this week, their household effects be-
ing shipped on Tuesday. Mr.
Lamont, who went there some time
ago, has secured a home. We are
sorry to See them remove from here
as they were good citizens. Mrs.
Lamont will be greatly missed in the
Presbyterian church as a member of
the women's Missionary Society, in
the Sunday School and Christian
Endeavor. She was ever ready to do
her part, Mise Myrtle will also be
missed in the sister church where • for
some time she has
assisted in the
Choir, Epworth League, Sabbath
School, etc. We feel that our lose
will be Brantford's gain and we wish
them prosperity in their new home,
