The Dodge had radiâ€" ator dented, front wheel smashed up, axle broken, fender bent up and frame cracked. The Ford was also in bad shape. Both are in local garâ€" ages for repairs. Luckily none of the passengers were injured. Mr. Smith states they took the side of the road, allowing ample room to pass, but the Dodge held to the centre, and alter contact, carried the Ford back 20 or 30 feet. The Guelph chaps, we are informed, consider the Ford reâ€" sponsible for the mishap. The repair bills for both cars will amount from $300 to $400. Another Car Collision This time it was a Dodge and a Ford coupe which collided, and the scene of the accident was on the Garafraxa Road at Orchard, in front of Pinder‘s farm, about 1230 a. m.

The Guarcâ€" ian‘s sketch follows : Mr. Caldwell‘s photo is one of a dozen "Presidents of Conferences," he being President of the important Hamilton Conference. The Anniversary Services in conâ€" nection with Fairbairn Pres. Church on Sunday and Monday. last were well attended. ‘The Rev. T. Dodds of Cheltenham, brother of our own R. T., took the services in the mornâ€" ing and evening. A returned Chap lain Capt., his discourses were exâ€" ceedingly interesting, touched as they were with experiences and remâ€" iniscences at the front. The Monday evening fowl supper was held in the shed fitted up for the occasion, reâ€" pairing to the church thereafter for the intellectual feast. Rev. Mr Dodds again addressed the meeting in a viâ€" vacious manner, in which he was eqâ€" ually at home. Rev. Mr. Stewart both spoke and sang "My ain folk," "The wee house ‘mang the heather" and "Its nice to get your breakfast in your bed on Sunday morning." Mr. Ivan Seim, a divinity student, also spoke, Rev. G.S.Scott acted as chairman : Mrs. (Rev.) Dodds, an elâ€" ocutionist and singer as well, favored the audience with a couple of selecâ€" tions in each branch of entertainâ€" ment. The choir also rendered some selections very sweetly, Miss Mary Belle McEachern accompanying on the organ very creditably. Votes of thanks were moved by R. T. Dodds and Mr. Robb, to the speakers, the singers, to Mr. Ramage assisting the choir and to all who had taken part in making the meeting a success. The proceeds were so near $200.00 that we might almost call it that, acâ€" cording to Mr. Dodds. Last week‘s Christian Guardian has a fine cut of Rev.

The proceeds at the door were $24.35. The concert given in Knox Church on Friday evening last under the ausâ€" pices of the Cameron family of Durâ€" ham, in aid of the proposed Hospital, was a fair success. The various numbers given by the entertainers, considering their youth, was quite creditable and showed considerabie drilling. Rev. Mr. Cameron relieved the young people by a rather interesâ€" ting talk on his trip to California, its climate, its products, &c. It is a most wonderful manâ€"made state, exâ€" ceedingly productive but also uncomâ€" fortably hot during certain seasons. He rather disliked the climate in comparison with our own great Canâ€" adian climate inasmuch as it is sumâ€" mer, summer, summer all the time, and spring, summer, autumn, winter are all jumbled up into one season over there, which alone would be somewhat monotonous. The dry spell of weather has been broken at last and the rain is much needed, so that the Teachers‘ Conâ€" vention will be "out of it" for getting the credit.

George, son of the late Jonathan and Margarâ€" et Walmsley, was born Oct. 20th, 1862, on the farm where he died and where he spent his life with the exâ€" ception of five childhood years at the toll gate in Minto. He had been unâ€" der medical attention for severat months and was confined to bed the last six weeks, A tumor had formed and developed very rapidly the last few weeks but the immediate cause of his death was congestion of the lungs. He died on Tuesday, Oct. 3rd and was buried on Thursday in Reid‘s cemetery where his parents, two slsâ€" ters, Janet and Marian and brother Thomas are lying. The services at the house and the grave were conâ€" ducted by the Rev‘s Scott and West. Mr. Scott spoke particularly of the sleeplessness and the activity of the soul dwelling on the thought of «the need of preparation so expressed in the chorus of the hymn read ‘"‘Then O my Lord prepare My soul for that great Gay, O wash me in Thy precious blood Our beefâ€"rings have closed for the year. Pleasant social evenings were spent at A. Calder‘s and A. Ross‘ while the summer‘s business affairs were being attended to.

Hunting these grog makers in the swamps and morasses of the north is one of the most exciting and hazardous jobs that one could wis» for, and if Constable Blood can sucâ€" cessfully round up the quarry and come through with a whole skin, he will need have recourse to all the strategy and dexterity of an Indian scout.
