Dear Mr. Editor: I will be very pleased if you will give me a little space ip your very wonderful paper, to write to the dear old people of Wingham a very short letter, as the God is right now having me fulfil. Now a little. more than forty-five years ago, there lived in Wingham a man by the name of Doc­ tor W. J. Young. He went to British Columbia, and there was taken out of his earthly body. Now in a very short time this man is to be in your midst in the Resur­ rected Body, as the first Resurrection of the Just. Now you older people will be call­ ed upon to recognize Him as the same Doctor W. J. Young that prac­ tised in this dear old town of Wing­ ham, that He may establish His going on earth, as the* Christ, the first re­ surrection of the just, and we shall all be like unto Him. Now at the Coming of The Son of Man +0 earth to dwell we shall have no more curse, no more Hell, it. shall be lifted off this great humanity, and we shall all be given a New Heaven and a New ,Earfh, no more curse, for former things :must pass away and all things become new. I am your obedient servant, Mrs, S. J. King-Doidge, Station K., Gen. Del. Toronto. HEALTHY , CHILDREN 4 CHILDREN .sv' SALEM BR^ND” CORN SYRUP.

The bird is of the species known as covey duck and is . one of the'Asia­ tic varieties. It is much larger than the common barnyard duck, weighs eight pounds and still growing. It is very domesticated, in fact quite a pet. A neighbor boy, Mack Cameron, had four of them given to. him and passed one on to Sonny. People passing the Harris home wonder whether it is a small sized goose.
