A neighboring doctor advertises by circular : "I will pay one-half the funeral expenses where I am not +} suecessful." Now is the time to take a glance over your backyards and devise some plan to ostracise the fruit cans and rubbish which haye accumulated since the last installment was re- moyed. You-can generally judge the occupants of a house by the condit- ion in which the,front and back yards are kept. In a general sense of we all pride ourselves on being clean and tidy. Home and its surround- ings above all places in the world should be scrupuously guarded against contaminating influences. One by one the pioneers of this d'strict are being called away to join their comrades across the Great Div- ide. This time the summons has come to Mr. George Posliff, of the 16th con. of Elma, who died at the home of bis son Albert, on Thursday of last week. Mr. Posliff was a native of Finningley, Yorkshire, England, where he was born in 1825. In 1849 he married Ann Pogson, who prede- cozsed him eleven years ago, and in 1853 emigrated to Canada and for a short time resided in each of the townships of Trafalgar, Nelson, Blen- heim and Wellesley after which he moved to Elma and for five years liv- ed on the farm now owned by Mr. Wm. Coxon. He afterwards moved to the place whera_hedied after a residence thereon of 55 years. Mr. Posliff was the father of eight chilid- ren the following of whom survive bim : Mrs. Joseph Ducklow, Brook- dale, Man. ; Mra. John McCracken, Molesworth ; Mrs. G. Taylor, Wood- stock ; Aaron, Wingham; George and Albert, Elma. Mr. Posliff was a de- vout Methodist and « man of strict integrity and was held in very high esteem by his neighbors. His last mortal remains were laid at rest in Greenwood cemetery, Milverton, on Monday morning when Rev. « B Cooper officiated. The casket was borne to the grave by Messrs. Wm. Livingston, C, Lippert, Aaron Coxon, Wm. McClory, Jos. Lambert and F. Doering.--Sun, Milverton. Judgement in Regard to Dr. Sawdon, Late of Listowel. At Osgoode, Hall, Toronto, on Oct. 20, before Justice Middleton, of estate of Dr. James Edgar Saw- don, late of Listowel, for an order construing his will. Judgement : By policy of May 18, 1909, the society agreed to pay $500 to heirs accord- ing to will, or-such other persons as said member may hereafter legally designate. The member, an unmar- ried man, whose father and mother are both dead, after some small leg- acies, gave "to.-my nephews, Samael, James Sawdson-Smickum, and Geo. Guy Sawdon, all that is left," this to be held by the executors in trust during their minority. This insur- ance money is now claimed by the infants, and the executors, as trus- tees for them. The next of kin of the insured, his surviving brothers and sisters, alsoclaim thisfund. In any aspect of the case, I think the infants take. There will therefore be an order declaring that this money is equally divisible between the two named infants, and directing it to be placed to their credit, and to be paid to them, with accumulated interest, on attaining majority, unless, in the moealiine, order is made to the con- trary.. The costs of the executors (and their solicitor, who was appoint- to represent these infants and guardian and litem), and of the Official Guardian, who represented infants, having an adverse interest winter season, Ti may be paid out of the fund before vision, Otherwise no costs. aE Cough Drops and Tablets The kind that will stop that tickling sen- sation and perhaps prevent a cold.
