at Mr. Walter Ewâ€" ing’s grove, near Rob Boy. was quite a success. Short addresses were given by Revs. Moyer, Wha- ley and Wylie, and Messrs. J. A. Graham and Allan Bell. The pro- gram was further sustained by a song from Mr. Bell, duets by Misses Wylie and Middlebro, Misses Wylie and Redford, and a recitation by Miss Annie Graham. The proâ€" ceeds amounted to about $45, and will go for patriotic work. \‘m‘noy anniversary will 1m hvld Hm church an Sunday, Hclulwz' _. when sermuns will be prcuclma’. 11 3.111. and ’7 p.11]. by Rev.

Word has. just been received that' Cecil Gordon Gun has been promot- ed to the position of Lieutenant in the British Navy. He is a son cf the late Dr. Gun, and has been sail- ing for a number of years. About three years ago, he enlisted for ser- vice in the navy and has since been engaged on a. destroyer in the North Sea. He is now taking the officers training course at the Royal Naval Barracks at Devon- 1)orl. England. Last Saturday evening about 8 o‘clock, during the heavy electric storm. the residence of Mrs. Mur- dock. about two miles ’south of the town, was struck and burned to the ground, with all the contents, ex- cepting a few minor items. Mrs. Murdock was baking at the time, and had a good fire going, when the bolt entered the chimney and shattered the stove, scattering the fire in all directions. She had just left the stove a moment before, ar else might have been at least stun- ned and burned to death. Practi- cally nothing was saved, as she was alone at the time. We understand that there is a small insurance. The same evening, a barn belong- ing to John Fogarty, of the 10th of Glenelg, near Zion, was struck and destroyed with all the season’s 'crop, hogs and poultry. Another barn has also been reported burn- ed west of Dornoch, but we have no particulars. PTE. GEORGE HALLIDAY “MAWAAMMAAAAO OAWAMMMAAW¢ WWM+++++$MM++++*V+Q WN+§++4°++W++ $1.00 PER YEAR.
