Carnegie as member of the Ontario Legislature, and his appointment to the ollicc of Dis- tributor of Law Stamps, have been an- nounced, and. a convention of the Con- servatives of the riding has been called for Tuesday, May llt-h, to nominate a candidate to [ill the vacancy. The news came as a surprise to a good many of the electors of the constituency, who had come t0 regard Mr. Carnegie as a fixture in the position which he has held so long. There is a good deal of specula- tion as to who will rcccive the nomina- tion of the convention. Several pronii- ncnt members of the party are spoken of as possible candidates. As yet thcrc is no information to hand as to the in- tentions 0f the Reformers, and it is im- possible tosay whether there will be a contest or not. Mr. Carnegie has been exceptionally popular with his constituents of all shades of politics, and Reformers and Conservatives alike regret his retire- ment. â€"â€"â€"-____ Obituary. ' Another of the early settlers of this vicinity passed away on Thursday of last week in the person of the late Archi- bald McArthur, whovdicd at the age of 82 years, after a short illness due to a severe attack of la grippc. Mr. McAr- thur was born in the island of lslay, Ar- gyleshire, Scot-land, and came to Canada in 1832 with his parents, who settled at Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Sco- tia. As fishing and sailing are amongst the principal occupations in those parts, Mr. McArt-hur soon became a proficient sailor, and at the age of 21 shipped on a large sailing vessel. As first mat-c he visited all the principal ports in the world, spending seven years altogether on board ship. During this period he was married, at Boston, and returned to Sydney in 1852, where he farmed for a. couple of years." This was in pro-Con- federation days, and comparatively noth- ing was known‘ of the interior of Canada, which was looked upongby Nova Scotlans in much the same light as Labrador or the northern parts _.ot' Canada are at present, or have been until recently. Practically all the trade was with Bos- ton and adjacent territory, and with the West Indies and the old country. In 1854 Mr. McArthiir' came to Lindsay, and soon afterwards settled on the farm in Fenelon township which he has ever since occupied. Mr. MoAi-thur was twice married. His first wife was Miss ‘Mary McAuley, who died in 1868, and by whom he had three sons, Neil, John and James, and one daughter, Mrs. J. S. Campbell, of Fenelon Falls. He afterwards married Miss Mary McKinnon, who died about twelve years ago, leaving three sons, Alexander, Arch- ibald and Neil. All are living except the first son Neil, after whom the second son Neil was named. Mr. McArthur was a man of many ex- cellent qualities, and will be. missed by a large circle of friends. The funeral took place on Saturday to the cemetery at Glenarm and was numerously at- tended. Personals. Miss Ruby Austin has returned from an extended visit to Strut-ford and To- ronto. Mr. George Ellis was home from Elk City this week. Mr. John Copp has returned from Pe- terborough, where he was under medical treatment.

Hop- kins on Thursday, April 29th, at 8 p. m., when their only daughter, Bertha Louise, was married to Mr. Elwood Roberts, manager of the Farmers‘ Bank at Betha- ny, and recently of Kiumount. Tho. cereâ€" mony, conducted by Rev. A. Cummer, , pastor of St. James‘s church hero, assist- 1909 . ed by Rev. Mr. Kingstone, of Minden; took place in the drawing room, under an archway formed in the bow window of carnations and foliage, to which an aisle of white satin ribbon led from t-ho door through which the bride entered with her father, and attended only by her tiny nephew and niece, Clare and Dorothy Hopkins, as page and fl'owcr girl. She wore a dainty gown of white silk embroidered mull, with long .iullc veil, and carried :1 shower bouquet of roses and lily of the valley. A pretty climax to the. ceremony was the opening of a beautiful bridal bell of white roses, allowing a shower of con- fetti to fall upon the bride and groom who stood immediately beneath it. After a shower, also, of congratulations, a. very dainty wedding breakfast was served, with the usual number cf toasts, in the dining room. which was also prct-tily decorated with roses and car-nations. Mr. and Mrs. Roberts left on Saturday for their home in Bethany. h'l'rstRob- crts will be much missed by the people of the village and St. James's church, where her kindly assistance in the choir has been much ai'iprcciatcd. Mr. Rob- erts, too, during his term as manager of the bank bore, made himself very popu- lar, and the happy couple bear with them to their new home tho best wishes and wan-most congratulations of a wide circle of friends.
