Special Services
The special 'revival services closed
with a reception service in the Meth-
• odist church on. Wednesday evening
last. The Rev. Mr. Moull is a very
earnest and impressive speaker, and
the meetings have been productive of
a great deal of good. Mr. Moult goes
to Chatsworth this week where he
Will he will conduct a series of meet-
ings in the Methodist church there.
Died In Kinloss
M rs. ' Mary Jane Uzell, the beloved
wife of Mr. Peter Ezell, of the 4th
conof hinloss died on Sunday last,
in the 21st year of her age. The de
ceased was a daughter of Mr. John
Webster, of the 12th eon. of Ashfield,
and the earnest sympathy of all is
extended to'her berieved husband and
friends in their sad bereavetnent. The
remains were interred in Zion c•emet•
ary.on Tuesday last.
Beautiful Fall Weather
The weather so far this fall has been
the finest •ever experienced in this
part of the country, and the whole
month of November would do cre_lit
to the September weather of other
years. The light frosts at night and
th4 continued wa to and dry weather
during the days have put the roads. , in
excellent condition for teaming, andas
a result enormous lords of grain are
daily being brought to our elevators at
the station.
The Boy and theGun
If a day goes by now without a lad
being injured or killed by handling a
gun, it is the exception. The latest
victim is a Chatham lad who went
hunting with an aged musket which
exploded, much of the weapon bang
afterward dux out of his arra. He
is seriously hurt. A law which woulil
have prevented hits going out with a
gun would have saved him perhaps an
arm. There is no such law, however.

Will Cause Appendicitis
A foreign surgeon has put forth the
suggestion that appendicitis is caused
by the habit of crossing the legs, which
restricts the action of the digestive
apparatus. The appendex is only
loosely attached to the caecum, and
there is also some half digested food
in the caecal bag. By crossing the
legs there is liability that the undi-
gested. food may pass into the vermi-
form appendix and set up an inflamat-
ation, in a few hours pathological pro-
cesses set in. and an attack of appen-
dicitis is developed.
Apple Shippers Lose Heavily
The apple trade of '1899 will long.
be remembered as the worst in the his-
tory of the trade. A wellknown shipper
who uuglit to know what he is talking
about has made the statement that
there is not a shipper in Canada who
Nvill be worth a dollar in the spring.
The apple business at hest is a most
uncertain one and dealers have a right.
to a ligitimate prot;t on their outlay,
but if they aro foolish eno•agh to pay
exorbitant prices for tate fruit to the
growers they have only themselves to
'blame. We were shown an apple
catalogue to -day issued by a Liverpool
}stoker and if the prices catalouged
there are .a fair sample of the market,
we have nothing but pity for the poor
shippers who are suffering as wa notice
some of the best brands are selling at
one shilling a barrel.
A Welt Trained Parrot
We have seen a good many parrots
in our time, but very seldom one that
c• ►old do touch talking. We ran across
one at Kinloss the other day, however,
that can talk. if not a3 volubly as the
proverbial auctioneer, at least quite
glibly for a parrot. The bird is owned
by Mr. 5. Braden, she merchant there,
and coat $6O in Toronto. It has been
developieg since he got it, and is now,
as parrots go, chcap at a hundred
dollars. "Polley can spell boy!" is
one sentnce it harped on greatly. but

