OW :2z OPEC S One of the eldest settlers on the 3rd eon. of Glenelg, E. G. R., passed from the scene on Sunday last : John Weir fell with the falling of the leaf and fell at the ripe age of 81. For several years past age and infirmities were telling upâ€" on him and death came at last, not as the king of terrors but as the gentle messenger of peace and rest. John Weir was a man of more than ordinary intelligence. _ In the days of his physical snd mental strength, one could not talk with him five minutes without discovering a superior intellect, a well stored mind, and altogether one whose jadgement it was felt could be relied on. He was a Liberal in politics, Presbyterian in religion and a faithful attendant on ordinances in the days of his strength. _ He was one of the trusâ€" tees of Durham Presbyterian church, Deceased was a native of Roxburghâ€" shire, Scotland, and came to Canada with his parents and family in 1852, and after some years in the neighbor. hood of Hamilton, moved to Glenelg where he married, his wife being a Miss Weir from the same old country neighâ€" borhood and she sarvives him. To them were born tiree sons and three daughters, five surviving ; Adam in O. Sound, John in Egremont, ‘Wm. on the home farm, Mrs Jas Atkinson, Toronto, Mrs Jos. Atkinson, Glenelg. The daughâ€" ter deceased was Mrs. W. J. Davis who died in 1902. . His only surviving brothâ€" er Adam lives in town. Interment took place on Tuesday to Trinity cemetery near by, Rev. Mr. Whaley, the pastor, conducting the mortwary services. The funcral was one of the largest ever seen in the disâ€" trict and many floral offerings testi fied of love and respect. _ The pall bearers were his three sons Adam, Wm., John, three songâ€"inâ€"law, Jas. and Jos. Atkinâ€" son, W. J. Davis. This is the measure of th: corporate life of the Mcthodist church at Orchard at present under the capable care of Mr Wim. Falkingham of town, and Sunday and Monday last it was fAttingly observâ€" ed ; on the sacred day by earnest disâ€" courses by Rev. Mr. Stewart of Drew circuit and on Moxiday evening by a gathering of a social character, which was also eminently success{ul. The church on Monday evening was crowded to the doors after the function of a fowl supper of an excellent characâ€" ter in the hall near by, was through. Dr. Jamieson, M. P. P., was in the chair and ably filled the position, by appropriate remarks. Rev. Mr. lbbott, Holstein, gave an interesting patriotic adaress and equally so was that of Rev. Mr. Moyer of Durham. The local choir was at its best, winning commendation from the chairman and others and after dispersior it was generally voted that it was the best of all the anniversaries yet held. Proceeds of admission amounted to $52.00. Inxp:axs Sex Mico Wisteér.â€" lIndiâ€" ans assert that the coming winter will be one of the mildest in recent years. They base their assertion on the folâ€" lowing signs; The oaks have no acorns the squirrels are seldom seen, muskâ€" rats have not started to build, furâ€" bearing animals have thin coats, bark on poplar trees is loose, There are some other signs they go by for their assertions that the winter will be mild and short. They are seldom wrong. Rev, Mr. Whaley preached a striking Thanksgiving sermon on Sunday mornâ€" ing finding reasons for thankfuiness in directions not usually looked for. _ He gave due prominence to the temporal and material prosperity of our Dominâ€" ion whose business in spite of war was increasing. _ Apart from this there was reason for thankfulness over recent victories at elections in Br. Columbia and Manitoba showing that the hearts of the people were sound. Leaders and governments were not primarily to blame for corruption but a class of voters who can never perform national duty without the hand being out. The progress of the temperance movement gave eause for thankfulness but it was a slap in the face to God to consider it as merely a war measâ€" ure. â€" A return to license would make conditions worse than everâ€"a case of Ephraim joined to he: idols. _ It was the duty of citizens to keep the law, help to enforce it and be sympathctic with those who have the habit. It was cause of thank{ulaess that in this world war our people have not been found wanting, when nearly 400,000 have taken up arms without conscripâ€" tion. â€" There was one blight or stain upon this record that in Quebec there are those whose aims and actions paraâ€" lyze even the efforts of the government. He made an earnest appeal to all to enlist under the Recruiting Sergeant, Jesus Christ for how can we assure the boys that we believe in their fidelity if we have not enlisted ourselves under the banner of the Cross.

R. train to enable them to reach their battalion for the final move cast totide water. _ There was a tense feeling in many homes where boys were leaving, perhaps never to return, and this feeling pervaded the town. _ Smail wonder then that an hour before train time, men, women, boys and girls, were found wending their way to the station where an impromptu open air mecting was organized. Mayor Hunter presided and called upon Mr. Wim. Calder and Revd‘s Mills of Dornoch and Wylie, Moyer and Whaley of Durham. _ All had encouragâ€" ing words for the boys who were leayâ€" ing, lauded their patriotism and had comforting words for the friends at home. Mr Whaley was in the midst of some cloquent utterances when the whistle sounded and from that on till all went aboard there were aifecting seenes and many eyes suffused with tears, as they took a long tender good bye of loved ones soon to be far from home and home land. The crowd at the station was admitâ€" ted to be the largest ever seen here, numbering perhaps a thousand or more, That the boys are not forgetting home is certain for quite a number of cards have been received written on train or from "Somewhere in Quebec," etc, They are in good spirits, and, voicing the common feeling, we wish them all a safe transit to their new quarters where ever that may be, an opportunity to be useful, a share in final victory and a sweet and safe return. The British Red Cross Appeal which appears on page 8 of this issue should be met by wsliberal response,. The need is greater than ever, The sucâ€" cusses of the Allies during the last three months, has producged an easy feeling that may have prompted a letâ€" up in the giving. This must not be: these very successes, as the long casuâ€" ality lists show are multiplying the work of the KRed Gross agencies, and as the British Red Cross is a well or. ganized and effective institution, lookâ€" ing after Canadians as well as Britishâ€" ers, its fuads should not be allowed to fail, Affecting Scenes at Station in 1913, the appeal realized $1,514, 060; in proportion to the needs the 1916 appeal on 19thOctober (next 'I‘hurflda.y) should be two million dollars at least‘ TOWN HALL, DURHAM, on MONDAY, 1646 OCTOBER, 1916 Pomona budget arrived too late for publication.
