In her 84th year, deceased was a native of Artemesia township, being born three miles north of Priceville. She was the last surviving member of the family of the late Thomas Lyness. Her husband, Henry Hooper, predeceased her by a few years. Prior to moving to Priceville, the late Mrs. Hooper had resided at Ceylon. Mrs. Hooper was a member of St. Columba United Church, Priceville. The funeral of the late Mrs. Hooper was held on Monday, with Rev. F. Ashton, pastor of Flesherton Baptist Church, conducting the service. In- terment was made in Ebenezer Cem- etery, Glenelg. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Loui.s Frook, Geo. Arrowsmith, Jos. Hooper, Thos. Tucker, Angus Hooper, Angus McArthur, Henry Beaton and Edgar Patterson. Mrs. R. W. Lyness of Vancouver, sister-in-law of Mrs. Hooper, attended the funeral. REUNION AT EUGENIA J Mr. Ed.

Some attended from Owen Sound, Berkeley, Proton Sta- tion,, Nottawa, Duntroon, Osprey township, London and Priceville.

McRae, M.C., E.D., former command- ing officer, h;»s received the appoint- ment to head this unit and was in Flesherton on Wednesday of last week in regard to the organization. Recruiting for members for the 2nd Battalion of the Foresters commenced for "B" Company at the Markdale armories on Monday night and will continue Wednesday and Friday nights of this week from 7 to 9.30 p.m. .Monday night 25 men were examined by the medical officer. Dr. D. B. Jam- ieson of Durham and 21 were passed in "A" category. The quota for this company is 150 men, to be recruited from Dundalk, Flesherton, Markdale, Durham and Hanover and districts surrounding these towns, and it is hoped to have the battalion at full strength this Week. The battalion ex- pects to leave for camp at Niagara- on-the-Lake on August 12th where they will remain for two weeks and considerable work will have to be done to prepare the troops for the camp. -â- Vlthough medical requirements for the Non-Permanent Active Militia are not so rigid as are those for Act- ive Service the physical fitness of the men who presented themselves Mon- day oveni«g was very striking. The requirements are that the man niu.st be five feet tall and weigh 120 lbs. Those in either A or B category will be given training and taken to camp. The ''nd battalion of the Foresters is the Non-Permanent Active Militia, with the same organization and for the same purposes as has character- i7A'd the militia the past few years. From its ranks volunteers will be taken Tur reinforcements for the 1st battalion now on active service at Camp Borden. Every ablebodied man between the ages of 18 and 45 years is urged to take training at the pres- ent time. LET US SING.

We little thought when leaving home You would no more return; That you in death so soon would sleep And leave use here to mourn. We didn't know the pain you bore. We did not see you die; We only know you passed away Without a last good-bye. More and more each day we miss you, Tho" our thoughts are not revealed,. Little do they know the sorrow That is within our hearts concealed, â€" Ever remembered by his Mother, Dad, Brother and Sister. In Memoriam SIMMON'S â€" In ever loving mem- ory of our dear husband and father, Walter Robert Simmons, who passed away July 29th, 1925. Treasured thoughts of one so dear Often brings a silent tear; Thoughts return to scenes long past. Years roll on, but memories last. "Thy will be done." seems hard to say V\"hen one* we love<l has passed away; Some day, perhaps, we'll understand. When me wect again in that better land. Sadly missed by â€" Wife and daughters. Some ear trouble is said to arise from not keeping the mouth shut. That is not easy to overcome because there are n number of people who find it extremely difficult to keep the mouth closed.
