The Courier Says"But . lately natural gas was struck in n the vicinity of the new Cockshutt works.

They expect to strike gas there in quantities sufficient to supply the works. It is believed that a regularfiow of gas will be struck both at Cockshutt's and at Verity's."

Posters are out announcing a nom- ination meeting of the ratepayers of the Village on Tuesday next, May 18th, at 12 o'clock noon, for thepur- pose of nominating persons to the position of councillor, to fill the seat at the Council board rendered yacant by the absence for three months of Mr. J. T. Manning, and if more than the requisite number of candidates are nominated, polls will be opened on Monday, May 26th, 1903. As the elec- tion of a man to the vacancy is one of great importance, it behooves every ratepayer to give the matter more than a passing thought. Nominate and elect a man equal to the responsibili- ties that devolve upon him; one who can. discern a good thing when he sees it, and a man who has a little back- bone stamina and a little common horse, sense.

Suxcinit.-The sight Wed nesday of a loved son hanging dead from a beam was a scene that would cause the brain to reel and almost freeze the blood in the viens. The suicide of Mr. Hector Johnston, son of Mr. Robt. Johnston, of the 3rd concession, is one of the sad- dest things in the annals of tragedies that have ever occurred in this town- ship. For five years his mind had been affected, and two years were spent in the London Asylum. In the spring of 1902 be returned home apparently cur- ed, but of late the old symptoms re- turned and arrangements were being made to send him away again, but the plans were cut short, by his taking his own life, the body being found dang- ling from a rope in his father's barn, about five o'clock Wednesday evening. He was about 85 years of age. The grief and sorrow which the bereaved parents are now experiencing are in- deed very trying, but the genuine sym- pathy of the entire community is ex- tended to them. The funeral took place on Friday to the Mitchell Pres- byterian church. x . �r Lost .. "My hair came out by the hand- - ful, and the gray hairs began to creep in.
