The arithmetic class was the first called, and in order to make a‘ good impression the teacher put the first question to Johnny Smith, the star pupil. “Johnny, if coal is selling bring you?” “Three,” was the prompt reply from Johnny. The teacher, much embarrassed, said. “Why, Johnny, that isn’t right.” “0, I know 2. «=n’t hut they do it anyhow.”â€" er. At last he came, and tn were called out to show thei1 ments.

Born on the 2nd of November, 1819, '| in the County Down. Ireland, he was nearly 89 years of age at the time of his death. He came to this country in 1837, and settled at Stoneham, in what was then called Lower Canada, but now the Province of Quebec. After living there with his uncle for some time he came to Upper Canada, ‘ and subsequently settled in the Queen’s ‘ Rush sixty-four years ago, on the sec- ond concession of Glenelg, where he liVed ever since, except when he used to go “down below" to harvest. In- politics he was a staunch Conser- vative, and never voted any other way. He was a careful reader of politics and ' was seldom, if ever. defeated in a i political argument. 1 As a neighbor he was always oblig- '. ing, and was always the essence of l honor in his dealings with his fellow- iman. His word was as good as his ‘ bond, and so long as a man played fair l in his dealings, Mr. Farr was always 1 ready to trust him, but let him find a man false and relationship of trustl 1 was hard to restore. He was a devoted member of the g , ‘ English church. had a high reverence l . ' for the Deity and sacred things, and'l would never indulge in irreverence ‘ 1 himself, nor permit any one else to do , ' so in his presence without giving re- proof. Never in his own home would he permit evil to be spoken of any one. s In many ways Mr. Farr was in a class i lby himself, and the death of such a noble and upright character is a decid- ed loss to the connnunity. l S e , l He was married in 1856 to Blizahetlfl Grant, who predeceased him about six years ago. He leaves one son, Rev. ’1‘. H. Farr, of Gorrie, and one daugh- ter. Miss Margaret. Farr, at home. The renmins were interred in Trinity church cemetery on Monday last, his pastor, Rev. A. A. Bice. officiating at the house and grave. MRS. GEORGE L. 8. HA\\'. Many of her friends and acquaint- ances will bmgrieved to hear of the death of Mrs. George L. B. Haw. Deceased was a daughter of the late Hugh and Frances McLean, born on July 29, 1865, at lot 5, con. 15, of the township of Proton, Grey County. She was married on June 8, 1892. to George L. B. Haw, of the township of Hope, Durham County. After their marriage they lived on one of Mr. Rutledge’s farms one and a quarter. miles south of Perrytown. Here two children were born to them, both dy- ing in infancy. In 1896 they moved to his father’s old homestead, lot 25, con. 17, Egremont. In October 1899 Mrs. Haw was taken with a severe attack of goiter, from which she never fully recovered. In January 1908 dia- betes set in. and after seven months of patient suffering she passed peacefully away on July 22nd. During life she was very kind and benevolent, always helping the sick and the needy. She was much beloved in the circle in which she moved, and will be greatly missed by her many friends and neighbors. In religion she was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church. and by her firm belief and christian life she won the love and respect. of all who knew her. Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn her loss two sisters, Mrs. Rich- ardson, of Swinton Park, Mrs. Sack- ett, of Hampden. and two brothers, Alexander, of Dromore, and James, of Ceylon. OBITUABY.
