Mr. Busby 'had been in •his usual health and Saturday night attended special services in the Egmondville Presbyterian. church, re- turning about 10.30 and going to 'his room shortly afterward. He came': to Seaforth a few years ago, and by his genial disposition made many friends, It es ecia p y amongthe i kiddies,. s with whom he was a general favorite. He was prominent in Masonic circles The body was sent 'to Tweed on Mon- day. `' HOCKEY. Two fast ,games of hockey were witnessed at the Palace Rink on Sat- urday morning last when four teams played for the Duncan Cup. The first battle was between "Johnstone's Jug- glers" the. end and the "first Cperriol'sd ets," At Pets were leading and when the time was up at end of the second, they were still on top. In the third stanza the Jugglers came back strong and over- came the lead of the Pets with the resulting score 4-3, Although the seating space was not crowded- there was much excitement and cheering. The teams were: Jugglers - Goal, Hutsser; r defence, G. Parties; left defence, R. McGregor; r wing, A. Phillips; 1. wing. Alex. . Kennedy; centre, Les. Knight. Pets -Goal, B. Lane;, r. defence, R. I. defence, A. Edmunds; r. wing, Willis;G. Rolp'h; 1. wing "Tim" Well- and' 'centre, F. Willis; sub.,Crich. The Highlanders were beaten in the second game by the Hustlers 4-I. Although not so even there was more combination and the class of 'hockey was certainly worth seeing. The game was clean and the play fast. Five pen- alties were handed out by the eeferee, Dot Reid,, but ithese were for minor offenses. There will be two more games this Saturday and a crowd of fans is likely to be on hand to cheer.

C Reeves EGIVIONDVILLE '.Che special series of 'evangelistic' meetirjgs in the Egmondville church have been continued with increasing interest and very largecon;grega- tions. In spite of conditions of roads and weather that ordinarily might have daunted any but stout hearts, even the rural part of the congrega-I tion have responded 'en masse, Mr. i Robinson has captured the sympathy and affections of Tile entire cam munity by his splendid gospel ap- peals. N'ot ill the slightest degree 'dries he affect the'bizarre and unusual methods which in so many cases bring evangelism into disfavor and sometimes even disrepute. He takes the most familiar' and brit loved no" - tions of the Word of God„and in his own inimitably ',original, yet thor- oughly evangelical way, he makes them live again for his hearers, while his keen sense of humor -and -fund of splendid stories -adds lust the seeded touch. .Addeti,..,.to Mr. Robinson's power as a gospel. •Preacher is his outstanding ability as a musical con - riveter, Both choir and conereea-1 tion have caught the contagion of his enthusiasm and are singing with a vim and expression Chet' almost sur-' f d d, e E e ri noses 'themselves, The eniovment o the music is increased by Miss Grim ent's sympathetic acconrpanin;ent and her hymn improvisations an solos have been greatly appreciated Mr. Koffend, the, third member o the team, 'has also greatly drdighte tire' large 'congregations by his solos, and his Wednesday and Sunday ob jeet talks 'to the boys and girls hay given him a sure place. in their re gard. One of the, special feature has been the plettfee nights. It' is th general .cqusen•sus oif opinion that th views are the finest that have eve been seen in this locality, The repro ductions of the great masters, the scenic slides from different countries of the • East -especially from Syria, Palestine and Egypt and the ilitis- trated hymn elides are all alike, re- markable for clearness and depth and beauty. On Wednesday night Mr. Koffend uses the lantern to illustrate the kind of work being done in con- tiection with Evangel Hall, Toronto -a Gospel mission initiated by Mr, Robinson and of which Mr. Koffend'•s parents are in charge. All the sub- sequent meetings -up till the close on Sunday evening, Feb. 8th, will:be in charge of Mr. Robinson. Owing to a tour of Rev. S. D. Gordon, which. almost necessitates Mr. Robinson's presence, the mission' is being short- ened by three days. The remaining nights and the Sunday services will all be, replete with special features, as well as the fervent gospel appeals which have placed Mr. Robinson in the very forefront of Canadian evan- gelists. In addition to the regular Sunday services at 11 a,m. and 7.30 p.m. there will be a special service on Sunday at 3 p.m. At this service Mr. Robinson will give his famous dramatic presentation of "Old Ken" -a thrilling story of Western mining life, The thanks of the congregation and of all who 'have attended the meetings are due -to Mr. W. 5. Walk- er who has so kindly loaned his new Sherlock Manning piano for the term, Miss Grunert's'work for the piano has delighted all who have heard and she was very greatly pleased with the depth and purity of tone, unusual in a, small piano. Mr, Hamilton, who comes to finish out the meetingsi sal also a pianist of large experience and one who will maintain the high standard already reached. A very hearty invitation is extend- ed to all who canbe present at the forthcoming meetings. A special in- vitation to those who have not yet been able to attend.

Just two weeks ago the doctor was again called and gave very little hope of recovery, Although everything possible was done to al- leviate suffering and Check disease all was of no avail, Mrs. Watson was born in the vicinity of Mitchell on the 27th day of October, 1857, and was wtherefore 67 years and three months old.
