Write worlting in her home on Fri-
day morning, hies, Fitt, Scott St., took
a boiler of sounding hot water off the
stove and placed it on the floor for a
moment while dhe turned to get a box
of ammonia to dissolve some in it.
Her little three yeas old eon, Wilfred

the water, Dr, Redmond was hastily
summoned but the little lad was be-
yond recovery and after a couple of
days of untold pain he died on Sunday
morning. lie was a bright little lad
and wilt be greatly missed in the home.
The fatality is more particularly sad
because of the death of the infant child
a few months ago and the fair that

country.

Have joined with God in Prayers,

her kind neighbours and friends who
have shown sympathy towards her in
her sad bereavment. Her trouble is
indeed great, we learn that Pte. Fitt,
her huebaod and the breadwinner for

below the knee and very discouraging
newe had been received here as to his
recovery.

tery." They were not successful iu
getting recruits on Wednesday but
are still, hopeful of scouring a few men
from bere for the battery. They wieh
to thank those in town who gave their
aesistance on the patriotic mission of
getting recruits. We hope that the
visit of Lieut, Wright and his assis-
tants will not have been in vain but
that men from this community will
join the 641. Lieut. Wright makes
bis request to men to join with his
battery, in a forceful, direct yet very
gentlemanly manner and judging the

joining the 61th will have pleasant as-

If any person doubts that many more
soldiers from Canada are needed, his
attention is directed to the situation
in France. A study of that will con-
vince him that Grea Britian must as-
eutue a larger ebare of the fight, as
France has reached the zenith of her
strength. And that means that Can-
ada must find at least another hun-
dred thdusand men.
Oa the Western front, of the line
of 780 kilometres (450. miles•). the
French army bolds 590 kilometres
(3G2I miles), and the British 150 kilo-
metres (93} miles), That is to say,
he French hold about 80 per cent of
ha whole line, and the British only
per cent. A French military ex-
ert says that if the French troops are
bave a chance to rest and recuper-
te during the Doming winter and pre -
are for the spring offensive, it will be
ecessary for the British to become
esponeible for holding a larger pro.
iortion of the Western front.
The British will do their utmost,
ven to the last man, just as France is
loing. Canada will not bo content
vith less than a full and equal part-
lerehip with the Mother Land, and if
hat is to be, many thousands more
nen must be recruited forthwith.

Judge Dickson beard the appeal by
Thos. Nash against the award of the
engineers in -the Ashton drain. Mr.
Vanstone of Wingham represented the
iowick Tp, Council Mr. Nash acting on
his own behalf. Mr. Nash is editor of
the Gorrie Vidette but is interested
in some farm land. The award was
sustained. The only complaint Mr.
Nash makes is that the law is not right
that makes a man pay for a; drain
through another's property.

for money gets the better of any good
qualities wbieh she may have and
makes her almost a thief and a robber

Teeswater Library Burued
On Monday afternoon the citizens of
Teeswater were much concerned when
the fire bell pealed out its startling
note and it became known that the
new Carnegie Library was on fire.
The blaze started in the furnace room
where some light kindling had been
left a little to close to the furnace.
The fire spread rapidly and when dis-
covered by Mr. Batten the room Was
all ablaze. The firemen were prompt-
ly on the spot and in a very short time
two streams of water were playing on
the blaze. rortunatcly it was seen in
time to prevent any very serious dam-
age to the books or main floor room,
which Was only blackened by smoke
and damaged a little by water. Good

ing. We left Borden at three o'clock
Friday and landed in Moutreal at seven
o'clock on Saturday morning, We did
not go through Quebec but cauid see
the city across the water. We stopped
at Cbaudiere fora little march around
town so we could stretch our legs. It
sure is some place, We could see the
Quebec bridge from there, also the
Falls and I sure took note of every-
thing I could see. The towns are
pretty close together and all the hone:
es are white.wasbed. Say, you talk
about churches, well they have them
down east. Every small village has
one. You could set our church at
home inside one of these. I also saw
them ploughing with oxen and some
had an ox and a horse hitched together.
I don't think very much of the farms
down here and you can tell the farm-
ers at home when they start to kick
about the crops that they have it all
over the Eastern fanner, because all
the -farms we passed you could see
nothing but stones and rocks. 1 not-
iced them drawing water by hand you
will know the way, a big long stick
and a rope with a pail at either end.
Also the carts with the two wheels
and you sit back to back on them.
Just after we left Montreal we passed
over the St. Lawrence River, on that
long bridge. It certainly is a long one
and you can get a good look at the
city from it. We stopped at a place
called Begot and a couple of fellows
were at the station who had been up
hunting, One of 'thein had a white
deer he had shot. It was a dandy.
The people at Lindsay treated us
white; we stopped there for about half
an hour and the ladies of the Red.
Cross gave us a parcel,each of eats and
I tell you they sure came in fine.

Mrs. I. Abell of Dundalk, who has

Josephine St. returned home.
Misses Mabel Isard and hlyvtle Allen
of Stratford Normal spent the week-
end at the former's home here.
Mr, A, M. Scully manager of the

If you ask anybody a question down
here all you get is a shake of the head,
so you see how hard it is to find any-
thing out. 1 guess by Monday, how-
ever, we wilt be in New Brunswick,
and away from the h'rencbmen. We
have been going through a woods here
for the last two hundred miles or so
and do not know what the country is
like. The farms in Quebec are about
forty rods wide and run back about
21 miles and all face the river.
Sunday, Oct, 29111.
Well.here it is Sunday, and still on
the go. Will try and give you some
idea of what New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia are like. Well, here we are in
New Brunswick. Had another lurch
through Oampbeliton, a place of about
6,500 people. We landed there about
9.30 by our time, but we are an hour
ahead here. The town is in a valley
with mountains nearly all around it,
A person would think a storm was
coming up, the hills make it so dark.
The farms are a little better through
here but the houses are fierce, all small
huts and shingled over. We are run-
ning along the river here for the last
50 miles and all along the shore tnere
is nothing but saw mills. You can see
across the river the towns and cities
and when the tide has gone out there
is black mud for about a hundred
yards. A person could step from the
train unto the beach, it is so close.
The hills here are something worth
seeing. They eure are some height
and other places we passed along on
the trip were nothing tint a clean wall
of rock for a distance of two or three
hundred feet high. We passed through
the Nash Creek, just a sawmill and a
pile of loge (some place). So you talk
about docks; well we have Been a lot
of them, and flying right close to the
train. Saw mon working on a log jam
at a place called Petit Roches, and
to etre those fetiowe jumping from one
log to another would make you won-
der how they do it. Just took a turn
around the Bay des Chaleure, and it
sure makes you sit up and take notice.
Just heard we could not poet any mail
from the next stop, so I had bettor
close for now. Ilopo you can make out,
this letter, as it is some job to write
when the train is going. Give my re-
gards to all at borne," and tell them
I am fine.
