MR. JOHN PURVIS ACCEPTS
Mr. John Purvis, the widely-known
auctioneer and farmer of Holyrood,
has decided to try his luck in the pol
itical game, and has accepted’ the
Liberal-Conservative Party nomina
tion for South Bruce. This makes it
certain that this end of Bruce will
have a three-cornered contest, as
there is no chance of either Mr. Tru
ax, Liberal, or Mr. Findlay, U.F.O.,
retiring. The third man coming into
the field creates a peculiar situation,
and there can be nothing but guess
work as to which shall represent the
riding in the next parliament. All
three have their strong points as
candidates. Mr. Truax, as a canvasser
and organizer, has few equals and
the machinery of his party is in good
working order in spite of the mix-up
in the 1917 election.
Mr. Findlay does not appear to be
very widely known, but is said to be
a successful farmer of good character
and fair ability. His strength as a
candidate will depend upon the
strength and enthusiasm of the U.
F. O. in the riding.
So far as “popularity” goes, we
fancy Mr. Purvis has the advantage,
and, like Mr. Truax, he will have the
support of his party in the towns
and villages.
The Township of Carrick, with its
big voting strength, is likely to prove
an active battle ground. Mr. Truax
got a big vote there in 1917; but it
was given to him as an anti-conscrip-
tionist, and when it came to voting
on the conscription bill, Mr. Truax
voted with the Union Government.
This., of course, would not be pleasing
to his supporters in Carrick, but how
far that will go against him now,
there is no saying. Mr. Purvis was
an out-and-out Union Government
man and was active in patriotic work
throughout the war.
It’s any man’s game so far as can
be seen at the present time.
Whichever you choose
it will be the BEST you ever tasted.

HIGH SCHOOL FIELD DAY
YOUNG WOMAN
CALLED BY DEATH
The village was greatly saddened
Tuesday afternoon of this week as
the news spread about that Mrs, El
liott Miller had pased away. A baby,
which lived but a very short time,
was born in the early morning, and
Mrs. Miller’s condition at once be
came very serious, so that from the
first little hope of her recovery was
held out.
Mrs. Miller, formerly Miss Lavina
Sherwood, of Ashfield, was a bright
and amiable young woman, and a
bride of less than a year ago. Gen-.
erally she enjoyed excellent health,
and was quite well until Monday
night.
Mr. Miller, whose loss is irrepar
able, and the parents, brothers and
sisters have the sympathy of the
whole community.
The funeral will be on Friday
afternoon of this week, leaving the.
residence on Campbell Street, at 3,
o’clock for Greenhill Cemetery.-

NEW SORT OF BIRD-MAN
\ _____________
Aivay back in 1859, Charles Dar
win shocked the world by suggestVg
that|man descended from an ape-like
anil d, “probaly arboreal”—that is
dwelling in trees like the monkies
and squirrels.
If here is truth in that much-dis-
puted^ Darwinian theory, it would
seem ’that man has not yet lost the
primitive instinct to sleep in a tree
when no better shelter and place of
safety is available.
We are lead to this reflection by a
story which comes from out near
Whitechurch. A couple of weeks ago
a stranger arrived in that vicinity,
who, instead of seeking accommoda
tion in the ordinary way, took to
sleeping in a tree. The cold evenings
were spent by a fire which he kindl
ed near, the root of his arboreal home.
The story is quite true, as the bed, or
nest, is still to be seen in the tree,
about twenty feet from the ground.
A number of men from the vicin
ity called on the stranger one day,
and discovered that he was a for

Harold J. MacDonald, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Jas. MacDonald, Lochalsh
locality, whose illness we mentioned
recently, passed away on Tuesday of
this week. He was a strong and ro
bust young fellow, but pneumonia
took a severe hold upon him from the
beginning, and he was never able to
shake it off. He was just two months
past 19 years of age. The funeral
will be held to Lochalsh Cemetery on
Friday afternoon.
MAFEKING
Tuesday, October 18th.
Mrs. Wm. Stothers is spending a
few weeks with her son, S. B. Stoth
ers, at Clinton.
Misses Reta Sturgeon and Jessie
Stothers attended the Teachers’ Con-
ventjXi at Exeter last Thursday and
Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. John Blake and
daughter, Bernice, spent Sunday with
Mr. and Mrs. W. Farrier near White
church.
We regret to lose from our neigh
borhood our esteemed neighbor, Mrs.
Wm. Kickley, who has moved into
Lucknow this week.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry White, of
Stratford, Mrs. H. Johnston, and
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Reed, of Luck-
now, were guests of Mr, and Mrs,
Bichjtrd w Monday
mand of the English language. His
visitors concluded that he had been
in Montreal, that he had relatives in
Detroit, and that he was tramping
on his way thither; that his feet had'
become sore and that he had stopped
for a few days’ rest. Unacquainted
with the country and unable to make
himself understood, he had decided
to camp out. The tree was selected
as a sleeping place, likely as a secur
ity against stray dogs, just as his far
distant ancestors had, according to
Darwin, made their homes in trees
to avoid the wolfish ancestors of the
dog.
Selecting a tree that he could climb
he toook up light poles and laid them
on two suitable branches. On this
foundation he put brushwood and on
top of that a quantity of meadow
grass. What could be more delight
fully primitive than this?
After a about a week’s sojourn,
the man disappeared without molest
ing anybody. Let us hope the poor
fellow reached his destination in
safety.
The Lucknow Continuation School
Sports, postponed from the day first
set owing to the wet day, were put

At the last meeting of the Luck

undertake to convert Queen’s Park,
on Havelock Street, into a Memorial
Park. The work will be commenced
this Fall, and the ground plowed and
put in shape for levelling down next
Spring. It will then be laid out in
flower-plots, walks, etc., and the re
mainder converted into a grass lawn.
Varieties of evergreens, other- trees
and flowering shrubs will be planted.
The aim will be to erect a memorial
stone or shaft later.
In order that this worthy scheme
may be successfuly caried out, the
Fire Company ask the citizens to
freely patronize the entertainments
they are putting on with a view to
raising the money needed for the
purpose above set forth.

THE APPLE CROP
The apple crop which was being
harvested the past couple of weeks,
has turned out much better than was
at one time expected. The apples are
not so numerous as in many former
years, and there is some very poor
stuff, but the sp(ys and, baldwins,
which escaped the scab, are unusually
large and well colored. Mr. K. Cam
eron reports having^the largest and
finest looking spys that he ever har
vested. One exceptionally large one
measured 14 inches in circumference
and is the biggest apple of that var
iety so far grown in his orchard.
