Mr. Richard Johnston Run. Over By Horses And Binder. While cutting gt>.t,in on Monday morning, Mr. Richard Johnston of the firstconcession routes ion of Morrie, met with an accident which may prove fatal, He was fixing the table canvas on his binder when bis horses took fright and bolted away. Mr. Johnston ran through the grain and caught one by the head, but was knocked down• by one of the horses falling on him. The binder passed over his body catching him on one of the guards and plough- ingthrough it th o gh the ground for a con- siderable distance until a stone hit the guard and threw the table up which no doubt was the means of Mr. John' eton not being killed instantly. Fer- tuuately a number of ditchers were working near and seeing the runaway hastened to his relief. Mr. Johnston's sons were working in the field nearby as were some berrypickers. He was badly cut about the neck and head and his leg is broken near the ankle, besides other internal injuries. The unfortunate man is doing as well as can be expected and his many friends are hopeful of his recovery. EXAMINATION RESULTS.

The following letter was written by a young man who is well and favor- ably known, in Wingham, He has heard the call to enlist and is writin g to a friend telling him of his decision : July 291h, 1915 Dear Friend:—I want to tell you of a decision I arrived at last Sunday night, the result of which was that on Monday morning I sent in my appli- cation for permission from Ottawa to enlist for active service. This will no doubt come as a sur- prise to you as I never expressed a very strong desire for war and as far as the liking of it is concerned my attitude remains the same. Nothing but the sense of duty makes me do it. I realize this is a world war. A com- bat between the people and the devil. Civilization itself is at stake. More men are wanted is the cry of Canada. The question I had to decide for myself was, have I,as a man in the bloom of life, and perfectly fit, and no one to depend on me, a moral right to remain idle and see women become widows and children become orphans. My resolution was NO. I haven't yet told my dear mother, bet I maw my brother yesterday and told him to give my mother an idea of my inten- tions. I thought it was the easier way for both of us for me to make my decision first and tell her after- wards. I will not ikely live in Wingham for some time again, possibly never, but will pay it a visit before I leave. Yours sincerely, We would like to use the writer's name to this letter, but he does not wish it, In publishing it, we hope it will be the means of showing some young men, the really honorable way to handle this question which is upper- most in the minds of many, both the married and single men at the present time. a A Narrow Escape What might have been a serious accident occured at. the Bell factory recently, while coming down on the hoist, Mr, Chas, Bowden was struei. on the shoulder by a file which • fell from the top floor. The point of the file stuck in Mr, Bowden's shoulder. Had the file fallen a few inches over it might have hit him on the head and resulted fatally.
