DEATH ROLL DOUGLAS Fntt.SEtk " The following from The Pilot Mound Sentinel of June 24th refers to an old and highly respected gentleman who lived for many years in these °parts, "Death• came very unexpectedly to one of this community's tench respect- ed citizens on Sunday last, in the per, son of Mr, Douglas Fraser, calling him to his reward in the sixty-seventh year of hie age, Of recent years, Mr. Fras- er had not been enjoying very robust health, but was able to be around pretty much, all the time: On Sunday he was feeling exceptionally wall, when all of a sudden he expired whilst sitting in a chair, succumbing to heart failure. Mr, Fraser was born at- Shakes- peare, Ontario, on Feb, 21, 1848, where he grew up to manhood, being a eon of the late Alexander and Mrs. Fraser (who still survives him). In his early years he followed farming, and was a noted plowman winning two Previte' cial prizesat ploughing matches. Shortly after marrying Mise Kather- ine Hay, he went to live 'near Wing - ham in Huron co.tnty, in which vicin- ity they resided until 1906, when they came west -to Pilot Mound and pur- chased the farm on which he died. Before coming west, Mr. Fraser taught school for seventeen years at S.S. No, '2 Turnberry Township, Ontario, and eight years at S.S. No, 9, same munici- pality. Since coming West he home- steaded on land north of Swift Cur- rent, Sask., besides attending to farm- ing' operations very successfully at his home near town. He was a Presby- terian resbyterian in religion and a life-long Liberal in politics. His aged mother, eight sisters, a brother, widow, six sons and two daughter survive the deceased gentle- man, whose remains were conveyed to Pilot Mound cemetery on Tuesday afternoon for interment, in the pres- ence of a large number of friends and acquaintances, Rev. J. B. Clyde officiating at Knox Church and grave, sever al of the brethren of Court Pilot, 0. 0. F., being present in a body. -Three of the sons—Alexander, William and Jobn—are living in the County of Kent, Oniario, while Peter, Douglas and Gordon, live at home and near by. The daughters,• Misses Jessie and Anabel (who returned onp Monday from teaching school at Emerson) are at home with their mother. Other relatives are bis sisters—Mrs. Murray of Palmerston; Mrs. McMillan, of Shakespeare; Mrs.- T. Trow, and Mrs. (Dr,) S. T. Rutherford, of Stratford; Mrs. (Dr.) W. T. Parke, Woodstock; Mrs. W. Patterson of Victoria, B. 0., and Mrs.' (Dr.) J. A. Rutherford and Lizzie at home with their mother in Shakespeare; and a brother, Alex Fraser of Shakespeare. Me. and Mrs. Murray were visiting with Mr. Fraser at the time of his death. A. funeral service was held at the house at one o'clock and public war ship in Knox Church at two o'clock. The brethren of Court Pilot, Canadian Order of Foresters, of which order Mr. Fraser was a member, attended in the capacity of pall bearers, Rev. Clyde preached toa crowded house from Rev. 20:8, and referred to the upriglft char. acter of deceased as being worthy of the highest emulation, and to Mr. Fraser'd grip of the real principles of life. After singing "Asleep in. Jesus," the cortegeproceeded to the cemeter yr and the beautiful and impressive fun- eral service of the Foresters, led by brothers Wm. Cruise and John Rath - well, completed the obsequies," Who Will Get it?

Willie officiated for the last time as organist and choir leader in St. Paul's Church, Some four weeks ago the choir and congregation of St, Paul's heard with deep regret that he had tendered. his resignation as organist and choirmaster, to take effect the first of July. ( Mr. Willis has been connected with St. Paul's for over seven years and has been very happy in his relations there, ever popular with the congregation and much liked by the choir being appointed leader of the choir at that time and organist about four years ago upon the sudden illness of Miss Boughton.. During this time he bad been deeply interest- ed in his work and much attached to d the, Church, and untiring in his efforts to raise the et andarti of the choir, and be accomplished much in making it strong, efficient"and faithful, Upon his success he -has been complimented by the vestry, by visiting clergymen and others, and in that time has the record of never having missed a sere vice, The members of the choir who found in him not only an able leader but a ki d friend, presented a petitionition to the wardens..of the church that they request Mr, Willis to reconsider his resignation and remain as their Ieader. Mr. Willis was waited upon to this effebt but said, while retaining tbe happiest memories of St. Paui'e, h©could not alter file decision. Mrs. Willis and Mr. Harvey Willis have also been valued members of the choir and will be much missed there. reciapiranasuiviummomn PROGRAMME Owing to Dominion Day corning on Thursday this year, the Citizens Band will give their band concert on Thurs- day evening (to -night) instead of Fri- day evening.

