Master Stephen and Miss Mary Mc-
Kay, who have been successful stu-
dents
tudents in their entrance exams in this
school, are now attending .the Sea -
forth Collegiate Institute.
Our school opened as usual with
Miss Beer, the, former teacher.
Singe the 'war has started much
sympathy is felt for those who are
of kin, and if those who migrated'
from Germany as our early .pioneers
and hewed out homes for themselves,
had remained there, they would have
no homes to enjoy the freedom of
conscience and worship at whatever
shrine they chose. Our sincere pray-
er is, that peace will prevail in the
near future.

Death of John Wesley French '
A cloud' .ef sorrow was cant over
this village and •community on Satur-
day last, Sept. 9bhy, when it was learn-
ed that death had claimed a loving
husband, a kind friend and a good
neighbor in the person of John Wes-
ley French, of this village, who pass-
ed away' in Scott Memorial Hospital,
Seaforth, after an illness of some
duration. Mr. French, who had not
been in the berst of health for some
time, suffering from the effects of a
sore 'hand, was able to be up and
around, and it was only in the last
few weeks his condition became ser-
iou's.and he was taken to the Sea -
forth hospital; where he underwent
an operation in the hope that he
ml„'ht be greatly benefitted. He was
progressing nicely and• i't was the
loops of his many friends that he
would soon be able to return to bis
home here, when a change for • the
worse set in and with little warning
he passed peacefully away, which
was a shock, to his bereave:} wife and
friends here. Mr, French was a son
of the late John and Mary French
and was born in Toronto 'I'ow-nship
some 75 years ago. It was in the
year 1903 that he was united in mar-
riage to Reta i'pshall, daughter of
the late Mr, and Mrs. Jos. Lpshall,
i'cu' nary years residents of the vil-
lage. After their marriage Mr.
1't er.ch farmed •for some years at
Port Elgin and later m•ovod to the
2nd concession of 'l'uckersnlit,h, w'h•cre
he coniin111(1 to farm until he •retired
to the village about thil'ty years ago.
The deceased all through his life
was a remarkably active man and
wee blessed with a great measure of
goal health, incl it was only the last
i'enloutas-thlat he had been unable,
tpw' work. In the passing away of Mr.
lerei illi it might be well said that
this community 1'ac lost n kind friend
and n• good neighbor. He is surviv-
ed by his sorrow'ine wife, who at
111 1Line has the syolp11;,y of the
whole (ouinillnIty. Mr, trench was
