Munshaw Dead -Aaion Munshaw, the veteran hotel keeper of Flesherton, died at his home hero on Wednesday of labt week, in his 8Utli year About two years age he look a paralyt'C stroke, and has been an invalid ever tince. The funeral took place on Friday to Flesheitin cemetery^ the An^tlican minister of Maikdale otliciatini!. He le.ives tfto highly estetmed daughters â€" Mrs. Will Hill of Markdale, and Mrs. B. Welion, who, with her husband, are looking after the hotel here. The deceased was one of the pioneers and had kept hotel here f .>r 57 ye»r», a record that we believe has not been u.Tceeded in this part of tiie country certainly not in the county of Grey Mr. Munshaw's wife, who was a iisler of the late Mrs. S. Daiimde, died 23 years ago, and his son, Charles, died over a year uj.). The business here will be continued by Mr. Wclton, until the estate is W'mnd up. Parcels to Prisoners |jr^ The German Authorities have L^isued a memorandum tu the effect that parcels for Prisoners of War interne! in Germany must be adJicssed to the parent (or main; ' camps to which the priaoner.s belong and ; I muKt not bear the names of any branch I or woikingcampb or of any other place to I ' winch the prisoner migh5 be detailed for ' special services. ( â- â-  The memorandom states that prisoners J f^ who have been derailed for services ' outside thn parent camps have been j enjoined by the German .Vulho:ities ; from the very tirst, to inform in this | Jl sense any ralations or other persons frtm whom ihey expect to receive postal parcnls. Parcels for Prisoners of War The Old Adage Women In Pageant When all is said and done, it takes the ladies to get up a real successful enter- tainment, soiiielliing iiirc'lly be enjoyed and talked about, and also succe.ssful rinancially. That is what the ladies of the Methodist church accomplished la&t Friday night, when their unique enter- tainment came off as advertised. The program was not one thai readily lends itself to description. It was ([uite scenic as well as liler<.ry â€" u pageant of forty famous women- in which ancient cos tumes aud coitt'eurs figured pn'tainently, maiiing a many phased picture very pleasing to the eye. Each lady gave seme reading or action tu indicate the character she represented, and the pourtraynl was historically coriect in every respict. There was considerable humor throughout the attair in such characteis as tha Fishwife (Katie Wil- cock), Top.sy (Frances .\rmstrons;), and tha Suttrasiette (Mr--. W. W. Trimble). .\mong the more classical characters Miss Hul.se, representing an Italian girl, gave sekctiona from II Trovatore on her violin which elicited rounds of applause from a delighted audijDco. All the ladies pourtrayed their parts in a imr.u-T that left nothinj' l) be deiired, and all who took part therein are wi-rthy of congrat- ulation. The [irjceeds anumnled lo about ?55. in hospital also come within the meunim; j uf these regulations. . In the interests of the Prisoners it is > therefore essential that these regulations should be strictly adhered to as otherwise the German Authorities will not deliver the parcels to the Prisoners of War fir which they are intended, aud it is suggested that per.suns in Canada when writing to Prisoners in Germany .--hould ascertiin detinitely the name of the parent (or main) camp so that they can comply with the regulations of the German Authorities in addressing parcels to Pr'soners. fi The Proof «f the Pudding is In the Eating The .sa ni is equall) true r»f the 1901 Cravity asher.
