Dr. W. J. R Holmes Succumbs to two
Months' Illness
The death of W. J. R Holmes M D,
took place at Goderich on Sunday after
noon after an illnessof nearly two month's
duratioi. The deceased was one of the
best known sten in Huron County. Ile
was burn at IIolmesville, his father being
the late John Holmes, at one time a mem-
ber of the Legislature of Upper Canada,
for the united counties of Huron, Perth,
and Bruce (the Huron tract), Jan. 19th,
1842. Ile attended the Goderich
Grammar School under the tutorship of
the late John Haldane, afterwards gradu-
ating from Upper Canada College and
Toronto Medical College. Shortly after
completing his studies he accepted a com-
mission in the Northern Army, with
which he served until the end of the civil
war, when he returned to Canada and
began the practice of medicine at Blue -
vale, and afterwards what is now the vil-
lage of Brussels in Huron County. In
1867 he was married to Janet Burns, of
Oshawa who predeceased him some three
years ago. Three sons survive, Dudley,
barrister, of Wingham; Hilton, of Fort
William, and F. Barlow, of Toronto.
The late Dr. Holmes was a staunch
Conservative in politics and on two occa-
sions contested Huron ridings in the in-
terest of his party. He held the office of
reeve of the municipality in which he re.
sided. He was appointed treasurer of
Huron County in 1883 and removed to
Goderich. In addition to filling the
office of treasurer, he was at the time of
his death, county coroner. also secretary -
treasurer of Goderich Collegiate Institute
Board. He was active in public affairs
and took a keen interest in Red Cross
and patriotic work in connection with
the present war. A man of sound judg-
msnthis demise is a distinct loss
to this
community. He was a member of St.
George's (Anglician) Church

THE CANADIAN WAY
When times are good, and labor dear
NVe coax the British workman here,
And, should he shrink to cross the drink
i1'c tell hila he Itas nought to fear.
But, when times are hard and straight,
Iii, is indeed' a sorry fate;
We let him lie, with starving cry,
Like Lazarus, beside our gate.
When all the battle flags are furled,
Aud wolf and lamb together curled,
We loudly sing, -"God save the King."
And bid defiance to the world.
When ;otne must go to bear the brunt,
And check the German Kaiser's stunt
We still can brag, and wave the flag,'
But send the British to the front,
When Princess Pats charge down the pike
And put the Gerrzlans on the hike,
We shout --•'hooray for Canaday!

LETTER OF SYMPATHY
One of the strongest recommendations
for military life, in the opinion of men.
back from the front, is that it tends to
give one settled habits of living. The
soldier has a regular round of daily duties
including lengthy periods of recreation
while in training, and he grows used to
this method of ordering his existence
quickly.
It is a tradition of the race that the
easiest way to go through life enjoying
oneself i$ to form goodhabits, such as
regularity in rising, going to bed,eating,
shaving and the like. All these are learn-
ed by men in the army. Their duties
are soordered that they may perform the
day's tasks with the least possible delay
and without confusion,
Furthermore, tate discipline maintained
in the citizen armies which are fighting in
the present war is by no means like that
of former times, when Harshness and sev-
erity were considered essential. It has
been found out by those who did not
realize it at once that the men of the
present Allied armies work and fight
better when treated as self-respecting in-
dividuals, each one possessed of his free-
dom if willing to observe discipline for
the good of the whole.

September 20th
Dear Mrs, Pullen:-
Had
ullen:-Had I not been wounded myself, I
would, before this, have written you to
say how deeply distressed we all were by
the death of your husband.
I know how very deeply you must feel
his loss, but at the same time you must
remember and thank God that your hus-
band died nobly, fighting for his country
and the cause .of righteousness Your
husband was close by me when we made
the attack on Huns on August 21st, and
before the attack and up till the time he
was hit, he was an inspiration to us all
with his ever cheery spirit, and readiness
to assume even more than his own share
of the dangers of the battle.
Your husband was only in iny `platoon
a few weeks, but in that time I learned to
value him very greatly, and understand
how greatly we were indebted to him for
keeping up the spirits of all around him,
under no matter what circumstances.
Again expressing very deep sympathy,
Iam
Yours sincerely,
A. F. CHRISTIE,
Lieut. 27th Batt,
