We mourn for one we dearly loved,
For one we could not save;
Beloved in life and mourned in death
Remembered in the grave.
His loving voice we will ne'er forget
Though years may pass away;
The loss of him we sadly -feel
As keen as that first day.
When all is still and silent,
And sleep forsakes the eyes*,
Our thoughts are in a silent grave
Where our dear father lies.
Ever remembered by his Wife

A very interesting and delightful
travelogue was given in Cromarty
church on Friday
Mamie Pridham,
former teacher in
School. Starting
Monument in Orillia she took her
audience west to Vancouver. Chief
ly enjoyed were the scenes of Brit
ish Columbia and the Rockies. From
Vancouver on south through
States to Los Angeles with all
beautiful places, then across
desert to visit and learn much of
celebrated Bouldei’ Dam, also Yel
lowstone Park with all its wonders.
Then across United States taking in
mainly places of interest, then ar
riving in New York City and finally
crossing home to Canada by way
of Niagara Falls. The audience got
some idea of the magnificent grand
eur of our own glorius country, as
nothing seemed to surpass the glory
of our Rockies or Niagara Falls.
The views were all colored and were
taken by Miss Pridham herself and
her descriptions and explanations
held her audience spell-bound. She
travelled 10,000 miles and although
accompanied by three other
drove her car herself.
