Forest Tues- day night, but was unable to at- tend, but his place was taken by Hon. W. D. McPherson, Provincial Secretary for Ontario, who held the attention of a packed audience for over an hour. Mr. McPherson has four sons enlisted, and one daugh- ter has served for three years as a nurse at a military hospital. The name of William Vickers ap- peared amongst the exemptions in last week’s Military Tribunal re- port, and as no explanation was given, he felt hurt, though he had no occasion for it. The :circum- stances will exonerate Mr. Vickers. About two years ago be disposed of his property out west ’and entered the service voluntarily. After about a year’s training he became ill and had to go- to the hospital, where he underwent an operation, from which he has not yet recovered, and is medically unfit for service. Walter Myles, the 11-year-old son] of Frank Myles, Grand Trunk sec- tion foreman, was struck by a motor car on Garafraxa street, op- posite McIntyres hardware, about nine oclock SatuI day night, and asi a result had to have six stitches put in his forehead, just over the right. eye. Another boy grabbed his cap and ran out in the road with it. Myles followed, and ran into the car, which was going north on Gar- al’raxa street. The driver of the car was in no way to blame, though he laid himself liable in not stop- ping z'1lter the accident occurred. Dr. Hutton dressed the wound, and the boy is little the worse of his experience. though he may con- sider himself lucky in getting off as lightly as he did. Mr. W. R. Fairman, who conductâ€" ed the British hotel here about 20 years ago, died suddenly on Monday at his home at Guelph. He was a.- bout 65 years of age, was twice married, and leaves a family of four children from the first marri- age. Mrs. E. A. Rowe, Mrs. Allan Bell, of town”, and their brother, Mr. Charles Beckwith, are step-child- ren. Mrs. Rowe went to Guelph Monday. on hearing of his death, and will return to-day with the remains, which are being brought here for interment. Since leaving here about 19 years ago, deceased had been engaged in gardening and real estate. We understand he was in comfortable circumstances. Heart failure was the cause of death. Rev. Dr. Marsh, late Presbyterian minister at Holstein, writes from St. Andrew’s Manse, Pickering, to say that he likes the work very much, and the people seem to ap- preciate his efforts, as after seven months together, they have given him a call of 95 per cent., the most hearty call ever given by the con- gregation.

