CROMARTY
Notes.—The recent -rains and balmy
spring zephyrs have taken away con-
siderable snow, but left the roads in
a very bad condition. The heavy
showers were very acceptable as a
number of people were complaining
of the scarcity of water.—Wedding
bells were ringing in our midst.—
Mr. and Mrs. Walker were at home
to a number of the young people on

evening was Father unpleasant the

STANLEY
Answer to Open Letter.—Through
the columns of your valuable paper,
'in last week's issue we received a
rather uncomplimentary open letter
from Varna Branch of the U. F. 0.
In. answer to same wish to say that
I was terribly surprised and very
sorry to find so many of my neigh-
bors and U. F. 0. members, viz., John
Rathwell, Alex. McConnell, Frank
Welch, Art Keys, Mort. Elliott, Alex.
Mitchell, John Pepper, apparently so
anxious to see their names in the
' paper print, that they allowed them
to come out in connection with an
article demanding a debate at my
expense, and also accusing me of
making a certain statement concern-
ing the V. F. 0. at the Board of
Agriculture meeting, held in Varna
Hall in January.
However, they admit it was -a re-
port. If they are so anxious to make
it public, out of respect for them-
selves and the institution to which
- they belong, methinks it would be in
order for them to call again on their
learned reporter, and bowing at his
feet humbly ask for a correct state-
ment ef what was said and the con-
nection in which it was placed, and
-the intimation why so.

A Big Tree.—What one tree alone
can do towards making a living for
the fortunate man who happens to
have it growing on his property, was
demonstrated a few days ago when
e. huge soft elm tree was cut in Wm.
-Elson's bush, seven miles out of
Watgltam. This tree was cut into
three twelve -foot logs, and teamed to
F. McLean's mill in Wingham, to be
cut in lumber. The result was as
follows; The bottom log, off the
stump, yielded 1,000 feet of lumber;
EXETER .
Sudden Deaths.—The tragic snuffing
out of the lives of two Exeter men,
caused a sensation in town on Tues-
day and much sympathy was express-
ed for the mother, who has been
seriously ill at the home of her daugh-
ter in London, suffering from influ-
enza. Early in the morning word wes
received by telephone frSim London
that Mr. Bert Piper had been found
dead in bed at the home of his sis-
ter, with whom he was residing. The
call had come for his brother John
to come immediately to London. On
'going to the home of the" latter to
inform him, the messenger could
get no response and some of the
neighbors knowing that he had been
in the house during the night, went
in and found him dead in bed. Mr.
Piper who had been living in town,
making a home for his widowed
mother,- was called to London on.
Wednesday of last week, owing to
her serious illness. He returned
home Monday evening. After coming
from the station he complained to
some friends that he was not feel-
ing -well with a pain in, the vicinity
of ,his heart. He was advised to see
a physician, but instead wept to his
home, nothing serious was noted by
those to whom he had been talking.
After° learning of John's death, Dr.
Hyndman, coroner, was called. He
got in touch with Dr. Ferguson, of
London, who stated that they had
found Bert's death was due to drink-
ing wood alcohol for liquor and that
an inquest was unnecessary. John's
remains have been shipped to Lon-
don, where a double funeral was held
from the home of the sister of the
deceased men. John was a laborer in
town and has worked for. years among
the farmers of this eommunity. He'
possessed a kind heart and genial dis-
position. The father of the family
died a number of years ago, leaving
the mother and nine children, all of
whom have grown up and have left
town. Bert left Exeter about four
years ago and served overseas.
GREY
Address 'anti Presentation.—It is
the old story over again—some mov-
ing out to let others in. This time it
is the O'Connors' move. So, on Sat-
urday evenirtg, the 13th inst., a whole
housefull of friends gathered at their
home on the 16th concession to mark
the event by expressions of 'apprecia-
tion and tokens of remembrance.
Each one got a nice and useful present
and the evening was pleasantly spent
with games, music and refreshments.
The following address was read by
Silas Johnston, and Charlie made 'a
nice ,reply:, Dear Miss O'Connor,
Charlie and Thomas:—This an im-
portant occasion, one fraught with'
many associations and countless re-
collections of :half a century your, long
residence on the 16th concession of
Grey almost makes your, 'familiar
faces look like a part of it. To many
the place will not seem the same
without you. New friends may be
just as .good but they never- fill the
vacant places of those who have gone
away from us. To -night we have met
to express in a small way our good
will, appreciations, considerations and
best wishes. We ask you' now to ac-
cept the presents which Mrs. Nolan
and Mrs. McDonald will hand you in
the same spirit in which they were
given. Your new home in Brussels
we hope you will be blessed with
good health, comfort and content-
ment. We can assure the people of
Brussels that they will find you a
peaceful and well-meaning people.
Signed on behalf of the neighbors by
T. W. Nolan, James Smillie, Jr., John
McDonald. The only landmark of
this part of the line that will now
be left is Mr. Speiran's pine tree,
planted over fifty years ago in the
old school yard, when Charlie Mc-
Lellan was teacher. Looking for-
ward fifty years seems a long time;
looking back those who have had the
experience can best explain:
Our frail position here below,
Is like some magic wand,
No more settled, no more sure
Than drifting, shifting sand.
BRUCEFIELD
Pied in the Village.—Mr. Buckler
died at the home of Mrs. Rouatt On
Saturday evening after some weeks'
illness. The deceased was a familiar
figure around the village for a num-
ber of years, coming with his family
from Beaverton about twenty-six
years ago. He farmed on the second
concession of Tuckersmith for a few
years, and was noted for the high
quality of stock which he kept.
About nineteen years ago he sold his
farm and moved into the village and
has been a resident up till the time
Of his death. The remains were
taken on the morning.teain on Mon-
day to Beaverton for interment. Mrs.
Buckler predeceased him about a
year ago.
Missionary Meeting.—The regular
meeting of the W. M. S. was held on
Wednesday, March 9th, and was one
of unusual interest.' Mrs. A. T. Scott
presided and Mrs. Dow gave a very
interesting talk on the needs of
India. The 'brightest gem in the
British Crown has a population of
333,000,000. Its immediate are doc-
tors, nurses, teachers and women_
missionaries. 'A very interesting let-
ter was read, written from Japan, by
-
(Mrs. John toss, 'formerly of Bruce -
field,) eproute for Formosa. Two
delegates were appointed to attend
the provincial meeting to be held 'in
Stratford. It was also decided to
send ,Easter offering envelopes- ,tO all

