D., forzo‘ years a Missionary in China, appeared at the Thankâ€"offering meeting of the Women‘s Missionary Society in the Presbyterian Charch ard for an bour gave a graphic presentation of Misâ€" sionary work in that vast connutry. He portrayed the political divisions of the country, but dealt chiefly with Honan, where the Presbyterian church has an extensiye feld, ministers, misâ€" sionaries and nature workers being even gathered into Presbyteries. The troubles of the Boxer rebellion and the gains made since the early persecuting days made an interesting story The collection amounted to $50, the largest in the history of the local branch. Hxypgoâ€"Rapiars.â€"â€"Some activity is being shown in this question in regard ‘ to branches from Guelph nortaward . Durham is so vitally Interested in this matter that our Board of Trade! should keep its ear to the ground for possible developments and be ready to act when and where necessary,. A meeting is being beld in the offices in Toronto toâ€"day, invitations to which were sent out some time ago we be lieve. Facts and figures from nearly ail districts as to possible trade are at headquarters, but of course fnal ulti~ mate action will depend on the rateâ€" payers of the various wunicipalities at the polls. Ruepuwore» on Lovautyâ€"Walkerâ€" ton planned to raise $3000 by gubscripâ€" ‘ tion to the Trafalgar Day Fund but reached only the $2,100 mark. At a meeting of the committees at night, two of the councillors it!was found did noc contribute. One satisfactorily ex. plained his reason but the othcr, John Douglas, whom the meeting believed able to contribuate, gave no explanaâ€" tion of his action. _ A resolution was passed requesting him to resign bis seat at the Council Board. On being interyiewed, Mr Douglas refused to resign, claiming he acted in his capaâ€" city as a private citizen, none bad a right to criticize his action and he was the keeper of his own conscience. PLUCK MADE UP FOR LACK oF Hmr1out. â€" Mijor (General Sir Sam Hughes is very popular with at least one soldier in training at Owen Sound, Pre. William Coffic, of Hanover, Cofâ€" fie is but a shade over Ave feet in heigh:, and whe! he went to the reâ€" craiting station was tut ned down for his Iack of stature, being nearly two webes short. Some time afterwards Goffi> overheard a man of Teutonic origin make some slighting remark about the Canadian soldiers, and though his opponent overtopped him ‘ by nearly a foot, he gave him a sound pummelling, all of which R. J. Ball, M. P., a resident of Hanover, learned i~n due time. At last he sent a personâ€" a\ letter with the facts of the case to CGaneral Hugaas and the result was tnat in a few days an order came from the head of the Militia Department, autborizing COoffic to be taken on the overseas forces. And now it is Pte. Coffe, short but stocky, delighted and diligent, doing his drill with the latest B iucks @rey county quota. Almost 250 men are now in training at Owen Sound and 100 more have enâ€" listed but are not yet in training throughout Grey County, so the camâ€" paign of the Grey Uo. recruiting League has shown splendid results so far. It is expected over 400 will have enlisted in this quota by Ohristmas. Mak® 1t 500.â€"The campaign of the Grey County recruiting league to raise 250 men additional has met with much success, and present appearancâ€" es are that the number may reach 400, some optimists even putting down 500 as a possible, The meetings of the County League are over and it is hoped the branch leagues will now get in some good work. Tur Batti® Lisxg ix" OxTarmiO.â€" Local option contests are being carried on in no fewer than seven cities; Belleâ€" ville, Fort William, Port Arthur, Barâ€" nia, Niagara Falls, Stratford, Peterâ€" borough. 8 towns : Aurora, North Bay, O â€"hawa, Parkhill, Parry Sound, Uxbridg», Wallsceburg, Whitby, Also in 9 villages aad 12 townships. The war agaiost the waste of liquor drinkâ€" ing in m iterial resoarces and in humâ€" an lives goes steadily on In writing up some of the Owen Sound recruits, the Times thus refers to an old Durham boy : "Karl Len ahan: Stepped out from behind the drug eoun‘ ter and got into uniform in the ranks‘ best little hockey goal keeper in this section of Ontario, and a good, steady baseball player. Me had been playing these games for many years and has made good just as he will make an ex® cellent soldier. For he is in carnest in anything he starts. He came original" ly from Durham. He is a member of last year‘s junior hockey team that feil one goal short of the championship." Gave up CommIssio®.â€"Lieut. Don. L. McKinnon, of Priceville, who enâ€" listed in the Army Service Corps, and was training at Quebec, has thrown up his commussion as a lieutenant and came to Ottawa, where he enlisted as a private in the Signalling Division, Canâ€" adian Engineers. There were too many on the waiting list ahead of him and Dona‘ld believing more men are needed at the front, took a quicker route to get there. He has been warmly commendâ€" ed by many of the higher officers upon his action, having shown himself to be the stamp of man required, one who will sacrifice rank that he might the more readily and opportunely serve his country. _ Many South Grey friends will also appreciate his stand and watch his future career with interest. w# # 4 This week with great care we have gorrected our mailing sheet and as usuâ€" aliif an overlook has occurred, we ask you to let us know now, not next year. We are anxious to have a correet list and a clean list, 1. e. well paid up and we would ask attention to this from those who are in arrears. Look at your label. f J, P.

