 A flying machine went over Staff ford about 12.4O Friday. The Stafford aerial squadron, in the shape of a flock of crows, rose from the hill back of the Pinney school to investigate, and no doubt in their own minds, with loud caws. drove the destroyer of the air away. The machine was headed northeast and was probably the first flying machine to pass over the village.
 The small village of Hydeville felt that the war was taking a heavy toll from that place when official notice was received by MT. and Mrs. Michael Cunningham of the death at sea of their son, Martin. of pneumonia. The family was not entirely unprepared for the sad news as a letter received by Miss Laura Gale Nov. 11th from her LrOther, William, who belonged o the same company told of the pass ing of his friend, Martin. As time passed without official confirmation the family hoped that there had been some mistake. The delay was caused by the department sending the notice to StratfOrd instead of Stafford. He was a meml CT of the firm of Phelps & Cunningham of Statfordville, he with ness of T. NJ. Lyon two years ago. He was called to the cOlors May 23, 1918, and after training at Camp Up ton went to Camp Forrest, Ga. He was born at Wales, Mass, in 1893. The family came to Hydeville in 19O7 He was a young man of high char acter and exemplary habits and de- servedly popular with large circle of friends. He was a member of St.. | Edwards parish, secretary of Holy Name society and member of the K. of c. He leaves besides his parents, MT. and Mrs. Michael Cunningham, two brothers, John and Joseph, and six sisters, Mary, Agnes and Margaret of this town, Anna and Elizabeth of ! MOnsOn.
 The following letter was received by the parents of Norman Phillips:
 France, Oct. 28. Just a line to let you know that 1 am alright. Just got out of the worst hen hole since 1 have been over here, | but came out of it without scratch. We went over the top twice, the tanks were with us. I think we will move from here, but don't know if to the rear or in the lines again. This can't last much longer. Get this order for Christmas dinner mother: Roast pork with fixings, apple sauce. How's that? Were so glad to get a few let ters from you up here. Sorry to There is a good deal l would like to tell you, but I cannot. We have seen things that make us think, and if all the Joys will be what they say they will you will see different kind of men when we come. Take care of your self and remember me to everybody.
