LETTER FROM BRAMSNOTT The New Trench Howitzer Gun is Deacribee Corp, Thoe. Iiugbes mites the fol- lowing intereeting letter to his cousin, Mr. David Lougbeed, in which he des- cribes the new gun which is now in use by the British in trench warfare, Brawshott, July 3, 1910 Dear Cousin: We are dismissed early to -day 6o I thought I would write you and tell you how thinge are going. I like the new work fine it surd is away ahead of regular infantry work. Our battery spent late week at the school at Purbright. It surely is some gun this trench Howitzer of ours. It only weighs, all parte included, about 100 pounds, and it throws a shell weighing 11 pounds a distance of 400 yde, its shortest range being 150 yds It can be fired at the rate of about 80 shelle per minute but our sergt, in structor, demonstrating before the King and Queen last Friday, achieved a result of 32 shells per minute, firing this rate their is 01110 shells in the air at one time. The shells can be timed to explode at any time and the shock is so great that it jars the windows in a house at three miles distance, and is sufficient to kill by conouseion anybody in the trench where it alights, Tbie is as much as I am allowed to tell you about it, but this is sufficient for you to see Me accorded to be one of the most effective weapons of trench war- fare and no doubt is playing a very large part in disiodging the Germans in the present drive. Things are sure livening up some, it looks like our in- nings now, Dave, the Allies seem to be exerting the pressure on all aides. I am getting anxious to try my gun on them, There are five men and a corporal to a gun team the corporal being the gunner. So you can see where I have a chance of getting my own back with Fritz for the many little hardships and discomforts he has caused me, to say nothing of the larger account on the side of Human- ity. We all enjoyed the visit of their Majeeties very much, it being inform- al and we were fortunate in missing the Divisional Review at Bramehott on Saturday. The Purbright eehool consists of a series of trenches out on a moor, The Queen was the first to arrive. We were drawn up in review order to see them and she won my heart at once, by having the Commandent stand us easy and carry on. She seem. ed very much interested in the work. She is very well described as a nice motherly -looking woman of 45, very plainly dressed in a blue tailored suit wearing a queer little pink chiffon hat. The King arrived about half an hour later. He is jest as you would expect to see him, he eeemed all tickled to death with the working of the,, gun and the effect produced, I won't say anything about when I think we will go over, I've given you so many reports already. But I'll let you know when I get there,. At pre- sent I remain Yours sincerely Tom Hughes avemetatreamemettessmaseaftelentomm • Chaplain Appointed The long.mooted question of the chaplaincy of the 161st Huron Batta- lion has been settled by the appoint• ment of Rev.

A special meeting of the town coun- oi1 was held in the Council Chatnberon Saturday morning, July 15th, at 0 o'clock. Mayor McKibben molding.. Applications for the postbox) of tax collector for the year were read from J. W. Dodd, A, lemons, W. F. Val] Stone, W. 3. Armour and A. M, Fra- Iick. The latter was appointed collec- tor at a salary of $75 with an allowance of $8 fur postage, on motion of Coun- cillors Patterson and Hinkley, The Water and Electric Light Cone tnittee repotted that the lower dam near the iron bridge on Victoria St. was in bad shape and would possibly give way and cause more serious dam- age if not attended to at once. The council viewed the dam and fay• oured the rebuilding of a concrete structure to take the place of the rot- ten posts and timber, Moved by Councillors Biakley and Gurney that this council authorize the construction of a cement dam, the job to be let by day labour if the commit- tee eees fit.—parried, A communication from the Hydro Radial Union which was filed at the Last regular meeting was dealt with by Councillors Spotton and Gurney that the corporation of Wingham join the Hydro Radial Union,—Carried, The street committee are this year doing some excellent work on the roads. There has always been a pool in wet weather at the corner of Alfred and Minnie streets, this week the com- mittee had a couple of large boxed til- es put down and this corner will in future be properly drained. The cem- ent sidewalk which is just cpmpleted along Albert St, by the mill, from the old chair factory corner to Mr, Chas. Elliott's corner, ie a good work and will be greatly appreciated by pedest- rians to the cemetery, Some people may say that this sidewalk is too higbt but that is possibly one of its good pointe as the river always rises very high at the dam in the spring. and one of the faults of most of the town side- walks is that they ;are so low that in winter the slush flows off the road on- to the sidewalk. The chairman of the committee, Mr, A, Tipling, is to be commended for the substantial iron railing which was placed by the aide of the walk along by the river bank under hie supervision.

Mr. Norman McNeil of East Wawa - nosh lost a valuable horse on Monday. He was starting to mow and let down the Iines to pick up an oil can when the team started. They only ran a- bout fifteen rods but they had such speed that, colliding with a tree, the mower was smashed and one of the horses intently killed. • While the morning freight w a e shunting in the yards near the G.T.R. depot on Monday about 10.30 the rear truck slipped out from under a car causing it to leave the track and ne- cessitating the wrecking crew coming up from Palmerston to assist in getting. it righted.

In mentioning the salary Miss Mc- Donald is to receive as teacher in the Public School we last week stated $500, where it should have read $550, We did not mean to reduce Miss McDonald's salary for we believe she was offered a considerably higher salary to teach in a school near Ham- ilton, but preferred. the Wingham school because she could stay at'home.

Dr. Chisholm's many friends are buying these booklets rapidly from Mr. Lougheed, who is very deserving of any little kindness, he being a cripple for some years and also the fact that he fought valiantly in the S.

