SPENCE DURHAM, LIVED IN EGREMONT FOR SEVEN" YEARS Late Edward Henderson One of Pio- neers of Township, Died Saturday lorning in 88th Year. The passin early Saturday morn- ing of Mr. dward Henderson re- moves one of the oldest residents of Egremont and severs another link with the pioneer days of the now long ago when this part of Ontario was an untilled wilderness. Mr. Henderson had been a resident of the 16th concession upwards of 70 years. Hew as horn in Eseques- ing Township. Halton County, in 1838 and lived there until a young man of eighteen years when the family came to Egremont and set- tled on the farm on the 16th con- cession a mile and a quarter south of Amos church, where he spent the remainder of his long and useful life. v-vv' The deceased, whose death was the result. of a general breakdown due to advancing years, was a re- markably active man, and while ail- ing for the past couple of years, taking a serious turn last October, he was never what could be called bedt‘ast, being up and around in- termittently during the week of his death. He was a man much respect- ed in his community, an active church worker and one of the most substantial citizens of the Town- Ship. - _A I l'pwards of :30 years ago, he was marrird to Miss Catharine Ruther- ford. who died about, 1:") yoars ago. To them were born a family of llvo children. of whom the following sur- viw: Alex, on the homestead, Thomas in St. George and Mrs. R. Taylor in Dromorn. A daughter, Mrs. Ferguson. died some years ago, and anotlwr child was killed by a falling tron when quite yolrng. ‘ Mr. Henderson was a Liberal in politics, a devoted member of the Presbyterian church, and his worth in the community was attested by the large gathering at the funeral Monday afternoon. Services were held in Mos church, Dromore, con- ducted by Rev. W. Johnston of Hol- stein. who was assisted by a former pastor of the. congregation. the Rev. (Continued on page 4) ST. COLUMBA CHURCH HELD ANNUAL MEETING Priceville United Congregation Turned Out in Large Numbers.â€" Reports From Various Secretaries Most Encouraging. Enthusiasm, gratitude and good- will marked the annual meeting of the congregation of St. Uolumba United church, Pricevillo, held on Monday night. As the congregation came into being only after June 10. the date of the consummation of Church Union, the reports covered only the activities of the past six months. Each organization, reporting through its secretary and treasurer. gave a most creditable account of itself, and the Sunday School. Women’s Mis- sionary Society, Ladies’ Aid and Young People’s Society all indicated devoted service and liberal giving, showing a surplus in each case. The auditors’ report too, in spite of ex- ‘tra obligations, showed the finances of the congregation to be in splen- ;did condition with a balance on the )right side: on A II- Especially significant was the ro- port of the Missionary Budget or Maintenance and Extension Fund. showing the amount contributed by St. Columba congregation to be $660, about $100 beyond the alloca- tion. All in all, apart from mis- sionary givings, the congregational revenue for the six months was about $1.50). The Session rppnrtml twmty-nine new members addmi t0 the roll since Juno, and a present membership of $228. Reference, was made to the death of two most ostnomnd mem- hvrs. in the). lmrsons of Mrs. \Vil- Ham 1an and Mrs! John Burnett. Necessary appointments wem made in tho vai‘iuua boards. and hearty votes of thanks passed to the minister, organist and choir leader. USTOWEL O.H.A. TEAM HERE TOMORROW Play Return Game With Durham Intermediates in Local Arena.â€" Have Fast, Clever Team and Will Provide Good Hockey. Tomorrow (Friday? night at 8 o'clock, the curtain goes up in the local rink for the second 0. H. A. game this season, when Listowel's fast intermediates will oppose the local sextette in the race for group honors. As this game has been looked forward to with anticipation; for some weeks past, it is a fore-3 gone conclusion that a packed arena will greet the gladiators when the puck is faced at 8 o’clock. In the game at Listowel Monday night, the locals were defeated 4-1, but the score is no indication of the play. Listowel’s goalie had a Lgood many more shots to stop, but the soft ice was a distinct advantage to the heavier Listowel team. who took full advantage of it. The score ibv periods was 1,0,2-1 and 4â€"1, with Listowel leading at all. times. The Listowel team is a good one. but the locals have every hope of pulling out a winenr in tomorrow's contest. In any event, it will be a good game. ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1926. ENJOYING VISIT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA We were pleased this week to receive news of the enjoyable visit of Mrs. James HOpkins of this place with her sister in British Colum- bia and to know that she is well and able to take in all the enjoy- ments provided for her by her many friends in that part 0f‘_Canada. I. lv.-‘--r Mrs. Hopkins spent Christmas dayl in New Westminster. New Year’s in Vancouver. and is at present on a two weeks’ visit to Victoria. Dur- ing her whole visit. the weather has been warm and the winter season most auspicious for visiting. A copy of The Vancouver Daily Province of January 8 contains a very fine photo engraving of Mrs. Hepkins and her four sisters taken at Kamloops. where they met at the home of Mrs. McLean. The sisters in the photo, who met after a sep- aration of forty years. are: Mrs. A. E. Iliff. Vancouver; Mrs. D. H. Maclean, Kamloops; Mrs. J. Mack, New Westminster; Mrs. J. W. Jen- kins, Notch Hill, and Mrs. J. Hep- kins. Durham. Only last week there were four- teen Ontario ladies entertained at the home of Mrs. llifl‘, so it will be seen that though she is in a strange land. Mrs. Hopkins is meet,- ing quite a number from the Ban- ner Province during her visit. We are not informed as to the time Mrs. Honkins intends return- ing to Durham. but trust that she will continue to enjoy herself for some time in the company of her sisters whom she has not seen for so many years.

A. clash with the Lislowel team in the rink at that place on Monday night, a sneak thief or thieves en- tered the room at the Arlington Hotel used by the players and ex- tracted money from their clothing, leaving them practicaly stranded for spending money. The. theft was dis- covered immediately after the game. , far as can be ascertained. the thief after committing the robbery, made his escape from the room by a back window and the roof of a shed from which he jumped to the ground.
