Newspapers and people who are kick- ing up such a row about railway trains, not running on schedule time during the past few weeks seem to forget the fact that this has been perhaps the cold- est and stormiest winter ever experieuie ed since railways began to run in Can- ada. There have been many heavy Salle of snow and no a sign of a tha+v to remove the accumulation, with the re- sult that there is a greater dept.' of snow ou the ground than has been Seen for many years, In some parts of vest - ern Ontario, a depth of from five tonine feet; of snow is reported. The winder is that under such circumstances tains are able to get through at all. The Grand Trunk service has come infor, what seems to us, uncalled for aneun- fair criticism. The officials of theliue are always anxious to give the best and most regular service possible, and as far as the eastern division betreeu Toronto and Montreal is concernedewes done very well, considering the upre- cedeuted difficulties in the form a cold and snow that they have had to cutend with. People who have be me .o ac- customed during recent ears tc lux- uriously equipped trains Tuning harp ou schedule tune, that hen nude ad- verse conditions, such s have prattled this winter, there is sometimes i little wait at the point eniharkatimer de- lay in reaching sir destinatio. they become nnreaeoi able urities, coil the officials at the railway, who ar dointe the best they uau, are often list un- justly blamed. The railway tenp(li les have nothing to gain by i.ot .uu2'ing sharp on time, but from the wy suu1, people talk one would thiuk 11,y 'fire keeping the trains late ou,.,,7iitrose. If Canadians would o,enee,[e the trouble to investigate-. Y would discover that they are f,•tng Inst as well, if not bet- tet,.r, tlx their neighbors across the line e great railroad systems running into New York, Boston and other places. There for some time trains have been running from one to ten hours late, and traffic outside the passenger service is practically tied up, And the American railways have not half the snow to con- tend with that the lines in Canada have. Keep easy, gentleman; give the rail- ways a chance; they are doing the best they can under the adverse circum- stances. -Brockville Recorder, Jan. 23. CHURCH NOTES. Four bishops and about forty clergy will leave England in the spring to con- duct the Anglican mission in South Africa. Special services will be held in St. Paul's church every evening during Lent. The first service will be hell on the even- ing of Ash Wednesday, 17th inst. In 1860 the Presbyterian Church in England had only 148 congregations, with 38,000 members. At the close of last year the congregations numbered 335 and the membership nearly 90,000. Twenty Presbyteries have answered the enquiry of the General Assembly Commission regarding the future of Queen's University, and nineteen of them favor continuing its present relation to the Church. The Sacrameat of the Lord's Supper was administered in the Methodist Church on Sunday Last. in the morn- ing the pastor, Rev. Dr. Gaudy, deliver- ed an appropriate and helpful common• and in the evening the pulpit was occu- pied by Rev. David Rogers, Chairman of the Wingham District. The congrega- tion was much pleased with the evening discourse. Rev. L. Norman Tucker, secretary of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada stated in an interview recently that the society had been successful in raising the $75,000 which the Church had been asked to give last year. The Board of the society, which represented the whole Church, had decided this year to appeal for $100.000. An Enterprising Druggist We desire to call our readers' attention to the fact that C. A. Campbell has ob- tained the local agency for the celebrated Chamberlain Medicines, which are man- ufacted by the Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des Moines, Iowa, U.S.A., and Toronto, Ont. This company is one of the oidest and most reliable in America, and comes highly recommended to the people of Wingham and to make their remedies a household article through this district they have made an advertising contract, which will appear in the columns of this paper during the next year. The line of remedies they manu- facturer ofa f r class that should be found isa in every home, since they are for the most common ailments such as every family have used fo} seine time during the year. They are: -Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera an I Diarrhoea Remedy. Chamberlain's C ugh Remedy, Cham- berlain's Pail Beim, Chamberlain's Stomach and ,pr Tablets. EINLOSS, Margaret McKinnon, beloved wife of Mr. Jelin McKinnon, elder, departed this lite on Wednesday, the 27th of Jan- uary, 1904. She was one of the poineers of Kinloss, was born in the year 1831 in Glendale, Isle of Skye. Invernesshire, Scotland, where she was brqught up, and where she married Mr. McKinnon in the year 1851. In the following year they mt.v.:d to Canada and after living one year iu Gleugarry, ,game to Kinloss and settled on the farm on which Mr. McKinnon still lives. Mrs. McKinnon was widely knowh for her meek, quiet and kind spirit. Her table was always ready for the stranger, and the poor were as welcome as the rich. Her eleven children, six sons and five daughters are all living. Ten of these stood by her beside as she passed away. GODERICU. Last Tuesday evening Mrs. John Allan died at the home of Wm. McCaughan, Keays street, where she had made her home for some years. For the past two years she had beer confined to bed ow- ing to an injury to her back sustained in a fall. Mrs. Allen, formerly Mary Tich- bourne, was born in the north of Ire- land and when a young woman came to this country, using at first with her brothers, William and Henry, since de- ceased, at Porter's Hill, they having come to this country previously. Later she went to Toronto and subsequent to that lived for a time in Colborne. In 1853 she was married to John Allen, a cattle dealer. ;.,ince his death, in 1864, she lived alone till a few years ago, when adviancing years made the atten- tion of kind hands necessary. Besides her two brothers already mentioned a third, died at Kincardine. Mrs. Mc- Caughan is aniece and Thos. Tichbourne, of Colborne, a nephew of the deceased. Mrs. Allen was a member of the Angli- can communion and for many years at- tended St. George's church. She was in her ninety-second year and her bro- thers William anti Henry also lived to about the same advanced age. The return raade by the acting regis- trar for the nine months ending Sept. 30, 1903, and that made by the registrar for the remaining three months, show the number of mortgages registered during the year to be 958, and their value $1,- 616,9.41,37. The number of mortgages discharged totalled 1105, leaving the number on the books, 147 less than at the close of 1902, Of the mortgages registered 13 Vlore not specified as to value, 406 $1000 or under, 234 were $2000 or under, 292 Were from $2000 to $5000, and 18 exceeded the latter sum. Two mechanics' liens were registered, and 158 wills; 881 searches were made and 1019 abstracts were furnished. The fees for the year wore $5,665.00, being less than those for 1902, which were $6,- 035.70. The amount paid for stationery and salaries. the fatter including the de- puty registrar's Selary for the last three months of 1903, wis $ 1 ,748.60; the sum received by the actng registrpr for '0 months, $2085.02, ant, that received by the registrar for 3 months, $453.37, the total being $2,530.29. The value of the mortgages discharged is not mentioned in the return, so we cannot tall whether their value is greater or less than that of those registered during the year. ttt►14N.