have an opportunity 4o help at the
glad Easter season.
Notes.,—Mr. Cecil Simpson is Open-
ing up a general store in the premises
recently vacated by Mr. Howey, and
is busy getting his stock in order for
the spring trade. Mr. Simpson in an
old village boy and needs no introduc-
tion to the trading public.—Our chop-
ping mill is shut down at present.
This is -very' inconvient to ,those who
Were depending on it for their chop,
especially at this season when the
roads are breaking up, as it is al -
.most Impossible to get to any of the
other towns with a team. You will

ing to the almost impassable condi-
tion of the roads on Friday last Mr.
Lebeau, south of the village, post-
poned his sale of pure bred cattle and
farm stock for a week. It will be
held this Friday. We hope Mr. Le -
beau is favored with better weath&
this time.—Mr. Earl• Collins has • a
number of men cutting logs in Mr.
Mustard's bush for the mill company.

Notes.—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jarrott
of Brigden, attended the funeral of
the latter's brother, Mr. Geo. Troyer
at Hills Green, and also visited with

ings to Mr. Wallis, of Clinton, the

not been enjoying good health. Her
many friends hope there will soon be
a change for the better.—Mrs. Rev,
Doan, of Hensall, the past week was
visiting with Mrs. W. H. Johnston
in the villa'ge.—Mr. Isaac Jarrott the
Past week was in Goderich paying a
visit to a very warm friend in the
person of Mr. Alex. Cameron, Deputy
Sheriff, of Goderich, who, for some
months, has been very poorly. Mr.
Cameron in days gone by when com-
ing Kippen way never failed to call
on Mr. Jarrott —Mr. George Hanley
has encaged with Mr. Norman Jones
to, help along the farm work. Mr.
Hanley. receives sixty dolleles a
month. When one takes into consid-
eration board, washing and house keep
it means practically ninety dollen a
month. It is no wonder 'that young
men say that it is only a waste of
time to learna trade when they can
demand this wage on a farm or thirty
dollars a week in a factory. The
majority of school teachers do not
command the same, and it is only the
matter of a few years when there
will be no mechanics and as in the
days of Samuel, farmers will have to
do their own mechanical work—With,
the storms and bad roads of the past
week the mail carriers have had their
own time. One carrier walked seven
miles with the mail on a hand sleigh.
Also many shoppers have walked to
the village.

