Mr and Mrs Donald McMillan and three children of Portage la Prairie, are visiting their former homes at Messrs Donald McMillan‘s and John Burnett‘s S. Line. Miss Beatrice Bushell of Holland Centre spent the week end with Miss Doris McLean. The Presbyterian congregation will hold their annual meeting Friday of this week. The result of the vote on Church Union will be announced at the close of the meeting as the poll closes at 4 p.m. that day. A regrettable accident happened to Mrs Colin McLean of the village Monday morning when she slipped on the kitchen floor, breaking her leg above the ankle. Drâ€"Carr was called and decided to take her to Durham Hospital for an X ray examâ€" ination to ascertain the extent of the fracture. Miss Sadie McKinnon was able to return home from Durham hospital Saturday. She has recovered nicely from her operation. Miss Delia McPhail has returned to Toronto. Miss McFarlane, principal of the school, is back on duty this week. Mr Allie Mcinnis made a business trip to Toronto Saturday last. An enjoyable evening was spent on Friday last at the home of Mr Alex. MceDonald, S.L., when the D. R. Young People‘s Club met affd spent the evening in music and dancing. PRICEVILLE & GLENELG Entertainments in general are a thing of the past but the youth of Edge Hill are keeping up in a manner the pleasure of assembling «at No. 3 school for the purpose of a good deâ€" bate, so the old version "let the young people mind what the old ones say" may be reversed by "the old folks mind what their youngsters do". If the older people of some 50 or 60 years ago had indulged in the pracâ€" tice of debating, there would not be so many old heads afraid to stand on a platform to do as much as second a motion. As an old councillor at nomination used to say "Gentlemen, I have a lot to say down my throat, but cannot get it out", but for all that, this poor old councillior served faithâ€" fully for 30 years irrespective of his platform ability. Thus the old copy lines of the days of our youth may be repeated, that "a man of words and not of deeds, is like a garden full of weeds". However all our gardens at present are full of snow, and no one can see where the weeds are. There is great excitement at presâ€" ent about church union, some as it were, saying ‘we are of Paul‘ and others may say ‘we are of Apollis‘. We are Presbyterians and we don‘t want to give up the good old name of the church of our forefathers. In the church where we spent our youthâ€" The election excitement is over for another year. Those elected to stay at home in some instances are more possessed with the necessary sualifiâ€" cations to fill the office than those elected, but in all cases the majority rules. His passing is a distinct loss to the village and community and the sympathy of all go out to the family which have been so suddenly berâ€" eaved. The family consistes of three sons, Elmer, Wilfrid and Murray, and two daughters, Violet and Ethel, also two brothersâ€"Chas. of Saugeen Junction and Wm. of Egremont. The sisters are Mrs Hooper and Mrs. Long, Toronto : Mrs Thos Tucker, S. Glenelg ; Mrs Amos Chislett, Caliâ€" fornia. The funeral on Tuesday to McNeil‘s cemetery will be conducted under Masonic auspices, the deceasâ€" ed being a â€" member and P. M. of Prince _ Arthur Lodge, Flesherton. Rev. A. Sutherland will preach the sermon. Thus we are by this sudden calling reminded of those words, "Be ye also ready, for ye know not the day nor the hour when the Son of Man cometh. Sudden was the call to Mr Geo. A. Watson, a respected citizen of this village, who passed away on Sunday morning at 3 a.m. at Dromore. He had driven there Saturday to visit some relatives, feeling as well as usâ€" ual and suddenly at 3.30 o‘clock that afternoon he was stricken with parâ€" alysis, remaining unconscious to the last. Mr Watson was well and widâ€" ely known, being one of the wellâ€" known family of Egremont Tp., beâ€" ing born on the 21st con, of that Tp. 57 years ago. As a young man he learned the trade of blacksmithing, serving his apprenticeship with Mr. John Renton of Dromore. Later he followed carpentering as the family were all expert carpenters. For quite a period of years he has been enâ€" gaged in the sawmilling business. About 10 years ago he bought the Priceville mill and he and his sons, Elmer and Wilfrid carried on a sawâ€" mill and chopping business, later adâ€" ding a planer and shingle mill. Mr. Watson was a real mechanic and whatever he did was well done. About two years ago he had an atâ€" tack of the same trouble but recovâ€" ered nicely and was able to look aftâ€" er the business. His wife died dwrâ€" ing the flu epidemic six years ago. PRICEVILLE h5«2%~ Mr and Mrs Geo. Ritchie enterâ€" tained a few the other evening and we beg to be excused if not complyâ€" ing with the invitation _ of being there on account of not feeling too good. Mr John Firth‘s hand is mending well but will