SCALDED TO DEAL H infant Son of Mra William Fitt Fell int o Hot Wates 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 Elliott, who was toddling about fell in 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 the father- is at present lying in a French hospital, where he was taken after being wounded while serving his country. The funeral was held to Wingham cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 21st, Rev. Mr. Hibbert conducted the service. Those little feet that once did walk Have climbed the Golden Stairs, Those little lips that once did talk, Have joined with God in Prayers, Mrs. Fitt desires to publicly thank 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 the family, has had his leg amputated below the knee and very discouraging newe had been received here as to his recovery.

The Grand Superintendent for North Huron district visited Lebanon chapter R. A, M. No. 81 on Tuesday night, where a lodge of instruction was held atter which the members adjourned to llfiller'e restaurant, Word has been received from Corp, Geo. Moffat, and his tuany friends will be delighted to hoar that he is safe and spending a few days iii England. This is the first leave that (George has had since entering the service over two Lieut. Wright and Gunners ()harks and Higmill of the Olth Battery, Guelph, were in town on Wednesday looking for recruits for the 04th Bat- 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 battery by their recruiting officer in 'charge here, we ,are sure that those joining the 61th will have pleasant as- sociates in fighting the country's bat- tles. 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. : gnu .1..v.,...

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.

Tillotson, who gave a lec- ture in Wingham a couple of weeks ago and who made the liveliest part of her entertainment the straightening•up ordinance, more especially the morn- ing after, is getting a great deal of free publicity in many of onr exchanges in the towns she visite.

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 substauttat wotk proved its Worth and kept the blaze frotn spreading as it would otherwise have *done.

Well our trip so far has been fine, They are sure putting up some good food for us. The 0. P. R. have been doing the cook. 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.

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.