The need is great and al- ways becoming greater, and the Socie- ty will be very grateful for any assist- ance along this line, Two splendid field kitchens were presented to the 33rd. Battallion by a delegation of Huron County ladies at Carling's Heights at noon on Wednes. day, June 24th, The 18ch, was given such kitchens prior to their departure from Loudon, and the 34th. Battallion received ite quota in Guelph. The 33rd. had only the ordinary equipment and the gen- erosity and patriotism of the donors. is accordingly very much appreciated. One of the kitchens is a large type for the men of the rank and Ole and the other for officers. A couple of addit- ional kitchens are yet required for the needs of the men. The kitchenpresented to the sold- iers weighs 3000 lbs., without any supplies, and is fitted with two large bins, one holding 250 lbs, of raw meae and the other two bushels of raw vegetables, ;cook's work table and carving board, a tool till. Under the tool till and to the back are two corn• partmente, one contains two canuisters for tea and the other one cannister for sugar and spaoe for small utensils These compartments are enclosed with drop doors, The cooking section is heavily lined with asbestos and steel so that food will remain warm for 21 hours in it. At the rear is a very large oven and over this oven is a hot water tank with a capacity of 33 gallons. The cooking is done in four containers which hold eleyen gallons. each, It is a great source of corfont' for tbe soldiers to know that the moment they have finished a hard day's work a hot meal is awaiting them. The ladies were introduced by Dr, Shaw, Mrs, F. Jean Fitton, of Exeter, reading the address which was signed by Mary E. Redmond, of Wingham; M. G. Manning, of Clinton; Elizabeth Gibson, of Godericb; Mrs, and Oscar Neil, of Seaforth; .Miss Gibson, of Godericb presented the receipt for.the kitchens, which were delivered, to Lieut. -Col, W. A.

He called attention to the good work ladies have done id Red Cross societies and in other eapac- Ries, and declared that the fair sex of Huron County to -day performs an act worthy of further Iaurels. The troops in action require good food and such kitchens are calculated to maintain a supply of the best available. Itir. Mus- grove facetiously expressed the hope that they would never fall into the bands that would ultilize them to line the Germans. The British, he said, have embarked upon a difloul t task and it is yp to those at home to take goad care of the men in the field. Dr, Redmond of Wingham, Capt. Heaman of the 33rd. Huron Regiment and others were with the party. While it was the intention to make the presentation informal, Col. L. W. Shannon, commanding officer of the division, and others of the staff were present. Later the ladies -were enter- tained by the officers of the 33rd.

PERTH COUNTY DRY Twenty-nine Licenses and Three Shops to be cut off on May 1st, 1916. As a result of the voting on the C. T. A. in Perth on Thursday, June 24th. Perth county goes dry by a majority of 200, with the exception of the City of Stratford, goes dry under the pro- visions of the Canadian Temperance Act. This means the cutting of 20 hotels and three shops. 'The total vote was considered a large one, and interest throughout the County has been high for some time. The cam- paign was begun by the temperance forces about 15 months ago. Strat- ford, being an incorporated ciry, is not included in the act, All the towns and all the townships but four gave majorities for the act, In one of the four townships the vote- was a tie. MIL't'ERTON A SURPRISE A big surprise was the Town of Mil- verton, where the result was in fayor of the act by a margin of 29. In this town the temperance people expected that it would go heavily the other way. Some attribute the result to the fact that Rev. Dr. Gordon, a well- known speaker, has • been holding meetings in Milverton for some time, paving special attention to the liquor question. The battle was fought stubbornly on both sides, the antis conducting a campaign of literature to offset the meetings held by the temperance forces. A feature 'of the campaign was the change in the deputy returning officer after Carl Rook of Brodhagen, had been gazetted for the position, The temperance people protested against him. Sheriff Magwood, of Stratford, was named to act. The passage of the act means that North Perth will lose 15 hotel licenses and one shop license; South Perth, 14 hotels. and two shop license. It is thought that the county will come un- der the operation of the act next May. The figures of the vote; 4A 0 Is r. ',a .,S?
