Mr. Thos Croft, whose denth notice appeared in last issuf, was born in Lincolnshire, Kiigland, and came to Canada 45 years ago, settling iu Picker- ing township, where he remained two years, and then removed to Osprey. He took up land in the then forest and raised a family uf seven children, three sons i):\d four daughters. These children are Tlios. and .Joseph Croft of Artemesia, Chas. W., who lives on the old home- stead, Mrs. J. Hales uf this village, Mrs. C<>ber, Mich., Mrr. Gill spie, Shelburne, and Mrs. McKerchnie, Maxwell. Dactased was a uonsistant member of rha Methodist church for twenty years, and the funeral, which took place to Maxwell cemetery on Sunday weak, was very larwely attended. For several years ptst there seems to have been very little local interest taken in the celebration of Dominion Day in Flesherton. Those « ho do not go else- where for amusement seem ta hang around and wouJur what they have lost. Hence, we are glad to learn that some effort is being made by our military men to provide a little diversiuu forthu.ie who will come to the town in the afternoon. The prograinnio for the day we under- stand will consist uf a baseball match in the morning, target practice in thn early afternoon, by No. 6 Coy., field move- ments to illustrate, amongst other manoeuvres the attack and defence of a position, to wind up with a triumphal march uf the victors through the village headed by Flesherton Band.

It ROW transpires that the gentleman who recei ved t lie telegram referred to in last week's paper was mistaken in be- lieving it was delayed as stated. AI. though the date on the telegram would lead one tcj|believs the facts were as stated still it is explaii:ed that the message was a night message and did not leave the Toronto office until the morning of the day on w'bich it was received, and was delivered as soon as it was possible to be delivered. We therefore have a humble apology to offer the telegraph people one and all. At tha same time our complaint was not altogether out uf place, because of the necesoary delay in every esse, when a message is received over the C. P.
