And very nice did they look, on Friday last, the girls from Pringle's Gloye Works, ire their pretty cos- tumes, red ties, and white midies, the brave heroines•, who with but two months experience dared to go forth and play agrrinst the team of the Gorrie Girl Baseball players, who havo been organized for the past five yeare, and consequently experts in the game. The Gorrieites came off victorious though the Winghamites put up a splendid fight and scored some good rune. The Winghamites bear no ill -will to the Gorrieites, as the latter treated the m Cour- teously and well; the Umpire'sire's deci- sion wag however very questionable, he favouring undoubtedly the fair ones of Gerrie. The Wingbam girls took their defeat like trogans, the aftermath of it all was, faces that embed like the sunshine, in anticipa- tion, that in the near future, they would wear the laurels of victory and enjoy the triumphs of conquest. They wish to thank those gentlemen meet heartily who placed at their disposal their autos for the date—Com. t p DIND, WIri'TE -- In Carrick, on Monday.

A young man from Morris pleaded guilty to a charge of intoxication in a local option district and paid a fine of $20 CO and costs to Magistrate Morton on Tuesday morning.

PATRIOTIC NOTES The Women's Patriotic Society will meet tomorrow afternoon, Friday the 0:11„ in the Council Chamber at three o'clock. We are commencing the second year of this awful war, and from the outlook, the present year will not be less terrible than the past has been. If we could realize the awful conse- quences of leaving our men or our hospitals without being well prepared for all emergencies,we would surely lay aside all frivolous amusements and give more time and thought to the necessary work for women at the pre- sent time, namely, the work of pro- viding funds, for necessaries and com- forts for our soldiers and for the hos pitale, There are surely a great many women who coald give up an hour or more once a month to encourage the officers and memters of the Patriotic Society, by their attendance and ad- vice, thus showing their sympathy with the work, We hope for a large attendance on Friday afternoon. We all know it is holiday time, but the soldiers and nurses do not know it, Their work knows nothing o holidays,s+ hot weath- er or cold weather. It surely is easier to work here than where the ;Cannons roar. Let every person try to make a special effort towards helping the Women's Patriotic Society. Shipments of bandages and dressings continue regularly. We are still ask- ing for donations of old cotton for dressings and new cotton in five yard lengths- for bandages, all to be sent to Mrs, Pugh, corner Francis and Pat- rick Streete. CREAMERY ROBBED.

Another exemplification of the honor and esteem in which our gallant men who have succumbed to injuries in the great war are held, was afforded at Ramsgate on Tuesday afternoon. ^ > The mournful occasion in question was the interment of the mortal re- mains of Pte. D. L, Aitchison, of No. 3 Company, the Canadian Force, who passed away at the Ramsgate General Hospital, early on Saturday morning, The unfortunate young fellow, who was single, and had only recently at- tained his majority, left his home at Wingham, Ontario, Canada, in order to take hie share in the Empire's task of freeing Europa from a horrible system of cruelty and despatism and his courage as a volunteer cost him his life. 1In a fierce engagement in Fvance he received shocking injuries to the spine and back from shrapnel, and on his arrival with other wounded soldiers at Ramsgate on June 5th„ he was found to be in a practically help- less condition. he was conveyed to the Bethel V. A, D. hut was removed, the same evening to the Ramsgate General Hospital, where everything that med- ical skill could do proved unavailing and he passed away, peacefully early on Saturday morning as already men- tioned the absequios were marked • by a public tribute to his memory, the deceased being accorded a military funeral. A firing party of twelve men and two nou•commissioned officers of the 7th. Liverpools (4.1,h. Provisional Battalion), under Staff Sergt. Lillie, with arms reversed proceeded the gun carraige, which bore the remains of the deceased, and the Drum and Fife band of the regimeui also attended, giving a pathetic impression to the, impressive music of the Dead March in Saul. The gun carriage was drawn by a body of soldiers and the coffin was draped with the Union Jack and bore a number of beautiful wreaths and other floral tributes. The Ramsgate Training Corps to the number of twenty-five under Pla- toon Commander Mathews, brought up the rear of the cartage which also included a large muster of wounded soldiers present, under treatment at Ramsgate, anxious to pay a final tel.. bute of respect to the deceased. The interment took place at the Ramsgate cemetery, the funeral a- rangements being parried out by Wm. Blackburn & Son, Another Victim of Progress. The Lucknow-Goderich stage made its last trip on Saturday of last week, This stage has been a daily feature of the traffic on the road to Goderich ever since the days of rivalry between A. Polley of Goderich,and Jock Adams of Lucknow. XThis old institution is another victim of modern progress and change; the rural mail service having so far supplanted the stage as a mail carrier that the P. O. Dep. no longer considers it necessary to have a contract for the through service Without a mail -carrying contract, none of the stages are profitable for an every -day trip and in most cases, as soon as the mail•carrying is with. is taken e ft ero the stagek n of h ad. drawn Hale Arid Headty, Arthur Knox, now in his ninety- fifth year, has one of the finest gard- ens in town, comprising one quarter of an acre that he put in himself.
