The whole community nearly. at- tended the funeral of Mrs. Wm. here, which goes to show that Mr. and Mrs. Allan were highly respected. We can assure the heart felt sym pathy of this whole neighborhood in this sad hour of loss and bereave- ment, but we commend him and his family to the one that has promised to wipe away all tears from our eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. John Byers, of Tor- onto, are Spending a few days with the farmer’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Byers. John is one of the many young men of Hampden who are a credit. to the place. A number from here attended the sale at Mr. John Morice’s last Thurs- day and succeeded in getting their share of the articles sold. The Sacrament was dispensed to the Hampden congregation on the last Sunday in May. The attend ance was good although the day yvas rather cold and dreary. We are pleased to be able to state that Mr. Thos. Byers, who has been sorely afiicted with his eyes, is very‘ much better and it is hoped that in time his sight will be fully restored. The farmers of this locality, hav- ing got through with the busy sea.- son. are devising ways nnd means of enjoying themselves before the busy time returns, so we may ex- pact. to hear of" picnics, garden parties, excursions and probably weddings in the near future.

Allan from her sufiering which she had borne so patiently for the last eleven weeks ‘ Since it was learned that her affliction was the incurable cancer of the' stomach she had looked forward to! going to her reward with christian} fortitude and the end seemed to bei. sweet relief. Although she was buti fifty years of age she had fulfilled the, duties of life with much credit to herself and comfort to all who came] under her influences. more especially: in her home where she was uquyS ; to be found unless religious or social ; iduties called her away.

Egremont, where! she Spent her girlhood as Maggie; Ferguson. Knox, Normanby, where she has been a church worker for so many years. and this part where she has always been a kind and obliging neighbor. The Rev. Mr. Little preached the funeral sermon and the Rev. Mr. Anderson was also present and took part at the graveside. The pallbearers were Messrs. D. Leith, . J. Marshall. '1‘. Gadd. J. McLaugh- lan. J. Moore and S. Patterson. The remains were laid away in Maple- ? wood cemetery. A couple of young men while per- forming silly nuisances along the road the other night, placed some cordwood Sticks on the curve of the road at Hamilton’s corner which is a smooth piece of down grade and us. ually driven over at a smart trot by those returning from town. For- tunately no person passed over it that night to have an upset, but as ’ the fellows referred to are subject to. such fits of foolishness it would be well for them to go now and give themselves up to their mammas for safe keeping until they get sense enough to run at large without fear of bringing themselves and others to grief. A few of our young men took the excursion trip to Toronto, Niagara and Bufialo on Saturday. AmonB them was Messrs. W. Allan, G. Reid and Sam Patterson. The sudden and serious illness of Mr. George Collins on Monday even- ing was the result of appendicitis. and he was at once taken to the hos-} pital at Owen Sound. He has since{ been operated on and is doing well, and we trust will continue to do so. *It is rather remarkable that on the day Mr. Collins was taken to the hos- pital another of our citizens, Mr. E. 0. ~Merriam, after a surgical opera- tion and three weeks' confinement, was permitted to leave the instituo ‘tion end town home.

The annual meeting of the South Grey Farmers’ Institute was held here on Saturday last. In the ab some of the President, Mr. W. J. Young. who was at the Presbyterian Assembly in London, the chair was occupied bv the Vice President. Mr. Robt. Morice. Mr George Binnie. the eficient and untiring Secretary for many years. manipulated the quill and read the various minutes which were adopted without comment. The attendance was small, and there was very little discussion on anything submitted. The election and re-election year after year of the same directors was objected to by one or two membc rs. when it was pomted out the choice made on each occasion was the choice of the Institute and not from a self-seeking spirit on the elected candidates. \Vith only a handful of farmers at these annual gatherings it is hard to represent the wish and will of the great agricultur- al body who should be there in per- son to make their own selectiane. On this occasion as at previous meet- ‘ ings elections to the Board were made of absent members who were not consulted in the matter and who ‘may n0t, or can n0t act during the ; year of their election to ofice. It is ;only reasonable to assume that the i W1“ of the majority should be served, } but in order to do this it is quite as ;reasonable to assume that there L should be a representative attendance 3 of members of the Institute. 0 \Vithout making any serious di- gression we may repeat in substance what We often said before, and it is our firm belief that farmers as a rule do not show as much interest in meetings pertaining to their own work as they should take. The farm- 1 are form the bulk of the population, and we believe that farmers’ meetings should be more largely attended than the meetings of any other body in the community. We know they’re busy at certain seasons of the year, but we believe they would easily overtake the time they might con- sider lost by joining with their own class and discussing subjects per- taining to their own work. The excursion to the Model Farm‘ takes place on the 22nd inst., and a day’s outing will be beneficial to most of the farmers. their wives and families. and especially so to those who, perhaps, have not been ofi work a day since the last excursion. The arrangements and cost of excursion are published in this issue and we hape to see it well patronized and to *feel that those who go may be more than repaid lor the eXpense incurred.

Angus was thrown into the ditch and Peter was thrown against the fence. The latter died without regaining consciousness. but the other escaped with cuts and bruises that are not serious. Deceased was known to sev- eral in Chatsworth. and was a brother .of Mr. Archie Gillies, who was in buiness here for some time as a tailor. .The funeral on Saturday was one of the largest in the history of the Township of Sydenham.-â€"Banner.
