i^htratic^. Vol 54; No. 50 WEDNESDAY, .\L\Y 22, 1935 W. H. Thurston & Son, Proprietors X^ Wm. J. Dinwoodie Mrs. T. S. Sproule William John Dinwoodie was born of Irish Meth<Wist parents. Nov. 6th 1860, at the little toWn of Fleshei-ton, Ontario, Canada. He and his brother, J. H. Dinwoodie worked together on the fai-m until he was 26 years of age when he decided tj study for the Ministry after which he joined the Methodist Conference. He preached for five years in Can- ada, then went to Michigan where he remained four years, filling some of the most prominent pulpits in the Conference. He then decided to come to California where he has preached ever since excepting seven yeai-s during and after the world war when he returned to Canada to help fill some of the pulpits left va- cant on account of the war. He then returned to California and after receiving his loc£^tion papers from the Methodist Conference took up his residence in Willits, California, where he has i-emained ever since filling the pulpits of different de- nominations he thought he could do the most good and has now been call- ed to his reward in the Great Beyond. Those who mourn his passing are his sister, Mary Sloan of Ladner B.C. and his brother, J. H. Dinwoodie of Tulare, Califoi-nia, and a number of nephew and nieces. Interment was in ^e I. 0. O. F. cen»citery, Willits, California, April 17, 1935, Rev. H. S. Cattarall offic- iating, Methodist Minister in charge. â€" Cont. Awarded King's Medal Express Satisfaction At Sale of Bond Issue Among those who have been pres- ented with the King's Jubilee medal we notice the nam(e of Mi-s. T. S. Sproule of Niagara-on-the-Lake, ont of the earliest residents, and daughter o. the late Mr. and Mrs. Flesher, foi nders of the village of Flesherton. Mn . Sproule has been very active all her life in various social problems and her receipt of the King's medal is a fitting tribute to her work and person- ality. The letter accompanying the decoration reads: "By command of His Majesty the King the accompany- ing medal is forwarded to Mrs. T. S. Sproule, to be worn in commemoration ,)f Their Majesties Silver Jubilee, May 6th, 193.5." The Advance, who has known ;Mrs. Sproule for many years, and her many friends in this locality, congratulate her on the honor that | connection" with the battle for votes has been conferred upon her. Satisfaction was expressed by Hon. E. N. Rhodes, minister of finance, at the good reception by the public of the government's $60,000,000 domesfic loan over-subscribed on Wednesday, last. The sU'bscriptions have been par- ed dowTx to bring the total within the $60,000,000. The bonds were on the market for two hours only when they were oversubscribed. With demand greater than the sup- ply, a strong after market in antici- pated by the officials of the Bank of Canada.
