WELLS <r^' Eugenia CorreapoBdence In the passing of the Rev. John Wells, one rf the former pastora here, f no Presbyterian church has lost one of its grand old ministers. The resi- dents of these parts and more es- pecially the older ones of the commun- ity look back at the days when Mr. Wells ministered to the neonle here, and feel that the church, which he so ardently worked to build, will stand in a sense as * meraoriaL In the building of the church no diflficulty in the w^ was too great an objective for Mr. Wills to overcome and so, day after day, he worked with the men of the congregation as ope of them, OTttuf^^'**'«:"'*aterial in the raw 'stlKe for the" construction and fiinish- ing of the church; until at last the work was completed and stands to- day a credit to a village th" size of . ours. Mr. Wells took -charge of the anniversary services here some twelve years ago, and was given a grand reception, as always, by the congre- gation. His heart was ever with the church and people here, as evidenced by the letters received by some of the older members of the congregation up until the time of his death. Mr. Wells had reached a ripe old age and it can well be saidof him that he had I fought a good fight, he had finished his course and for him was laid up a crown of righteousness. .>" ./ t t Nurse Graham has returned to her home here after having soent the winter with friends at Bridgeport.

CONFERENCE IN CHESLEY Rather a peculiar accident hap- pened at the school house, Lafon- taine, says the Penetang Herald. Some of the boys got fjjoling on the stairway and were trj^ir" to see which could g:o down the same with the least steps. A young son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gignac thought he '•*! iscould make it in th?ee steps and as he made the third effort he slipped anl fell, shot across the hall way and hit a post, rupturing one of his kidneys. Medical aid was speedily summoned bUt the poor bo'"' was too seriously injured for doctors to be of any use and he died the same night. Plans for the best Boy's and Lead- ership conference arc in the making. The progrram rommittee is doing its utmost to give the boys and leaders a chance to hear the best that the Prov- ince of Ontario has in Tuxis work.
