Accident.—Mr. Lorne_ McNaughton
met with a servious accident on Mon-
day last. He was engaged in drawing
out a load of hay on the wagon from
behind the barn, when it got jammed
between the stack and the barn and
in moving it the tugs on one horse
broke pulling him off the load and
he fell with great force onto the ton-

not known how serious his injuries
are, but we understand he is in a very
critical condition.

Notes —The anniversary of our vil-
lage church took place Sunday last.
The disappointment of not having Rev.
Mr, Nicholson of Sarnia, was fully
made up by having Rev. F. H. Lar-
kin of Seaforth, on Sunday morning,
who gave an excellent discourse on
the subject, "Strength." Rev. Mr.
McLean Egmondville, preaehed *in
the evening ,taking the story of Es-
ther as his theme. It was a good dis-
course and was listened tp witk much
attention. The choir rendered several
good selections. The offering on Sun-
day was $125. On Monday; Rev. Mr.
Hogg, ,ot Clinton, gave a splendid ad-
dress on "Castles in the Air." He
spoke of many who had seen great
visions, which helped to make the
world better and happier. He was
listened to with great interest by all.
The choir was in its plade, assisted by
Mr. Sage of Toronto, who gave sev-
eral good selections, one - ' being a
Scotch song, which made the Scotch
people think of the good old services
-of their native land: The gatherink
dispersed feeling that a pleasant and
profitable evening had been spent.—
Mr . Alex. Mustard and son, John and
daughter, Miss Greta, spent the week
end in Toronto. They, attended the
opening of Mr. Mustard's son, Rev.
Charles Mustard's church, which took
place on Sunday. It was a small
mission when he took Charge of it. At
the opening of the war many of the
congregation who were reservists,went
to the war, but Chas. worked bravely
on, and now being rewarded in hav-
ing a new church home. The congre-
gation met in the Sabbath School
rooms for a long time. The Sabbath
school is large and the work a the
churclais going on bravely. He is one
of our boys of whom the church is
proud. He was never afraid to put
his shoulder to the wheel. we wish
him much joy in his new church.—Five
cars of stock left our station last
week A number of cars of sugar
beets were also shipped from here re-
cently.—Mr. Arthur Colwell, of Stan -

grain is also being shipped by Mr.
Scott. There is a good market for
everything but beans.—The choir of
our ehurch met recently at the home
of Mr. James Thompson and present-
ed the young married couple -with a
dozen silver teaspoons. Mr. Thomp-
son has' been a member of the choir
for some time, and theY took the oc-
casion of his marriage to show how
much they appreciated his services. All
spent a right merry time in Mr.
Thompson's honie and wished them
many happy years together.
