Mr. Fred Gee of Artemesia former- ly a lieutenant in the British Army, afterwards a school teacher. and late a cripple from rheumatism is now an inmate in the House of Refuge at Harkdale. He has been a liberal contributor to the columns of the Flesherton Advance. and the follow- ing article from his pen may be of interest to many of our readerszâ€"It would have been a difficult matter to; find a more depressed in spirit. or sad hearted person than the writer. . when the hour arrived in which he was necessitated to take his departure ; from the neighborhood in which he had spent so many long years among so many friends. to spend the rest of his days in a House of Refuge Low as were the spirits and as was the. heart. yet it is not matter of wonder' that only a few hours should suflice to dispel the gloom. to drive away the darkened cloud and restore the depressed one to his wonted state of cheerfulness. To find welcome in a bright comfortable and neatly furn- ished room with its two comfortable beds with snowy white furnishings; to be greeted with the kindly coun- tenance and cheery words by the es- ? timable matron as she deposits a pile of reading matter on the dressing table; to be served with a substantial and inviting dinner. and an hour. later to receive a most cordial wel- come from. and a pleasant conversa- tion with the equally estimate gover- nor Was sufficient to raise the spirits of the most depressed. and any one who cannot be cheered by such te- ception must be irreconcilable. As the writer is unable to leave his room he cannor give in detail the working' of the instution but being pleasantly . situated with a fair view of his sur- ' soundings. he is favorably impressed that everything is complete and by ' iar exceeding his expectations.

Pattenâ€"1 We feel now that in Superinten- dent Farr and Secretary Ehrhardt we have two good men, who are doing their best for the interests of the company and the stockholders, and since everything is now going well we, with many other stockholders. trust the mill will be let alone, and no time or money spent for attempt- ed improvement. From the dredge to the shipping room the mill is A. l. as any one who views the vest con- cern will readily admit. W'e didn’t venture to question Mr. Farr about the chances of a dividend. knowing that the initial stage. and. indeed the whole of the first year had incurred considerable liability. but the information was volunteered that the mill was working well. sales were good, the debt was being grad- ually wiped out. and the institution will soon be placed on fair footing to earn something for the stockholders. Very little, of late. has been said in the local press about our cement irn'ustry, and in order to give infor- mation to readers who may be inter- ested in the success of the enterprise we made it our business to interview Superintendent Farr, for some par- ticulars regarding the working and output for the month July. We were very graciously received and the genial superintendent “as quite willing to answer all our questions. During the month just ended there were 27000 barrels of clinkers burned, and the product disposed of. The total output is already contracted for, for the month of August, and large orders are already in for September delivery. The mill is working first class in every detail and a very proper working adjusrment has been made so that a large amount will be saved during the present year in the reduction made at the beginning of the season in the number of labor. ers employed. Should nothing hap- pen now and the mill 20 on as it has been so far this year there is every prospect for a capital showing at the neXt annual meeting.

He leaves to mourn his death two sisters, one son, one daughter and a. devoted wife, all of whom reside in this town and are much respected by the whole community. In religion he was a firm adherent of the Episcopal Church. In politics he was Conservative being at one time president of the Association here. In the public life of the town he took an active interest and served as Mayor for several terms. He was also a past master of the Masonic Society under Whose auspices he was buried Tuesday at Trinity Church Cemetery, Rev. Mr. Ryan officiating at the house and grave. Though born in England his father was born in the South of Ireland, and we believe there were very few who knew the nationality of the deceased gentleman who gave. himself very little concern about the land. of his birth. We regret very much to chronicle the death of Mr. H. \V. Mockler, so well and favorably known in this town and vicinity for over forty years. After a somewhat prolonged illness death claimed its vic‘tim on Sunday night last. Ashe had been brighter than usual during the evening the family had no idea the end would come sosoon. and the announcement wasa surprise to the community as well as a shock to the immediate rel- atives. Deceased was born Feby. 23rd. 1848, in Ipswich, England, and came to this country with his parents when an in- fant, settling for a short time at Wes- ton and Fergus before removing to this town when the subject of this sketch was about seven years of age. At the age. of fourteen years Mr. Mockler lost his father, and for some time after that he was engaged as clerk with the late J. H. Hunter, Subsequently about twenty-two or twenty-three years ago he entered business for himself up town, when he established an enviable reputation for honesty and fair dealing. Later on he moved down town to the stand he oc- cupied till the time of his death. About two years ago he gave up actual mercantile work and the busi- ness has since been conducted by his son. H. W.
