The deceased, who was in his ninetieth year, was the. father of Mrs. J. F. Wasmann, and for the past four years or so had made his home with ger. About' a month ago Mr. ,Pollard sustained a fall, from the effects of which he never fully recovered, and it is thought that this hastened his end. He was up town a fortnight ago but since that time had been confined to the house. The• late Mr. Pollard was born In County Carlow, Ireland, and came to this country when about eighteen years of age. He first settled in Hibbert township, where he resided for several years, moving to Morris township shout , twenty-five years ago. Here he continued U,r'Ining un- til about fifteen years ago when be left the farm to his son and retired. Four years ago his wife passed on before, this being the first break in the fancily circle, their nine children being still alive. Since the death of his wife Mr. Pollard ihad made his home with Mrs. Wasmann for the most part but he often visited bis other children, going to 11'lichigan and to the Canadian Soo to visit his sons last summer. He was of an active turn and loved the out-of- doors. When he was feeling well he spent :nest of his time out in tine open. Fie was of a' quiet disposition, kindly and sociable and was devoted to his family, He was a member of the Anglican Church.

Chuitclllor -J, 'P. Sheppard happen- ed with an accident on Tuesday fore- noon which, it is feared, will lay him up for ,some weeks. IIe mount- ed a stool and was reaching up to a high shelf in his store after some- thing when by some moans Itis foot slipped, he lost his balance and in falling gave his . ankle a severe wrench and it is thought that a small hone may ire broken, Anyway at time of writing it is a pretty Painful ankle. Dr. Evans came along soon after the accident and took Mr. Sheppard hone in his auto. Being shorthanded in the store this acci- dent was the more unfortunate as DIF. Sheppard feels that he can ill be spared. SEND US PROPER ADDIIESS, A number or copies of The News - Record have boon going .weekly to members of the 301st ever since they left for overseas. Most of these boys are now in France, and while some of the relatives of these then have come in and given new address- es, to which the papers are being sent, several have not done so and the papers are still being mailed to English addresses. The News -Record does not charge for postage on papers going to the boys from this locality who are in France, we pay that postage our- selves, so that a paper sent to your lad in France costs no more than Ono going to Londesboro or Bayfold. Wo would • request, however, that the next of bin of the boys whose names are already •on our list write or tele- phone in the proper address to which the paper may be sent.

The dog poisoner is again on his rounds, several dogs having been despatched to the 'happy stunting grounds' during the past week. Most- ly tate viotf3ns 'have been harmless canines and in almost every casb was a family pet. The role of dog poisoner is one which few people care to take and that It is not one of which many ogre. to boast is proved by the fact that it is usual- ly done in secret, the perpetrator taking care to cover his tracks pret- ty well. THE NEW COUNTY OFFICE. The stand on the corner of Albert and Rattenhury streets, until re- cently occupied by Bradshaw's var- iety store, is being fitted up for an office for Huron county's agricultur- al representative. A new wiillow is being put in the north side, where a .private office is situated, town water is being installed, it will be newly decorated and when the place is finished will he an office worthy of the representative of so impor- tant a county as Huron.

The Maisons thank now has upon its staff five women, two having been taken on during the past week, while the Royal has two. In the latter a woman oc- cupies the position next to the man- ager while in the former a woman acts as teller. Will they make good ? We shall wait and see but we think they will. G.T.R. CHANGES. The London trains are again run- ning this week, the one from 'Leedon reaching here at ten -thirty • a.m. and the afternoon, train Coshing down from Wingkam at four -fifteen. The restoration of these two trains is a great convenience to the towns along the line. of traffic. - Other changes which went into ef- fect on Monday were the earlier train from Godericb, which now reaches Clinton at six -eighteen in- stead of seven -thirty, and the Strat- ford train going west, which conies in now at eight minutes after six in- stead of fir's-nfty-eight 11.111 as form- erly. One disadvantage of the change in the time. table is the failure of the morning trains from the west and the north to connect here. Any- one coining down from the north to catch a train east will he. obliged to wait over for the afternoon train as the Stratford train docs not wait for the one from the north as formerly. LUCIDITY COUNTS. SEE TJIIS PLAY SATURDAY..
