Harold Campbell :-My DEAR MRS. CAMPBELL,-Pleaseaccept my sincerest sympathy to you in the loss ot your sou, Corp. H. Campbell, 127356, His brother will give yell, derails of his heath and burial, He died like the hero he was leading his section into a nest of machine guns and a trench mortar. A bullet bit him and killed him instautly, I lost a vety valuable N. C. 0., a mighty clean living boy and one always to be re lied upon, Often I thought how proud his mother must be of him and his brother, who stand out as two real men. All 111s pals, as well as all the officers of the Company thought a great deal of him and all of us feel bis loss very much. With all our most wonderful outstanding victory of the day a loss such as this softens the glow of triumph, but alas we cannot beat that beast of nations unless we fight, Again all I can say that my whole heart is with you, and your hus- band in these hours of trial, From another mother's boy.

Spotton, the independent Conservative candidate for North Huron, peel the bide off the "Ananias Club" ot Wingham. Richard Procter, Belgrave, made a model chair- man and introduced the silver toned 'rhos. R. Bennett and Juo. Groves, town Clerk, oe Wiugham, as curtain raisers, They did the trick all rigitt and with humor, "jabs" at the Kaiser band and hogeess for their favorite candidate filed in their time very well. Mr, Spotton spoke at length and almost en- tirely on personal matters and the way he had been cheated out of what was honestly his at North Huron Tory Con- veutiou. He bumped Hon, 'Ikey" Lucas for bis visit to Gerrie and Ford- wich and his attempt to stir up anti- pathies by disparaging Sir Wilfrid Laurier before a body of Orangemau ; of the members of the Provincial Cabe net to coax him out of the contest ; of Pion. Ferguson's denial that he said he thobght Spotton was cheated out of nomination and produced affidavits from Messrs, Procter, Vanstone, Town and Ellis who declared they heard him say so, of the silliness of Dr, Case peddling bis soldier boys pictures through rbe riding to draw sympathy ; and of his (Spotten't) disinclination to be hound down to follow the Hearst (hearse) &c., &c. A couple of hours were occupied in all but no attempt airs made to deal with public issues or discuss the questi- onsot the day. Mr. Spotton has a glib tongue and Irish wit and gave his W eig- ham political frieuds of other days a great blackballing. His crack at A. H. -Musgrove accepting Wingham Post - mastership instead of passing it over to a returned soldier lost its thud when folk knew that Geo. wss one of the head pushers urging Mt.

It was as follows BRUSSELS QouNeiL, GENTLEMEN. - Allow me to report conditions per- taining to Board of Health for the Village of Brussels, Influenza has been oar only disease of an epidemic mature this year and inside of the Corporation we have had only 8 cases. Of these 6 cases came home to Brus- sels suffering from the malady. There were only 2 cases of people who worked iu the Post Office. We have had no deaths. At present we are entirely free from any infections dis- eases whatsoever, When the epidem- ic reached Seaforth South of 319 we at once closed our churches and schools and forbade assemblies of any kind within the village. The advice ae to preventive treatment provided by the Provincial Board of Healtle and re- ceived by the Local Board, was hand- ed on to the citizens through the agency of THE BRUSSELS POST and also by the local physicians privately and my private opining is that the village was saved from many a death by taking the action we did. Every stable where horses are kept is pro- vided with a manure receptacle, with the exception of one, and Lille will be remedied before May lst, 1919., There was some Carelessness with some of the receptacles :not being covered, those rases were reported to our Board by the Constable regularly bet we diel require to use drastic measures to accomplish our pperp080 to have them kept closed, We appeal to the citizens to'report• cases of carelessness to the Constable. We must congrat- ulate the proprietors of our industries, the woollen n1i11, butter factory, plan- ing mill, livery stable, and carriage factory and blacksmith shops tuid •044♦•4••4.4.4••OO4.e-0•♦0000 0••0.0••04••••000•••0400•• 0 • 4 A 0 0 • s • 0 0 0 ♦ A • ♦ A A A A A A 0 CUTTERS LE 1 WHEELBA'HHOWS G e Now is the time to buy.

I ap- proached the Commit in 1917 to pass a By-law to introduce the dry earth system and have the closets cleaned tet least twice e. month during the Sum- mer months but they thought, how- ever, that it would not do to put the village to any extra expenses daring the war, and the matter was laid oven'. We expect however to remedy this condition during 1919.
