McCrae, PhD,, of London, Moder- ator of the Synod of London and Hamilton. Dr. McCrae is an excellent 2reacher and his two sermons on Sun- day were very much enjoyed.

An excellent fowl supper was served and the ladies deserve great praise for the way in which the large crowd was handled. The several tables were beautifully decorated With flags, etc., to represent the different tenntries of the Allies.

Pringle has just finished an order of 1,800 dozen pairs of mitts for the British army. They are made of wool and covered with soft pliahle leather. The mitts are joined together with a long leather cord, which goes around the neck, allowing the mitts to hang at the waist, while the soldiers is in the act of shooting. Thus no time is lost picking them up from the kround. The firm is now busy filling an order for 10,000 pairs, which Mr. Pringle has secured by a sub -contract from the Hud- son Bay Company., The Russians Coming.

Templeman of town received a letter recently from his son, who is with the first Canadian contingent. The letter is written from Salisbury Plains, which says in part': "After a theee weeks' voyage we arrived at, Ply- mouth and received a grand reception. -Many thought we woald be landed at Southampton, but we had a surprise. We are getting lots of work to do here and are kept busy making long marches and digging trenches. We expect to be sent to France in December or January. All our men are anxious to meet the Germans, •and are just in the right humor for them. The weather is very cold here for camping out, but they are building huts for us. Engine Derailed. The C.P. R. train, due here at about. one o'clock, p.in, was some four hours late on Saturday last, owing to the en- gine being derailed at the the Tees - water road crossing, a few miles north of Wingham. The train was coming at a moderate rate of speed when a rail spread, causing the engine and ten- der to run off the track. A way freight engine, which was in the yard at the time, was immediately sent to their as- sistance and after some hours week got the engine and tender back on to the rails, and after putting in a new rail, pulled into the station. Fortunate- ly, the train was running at a low rate of speed at the time otherwise a serious accident would have happened. The train left for Toronto, Saturday night, but cancelled the run to Tees - water. Confirmation Service at St. Paul's Church On Sunday last, the Rt. Rev. David Williams, D.D., Lord Bishop of the Diocese of Huron, made his annual visit to the parish of St, Paul the Apostle and administered the Rite of the Laying -on -of -Hands to a class of twenty-one males and seven females, presented by the rector, Rev. E. G. Dymond. After the order of Morning Prayer his lordship gave a masterly address, taking as his text, Eph. 6: 20,, "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God concerning you in Christ Jesus," exhorting the congrega- tion to be optimistic concerning the future for oneself and for the nation as God was at the helm of the world and all things worked together for our ul- timate good. The preacher touched on the terrible war being waged in Eurtnee at the present time and stated that when the incubus or German militarism has been removed the gospel of Jesus Christ would take its rightful place in the hearts and lives of men and nations. The beautiful Confirmation iervice of the Church followed with its solemnity and unpressiveriess and Was attended by a large congregation. As the Rev. E. G. Dymond has only been rector of the parish of St. Paul's about six months this splendid class of danclidittes speak Well for his energy and teal.

This is a question of no small importance, both to you and to the merchants and both shou/d be loyal to each other. The merchant has invested money in a bnainess in Wingham and he naturally fpects tr, get his business from the people of Wingham and surrounding country. If he does not get that busi- ness, which he is clearly entitled to, then he must fail and go out of business. If the citizens of Wingham do not do their trading with their own mer- chants, how can they expect these men to continue to do business here? Do your shopping at home. Throw away the mail order catalogues and be loyal to your community, High School Notes A meeting of the Literary Society will be held on Thursday, Nov. 26th, in the Assembly _Hall.

Sherriff, Deputy Minister of Game and Fisheries, to the effect that "The new regulations do not effect resident trappers in any way as they do not require a license to trap, neither do they require a license to dispose of their catch of furs, but the person who buys such furs requires a license, the fee for which is $2 per annum."
