Hail of fair size fell in large quantities and much damage was done to the gardens. Some farm- ers reported to The Banner on Wed- nesday that considerable damage was. done to the turnip and aoe — Very fortunately the torm touched a small area. sbiend, Trow-|, bridge and Molesworth do not report any hail, and none fell tg the east of the town.

With six bands participating “4 upwards of three thousand people attendance, the tattoo held Poentae night under the auspices of the Lis- towel Athletic Association was a de-/' cided success in spite of the cold weather and the big hail storm in the afternoon. This tattoo has now become an an- nual event in Listowel and as high standard of program is always provided, each® year hg a little better than the r before, the crowds keep coming. “This year et were present from Stratford, Mount Forest, Toronto, two from Waterloo and our own local band. About a quarter to , eight Queen’s”"Own Bugle band led — parade to the the . ot bands following at five minute tervals, the pipe band from Mount Forest bringing up the rear. On the each of the bands played tions. Possibly owing to the cold ev-)|~ ening the people moved around more and there was more noise than under more favorable weather conibison. and as a result the beauty of some of the softer portions of the different selections was lost, except to those close to the stands. During the in- tervals when the bands changed a few rockets were sent up. The spect- acular march past In which band took its part brought much applaus After the mus sic had ceased there was a splendid display of fireworks, d forth put on by the celebrated Han Company of Hamilton. This was greatly enjoyed ~by everyone, the crowd remaining until the final “Good Night” sign was In a blaze. Following the tattoo a dance was held in the armouries on the grounds. The building was filled with lovers f the dance who tripped the “light fantastic’ until am éarly hour The grounds were in a ‘deplorable state, resulting from the afternoon storm, several cars being mired, ne- cessitating the procuring of a team of horses to pull out the bea pS ate ones. Then too, the is a poor makeshift and cannot ie: quately accommodate the crowd that desire such accommodation. Many cars were parked outside the grounds and in some cases the occupants re- mained in them, rather than vent- ure inside with the poor eccommoda- on. Of course there are some whd find it cheaper to stay outside and not support a local organization, but great many will not be found in- side until the conditions are impror- ed. A few hundred dollars expended by the town would make a vast im- Eg re -provement in this work. The rain and haii storm = which i struck sown about 1.30 in the Sine noon prevented many from comin to town for the day. The football match between the Toronto Irish and! the Listowel boys, which was sched- uled for 2 o'clock. was not started until after four. The game was play-| e d on a very wet field, taking the nature of a water sport. The players either received a shower bath Tr were plastered with mud, but the Large Number Attend Campmeeting Despite the rainy weather, there were quite a number from Listowel and: vicinity who attended the annual campmeeting of the Evangelical church held near Mildmay on Sunday.

SANGSTER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST AND LAST OF EL- MA'S PIONEERS—ONE OF THE FIRST TO COME SHE TO SEE THE PIONEER'S DREAM COME TRUE. Sad with the sorrow that en- shrouds bereavement and death, yet overcast with the radiance triumph- ant which ever glorifies the end of a Christian Hfe, were the last days of Catherine Keating, widow of the late George Sangster, who died at | ner home in Molesworth, on June ach | 27th. ult.

With her fath- er, the late Samuel Keating, she left her native home in Glasgow in 1850. With them were her two sisters, Sarah, the late Mrs. Jas. Hammond who- predeceased her in Feb. 1921, at” ho stn resided at Onnow. near the city of Ottawa. They sailed in the stont. old sailing ship Glencairn, a ship that only found the final haven of ships a few years ago, after sailing the seas since the 30’s, nearly a cen- tury of time and service t was in Aylmer township, the Ottawa Valley, where marty rela- tives already resided, that they made their first stop. But at that time there were many stories of golden op- portunity farther west, stories of free land in the Queen's bush, that stirred the blood of the second gen- r le pioneer life. It was in 1852 that a large band answered the call. They were the fathers and mothers grand- fathers and grandmothers of the Alexanders, Rothwells, present generation of | Stevensons, Mayburrys, Johnstons, Sproules, and many de- scendants bearing other names, scions of a race of pioneers who well might take as their motto “Always in Church, Never in-Court.” Ten years of pioneer life saw her lose per best friend in the person of her father, and the gain of another her late husband, George Sang- ster, who predeceased her in 1900. He was at the time, a rugged and energetic young Scotsman, +“ aig pioneer life as a farmer, a ma and a blacksmith, at all of which he had labored in the old land, and there are still standing, many of the works of his hands in‘ page barn- walls, and houses of soli in and around the township oF North East Hope. Their pioneer home was on the 8th. concession Elma, which was in short time what it is to-day, one of the best cultivated and mieny developed farms in the town- p. a i 7 To the great work which the pion- eers did they gave their full share. The public school, the Atwood Pres- byterian , the ominion Cheese Factory, institutions built in the pioneer ds “pgstill stand to prove that the early “stttlers builded well. To their farm and those of her rela- tives came the first pure Ured cattle and sheep. When they moved to Grey township in Huron county, theirs was the first fields to witness-the work of the self binder. Theirs was the first corn silo in the county. In 1895 they retired from active farm life, and lived in the village of Molesworth. Of her family Mre. A. F. Piercy resides at Hanley, Sask. but was visiting with er at the time of her illness and death. Mrs. Geo. Brown ard Mrs. Ed. Doan are the other daughters.
