Pumpkins on Plum Tree.
We have heard of several freaks of
nature, but probably what at first
glance seemed the queerest of all, was.
to see a large pumpkin -hanging from
a limb of a plum tree in r Mr. O. W.
Hayden's garden. The pumpkin vine
unnoticed, had twined its way up the
body of a plum, tree, and out on to
one of the branches, where it contin-
ued to grow and bear fruit.
Struck By Train
On Thursda x6th i
y, inst., st., 'Thos.
Johnson was struck by a C. N. R.
freight train and fatally injured. He
had lived with his brother, Henry
for many years and on . Sept. 4th,
started, on his holiday trip, going to
Clinton to meetsome mute friends,
who, with him, were going to Spring -
bank on Labor Day to a Deaf-mute
picnic. This is an annual affair, and
was very much enjoyed by Mr. lJohn-
son. He went fromthere to Strat-
ford, Hamilton, London and other
places and was on his way home on
the 16th, coining from London on
the noon train and getting off at Be]
grave, where he started to walk back
the.ie mile to his home. The freight
has usually passed at g a.m. but that
day was three hours late and caught
up to him about a mile from the sta-
tion . Deceased would not be expect-
ing a freight at that timeof day and
being deaf could not hear it, He
was in his 65th year and was born
in Goderich township, coming with
his parents to/Morris 57 years ago.
He was ed$cated at the school for
deaf tat Belleville, )ittending there
tett terms, where he was taught shoe-
making eiso. He war, a great reader
ef the newspapers end tried to keep
in touch with passing. events. He
was very mitee. rrrt:erested in the
church for the deaf, built in Toronto,
for :which thea: had been preparing
for forty years. 1 -Ie attended the 3-
da; session at the "opening of it last
East er.
His bruised: body was laid to rest.
on Saturday in the Anglican C.eme-
ieyy'at Blyth, Itov, W. 13, Hawkins
c,enducting the services. The fun-
eral was 'very largely attended by
friends acid neighbors, also his bro-
ther, J. C. Johnson, Philadelphia; sis-
ter, Mrs .Wiglttrtzaan of Detroit, Clif-
fet;d Johnson, and wife, Galt; Thos..
O'Connor and wife Mr. Sours and
wife and M. Reynolds, Clinton. His
br6thers, John and Christopher, of
Sitirnon - Arm B.C. ''could not get
here, Mr .and Mrs, Sours were old
school mates of his et Belleville,
He will be greatly missed at the
old home from where so many have
Wen taken in the last few years.
There is no death in Heaven,
, For they who gain that shore
Have won their immortality,
And they can die no more,
Lord Jesus, be our Guide,
0. lead us safely on
'Till night teed grief and sin and
death
Are passed and Heaven is won..

Special Services at Baptist Church
Rally Day and Harvest Home Ser-
vices were held last Sunday at the
Baptist Church. The Church was
beautifully decorated with fruit, veg-
etables and flowers, which were giv-
en to the Wingham Hospital. In the
evening, the pastor spoke on the "Year
of Jubilee," stating that it meant to
the' Jews Rest, Restitution, Release,
Regathering and Reward. This Jub-
ilee looks forward to another time
of blessing when as Paul says in
Thes. 4; 16, "For the Lord Himself
shall descend from Heaven with a
shout, with the voice of the archan-
gel, and with the trump of God; and
the dead in Christ shall rise first; then
we which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air; and so shall we ever be with the
Lord." He dwelt on the word "to-
gether" saying what a wonderful time
of regathering it would be when the
trumpet would sound. May we all
be ready and listening for the sound
of the Jubilee Trumpet.
