The tour were charged ty Lacense Inspector White with beâ€" ing drunk. Each swore that he had seen a bottle of liquor in the rear of a store and had taken a drink} without any invitation. They denied point blank that they were intoxicated and then sat back exzpecting the case to fall through, On the advice .of the proâ€" secuting attorney, Mr. 0. E. Klein, Mr. White laid a second charge under section 47 of the Act, which prohibits drinking any place except in one‘s own peivate residence. Three of the deâ€" fendants were found guilty under this clauseand paid $50 and costs each. VOL.

Weir this week from the sergeaut of the company in which hisson was serâ€" viog. _ Who could read it without emotion? John was amongst the first to respond to his country‘s call for +eâ€" cruirs and has seen almost two years of service, He has passed from aâ€" mongst us, but the hato of the hero surrounds his mewory. Intense symâ€" pathy will be extended to Mr. Weir, bereft of father and son within a week, to his brother Wm., sisters Ethel and Lizzie and other relatives of deceased, who will mourn the lo«s of the loying boy, yet rejoice that he nobly lived and bravely died. John was but 21 yvears of age and previous to his enlistment in January 1915, he spent his life at his home on the 3rd con., Glenelg, three miles east of Durham. His cheery presence and kindness of heart made him a general favorite among the young people and wherever known, anod the same qualiâ€" ties he evidently carried with him at battle front. _ After six short months of training, he went to the front in France on July 18, 1915 _ For over fourteen montbs he lived amid the cannon‘s roar and paesed through seyâ€" eral hard engagements, until the end came in the world‘s greatest battle at the Somme. The letter reads : 27003, Sergt, Geo, Allan, trenade Co., 13th Battalion, 1st Can, Div., B. E, F., France Just a few lines to inform you that your son John was killed in action on the 26th inst. He was in my Company, so I thought I would let you know just how it happened. Mr Wm. Weir, Durham, Ont Dear Sir He was one of my best men ; a good soldier brave and willing, fearing nothâ€" ing. _ I can‘t say too mueh good about Johnnie, as we always called him, for 1 never had to even check him. He was wellâ€"liked by everyone in the Company, and I am very sorry to break the sad news to you, but I think it better that you should know. It was like this. I got my orders to send a squad of bombers forward with the first line in the attack on the Ger man trenches, so I picked out the squadâ€" that John was in, knowing well that I could rely on them doing it. They did do it too, but lost heavily. John was the first man in the German trench and did splendid work with his bombs and bayonet. But alas, he went a little too fast, and got shot through the head by a sniper and died instantly. The rest of the squad carried the trenc}"’n. In a few minutes not a German was left alive but only four of my men got back safe. It was a splendid attack, and we took three lines of trenches at one run, first one and then another. 1 went back to where John was killed and got his folder of photos and his hat badge, which I will send to you, they being all that I could get worth sending. I hope this will find you in the best of health in your sad bereavement. Oa page 5, will be found the second of the prize essays on the History of Pricevilie, competing for the prize ofâ€" fered by the Reyiew at Priceville Fair Mr McDonald bhas recorded a multiâ€" plicity of facts of historical value and taken along with Miss Ferguson‘s papâ€" er published last week, brings the career of the little village vividly beâ€" fore us. We are indebted to both writers for the trouble they heve taken to present the facts. both we are sure having done it as a labor of love. Howeyver neither have recorded that Priceville at one time had ambitions to be county town, a good reason that it was the geographical centre of the county at that time. Another incident too is overlooked, that for 6 months in 1868, the ‘Priceville Courier‘ flourished and faded, and the printer‘s devil of those days, now writing these lines, feels that this was an important omission, Not & word of Loudon, S. 8. Superintencant Harness maker, Postmaster, Bible Deâ€" positary man Publisher, Chief factotâ€" um of the village and firstâ€"class rogue! Then we think there should be more notice of John McArthur who ‘or manyâ€"years bulked largely in the life of the village and was warden of the county, of McKay who in 1868 put up a stearm sawâ€"mill of the loog steady honorable citizenship of C. E. James who died less than a year ago. and of Mrs Butters who so long kept the bostelry of the place. Th: Late Pte. John Weir History of Priceville.

