IN MEMORIAM
KELLETT-In loving memory of
Ed Kellett who was killed in action
October 26th, 1918.
At our fire -side sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell,
At remembrance of the story,
How our noble Edward fell:
How he strove to bear the wounded
In the thicket of the fight,
Fearless, as a stretcher-bearer,
Freely gave his manhood's might.
Father and Mother.
In loving memory of Private AI -
mer McFalls who was killed in ac-
tion Oct., 23rd, 1917.
Do not ask us if we miss him,
Oh! there's such a vacant place,
Often we think we hear his footsteps
Or we see his smiling face.
He has gone to higher regions.
Safe from every grief and care,
We shall meet again in heaven
And never more be parted there.
Father, Mother and Brothers.

MAIN ST. ANNIVI,R*A1SY.
Last Sunday was anniversary day
in Main St. church. The preacher of
the day was Rev. S. W. Fallis, Book
Steward of the Methodist Publishing
House, Clear, terse, definite, inform-
ing and convincing were the mes-
tsages he brought. The congregations
were Iarge and manifested the keen-
est interest in the sermons of Rev.
Mr. Fallis. The choir under the lea-
dership of Miss E. Huston ,ave splen-
did service indeed. Many sere the
words of praiser worthy commenda-
tion we heard regarding the work of
the choir and also of the playing by
Mrs. Blatchford, the organist of the
church. The minister of the chinch
Rev. Dr. 14ledd assisted in both ser-
vices. and in the evening Rev. Mr.
Foote, B. A., of Caven Presbyterian
I church also assisted. The offering
will reach $850.00 possibly more.
The anniversary was in every way a
splendid suceess.
OPINION
After the landslide of Monday we
asked several citizens to give us
their opinion on it and the following
is from Rev. Mr. Wilson.
Looking over the returns I am
glad to see we have as a province
had a peoples instead of a party
vote and it indicates to me aur res-
cue from too strongly entrenched
enemies of our Financial, Education-
al, National and moral best interest's,
i.e., partistn and the liquor traffic.
It's sad to see the -fall of hottest and
good then but every reform of the
world has Dome by sacrifice of noble
men and women. T116 200. day of
October,.1919 will be looked upon in
years to conic as Ontario's emancip-
ation day from the slavery ee party-
ism' and Iignor domination.
Vii. J. Wilson.
COIJLTIS-In loving memory of our
dear little daughter, Margaret, who
died one year ago to -day, Oct. 23rd,
1918.
She like a little faded flower was
lying quiet and still.
Her sweet brown eyes were closing,
her little hands were still.
When on that night the Savior came
from among his flowers,
IIe came to gather liilies the night
he gathered ours.
dinner and loved ones,
Allndx'ew. Hicks, Farmers Candidate,