Kiein of Walkerâ€" ton appeared for Wilson and bad ano upâ€"hbill fight, forgetting sometimes the dignity due to his position, especially when in ezamising Constable Arrowâ€" smith bhe had the effrontery to doubt his veracity, for which he was rebuked his yeracity, to! by Mr Laidiaw. it dincaciathe sc He made an impassioned appeal for his client in summing up but the court held that the charge bhad been proved and imposed a fne of $50 and costs.

Rev. J. B, Browa of Keady preached morning and evening to good siged appreciative congregations. On Monâ€" day evening eupper was served in the schoolhouse followed by a patriotic program in the church, â€" The great feature of the program was an address by Rev. J, K.@Fairfuil of Clinton on "Fighting Machines and how to use them." Mr. Fairfull delivered a most eloquent and slirring address, proving by his masterly handling of his subâ€" ject the knowledge of the expert and the brilliance of the orator,. _ All were agreed that instruction of a high deâ€" gree was received at the hands of the speaker. _ Addresses were also giyen by Rov‘s Browu, Wylie and Philpotts which were most seceptable, The program was brightened most considerably by the music provided by the friends from Duarham and RHanâ€" over, The work of ‘he Durham quar? tette, (Misses L. Waiker and J. Wylie and Messrs A. Bell and T.

On Wednesday last, 20th Oct. at 4,30 p ro a pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Jos, Atâ€" kinson, Edge HIlil, when their elder daughter Anoie was united in wed. lock‘s bonds to Mr Jaseph E Patterson from No, 9 section. Under an arch of evergreens, beaut: ifully decorated with autumn leaves, the groom took his appointed place at the proper time and presently the bride came forward on the arm of her father who gave hbher away before a large number of guests to the number of about one hundred _ Miss May Patâ€" terson. sister of the groom, presided atthe organ, playing Wagners‘ Loâ€" hengrins wedding march while Rey Mr Mortis, the bride‘s pastor, presenâ€" ted the solemn vows which declared them man snd wife.

Pattersonâ€"Atkinson Nuptials The brides wedding gown was a handsome creation of iyory duchess satin, trimmed with smocking, pearls and lace, the reguiation bridal yeil decâ€" ovated with orange blossoms, and carâ€" ried a boquet of hilliecs of the valley and maiden bair fern. The gifts were varied and beautiful testifying to the worth of both and which will adorn their futare home on the. 2nd con. in the house formerly ocâ€" cupied by the late Mr, Robt. Hewitt. The groom‘s gift to the bride was a gold watch and chain and to the orâ€" ganist a gold necklace set with pearls.

The largest crowd we think that ever gathered at the C. P. R. station was that of Thursday night last.