Liberals were blamed for a yearly exâ€" penditure of $89,000,000 ia 1911â€"in 1914 and before the war too, it jumped up to $130,000,000 a year. He told with pride of the failure of the Borden Commisâ€" sion appointed to find Liberal scandal® in the departments but finding none: If the editor of the News had the slightâ€" est idea of honorable politics he would be ashamed as many Conservatives were, at the insulting referemces he makes to Laurier, the man he once lauded in his book, and now because of pique and disappointed personal ambiâ€" tion, tries to defame.

With which is incorporated the Holstein Leader We publish below an article taken from last week‘s Amherst News, so appreciative to our boys that. foreyer after, they and we will have a warm spot in our hearts tor these dwellers by the sea. The article closes with a full list of ocfficers. "Again Amberst extends the strong etaunch hand of geruine welcome to a newly arrived battalion. On Sunâ€" day afternoon, the 147th Battalion (Canadian Greys) arrived in Amberst. All at that time were strangers, but such a condition of affairs exists on longer. Amberst literaily clasped the Ontario lads with open arms. Sunday eyening and on Monday, the News was glad to note that the khaki coated warriors, were on the best of terms with the citizens of this town; masculine and feminine. On various occasions during the past summer, the first town in the Province of Novia Scotia, has welcomed Onâ€" tario battalions,. Firstcame the 123rd Royal Grenadiers, next the 12h Briâ€" gade, C, F,. A. from Pebtawawa, comâ€" prising the 47th., 48 h ,49th., and 54th Batteries along with the Brigrade Amâ€" munition column, Last but not least comes the 147th, As we haye stated they have already attained a high deâ€" gree of popularity. Under the command of Lieut. Col MceFarland, the battalion was recruited in Grey County, Ontarioâ€"and consists of one immense happy family prepared to engraye deep upon the batcle fields of Europe, the warring name of Canaâ€" da, Well have they been trained to do so. At Camp Borden, the Greys won the bayonet fighting championship. A great honor, considering the fact that other regiments innumerable, were atriving for the same position of merit. Out pointing and out fighting in a sportsmanlike style the Canadian Greys came out on top, Conversing with a number of the N. C, O.‘s last evening, the first question that the soldiers asked the Newsman concerned sport, *‘Football or lacrosse we can raise a team that will deâ€" feat practically any other aggregation in the Dominion,.!" ...Our readers who have followed the activities of Upper Canadian Battalions in the Toronto papers, will pronounce this to be the solemn truth The Battalion bands>are excellent, The bugle band cannot be eclipsed, Lhis was the verdict rendered by proâ€" minent local musicians. The result of a lengthy period of training, is plainly shown by the vetâ€" eran like swing and air of the marchâ€" ing soidiers, Oae and all are ready for active service, Farthermore they awre eager to cross the water, and enâ€" gage in conflict wi h the barbarous Boche. Another thing impressed us. It was the display of good feeling between officers and men, Familiarity with the 147th doesn‘t breed contempt. Disâ€" ciplime is maintained. but not of the iron handed kind, Rather itresembles that of a large office. Every man working as one, with the definite aim of success constantly in yiew, In closing, the town of Amherst, the News and its readers, extend to the Canadian Greys a sincere and bhearty welcome to the town.

Communion services in Presbyterian Church on Sunday last were marked by intemse interest owing to the presence of the veteran Foreign Secâ€" retary, Dr. McKay, Oyer 300 comâ€" municants obseryed the "Do this in remembrance of me," and the sermon was a classic fitting in with the obâ€" servance of the day admirably. He took his text from Phil, 4:4, "Reâ€" joice, in the Lord alway, and again ) say rejoice," and seldom was the topic of "Christian Joy" more lovingly preâ€" sented. Jay was universal, even in nature, there was joy in sunlight, in the dancing of rippling waters, in the breezes that blow, etc. Joy was still more marked in the lower animals, especially in youth, surely then in man, who in addition to physical charâ€" acteristics, has higher intellectual and spiritual qualities, should be found jov. The fact that God has made nature, our physical and intellectual and social qualities, contributory to our joys, and above all has revealed Himself a God of love and mercy, should lead us to follow the injunction of the text, ‘"Rejoice in the Lord alâ€" Wlly." Soloman tasted as no man ever did, all sensual pleasures and declared them vanity. The rich man lost his soul because not rich toward God,. The Christian should joy because he had God himsalf, because of what He does for us, because we are permitted to do something for Him,. HMe made an earnest appeal to help somebody and feel the joy, the joy that comes from "Service." God commands us, to be joyful, it is necessary, and it is poisonâ€" Rev. R. P. Mckay D. D.
