We travelled together two 'win-ters, Mr. Roy as secretary aud I as president of the West Durham Farmers' Institute. It was in the pioneer days of ensilage and silos. Mr. Roy spoke one winter at ail the meetings on the cultivation of corn te be used as ensilage. I believe Mr. Roy erected and filled the flrst, silo in West Durhamn and the flrst silo I ever saw. We had many cld dark drives after meetings were over. He was a good conversation- alist and few men were better in- formed on public questions. It was always a pleasure to meet and have a chat with hlm. I neyer heard the late Mr. Roy say an unkînd word about any persan. He was always the saine and always a gentleman. » For several years he was Assemsor ,for the Municipalbty of Darliugton 3and faithfully perforiued the duty.1 At a nomination meeting at Hanap-; ton -there was ratiher a bitter attack mtade on him; he answered the at- tack with a emile on bis coiuiten- suce. Very f ew could bave doue 80. Caîl it what you like but the day he died, although I hud not heard he was i11 yet I knew be was failing, Ïmy wife snd I were talking of old friends and 1 told her that some day wbeu I bad time I was going te make Mr. Roy a visit. I am sonTy I did net do se before lie passed on. Don'ti delay when you can, do a kind acti or brighten -the lives of the old or those wbo are afflicted.