take him some time beâ€" fore he can use it. Mrs McPherson and Miss Ada Mcâ€" Lean of Toronto and Mrs McCannel and Miss Margaret McLean of Durâ€" ham, were guests of the McDonald‘s, Edge Hill, one afternoon last week. Mr Hermie Burnet of con 4, Glenâ€" elg, has a sick horse which puzzled the Vets to know what was the matâ€" ter with it. The veteran late clerk of Glenelg cast his first vote in 40 years last Monday, Jan. 5th We hope the good aged pioneer will be yet permitted to cast many votes. A township clerk is prohibited from voting, in case of two candidates being ties they are requqgired _ to give the casting vote. As an old member of (Glenelg Council many years ago we had the only experience in Glenelg of being ties, as we and the late Jas Lauder received the same number of votes. The good old clerk Mr James Briwn had to give the preference to the late member by giving him the casting vote as he thought we were too young to knock out an old offiâ€" cer. , The mercury «went down to 10 beâ€" low zero Sunday night. We hear that Mrs Jno MceMillan, S. Line, Artemesia, has come to reâ€" side with Mr and Mrs Arch McKinâ€" non for the winter months. We are assured that Mrs McMillan will be well cared for by her dutiful daugh ter and we are pleased to hear she is getting better. We are again reminded of the unâ€" certainty of life. The aged pioneers are passing away fast on the North Line, Glenelg, as was seen in last week‘s paper, in the passing away of Donald McGillivray and Norman Mc Millan. A few months ago Duncan McArthur passed away. These were some of the first to come to the N. Line when very young about 75 yrs ago. During 1924 there passed away in Glenelg Donald McArthur and sisâ€" ter, Mrs Alex Livingstone, Miss M. McDougall, Mr Patrick Haley, Mr D. McKechnie, Sr.: Mrs Neil Black : Mr Neil McGillivray : Mrs Jno. Mcâ€" Arthur con 4, Glenelg : Arch Mcâ€" Millan, con 2, NDR : Mrs Thos Mcâ€" Keown, Durham Rd : John McColl : Hector Campbell, 107 years old : Miss Beaton, daughter of Mr and Mrs Arch. Beaton. * Mr Henry Williams of Edge Hill is laid up for the past 3 weeks with a complication of ailments but is getâ€" tng better again. n Lots 1 and 2, Garafraxa St. Edst, containing half acre. Two storey cotâ€" tage with nine rooms, barn 18 x 24 feet, hard and soft water, and a great variety of fruit. For further particuâ€" lars apply to Mr Colin McArthur of the 10th con., (Glenelg, is at present doing some work for his sonâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Arthur Edge of Edge Hill Colin gave us a pleasant call when delivâ€" ering his ballot box. He can conâ€" verse in the language of his foreâ€" fathers very good. (the Gaelic.) But those two Presbyterian churchâ€" es at Priceville were united and pastorate of the united body in the person of the late Rev. Don. McLeod. Some of the inquistive old heads oftâ€" en would ask him what college he was educated in. He simply ans wered them hy telling them they could ask him questions that would be more profitable to them than to find out what college he was educatâ€" ed in so he didn‘t make them any the _ wiser. Mr McLeod â€" labored faithfully in the United Church for 19 years and his remains are laid to rest in the old graveyard at the old kirk. But after poor old Rory departed this life many years ago, his reâ€" mains were laid to rest in the old kirk cemetery, so if he had his wishâ€" es fulfilled he would be laid to rest in the stony graveyard on Smellie‘s place, On the other hand old Jim of the old kirk repeatedly said we are good enough, without united with the free church and he didn‘t want to forsake the good old church of Scotland by being united with the Free Church. So these two old vetâ€" erans of long ago have passed, no doubt, to the church above and they find that there is no difference there, no matter what church they belong to while here below. So it will be with those churches that are making so much ado about Union. When all shall pass away the question will not be which church you belong to but were you a christâ€" ian ?° Whether you were a Catholic or Protestant it matters not. ful days in the town of Priceville, there were two Presbyterian churchâ€" es fifty years ago, the old Established church of Scotland, and the Free Church. _ When the vote was taken on Union in 1878$ between the two bodies. Two old heads, one named "Rory" and the other old "Jim" got together and Rory said if he never heard a sermon he would not go inâ€" side the old church to hear one but would. walk 3 miles from the East and go another 3 miles to the west to the Free Church like as there was a different God to worship in the Free Church. THE DURHAM REVIEW John Legate, Durham FOR SALE TORONTO / locality, Mr Richard Heard, one well known in the Township. He was very suddenly called on Sunday morâ€" ning last, which was a shock, not .only to the family but to the neighâ€" bors as well, as few knew that