Chinn and Winghamites in general, will be proud to learn that he has won the Military Cross. He had charge of keeping a line of railway in repair over which ammunition was being taken to the boys. The Germane bad broken through the lines eight times iu one day and toro up the railway and each time Mr. Griffin and his assistants rushed out under heavy shell firs and repaired the road, Fearless In Doing His Duty The Essex Free Press has the follow- ing to -say of Rev. Mr, Armstrong who is already beloved by his congregation in the Wingham MethodiQt Church. The citizens of Essex and vicinity in general place a high valuation on the splendid and successful three year's pastorate of Rev. E. F. Arm- strong, who severed his relation with Grace ellethodist Church, to take up his new duties in Wingham. Mr. Armstrong was not only a man of marked ability and of high char- acter but was absolutely fearless in doing bis duty when carrying out his convictions. Mr. Armstrong was essentially a pulpit man. His ser- mons were studiously and prayer- fully prepared. He was an encyclo- pedia on religious questions as was evidenced by the masterly manner with which he handled many knotty problems propounded to him in the prayer meetings and Busy Men's Bible Class. The best wishes of the community will gn with both Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong to their new home. 7Ite.` ' .5tOIES i, A' C',4221AtlA•S 0AN/00.'ITI_'iTRUGi.S7bRE5.^ EYE SIGHT TESTED BY LATEST METHODS .blcKIBBO•N'S DRUG STORE EVERYBODY'S COLUMN Regarding an item in last week's issue of Tim ADVANCE which was put in the form of a question as I infer.

He was at once rushed to Mrs. Lougheed'e, where he was staying, and Dr. Red- mond dressed his wound, and he left for his homo on the early C.P.R. train. Mr, Stacey is a jovial good fellow who takes his misfortune cheerily and when the doctor was attending him he said, "that is nothing to what some of our brave lade have to suffer at the front," The ball game between the Girl Guides of Brussels and the Belgrave Girls resulted in a victory for the for- mer by a score ot'° 8 to ? .

W. G. Patterson and little Harry Ross' parents took home the handsome knife, fork and spoon which A. M. Knoe donated.

The following extracts are from a letter which was recently received from him: - "1 get Tun ADVANCE quite regular. ly although sometimes it comes like the rest of our mail, in bunches, but all the same its great to get the old paper, a dozen or more fellows will get around me and read it,, although often they were never near Wingham. You can tell your advertisers that we read all the ads too. Because of the close censoring of our letters we have not much to say in regard to what we are doing. The weather has been simply grand, the trees are all out in leaf and we have been going around with our sleeves up. The country behind the lines is certainly beautiful, and the crops look well. I notice that groceries over there are getting to be a terrible price. Guess it is now that some people in Canada are beginning to realize that there i@ a war going on. I see conscription will soon be in torte, if pro German element in the Canadian Governments can be over- powered.. Wonder how the slackers like the ideas I am glad I enlisted when I did and have already done my bit. I have never been lucky enough to got a scratch yet, let alone Blighty. Was over to see Fritz a few days ago and all I got was a rip in my pants which means a new pair. that is what we call "rotten luck," Just to think we have been ten months here. Its long enough too, but if some of the anti -conscriptionists had their way we could remain here forever."
