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. JAMES 'T. KEYS. WINGHAM 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.

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 haVe to, get hydro Mr. Farmer.—Ow- 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.

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 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.

Col. Graham had. so bly and skilfully led in command ne of the divisions at the greatest all battles during the great war, ut he was so modest in his lecture at he scarcely ever alluded to his wit part in the engagement, -but was ud in his praise . of all the other eaders and the soldiers, espeeially e Canadians .with whom he was entified and was leading and as he ye his most interesting and thrill - g account of that great battle) a in could have been heard to fall so tense was the interest and atten- n of his listeners.