he was ailing. Mr Heard had a cold and for a few days was in bed, but was again able to be up and around the house. On Sunday morning, getâ€" ting up at the usualâ€"time, and while | in the act of dressing, he collapsed, sank down on the floor and was dead without a struggle. Mrs Heard | who was in an adjoining room, heard him make a slight noise and rushed ‘in to find the spirit had fled. Mr Wm French, of Elora, spent a few days with his aunt and uncle, Mr and Mrs D. Hamilton. On Friday evening last friends and neighbors of Mr and Mrs John Mcâ€" Gillivray met at the home of the bride‘s parents, Mr and Mrs Thos. Davis. Reeve Wm Weir acted as Chairman and called Mr=and Mrs. McGillivray to come forward . A neatly prepared address was read by Miss Eliza Patterson, and Misses M. McGirr and M. Newell presented them with a cabinet of silver and a mantel clock. Mr. McGillivray on behalf of himself and wife, thanked the friends and neighbors for their kindness. Short addresses were givâ€" en by Wm Edge, Jno. McFayden and others. ‘The remainder of the evenâ€" ing was spent in dancing till the wee sma‘ hours. M Alfred Noble has returned home after spending a couple of months with his brotherâ€"indaw, Jno. McGirr. Mrs McPherson and Miss Ada Mcâ€" Lean, Toronto, have returned after spending a week with the former‘s sister, Mrs Neil McCannel. Mrs. Frank Gow and children, Ferâ€" gus, are visiting her mother, Mrs Jas Riddell. Mr and Mrs Albert Riddell, Luther, were also recent visitors at the parental home. Mr Robt. Baird of North Dakota, is spending a few days with his brotherâ€"inâ€"law Mr David Hamilton. Mr Ranald Martin of Toronto, is spending a few days with his sister, Mrs Robt. McFadden. &!

Misses Ruby and Nellie Haw have gone to the city for a visit. "-l-(r“AT;x Stewart has left to attend Normal School at North Bay. _ _ Mrs Watson, Sr. at present is very low. Her son Leslie and > wife of Dundalk, are at present waiting upon her and Dr Carter is in charge. Mr Heard was in his $1st year, had always been active and healthy and had evidently finished his earthily work and his Lord called him up higher Quietly and conscientiously he lived his life and quietly he was called away. _ All who knew Mr. Heard will mourn his sudden death, but all are the better who have notâ€" iced his quiet and consistent life for they must have benefitted thereby. For 56 years he has lived in our midst and was always industrious and diligent in business and was a kind, obliging neighbor and friend. He leaves as chief mourners his wife who will greatly miss him, as since the family grew up they have especâ€" ially enjoyed life together in their retirement, and three daughters, viz: Mrs Hatton, Toronto : Edith, Mrs. Scott, Proton : Sarah, Mrs Thos. Weir, N. Egremont. Also seven sons, viz : John and Wm. in Saskatchewan, George and Seymour in Toronto : Dick in Fordwich : Wesley on the farm abutting and Ed. on the home farm. All are amarried excepting Seymour, the youngest, who is studâ€" ying for a druggist in Toronto. They will all miss their father very much. But they can think of the exemplary life which they have seen lived and think of the lessons they have been taught with gladness. There are aiâ€" so two aged sisters in Proton, Mrs. Kinsman and Mrs Scott, along with other members of the family in Durâ€" ham County. One son Howard died 4 years ago in young manhood. The funeral will be Wednesday at 1 p.m. to Salem Methodist church and interment in the cemetery on their farm. Rev. Mr Curran, their pastor, will be the officiating clergyâ€" man and Mr Watson, undertaker of Pricewille, in charge. _ Misses Ellie Sturrock and Gladys Ferguson, were recent holiday visitâ€" ors at their respective homes. .

I would be pleased to take one back, and if there is any lady in the audience who will come with me will she kindly step forward to the platform ?" On two occasions the Premier took this desperate chance. Twice there was no response. This may be no compliment to the Premier. Again, it may be due to bashfulness, and hundreds of ladies of the north end of Vancouver Island may in years to come tell of how they once received a proposal from the Prime Minister of Canada, omitting the little detail that it was a collectâ€" ive proposal. PREMIER KING ACTUALLY PRO. POSED MA_RRIAGE i Right Hon. Lyon McKenzie King, Premier of Canada, it has just leakâ€" ed out, all but took a reckless plunge into the sea of matrimony during his tour of Western Canada. _ When he visited the Comaxâ€"Alberni district, A. W. Neill, the independent member of that constituency, was on his platâ€" form, and as the premier had much to say on his cabinet and how it repâ€" resented every portion of Canada, Mr Neil took up the same subject. "It lacked only one thing," he said : "the finishing touch of a lady‘s hand." He proceeded to chide the bachelor premâ€" ier and Mr King, when he rose to speak, also rose to the occasion.
