'•Vatson Wiis iio' in rubuit health for some time put and during the live days of her last illness the people of the vicinity were iu suspense afniid, yt-t hc'piuijshe might recover, but she passed away on the uioin:u!» oi the 26lh.

After sever*! speeches were delivered, a lengthy address ws read to Mr. Matheson and family, also a purse containing (210 presented. The ladies alio gavu a purse to Mrs. Matliesjn, Miss Matheson and Master Ktnneth. Ou'.tide rsaders of last week's "Ueview ' might possibly infer that the purse given Mr. Uathesou, was contributed by members of his congregation alone, but we think it no harm to lay that the list of uamea baaded iu with the cash, shows that every family in Pricevill*, with the ex- ception of one or two, contributed their mite willingly, not because certain men solicited, but because ait the churches loved Mr. Matheson as a pastor and as a private citizen, and we all wish him success iu his new held of labor. Rev. G. Kendall of Dundalk conducted service iu the Presbyterian church last Sunday morniug and declared the pulpit vacant.

A BELATED REPORT Un Dec. 11, 1918, the above lodge met in their lounge room, it b^ing the annual meeting for the winding up of the year's business and the election of otticers. There wa.s a good attendance of the members of the ludge and also a few visiting brethren as follow.s : Bro Irwin Morrison of L O L No 5«<j, .Si.ig- hampton : Bros Thomas Beatty and Walter Kerloii of L t » L No Olit), Ma-x- well ; and Bro John Hutchinson of L O L 12015, Thornb'.iry. Bio Morrison, on reiiuest, took the chair and c nducted the election and- insLtllatlon of olhcer.=, which resulted aa follows : Worshipful Master, Bro Jum .^ McKenzie : Depu'v Master, Bro Bert Conn ; Chaplain, Bro. A J Conron ; Uec Sec. Bro Wesley Beatty ; Fin Sec, Bro T S Wili^n ; Treasurer; Bro Samuel Paik ; Dir of Cer, itro \\"m Conn , 1st Lecturer, Bro Thoi Conron ; and Lect, Bro Charley Howard. Committee -Bms J Ottewell, James Speer, John EUioit, R Alexander, J imes S.iyers. Among other business disuo'reil -of there was a donit<i)n granted to ll h True Blue Orphaua^ie, ai.d also a motion was pasced lo send letters of condolence t ) our Worshipful Blaster, Bro James McKenzie, he having sustained the loes of a loving wife ; and also to the wife of our late Br.) Harold Sniich. Bro Smith and Mrs. IMcKenzie were brother and si»t.>r. sou and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Smith of the 10; h line of Osprey. The brother and sister died within a few days of fsch other and, as the influenza was responsible for the r BU^'deu anJ early call to the great beyond, there was not any church service held at the time, as the iotluenza was iu its worst stage in this township at t.^at time. Therefore there was a memorial service held for both brother and sister at Providence church on Sunday, January 5, when the Rev Bro Forth of Maxwell delivered an excelleut memorial sermon, taking tor his text the 12th verse of the 1-lch chap- ter ot Romans, " So then every one of us" shall give an account of himself to God.' Rev. Ino Uolniea of Singha njjton was also present and took part :ii the • â- rvice. The church was tilled with a vary .«ynipalhetic audience. The deco. rations were very appropriate for the occasion. The members cf L L 10**i"i attended the service in a body. The old saying that troubles never some singly has certainly come true iu Mr. McKenzie's case, as one of his httle boys has been in the OoUingwood hos- pital for some tune undergoing treatm.'iit with very slinht chances for his recoveiy. Mr. McKenzie has the sincere sympathy of all in this commuuity in his gre-tt sorrow iind solicitude.

ISSUER OF DURHAM Two of aur younger citizens wvf hauled befoie the police magistraiu charged with bein« drunk, and the trial took place last Friday morning. T^e case was pro'ecuteJ by Inspector Beckett on infermation evidently laid by some outside party. .As there was no evidence to justify » conviction, the case was dismissed.

After all, the <xpicled has Km revealed. Dundalk w.is short cf coal, arid the usual methods of getting a supply allording no lelief, the loctl authorities began to be practical. They got the loca] member of parliament to intervene with the fuel controller aud immediately one car of nut coal was sent along, with tie promise of two more on the way. Is the fuel problem for every hamlet going to be made a vote getting proposition ? Why should it be necessary to get the pull "f I member of parliiment to keep warm ? The fuel contn.dler for the province should sit up and take notice. While Grand Valley has not gone eold or sulfered terribly, the shortage of hard coal IS acute. Only three oars, of this kind has arrived iu six mouths. Should the local fuel oonl roller have to go to John Bcsh, M.tV, before we get a square deal' -Grand Valley Stjr.