Iiugbes mites the fol- lowing intereeting letter to his cousin, Mr. David Lougbeed, in which he des- cribes the new gun which is now in use by the British in trench warfare, Brawshott, July 3, 1910 Dear Cousin: We are dismissed early to -day 6o I thought I would write you and tell you how thinge are going. I like the new work fine it surd is away ahead of regular infantry work. Our battery spent late week at the school at Purbright. It surely is some gun this trench Howitzer of ours. It only weighs, all parte included, about 100 pounds, and it throws a shell weighing 11 pounds a distance of 400 yde, its shortest range being 150 yds It can be fired at the rate of about 80 shelle per minute but our sergt, in structor, demonstrating before the King and Queen last Friday, achieved a result of 32 shells per minute, firing this rate their is 01110 shells in the air at one time. The shells can be timed to explode at any time and the shock is so great that it jars the windows in a house at three miles distance, and is sufficient to kill by conouseion anybody in the trench where it alights, Tbie is as much as I am allowed to tell you about it, but this is sufficient for you to see Me accorded to be one of the most effective weapons of trench war- fare and no doubt is playing a very large part in disiodging the Germans in the present drive. Things are sure livening up some, it looks like our in- nings now, Dave, the Allies seem to be exerting the pressure on all aides. I am getting anxious to try my gun on them, There are five men and a corporal to a gun team the corporal being the gunner. So you can see where I have a chance of getting my own back with Fritz for the many little hardships and discomforts he has caused me, to say nothing of the larger account on the side of Human- ity. We all enjoyed the visit of their Majeeties very much, it being inform- al and we were fortunate in missing the Divisional Review at Bramehott on Saturday. The Purbright eehool consists of a series of trenches out on a moor, The Queen was the first to arrive. We were drawn up in review order to see them and she won my heart at once, by having the Commandent stand us easy and carry on. She seem. ed very much interested in the work. She is very well described as a nice motherly -looking woman of 45, very plainly dressed in a blue tailored suit wearing a queer little pink chiffon hat. The King arrived about half an hour later. He is jest as you would expect to see him, he eeemed all tickled to death with the working of the,, gun and the effect produced, I won't say anything about when I think we will go over, I've given you so many reports already. But I'll let you know when I get there,. At pre- sent I remain Yours sincerely Tom Hughes avemetatreamemettessmaseaftelentomm • Chaplain Appointed The long.mooted question of the chaplaincy of the 161st Huron Batta- lion has been settled by the appoint• ment of Rev.

A special meeting of the town coun- oi1 was held in the Council Chatnberon Saturday morning, July 15th, at 0 o'clock. Mayor McKibben molding.. Applications for the postbox) of tax collector for the year were read from J. W. Dodd, A, lemons, W. F. Val] Stone, W. 3. Armour and A. M, Fra- Iick. The latter was appointed collec- tor at a salary of $75 with an allowance of $8 fur postage, on motion of Coun- cillors Patterson and Hinkley, The Water and Electric Light Cone tnittee repotted that the lower dam near the iron bridge on Victoria St. was in bad shape and would possibly give way and cause more serious dam- age if not attended to at once. The council viewed the dam and fay• oured the rebuilding of a concrete structure to take the place of the rot- ten posts and timber, Moved by Councillors Biakley and Gurney that this council authorize the construction of a cement dam, the job to be let by day labour if the commit- tee eees fit.—parried, A communication from the Hydro Radial Union which was filed at the Last regular meeting was dealt with by Councillors Spotton and Gurney that the corporation of Wingham join the Hydro Radial Union,—Carried, The street committee are this year doing some excellent work on the roads. There has always been a pool in wet weather at the corner of Alfred and Minnie streets, this week the com- mittee had a couple of large boxed til- es put down and this corner will in future be properly drained. The cem- ent sidewalk which is just cpmpleted along Albert St, by the mill, from the old chair factory corner to Mr, Chas. Elliott's corner, ie a good work and will be greatly appreciated by pedest- rians to the cemetery, Some people may say that this sidewalk is too higbt but that is possibly one of its good pointe as the river always rises very high at the dam in the spring. and one of the faults of most of the town side- walks is that they ;are so low that in winter the slush flows off the road on- to the sidewalk. The chairman of the committee, Mr, A, Tipling, is to be commended for the substantial iron railing which was placed by the aide of the walk along by the river bank under hie supervision.

Mr. Norman McNeil of East Wawa - nosh lost a valuable horse on Monday. He was starting to mow and let down the Iines to pick up an oil can when the team started. They only ran a- bout fifteen rods but they had such speed that, colliding with a tree, the mower was smashed and one of the horses intently killed. • While the morning freight w a e shunting in the yards near the G.T.R. depot on Monday about 10.30 the rear truck slipped out from under a car causing it to leave the track and ne- cessitating the wrecking crew coming up from Palmerston to assist in getting. it righted.

In mentioning the salary Miss Mc- Donald is to receive as teacher in the Public School we last week stated $500, where it should have read $550, We did not mean to reduce Miss McDonald's salary for we believe she was offered a considerably higher salary to teach in a school near Ham- ilton, but preferred. the Wingham school because she could stay at'home.

Dr, Chisolm is not speculating but is putting this book out with the in- tention of presenting Canadian history in ti c'ndensed form suitable for nee in schools, drama`ic societies, parlour en- tertainments, etc. Hellas very kindly sent a number of these books to Mr, David Lougheed and wishes -him to sell them for 10e but keep all the mon- ey derived thus fnr his own benefit. Dr. Chisholm's many friends are buying these booklets rapidly from Mr. Lougheed, who is very deserving of any little kindness, he being a cripple for some years and also the fact that he fought valiantly in the S.
