ON Tuesday Senator McMullen was notified by telegram that his nephew, Mr. Robert A. Grant, had died unex-g pectedly in Toronto. The deceased had been ill for about a month. buta serious result was not looked for. About a month ago an operation was performed for trouble in the leg but complications set in which culminated in pneumonia and heart failure. Mr- Grant was in his 40th year. and was the eldest son of Rev. Dr. Grant, (Knoxonian) of Orillia, and a brother of Mr. Geo. D. Grant, M. P. He was a rising lawyer in Toronto and a pro- nounced Liberal, being: active in the interests of his party on many oc- casions. His wife died. after a linger- ing illness. in December last. and interment took place in Durham, her former home.

SHORTLY after one o‘clock on Mon-l day, the 15th inst., little Lloyd Noon, the eleven months old baby, son ofl Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Wilkinson, went home to be with Jesus. To see the child was to love him. Dr. Brown of Holstein did all in his power to save the little fellow, but gave little hope from the first, as it was pneumonia and inflammation of the brain. The; little one was laid to rest in the family 1 l plot in Maplewood Cemetery on \Ved- nesday, the 17th, the little white vel- vet casket being covered with flowers from sympathetic friends. Four small boys carried him to the grave which was beautifully lined with white wad- ding and greens. The Rev. Mr. New- ton officiated at both the house and the grave, delivering an impressive :sermon from the words. “It is well ‘with the child."

'l‘oRRY of - the South Grey Rifle Association had a letter from headquarters stating that at present a supply of rifles is not available for the corps here. but that they would" be forthcoming as soon as possible. This is somewhat encouraging to the members who had about given the matter up for lost, but there is nothing more to be done till the rifles arrive, which may be expected at any time. 1.\' some way we omitted to publish at the time the death of Chas. W'ilkin- son which took place on the 13th inst. The deceased was a native of Lincoln- shire, England, and has been a resi- dent of this town for the past forty years or thereabouts. For about ten years he was engaged at his trade of tanner with Mr. Thos. Smith of this town, having come here from Guelph where he was employed similarly. He was seventy-seven years of age, but appeared older as he was never a strong man and years seemed to show i on him. He was a brother of the late‘ Isaac \Vilkinson, of Normrnby, who idieda few years ago. He leaves a 'widow. Interment took place to Maplewood cemetery whither the re- mains were followed by alarge con- course of friends. ON the evening of Monday the 30th of April, in the Presbyterian church, under the auspices of the Guild, Rev. . T. McCullough. of Harriston, will give a lecture on the Great \Vest, its re- sources, prospects and possibilities. Mr: McCulloch has travelled over a large part of the \Vest and has seen the frowning glories of the Rockies as well as the still more fascinating view of the limitless fields of Wheat spread out at their feet. The lecture will be illustruted by lime light views of great excellence gathered from many sources and will be an inspiration to a more enlightened patriotism as well as an appeal for a broader visioned mission- ary activity. \Vith Mr. )IcCulloch’s rare gift of eloquence and his spirit of native humor that never fails to reach the heart all are assured of a pleasant and profitable evening, Admission 15 1 and 10 cents. AT the Spring Assizes at Guelph, Hon. Sir \Vm. Mullock, Chief Justice of the Exchequer Division, uttered words of warning to parents in refer- ence to the training of children. In addressing the jury, His Lordship re- viewed the three crimnal cases before him, and particularly urged the necess- ity of parents and guardians paying stricter regard to the bringing up of their children. Judge Mullock’s warn- ing is timely for there is at present a growing laxity in parental discipline. Children do not show that respect to their parents, that they did many years ago. Actions and conduct on the part of children that would not have tolerated years ago, are now passed over or regarded as “smart.” “Street education” and bad company are gradually deteriorating child life character in many cases. We fear that in this respect, there is a drifting from safe anchorage, that will, in the end, be disastrous forparents, children, and the community.
