The late Mr. Cameron was the last of his family, wife and son John having predecedsed him some eight years * ago, his daughter Ellen, two years ago and his farm except a short time which he Mary (Mrs, Wellington Hoover.) He longed for the farm, so he and his but death soon claimed Ellen whom he found dead in the house. Mr. and Mrs, Hoover then moved from Lindsay to the farm to be with her father, and six months ago Mrs, Hoover was over- taken with a stroke and only lived a short time, Since then Mr. Cameron and Mr. Hoover have heen living on the farm, 4 Mr. Cameron was also overtaken by a stroke on Monday and never rallied, passing away early Wednesday morn- ing.

He also gave an excellent rendition of one of Pauline Johnston's: poems, and sang with unusull sweetness with piano accompaniment, ¢From. the Land of the Sky Blue Waters" and "Incantation'to the Sun God" two well known Indian songs. <The second part of Mr, Cocke's program consisted of a number of good basso solos rendered in excellent voice, showing exceptional talent and careful training. As a story teller and 'reader, his powers of im- personation are exceptional, as dis- played in his humorous imitation of an old man singing, and a batchelor sewing on a button, during which he kept the audience econmvulsed with laughter. There was not one dull moment in the entire program. If he ever visits this community again he ean be assured of a large and ap- preciative audience. The piano ac- companists were Mrs. Totten and Mrs. Tordiff, who divided the work. In- strumental numbers were rendered by and Harold, and Bernice and Tommy Price. Ll CHARLES MUNRO CONVICTED Convicted on a charge of robbery with violence, Charles Munro, Utica beekeeper, was sentenced to two years definite and one year indeterminate in the Ontario Reformatory when he appeared before Magistrate Purdy in local police court on Tuesday after- noon. His counsel, Russell Humphries, text] announced that an appeal would be made against the convietion. «= - + Munro was convicted of entering farmer, on the night of December 21, and assaulted him with club snd at-| tempting to rob hit. In a statem | est would account for about 1% mills. .| In addition to the overdraft it was al- Mrs. Tordiff and Lois, and Mrs. Totten. out to the ratepayers explaining the 'matter. The payment of that $700 and'inter- go found that about $1300 of the debts of 1980 had to be paid in 1931, which would mean (with the $700) a total of about $2000 and interest. These payments would account for between three and four mills of the seven | 'extra mills collected. These three mills were used to keep out of debt; and we shall have to con- tinue to pay a slightly higher tax rate than in 1980 if we do not wish to have 'another overdraft. It is just possible that more than $700 can be paid-this year, because of the drastic cut in operating expenses. Very little was spent this last year in improvements. either in town property or on the streets. As to the wisdom of this program time will tell. One fedture of the cage must not be overlooked--collection of taxes'is not 100% in any year, and it is not al- 'ways easy to estimate the loss or de- lay in payment in this part of the town's receipts. . The fact is that the tax arrears are largely responsible for the overdraft 'secumulated-during-the/ 'tht hay been years.
