Another car load is ex‘ pected now at any time, and a9 they are practically disposed of. their stay here will be short. Re- cent purchasers were A. B. Me Arthur of Glen-elg, Dr. Gun . of Durham, James Dargavel of Rock Mills and James Vasey of Dor- noch. There is little or no doubt of purchasers being entitled to the refund of forty to sixty dol- lars in the event of the sale of 30,C00 cars between August 1 of last year and August 1 of this vear.

Promptiy at seven o’clock the guests were invited to the dining room, where covers were laid for eleven. The supper was exquisite in every de- tail and was served 'by the host and hostess in_their usual bright and cheery manner. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. G. D.. Stevens, Mrs Reekie and Mrs. R. S. Turnbull and daughter. Mrs. Stinson was the recipient of several beautiful and costly gifts, among them b;- ing a number of beautiful pieces of cut glass. .Theguests departed at 10.30, leaving .with the happc couple a wealth of good Wishes. Mr. \Vm. Sirrs of Unity, Sask . was in this Vicinity for 11 fev: days. He had been east to Mont- real on business and decided to make a flying visit to the hmnts of his boyhood. Prospects were good in the West for a big crop. but the late frosts have checked the growth in some places and will doubtless have an influence on reducing the outpuc. He reports his brothers, Wes. and John, in good health and doing well. He has also a good word to say for Mr. J. “7. Crawford and Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Vollett, who are also located at Unity. On Sunday evening last, .Rev. Mr Prudham preached his “going- away” sermon. It wasn't a fare- well sermon, but simply‘his last sermon as pastor of the congre- gation. He said he would give them nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary, but just a plain gospel message. It was an- earnest appeal to the congregatiom an: the most forceful we have heard him deliver. He commences his Dastorate in Wiarton on Sunday next and the new congregation will find in Mr. Prudham a man of sterling character, strong eon- victions and strong courage in the expression of his opinions. We commend him to the members 0' his new charge and wish him every success. Mr. J.

MacGregor. whose {talent as a vocalist is favorably iknown from one end of Canada to the other. VV-ith the unanimity ,of the citizens and the ability of ithe entertainers. it Was bound to gbe :a success. .and a success 3. iwas. Our predictions were right. John McIntosh. son of Alex. Mc- Intosh, a respected farmer 43 years of age. who lived a short distance from Dornoch, committed suicide yesterday morning by cui- ting his throat with a razor. He left the house about five o’clock. in the‘morning, and not return- ing for breakfast a search was made and the lifeless body was found in a swamp a short disl- ance from the house. He leaves a widow and family. N 0 reason can be assigned for the rash act be- vond a feeling of despondency over a slight abrasion he feared might turn to cancer. At the close, Rev. Father Fergu- son mad-e a brief but fervent pat- riotic address in which he com- plimented the entertainers and. audience with an unqualified exâ€" pression of praise. Rev. Mr. LeeCe, who is about to leave Pricevilln. was callel on fora short address and responded in a very happy strain. Rev. Mr. Matheson moved a vote of thanks, which was sec- onded by a half dozen members of the audience, all of whom were delighted with the night’s pro- ceedings. “'8 may refer later to Dr. Mac- donald’s address, but time preâ€" vents us now. It was first decided to hold the meeting in the Presbyterian church, but seat reservations came 'in .solfast that it was soon known the ccommodation would not be sufficient and the church shed was out in readiness by strenuous ef- forts on the part of all villagers and many from the country who lent a willing and helping hand The Hon. Dr. Jamieson was the chairman, and a most efficient one he was. But beyond the ability ,to make a meat-and timely speech there was little or no trouble. The order was excellent. and barring the merited applause, not a sound was heard. I Let us explain it in a fen words and remove the mvstery Hector McKinnon, who recently went to the froint. is :1 member of The Globe. staff. Hector is a son of Neil McKinnon, and his irresist- ible importunities resulted in '9 victory for Hector, and a large part of the credit is due to his unyielding powers of persuasion. As a public speaker who stand-3 amongst the first, if not, indeed. the first of public speakers on this continent, our general read- ers will wonder how it is that a little place like Prieeville couH manage to secure the services of a world renowned orator like Dr. Macdonald. The doctors services are sought for everywhere an:' seldom has he the time to spar' in other than the cities and larger towns. Dr. Macdonald, too. is a high-priced man, and .\'e are told that he often kr'e‘ts as mtch as a thousand dollars for :1 single lecture. How then did Priceville get such a man ‘2 is a question that may well be aske‘. The patriotic entertainment on Tuesday night at 'P‘riceville was a great success, uni as a result, the funds of the Toronto Base Bospi- tal will be increased by upwards of one hundred and sixty dollars. We predicted a success, and to people who pull together like the neonle of Priceville, the predic- tion might be made as a safe but certain guess. ‘We said in our last issue that the undertaking was wholly due to the enterprise of one man. who volunteered all expenses in con- nection with the entertainment and allowed the total proceeds to go to patriotic purposes. That one man was Dr. Lane. and he, .as Well .as citizens of the little village have reason to feel a 'just pride over the magnificent success.

The voluntary contribution amounted to more than $21. 01‘ this, about $7 were used in D3?" ing e: penses and the balance di« \‘ided equally between the {ed Cross Society and the Tobacco fund. His address here was purely of a patriotic nature, and while it could scarcely be said that he in- troduced a lot of new matter, hr: preszntation of the facts were so lucid that all went home with a clearer and better understanding of th‘. origin and progress of th-., war, and the imperative need 21' rendering assistance by these unable to do duty in the trenches.
