Venom and hatred are the two leading characteristics displayed. Is the chief censor asleep that be passes such disloyal utter - armee? Hon. W. S. Fielding, who was fin- ance minister in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's cabinet, bas come out strongly in de- rence of the Canadian Government's nickel policy. He declares, through the columns of his paper, the Mont- real Journal of Commerce, that the Government bas acted well and en- tirely in the interests of Great Britain and the Allies. Still the Grit press will not express any regret for the scores of columns of abuse and vitu- peration which have been heaped on the Government about this same ques- tion. .. What Others Think The Christian Science Monitor of Boston, Maes., in an article on Can- ada's Minister ot Militia eaye in part: "The Minister of Militia has done things. He has done some wonder- ful things, some unbelievable things. In the doing of them he has stepped on many tender toes. He has not al. ways been considerate of individual feeling. It bas apparently been im- possible for him to attend to minor details. He hae been obliged to trust others. He has not always wisely placed bis trust. But he has done in the main what Canada and the Empire wauted him to do,and he has done it well." The "Sunday Pictorial" one of the clever journals of London, Eng. in speaking of Sir Sam Hughes calls him "The Kitchener of Canada." IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of Annie, second daughter, of David and Martha Breck- enridge who died in Fergus Hospital on Sunday, August 20th, 1916, aged 10 years, 7 months, 13 clays. There's another new grave over yon- der, Another dear one we have laid to rest, We'll miss her where'er we may wan- der, For she has gone to the chosen and blest. We'll miss her our lives for to brighten We'll mise her our sorrows to share; But Jesus in love and compassion, Has called her to rest over there. She is gone obi how we mice her As she rests beneath the cod There her form is calmly sleeping But her spirit is with God, We must live on earth without her Mies her all along the way And prepare our hearts to meet her, On that bright eternal day. We, though our lives may be saddened, Will meet her on yonder bright shore, For then every heart will be gladden- ed, With Jeeue we'll reign ever more.

Davis of town, was re elected Iligla Treasurer of the Independent Order of li'oresters, at the High Court last week, Town Clerk Ferguson has anade a. pleasing change on the corner of Pat• rink and Shuter Streets, in the appear- ance of the property he purchased last fall. The front has been levelled, and cement walks laid to the doors, The house has been repaired, re --shingled and tie painted, :to that the property is not only more attractive but more valuable. Myles Scott of Howiek, 'who was n' fork died recently injured with a stay , on Tuesday evening from the results of the injuries received. Mr, Thomas opens the Bazaar in the Button Block on Saturday. Goods of almost every desctiption are being put into stock; the variety and prices will be understood by a visit to the Bazaar; see his advt. in this issue. We trust Mr. Thomas will have no reason to regret chooeing our town as a loca- tion. Wes. Allenby has purchased the house and lot on Edward street owned and occupied by Fred Johnston. Mr. J. expecte to occupy his new home about the let of October, wheu Wes. will take possession of his purchase.. On Thursday last, R. 3, Irwin was drawing wheat loose in the waggon box, from the G. T. R, station to the mill, Just as he reached the centre of the bridge he noticed John Mc- Lean's horse attached to the dray, qn a wild run down the hill without a driver. He quickly drew as close to one aide as possible, and see- ing there would be a collison, he jumped off behind. The crash came; Lhe mill waggon was upset, and four- teen bushels of wheat dumped into the river. The mill waggon was brok- en, and the horse cut in' some 'places McLean's horse and waggon came to.a stand -still, and received little or no injury. For a while R. J. thought he would have to jump into the river to escape injury. A cad drowning accident occurred on Wednesday ' afternoon. Little George Lediett aged four years, and hie sister a few yeare older, went out on the dam near the foot of Patrick street, When they bad got ot.t some distance, they found ditii culty in rowing back; George, became frightened and jumped into the water thinking he could get to the shore, Children on the shore gave the • alarm at the child's home. Mr. Ledeitt row- ed out and found the little fellow floating on the water. He brought him to shore, secured medical aid as speedily as posssible, but all efforts to resuscitate him were unavailing. The death of George Payne on Sat- urday last, removed one who for many years has been a familiar figure on our streets. He was a native of E agland. and any relatives he may have are still there. Deceased was nearly 65 years of age. He was intelligent, well edu- cated and honourable. The corner of Minnie and Victoria streets will, ere the summer passes, present achanged appearance to what. it has had for yeare, The removal of the old foundry, its transformation by J. J. Elliott into firet-Claes Veterinary stables and the erection of Mr. Elliott'e new residence will be a pleasing change On the opposite corner. Thos. Arm- strong's brick'residepce will also add to the improvement in appearance of that corner. The brickwork of the latter is nearly completed.

One death and two ether vases under surveillance is the record of infantile paralysis' toll among the children of a party of Indians, engaged in pulling 'lax in Hullett Township. The out- break of the dreaded children's scourge was Bret reported to Dr. Allison of Birth a week ago yesterday. Since that time two other eases have been the third of which proved fatal, In the other two oases, a boy of two years old and another of five, recove eries are reported by Dr. Allison. The dead child was five years of age, Whether there will be an epidemic among the Indiana ie something that Dr. Allison cannot foretell. "Isolation and quarantine, so neces- sary for the treatment of infantile par. alyeis, are something hard to enforce in any Indian reservation or encamp- ment, and it is hard to tell what may happen in Hale party," said De. Allison, "We are doing what we can to pre• vent any spread of the disease, and are watching for further symptoms, but it is next to impossible to enforce the requisite isolation. "It has been reported that theca are 23 other young children in the band, band which comprises 15 or 16 families and these will be carefully looked after to prevent any spread of the disease, There have been no cases among the white population of the district," AUBURN'S BIG DAY Our village was the central point of attraction for a large section Wednes- day, people coming from all directions to take part in the civic holiday picnic arranged under the auspices of the Red Cross Society. Hundreds of peo- ple gathered in the afternoon at the picnic grounds south of the bridge, and the program of events carried out kept up the interest of the gathering throughout the afternoon. The peo- ple of Dungannon in neighborly fash- ion also made the day their civic holi- day, and a large number of them were present and joined in the day's doings. The winners in the games were as fol- lows: Boys,' race, 12 to 16 years, lst Fred Wagner, 2ad Hector McLeod, 3rd Wesley Killougb; boys' race 12 years and under, 1st H. Nicholson, 2nd A.

