Mr. Smith had been contemplating such a move, but the cost was prohibitive it was.'pointed out.

' Action Did Not Concern Fatalities The $300. damages recently award­ ed Miss Louisa MacDonald were for personal injuries, as the action, brought on by. JWiss... MacDonald, did not concern the fatalities resulting from the accident, but', rather the injuries she received herself.

Editor of the Sentinel: A recent reminiscent sketch of mine in the Sentinel referring to Holyrood, contained a slip (my mis­ take this time) in the name of the secretary of the School Hoard, which I should like to correct. Instead of Alexander 'Campbell, it should have been Andrew T., or as he commonly signed it, • A. T. Campbell. I was gla'd to have my attention called to the error, especially as the good lady Who noticed it happens to be a well remembered school girl of long ago. It is pleasant when the pupil cor­ rects the teacher. My father died at Holyrood after serving only one year as storekeeper and postmaster* and Mr.’ Campbell was his successor. He and Mrs. Campbell had come from ' Hunting­ don, province, of Quebec, with their sturdy French pony, seeking a loca­ tion for a stare, and Holyrood suited them. As a lad, I journeyed to, Gode­ rich soon after in Mr. Campbell’s care, behind the-black pony, to begin life ger was and was trip made the. same day, thus avoiding double toll at the toll gates strung along the grave'l rorid from' Goderich to Lucknow. > Mr. Campbell prospered at Holy­ rood, and .he was a merchant and postmaster as well as secretary arid general adviser to the trustees. When Mr. J. iy. Morgan was leaving Holy­ rood school for. St. Helens, he found out that I had obtained a teaefigr’';'’- certificate at Goderich, and he sent for me ta come up to Holyrood.. It was my first attempt at seeking a position-, but Mr. Campbell was a former teacher himself, and he hud the confidence of,the board. Thanks ta his good offices, I easily got the appointment. I*'owe that start in life to Andrew T. Campbell, and I am. glad ta pay tribute to his memory and ta correct the error in his 'name. He died during my term as, teacher. vain to locate.him. z Very secretive about his past life, “Slim” had been the “mystery” res­ ident of Lucknow and the immediate vicinity for the past-few years until, his departure last spring. Since then ’.is exact whereabouts seems to be unknown by anyone here, except that a Christmas card was received •frorp him by a local resident which bore a Mount Forest postmark. Miss Avie Allen of Nakusp, B. £., is administrator of the Atehesori es­ tate arid how she learned that was a resident of Lucknow is rather- a coincident. This information she received from another British Col­ umbia resident, Mrs. Telfer, who visited in Lucknow last summer with Mr, and Mrs., Wm. Hornell, and who lifet"Mr7"A’tcheson whiTfe" here-: “SIirnr'~ had nrevi_ously_^_jafter_ ' Considerable questioning, told Mr- Hornell that his mother lived- in Nakusp and hence the introduction to Mrs. Telfer. Mrs. Telfgr returned to B.C. and a short time ago was in. Nakusp .on a visit, where' she casually ’•acquafrited Miss Allen with the fact that she Had mel Merrell Atcheson in Lucknow. This was valuable information for Miss Allen, who immediately wrote Mr Hornell in an effort to contact Mr Atcheson, “Slim” was hoinesteading in the Western "states' before —tr~ this community, acting as chauffeur for Rev. Mr. Ritchie, who came here as minister of Ashfield Presbyterian Church,. preceeding Rev. P. M. Col- quhoun. “Slim” remained in Ash field for a time before moving'.intc the village. A year ago this • past wi n tef-'he-lived ~in" the ~qu arters~above” Wintefstein’s garage, which-he vaca ted in the spring and left Lucknow shortly after. His mother Lucy Jane Atcheson died in March, 1934, at Nakusp, B.C.. at the age of 80 years and now after a two-year search it appears that her 3rd son may soon be located. It is sb long since his brothers How­ ard and Rowland have heard from him that they had given hirii up as dead. Miss Allen has requested that if| contact is made . with Merrell and if he is the sought after person, have him write to his brother. Dr. Rowland L.
