Wilkinson, Escanaba, Michigan, who with their two sons, are visiting in this elocality. It is about ..23 years since Mr. Wilkinson left the scene of his childhood to make for himself a hoe in Escanaba Mich., about 3 years latpr he rennet - •ed and took to himself partner in life in the person of Miss Ellen Stone- house of I3elgrave. Relatives were there for miles around and, every one enjoyed themselves, .to the fullest Games of all kinds vverC indulged in and Mr. Wilkinsop in. a very spicy address thanked all present for their presence and hoped that all would meet again at some future time. ad Motor Smash Two Riverdale men, narrowly escap- ed death in a serious auto accident on the towit line of Greenock and Culross •on Sunday night. Two young men, Herbert Petteplace and Wm. Stanley were driving at a stiff slip about a and a quarter west of Enniikillen near the edge of the swamp. At a curve in the road the right wheel of 'their Ford car struck a stump at the right side of the road, causing the car to deflect to the left. Petteplace, who .was driving, turned the car to the right and then jumped. The car was coming to a culvert and took a double flop, inakihg a complete somersault, but facing in the opposite direction. Stanley, who was thrown out, was• struck by the bounding- car and badly crushed. His left arm was fractured above the elbow, his left shoulder blade cracked and. the skin scraped off the shoulder, his right collar bone was broken and two ribs cracked near the spine, as well as being other- , 'wise seriously hurt. Petteplace was badly bruised oil the left shoulder and left elbow by his speedy collision with the hard ground, The Ford had its front wheel broken and twisted, as well as receiving minor damages. Broadcasting His Sermons . Grace Church, Calgary, of which Dr, Robert Johnston, brother of Mrs. Jatnes Warren, of Walkerton, is the minister, has installed a radio plant that wili give to the seryleeS of that church a continent wide congregation. Messages from this plant have al - .ready been( received in England and on, board a Pacific linen within elevetz 'hundred miles off the coast of Japan. It is the intention of the Grant Radio Co. of Calgary to greatly enlarge the •capacity of the "plant this fall, and it ' riot impossible, pericape not impro- bable, that Dr. Johnston's ermons this winter may be heard not only in all parts of this continent but in China . and Japan as well as in Great Bri- tain, thus fulfilling in part at least a forecast which he made some years ago,that a time would conie when a minister preaching in Canada rnight have • his congregations in the five -continents of the world. In particular nr; Dr. Johnston is hopeful that this new step in. "the recovery under the •captainey of Jesus Christ of man's 'dominion over the creation" will ef- fectively assist the Church in meeting the serious problem of =supplied Home Mission Fields in Western Canada during the winter months, a problem in which Grace Chttreli, in common with others, has always • been deeply interested.

To those who have already paid the war tax we wish to say, by applying to the party from whom you purchased, yoti may have the war tax refunded. It would almost appearthat Witighant would have a neat balance after the sale of tickets and single ad- missions to Chautatiqua this year and all money over and above expenses will be given to the Wingham General Hospital. Fine Paid to Winghatre Magistrate Reid handed over to the town treasurer, Mr, W, -A, Galbraith, the sum of $200, being the film impos- ed on a resident ,of Cliesley for being drunk hi Wingham on July 12th. This mall was arrested by Chief Allen, And since the council has passed a by-law making him a special constable under the O. T. A. the fines are given over to the town treasury instead of ping to the County. It is very discourag- ing for a constable to enforce the laws however, when he nuist wait until the magistrate tomes from Goderich.
