A LOVE STORY. hti parents iri^Vii i the year 1852, when he was but five ; years old. He was a kind friend and j I neigh'oor, and "rvas a great friend of I both young and old. rich and poor, ' ; greeted ail with the same smile, gain- i : ing many friends wherever he went. ! I For the past seven years he had siif- ' I fered from that terrible affliction of blindness, and this he bore with grsa: i oatience and c'nristian fortitude. .\t 26 years of age he married Mis* Eiixa Johnston ot Bentinck township. Ki^ wife predfc.'eased him. eleven years \ ago. By the blessed union there were five children born, all of whom survive to mourn the loss of a loving father â€" .\le.xander on the homestead. ; Mrs. Schwartz of Toronto, Mrs. E. ; Carr of Sas'Katchewan. and Mrs. Ed. â-  Graham of Clarksburg. The funeral ' on Saturday took place from thi home of his son .A.lex.( where he pas- sed his last days) to Salem cemetery. Rev. Joseph Harrower. pastor of the United Church, preached a very com- forting sermon at the house. Many old friends and neighbors gathered at the house to pay their last respects to the esteemed gentleman. The flowers were beautiful, th^re being a pillow from the members of the family, a sheaf from the grandchild- ren, a vreath from the 8th line neigh- bors. The pallbearers were neigh- bors o' che deceased â€" Messrs. Donald McDotial 1. William Magee, Wilfred Magee. John Parsons. Fred Jamieson and Thomas Fenwick. We pxtend' our sympathy to the family in their sad bereavement. Past his '.iffering. past his pain. Cease to v.sep for tears are vain. He who suffered is at rest. Gone to heaven with the blest. Human nature is much the same the world over, only in some coun- tries the customs are different. For the last two or three years, the town of Southampton has had as a resi- dent, Sam Sit Can. Chinaman, who owns the Prince of Wales cafe, here. Sam has made many friends aniong our citizens since coming here, and aU have found him a pretty fine fel- low. He came to Canada from China in 1903 by way of Vancouver, .^t that time he had to pay $500 to the government to eni.i.'i- whe country. He soon after took out naturaliza- tion papers.,. While living in British Columbia, he joined t'ne Masonic Or- der. Last Tuesday Sam left on a return trip to China, and the pur- pose of his going was to marry a Chinese girl there. He has never ' seen his bride; in fact, she was bom since he arri'.'ed in Canada, but 'ne has a picture of her. She is about :;wenty years of age. In China, mar- ' riages are arranged 'oy the parents, and frequently, when the bride and rroom are very young. In this case, the girl lives with her mother, who , is aged and ill. and. according ro the , customs of China, if the mother died and the girl were left without other relatives she would be in a bad way. Hence, Sam's trip to China to wed her, after which she can live with Sam's relations, whether he is there or not. Unfortunately for Sam. he cannot bring his bride back to Can- ada with him. Prior to 192.'3, Chin- ese were admitted to Canada on pay- meat of_a head f-jr. but that year the law was changed, and since then no Chinese, other than merchants or students, are admitted to this coun- try. So Sam expects to spend some nine months in China with his bride, and then he will leave her with his relatives and return here. While he is away. Sam has made arrangements with a couple of his compatriots, one of them a cousin, to look after his business. â€" Southampton Beacon.