IS WONDER We regret to learn of the sadness that has come to the home of Mr. Wm. Davis, of Egremont. Last week he received a sad message from the Military Record Department, an- nouncing the wounding of his son, John Albert, and the death of his other son, William Cecil, who was killed in action on the 26th of Oc- tober. The boys constituted his whole family, and the news, coming at the same time, was a sad blow to the distressed father. John, who was wounded, responded to the call of duty and enlisted with the. 147th Greys about two years ago, and trained at Niagara and Camp Bor- den before going overseas to Eng- land, where he remained till Feb- ruary last before going to France. He took part in the actions at Vmiy Ridge, and other hard engagements. He was previously wounded, and spent a time in a hospital in Eng- land, returning only a short time before his secod misfortune. Particulars, more than the mere announcement of death, of William Cecil Davis, are not to hand. He made the supreme sacrifice on the 26th of October, and evidently in the same engagement in which his brother was wounded. Previous to enlisting, William was engaged in the Standard Bank in Lindsay and left his position to join the 147th and help his brother in the con- flict. He was only 18 years of age when he enlisted, and his brother was two years older. John is reported wounded this time in the left leg and arm, but, it is hoped, not, seriously. The distracted father, who was bereft of his wife a number of years ago,- and had only the two boys left, feels the blow very heavily and has the heartfelt sympathy of the community. THE NOMINATIONS. The nominations on Monday last passed ofi‘ quietly, and from the feelings manifested it would be hard to predict the result of the election. The nominees were the late member, R. J. Ball, of Hanover, who takes the field as a Conserva- tive Unionist, and Mr. W. H. Wright of Owen Sound, who goes before the people as a supporter of Sir Wil- irid Laurier, reserving the. right if independence in regard to matters pertaining to the prosecution of the war. Mr. Thos. Scott, of Singhampton, the Returning Officer, on announc- ing the nominees, gave the names of Milton Ball, of Hanover, and J.H. Hunter, of Durham, as the respect- ive financial agents of the contest- ing candidates. After the appointment of Mr. Jo- seph Ferguson of Maxwell as chair- man, it was arranged to give each candidate half an hour to present his position to the electors, Mr. Ball to speak first. and have ten minutes to reply to Mr. Wright at the close. Mr. Ball reviewed the action of the Borden Government, referring to tariff reductions, establishment of rural mail service, the naval bill controversy, its opposition by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and its defeat in the Senate. He referred also to the importance of the British Navy and the recruiting efforts of Sir Sam Hughes, who had 33,000 recruits in about as many days. In speaking of conscription, he referred to the amendment of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1906, and pointed out wherein the present Military Service Act was not so drastic as the Act framed by the Laurier Government. He showed that voluntary enlistment could no longer succeed, and that from 90 to 95 per cent. of selective conscripts lwere applying for exemptions. He thought that if Sir Wilfrid had used his influence in Quebec there would be little need for conscription. Mr. Wright agreed with Mr. Ball in reference to the franchise to women, but regretted it had not been extended to all women. He characterized the Union as .a union only of some Liberals with the Bor- o ‘_-J I den Government. Hugh Guthrie had voted for the Franchise Act and the Canadian Northern deal before the existence of a Union. Rowell, he said, had no mandate from the Libâ€" erals, and General Mewburn might be a good man, but he had no po-ti litical experience. The general :trend of his address was an attack ’on the Borden Administration, and a plea to uphold the position of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He blamed the indifference towards recruiting in Quebec to seeds of dissension sown by Bourassa. In concluding, he an- nounced himself in hearty accord with 'the policy of Sir Wilfrid, ‘heartily opposed to Union Govern- ment, but claimed independence of action in regard to war measures. Mr. Ball’s ten-minute reply was well received, and heartily applaud- The Saskatchewan Elevator Com- pany’s plant at Shell Brook was completely destroyed by fire, with 8,000 bushels of grain. . ‘ We regret to learn of the death of: Lieut.:Stanley M. McNally,' who died] on November 8th from wounds re-; ceived in action. g He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McNally, and was born on the 23rd of August, 1890, in the residence still occupied by his parents on Lambton street. He taught school for a time at Varney, and in 1910 went west, where he engaged in teaching and other work, till October, 1914, when he enlisted for service with the Slst Battalion and entered training at Calgary till the following May, when he went to England. In the summer of 1915 he went In France, where he served on an ar- my transport for 16 months contin- uously. He was promoted to Lance Corporal, and soon promoted to Ser- geant. He was next sent to England and obtained his commission last spring. He then returned to the front, where he was assigned to a western battalion, in which he served to the time of his death. Besides his parents, he leaves one brother, Pte. Cecil McNally, in France, a brother, Wesley, in Lon- don, Ont., and one sister, Mrs. B. Handforth, in Toronto. The deceased was a fine type of manhood, and a good Christian character, who had the confidence, esteem, and respect of all who knew him. A despatch from Kitchener says: Rev. H. A. Sherling, D.D., who has been pastor of St. Peter’s Lutheran church here for about four years, was taken into custody by an offi- cial of the Dominion Police and will be taken to an internment camp until the conclusion of the war. The cause of the step has not been divulged by the oflicer, but it is believed his arrest followed in- formation against him in connec- tion with aiding the enemy finanâ€" cially. WITH THE BRITISH NAVY ON THE ATLANTIC. The following letter was receiv- ed a few days ago by Mr. A. H. Jackson. from Foster Saunders, formerly of this place, who is now chief engineer on one of the boats of the British Navy. The letter is interesting, and Foster’s many friends in Durham will be pleased to hear from him. He says: “I received your letter a shorti time ago and was very pleased, but. somewhat surprised to hear from you. A fellow just begins to real- ize when he gets in the service what mail from home means. You. can hardly write all your friends because that would keep you pret-l ty busy, but on the other hand you\ would like to hear from them for that is the one big thing we ail look forward to, mail from home. All the vessels of our class have been in here for the past few weeks awaiting orders from the Admiralty.

The life has? been very interesting, but up to the time of writing, not over exciting, although from now on we can ex- pect a little more action‘ in the ex- citement line, especially if we are sent down south. It is awfully dark at night in â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€" on ac- count of the regulations regarding lights and as we are all tired of the place, and fed up with hanging aâ€" round, we will welcome orders to proceed to sea. The boats are all powered with two Fairbanks-Morse crude Oil semi-Diesel engines. very similar to the machines used in the submarines and my experience with the company comes in handy, making the work quite simple. The life aboard is very pleasant and we are fed well, but to any one who has not been to sea in one of these beats, it is hard to explain just how rough it is and what we have to put up with.

I am always Wishing the same as you all that the old war was over and that we were all back home again, but that will not be until the boys in France have signalled “Victory“ and the British Navy has cleared the seas of Hun subs. and raiders. “Well, the Military Service Act! will soon start to call up the boys- and it is only fair to everyone and something that should have been; done long ago.
