Miss Emma Jones, of Morden, is spending a few weeks in our quiet little village.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jackson, spent the 8th and 9th as guests of the former’s sister, Mrs. J. Turner, Prospect Street, Kentville.
The young people of the village have been improving the fine coasting on the "Bay Hill." A large number can be seen there every fine evening "making the snow fly while the moon shines."
The sudden death of Pte. N. C. Gould, of 112th Batt. C.E.F., Kentville, came as a great shock to the residents of this quiet village. He had contracted measles after which a severe attack of pneumonia proved fatal. Our sincere sympathy is extended to the family and relatives of the deceased.
Little Miss Edith Spicer, also her little cousin Miss Beatrice Reynolds are both suffering from an attack of la grippe.

We are very sorry to report not having heard of Capt. Frank Curry formerly of this place. The general supposition is the Capt. and crew were lost with their schooner The Lewis K. Cottingham, which went ashore at Seal Island, N. S. some time ago. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and six children of Rockland, Me., besides a mother and brother here.
