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

The Water and Electric Light Cone

age if not attended to at once. The

ten posts and timber,

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.

Dialogues on Canadian history
Dr. Thomas Chisholm, formerly of
Wingham, but now living retired in
Toronto, ie the author of a neatly
gotten -up booklet entitled "Dialogues
on Canadian History," constituted of
a short drama in rhyme of the history
of Canada going back as far as Colum-
bus. This neat booklet will make a
place for itself and is equal to any GOc
history, but is sold for 10c.
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.
African war with the Canadian troop
ere.

quarantine ever since their arrival at
London and they have all been sent to
their respective homes for a month's

of the measles. The farmers of Bruce

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

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

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.

A friend in Wingham received a let-
ter from Sergt, Percy Harris in which
he expresses thanks to the town of
Winghamfor
the parcel containing
the safety razor, steel mirror and dol-
lar bill, He says the razor and mirror
will indeed be very useful. Percy is
with the 18th battalion and is well,
although he has been in the trenches

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.

Dialogues on Canadian history
Dr. Thomas Chisholm, formerly of
Wingham, but now living retired in
Toronto, ie the author of a neatly
gotten -up booklet entitled "Dialogues
on Canadian History," constituted of
a short drama in rhyme of the history
of Canada going back as far as Colum-
bus. This neat booklet will make a
place for itself and is equal to any GOc
history, but is sold for 10c.
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.
African war with the Canadian troop
ere.
