To Mr and Mrs Inkster On the eve of your leaving the dii'rici, we, as workers of Maxwell Presbyterian church, felt that we could not allow this oppor tunity to paca without expressing our heartfelt appreciation for you as church workers. For many years you have been with us and have ever been devoted to the best interests of the church in a self sacrificing and voluntary way. You have ever aimed at the highest, not only in the chureh, but also in th everyday affairs of life, and were ever ready to give assistance and valued advice. And you, Mr Inkster, an an elder, have always endeavored to uphold the sacredness of such a high calling, so that your depar- ture will leave a vacancy difficult to fill. While regretting your leaving us, we are glad to think that, although in your new sphere of life you may enter on greater responsibilities, yet we believe you are unite IMP tlilf of discharging them with equal efficiency. Wo should like, there- fore, for you to accept this gift us a token of tbe esteem in which you ure held by the paople of the chinch, aud which is accompanied with our best wishes) for prosperity in your new life.

Angus Lett, a well known Sarnia business man, died suddenly at Owen Sound while vriintuising a hockey match. A most distressing accident occurred at Heaslip's mill, near Craighurwt, by which John Cahserley had one leg almost com- pletely severed. Some repairs had buen made on the saw aud it had just started running again when Mr. Casserlpy, who had just stepped off tha stage from Barrie, stooped down noar tho saw to pick up an axe. As he did so the wind blew the tail of his coat against the saw and his left leg was drawn upon the rapidly revoNiug disc. Before the saw could be stopped it cut its way through flesh, bone, nerves and muscles umil all that [remained unsevered was a strip about three inches wide at the front, of the thigh, a short distance from where it joins the body. Instead of completing the amputation the surgeon had the man taken to Barrio hospital next d.iy and it is hoped that the limb may be saved. The Taco Range A Range of pleasing and handsome appeaiance.
