IL, H, DICKSON APPOINTED ,JUDGE With the Boys in Khaki
OP I3;17RON
Mr, L. H. Dickson, of the lawfarm1 'Lieut. Hall, oC Hensall, spent Good
Friday in fawn.
of Dickson & Carling, has been
appointed Judge of Huron County to
fill the vacancy caused by the re-
tirement of His Honor Judge Doyle.
The appointment will necessitate Mr.
Dickson's removal to Goderich in the
near future as he will assume his new
duties as soon as the commissions are
issued. Mr. Dickson has practised
law in Exeter since 1884 and in losing
him Exeter loses a most worthy citi-
zen one who has always identified
himself with the highest interests of
our town. IIe is a prominent bowler
and both in his social and professional
life carries the esteem and trespecttof
all who know him.
Mr. Dickson was born in the vile
lage of Pakenham, Lanark and spent
his boyhood days and received his
early education at Pembrooke, Ren-
frew County. He graduated from the
Kingston collegiate. He studied law
in the office of Thos. Deacon, K. C.
of Pembroke, afterwards Judge
Deacon, of Renfrew; also Hector Cam-
eron, K. C. of Toronto and graduated
in law iin the year 1884 soon after
commencing to practise in Exeter. His
law partner is 11Ir. I. R. CarfLng. We
extend our congratulations on bis
appointment.

LEON TREBLE TO HIS
PARENTS.
Shoencliffe, Eng., Mar. 28, '16
We embarked oa the La,p'.an:l on
March 13th, my b'rth•day. and were
ketpt at anchor until Friday, 17th, when
we sailed accompanied by the cruis-
ers Calgarian and Essex, and Metaga-
me a troopship. We had a beautiful
voyage. The sea was as calm as Lake
Huron and we arrived in Livcrpoo' in
eight days. I 'seemed to be in nay
righ: element foe I was not sea sick
,t all When we were four days out
the Cruiser Essex left us and the
Drake •a larger boat froin England
took ,her place and from that time on
we wore our life belts constantly, and
the life boats were slung out ready
for use. at any minute. We, had good
quarters co:fling over and fine meals.
Wbe&1, we were six days out 3 torpedo
boat destroyers met us, and; yes got a
wereless next day that one had sunk
a German sub. These destroyers
make 36 knons an hour. On the 7th
day out ..we. ,passed .the Irish coast
and sailed in darkness at night after
entering :the war zone , and kept up
a zig-•zag course. At 3 o'clock cei
Saturday. the 26th we sailed into Liv-
eepoel. No sky scrapers in this city
The trains are funny—the side doer
variety—and we laughed our sides sore
but they bounce you along some. I
felt like putting one of the toy en-
gines in my ,pocket and taking it a-
long as a suuvertir. We crossed Eng-
land
n-lend ,in a night. It is an awfully pret-
ty country around Shorncliffe, hut it
has rained 23 .oat of 24 hours. We
are housed in ,cabins, 29 in ours, and
are fairly comfortable. The villages
"ere are so' creat, just like small toy
mode's. Ze,pps raided across here
Sunday night and blew up some ran•-
cvav cracks. We blanket rex: windows �l
at night .and keelp all dark. There is
an aeroplane coast guard along the
shore. We can see the channel from
the cabin window.