The Iadies' baseball match be- tween teams from Londesboro, and the McGowan sectionaof East Wawa - nosh resulted in a win for the girls from McGowan'e. It was an exciting game and both teams put up some splendid play. While defeated, the Londesboro girls are not dismayed, but are looking for a return match. Everybody ready for supper when rY y w as y PP w the time came, and the repast was heartily enjoyed, After supper a baseball game was played between teams from Auburn and Dungannon, the borne team winning. When dark - nese fell the picnic grounds were de. serted and a large audience filled the Foresters' Hall, where an excellent program was given. Dr, B. C. Weir occupied the chair and kept things running smoothly. .Miss Isabelle Peace gave several elocutionary num- bers and vocal solos which were re- ceived with hearty appreciation. Her humorous selections especially caught the fancy of the audience and she was repeatedly recalled, Mise Peace will be heard bere again with pleasure, Rev. J. Abery, of Londesboro, gave an address on the war, sketching the progress of the struggle from its in- ception to the present time, and pre- dicting that it would not close until the fall of 1917 or some time in 1918. Mr. Abery is a favorite here and was heard with keen interest. Mr, Ray- mond Redmond, Westfield's clever violiniet, gave several select•ons at d maintained hie reputation as a skillful musician who knows how to please his audience. The accowpanists of the evening were Mise Wightwan and Mise Howson. The proceeds of the day were $225, which will make a handsome addition to the Red Cross funds, Mach credit le due the varioue committees who made and carried out the arrangements to give all present a good time, and thanks especially are due to the ladies of the McGowan's and Londesboro's baseball teams for coining to give ue such a good exhibi- tion of baseball.

On further examination however new facts developed and it may be possible , .bat more mystery Iles back of this. skeleton "Bud" than was an first sup, posed. Mr. Il. 0, Tuoker has made quite a study of phrenology and on examining the skulls he is thoroughly convinced that the skulls are not those of Indians but of white men. Mr, ',Pucker saw only three skulls and his theory of the matter leads us back to a mys- terioue disappearanee a th t occurred d thirty or forty yeareago, over which the whole country was aroused, This was the White Cloud Island mystery, A Captain Charles Fothergill of Dat by, owned a sawmill on White Cloud Island and in 1868 he started for`that island in a sail boat with the intention of paying his mill hands with some $2,000 in cash which he bad received from the sale of a farm. The weather was good and he had induced a couple of his friends to make the journey with him. These were George Brown, Postmaster of Owen Sound, John Rob- inson, a gentleman from the Southern States and an invalid sailor. The sail boat left Owen Sound and that was the last"that was ever seen of the par- ty. The boat was seen to pass Big Bay with another sail boat following close behind and many afterwards be- lieved that this second boat contained outlaws in pursuit of the party. At that time there was a notorious out- Iew named Townehead who lived near Big Bay and who afterwards was killed in a brawl in Mexico, where he had gone to establish a sbloon and gambling den. To reach White Cloud Island a boat would pass right by this southwest corner of Gritiith'e Island where the skeletons were unearthed, and if it is true that the Fothergill party were the victims of foul play at the bands of Townshead, the most convenient place for the concealment of his crime would be at this very point. Mr. Tucker thinks this a more probable explanation and his state- ment that the skulls are those of white men will no doubt be confirmed when the matter is more thoroughly looked into.—Owen Sound Sun, Morris Aleft, Speir came home from the West and took Mrs. Speir and children back with him this week. We wish them well.

Harold was about to return to Camp Borden and to show the appreciation felt, John Thynne read the following address, Willie Clark presented a fine wrist watch to the soldier:— •Dear Friend.—We, your friends of this neighborhood assembled here this eve- ning, wish to tender to you our ap preciation of you as a friend, neighbor, companion and gentleman and also to ex-, press our good wishes for your future web - fate As a friend you have been true; as a neighbor obliging} as a gentleman al- ways kind and .courteous, and we hope that in the future the same kind Provid ence that has watched over you will be your stayand comfort. As you are about to Leave for the battlefield to fight for Free- dom, Righteousness and Natiye Land and in defence of our homes and firesides, we ask you to accept this wrist watch, which we hope will ever be a reminder of the un- broken friendship that exists between us and we trust that you may be spared to see the end ot the war and return to your home and to our social circle. Signed on behalf c f alt. Johit 'lhyune Willie Clark. Although completely taken by surprise Pte. Kearney made a brief but most suit- able.reply for the kindness shown him, which he valued most highly. An enjoy able time was spent in vocal and instru- mental music, after which tuneh was served in which ice cream and cake were g• enerously served, The company separ- ated with cheers for the guest of the evening. Pte, Kearney left on Saturday with other members of the 101st Battalion to continue their program of drill, We wish him a safe return when the war is over. • DATES t* FALL FAIRS, 1916 issued by the Agricultural Societies Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto, J.