The Seed Show.—The South Huron
-Agricultural Society were very un,
fortunate in. their choice of dates
for their annual seed show held, in
the Hensall town hall each' ispring.
The original date set which Was Fri-
day, February 27th, had to be cancel -
:ed owing to the flu ban, and the
eeeord date, which was Friday last,
found the roads, owing to the thaw,
in a practically impassable condition.
Consequently the exhibits were very
few and the anendance not up to the
mark set on previoug occasions. Mr.
P. I. Fancher, of Chatham, acted as
Jude e and gave the very best of sat-
isfaction. He also 'gave an address
to a good sized audience in the af-
ternoon, which contained a great deal
I of very, useful information and which
was thoroughly enjoyed by _ his hear-
ers. The following prizes were a-
warded: Barley, W. R. Dougall, Robt.
Thompson; oats, Robert McLaren, W.
R.,Dougall; Spring wheat, Robt. Mc-
Laren; beans, R. Thompson. The
annual Spring fair, of the Soctety
will be held on Tuesday, April 13th,
when one of the best premium lists
in the country will be offered.
.Briefs.—The thaw during the past
week has been so rapid that there
are many' bare spots on. the' roads
that only recently were very deep
with snow.—Very little maple sugar
or molasses has yet been made but
with good frosty nights and sunny
days a good season is looked for in
that line.—We regret • to state that
Mr. R. Higgins is and has been quite
poorlY for the past week or so and
also some of the family are also
confined to the house.—Our business
men and citizens generally have done
good work during the past week in
the way of getting large quantities
of ice and snow off the sidewalks,
which is much appreciated by all us-
ing the walks.—Miss Dolly Carlin who'
spent some months in the West with
,her sister, is expected' home this week.
—It is thought that anniversary ser-
vices will be held in Carmel church
about the first or second Sabbath in
the month of May as it seems almost
impossible to arrange for it much
sooner on account of the bad state
of the roads, and severity of the
weather, as ministers at a distance
do not like'eten take. the chances of
being caught in snow blockades.—
Mr. and Mrs. ,Chisolm, of Calgary,
Alberta, who have been in Scotland
for some time on a visit, have re-
cently arrived here and will spend a
short time with their relatives and
friends before returning to Calgary.
Mrs. Chisolm will be remembered here
as Miss Eliza Bell before her mar-
riage and notes many changes both
in our village and rural districts.—
The morning subject at •the Hensall
Methodist church will be "Grieving
the HolY Spirit," and the evening
subject "The Ideal Woman." The
ladies' choir will sing at both ser-
vices. Don't miss any of the series
as a welcome always awaits you.
--The Oyden News, of Oyden, Alta.,
contains an item of interest in a re-
cent issue in the matter of a .masquer-
ade dance given in the opera house
there, when for the best costume,

carried off by Miss Dolly Carlin, and
a Mr. Henry Herband of that town,
where Miss Carlin has been visiting,
the costume represented that of Lady

an and the weather and roads both
being very unfavorable, the attend-

hing in good order about him, is
reparing to put a better and more

x -mayor of the city of London, on
uesday evening last gave his lecture
The Work and Organization of the

hurch to a fair sized audience, who
ore than enjoyed his lecture of
early two hours from start to finish
nd pronounced it one of the best and
ost interesting given, and what
dded so much interest to it was the
ct that Lieut. Col. Graham had. so
bly and skilfully led in command

ut he was so modest in his lecture

emphasiied.the great work the church
and the many good associations had
done to help in the winning of the
war, and how that it now devolved on
the cturch and the nations who had
been honored by victory to establish

them provieions and. wearing apparel.
In' short the lecture was fine from
every standpoint of view, and a very
hearty yote of thinks was tendered
to the Jecturer. Thse male miartette
