STRATFORD.

(From Our Own Correspondent) I [All comimiulc.tlions, tellers, etc., left villi ] 111 11. J. Hopkins, bookseller, will receive prompt j attention] | Stratford, July Tat cold snap has created a greitit run • Oh the wood-hoap. Those who liml it hard to meet these obligations include tl-e Sr]:(><,l t. :.ir.T!iillc;', who 'believe the (K-holars should study under the h.:-f ; conditions. A t-.ttb-cuiiiimUw | Ins been jet up to go imo ways iiid me,ins to ?reure ;his object, but the quickest and surest. method is by cjatert, and it is more th»n possible that t> wood and file 1 cphc?t\ will be held here before many The corridor tji t/ic Municipal Building's has pulled up many visitors and local residents. The cause of the 'obstruction'' that arrests attention is the Roll of Honor now in position. Instead of a long list of names, the photographs of 10 ex-soldiers of this district are neatly framed and, being of cabinet size, ar? «isily recognisable at soma distance. Unfortunately, IS does not by any means represent the number of men who left this district, hoping to see the termination of the struggle and then return to peaceful pursuits. Funds aro being solicited. and the £lfi credit from the Soldiers' Night will prove very acceptable in furthering the cost of the board. The idea of having the photograph, whenever possible, instead of the mere names, seems to have struck the popular fancy. The publication of the ballot now does not create the sittic interest &« at first. When the lists first appeared, it was something of a novelty. and the man who then became a soldier of the Kiiig per medium of the ballot-box. was often a. subject of barrack. Now it has lost its attractiveness, and is soon forgotten. Stratford stands a chance of losing <i minister (Anglican), dairy company secretary (W Fastier), factory manager (J. Bowman, Mid-hirst). There arc several others who have received notice of a demand to prepare to undergo the examiinil li - necessary for all prospective wen) 1 . . - of khaki. The Rev Howard Elliott, far from a stranger to this town, is due to speak here in the Town Hall shortly. Be is principal organiser of the Protestant I'oiitical Association, which has a strong membership in this town. T LAMASON'S WEEKLY REPORT.