Temperanoe Sunday
Last Sunday being Temperance Sun •
day a temperance lesson was taken up
in the Sabbath School and the pledge
circulated. At 4 o'clock a mass
meeting was held in the Town Hall
and the large audience testified to the
interest in the work in our town.
The chair was taken by Mrs. Bryan,
county president W.C.T. 11., and on
the platform were other oflicere of
both the Union and I. O. G. Templars.
After singing ''On ward Christian
Soldiers, by a union choir, and pr•4yer.
Miss Berry sang by request "Christ is
all in till." The speaker4 Evangelist
Moull of Toronto, was introduced.
Mr. Moull spoke for thirty minutes,
nut only on the evil of the traffic, bat
showed plainly that if the professedly
Christian manhood of Canada voted
for a prohibitory law, we would not
only receive the law but would have
it enforce i Ile drew attention_ to the
fact that our boys' clothing was protec
ted by law, his hods protected by lam,
but his immortal soul left to the wiles
of the liquor traffic, He closed with
a stirring appeal to the manhood of
Lucknow to awake from their apathy
and vote for God and home and every
land. The pledge was then passed and
re:eived a goodly number of names.
The thanks of the totnperance workers
are tendered to Mr. Moull for his
address, also to the Town Council for
the free use of the hall.—Com.
Laid at Rest
By the death of Mrs. Christer a
Barrie, at Kintail on Wednesday,
Nov. 15111, another of the old settlers
has been removed from the cotnmun-
ity,to join the majority in the great
beyond. A few - weeks ago the
deceased was stricken with a paralytic
stroke, from which she never rallied.
The best of medical aid was daily in
it varied this speech by whistling, j attendance. and notwithstanding every
calling the dog, the hired girl and
other members of ttic household. A
bird that can talk is an uncanny
looking thin, and gives one who is
not used to' it a sort of creepy feeling.
Still, Mr. Braden says that once one
gets used to it, it is great company,
and that for his own he would feel lost
without it.—Telescope.
Death of William Wilson
To the long list of deaths recorded
this year we have this week to add an-
other name, that of Mr. William Wil-
son, 12th concession, Weft Wawanofh
at the age of 75 years, being born on
January the 20th, 182.4, at Cilbrachan,
Renfrewshire, Scotland. When quite
young he learned the trade of weaving
with his father, whoWas in the etnploy
of one of the manufacturers in Paisley
which was then noted for the excel-
lency of its shawls and other woven
goods. When William was about 16
years of age his parents camo to this
country, and deceased lived for some
time about the Niagra district, moved
to Zora in 1842, and on October 30th,
1855 was married to Margaret Adison
at In ersol, by the Itev. R. Wallace.
They settled on lot 23, -con. 1 , Wes'.

nouncing his intention of retiring from
the Reev eship of the village at the end
of his present term of oilier. Mr.
Murdoch has boen Reeve of Lueknow
for the past three years and lie has
made an excellent official, and our cit-
izens generally will regret to hear of
his retirement front that ofli:e. His

to the Presbyterian church. The fun-

rounded by her affectionate family and
loving friends. The deceased was the
wife of the late Thomas Harris. who
was one of the pioneers on the bound-

departed this life 34 years ago. For
many years she has been a faithful
member of Knox church, Ripley, and
was widely esteemed by a wide circle
of friends. There remains to mourn

DIED IN RIPLEY
Malt
It is with deep sorrow we record the
death of the beloved wife of Mr. Alex.
McPherson on Monday November the
20th, 1899, in the 32ad year of her
age. Her sickness was of some
months duration and was borne with
christain patience. All that tenderest
love and medical skill could do was
done, to relieve her sufferings, but all
alas, inefectual to restore to health or
ward off the stroke of death. Her
ailment was Beverly critical, but hopes
of her recovery were entertained until
the last when she peacefully passed
aw ay.
It is a sore trial to the bereaved
husband to part with the companion
of his life and portion of his joys and
sorrows, and a sad and sorrowful event
to his three motherless children all of
whom are of tender ago, to lose a lov-
t ing 000ther whose endeavor it was t,o

Mr. Jae. Bryan, Lucknow, Ont.
DEAR SIR.—Enclosed find postal
note for one dollar for which please
renew my subscription to the Lucknow
Sentinel. Your paper is as good as a
letter and especially so to a man in a
mining town amid the mountains of
B. C.
Well, my dear friend, I am enjoying
good health and aro at present holding
a very fair position. I am working in
the grocery department of the firm
of the hunter -McKendrick Co., Ltd.,
and so far I would not think of ex-
changing it for teaching in Ontario nor
yet in B.C. This is a very large firm
having stores in every town in the
Boundary Country. In our Green-
wood store we have 15 clerks and em-
ployees. The business last month was
V21,000 so you can form an idea of
their mining trade.
This town of Greenwood is going to
be a great mining town, as great if not
greater than Rossland. Since a year
ago last May until now it has grown
from 600 to 3500 population. The
C. P. R. has built a road in here from
Robson at an expense of 5,000,000
dollars. They are building spurs to
every mine around Greenwood.
I would heartily recommend to any
person taking a trip to come through
B.C. The scenery is beyond descrip-
tion.
I do not know of anything more
to write. SJ wishing you every pros-
perity.
I am respectfully yours

LANGSIDE NEWS
John Richardson had au adventure
near Langside last week which he has
no desire to repeat. He had loaded
up his waggon,with empty barrels but
not having a rack on had to pile the
barrels up pretty high. Near Lang -
side some of the barrels rolled to the
front and Mr. Richareson was thrown
to the front of the waggon sustaining
a severe bruise on the shoulder. The
horses ran home and the owner follow-
ed on foot. Fortunately, little harm
was done to the horses and waggon.
