He was over eighty years of age, and a resi- dent of the. township for more than sixty years. He was born in the Isle of Mull, Scotland, date not accurately known. In 1849. he came to Canada, settled two years at Fergus, and then came to Glen- elg, where he remained ever since. One brother, Charles, near Bunes- san. .died three years ago, and about the same time, a sister died in the States. One sister still sur- vives, and lives with her nephew, Charles Kennedy, near Bunessan. Of his family, one son, ’Charles, died a number of years ago. The surviving members are Dan., at Berkeley; Allan and Thomas, near McWilliams; Colin, in Egre- t mont and J ohn. and Bella at home. The concrete work on the bridge was completed last week, and from general appearance, Mr. Begg has turned out a first-class jOb. Nearly three hundred barrels of cement were used in the work}, and as the wall is over nine feet thick at the bottom, and tapers off to eighteen inches at the top, it ‘ should stand a heavy pressure of‘ water to move it. The bottom was ’closely piled before the concrete | was put in, to make the foundation secure. The steel work of the old bridge was shipped to Stratiord on Monday, where it will be put in condition by the Bridge Company, and returned, we hope, beiore long. Once the material is again on the ground, the completion of the work will not take long. A gang of men and teams is now en- gaged in msking the necessary fills. We hope to see the work finished before the close 0! the Butter is .’ and eggs 27c. Mc William_sville .S. Drysdale, of Hamilton, was un- gexpectedly called on for a solo, .and gave a splendid rendering land vivid interpretation of :‘The 'Ninety and Nine.” The principal feature of the entertainment was Lan address by Rev. Mr. Cooper, 'of Mt. Forest, on “Rambles in Auld Beckie.” After a hurried imagin- ary trip by rail to Portland, Me., and a rough voyage across the ,Atlantic and the Irish Sea, he landed at Liverpool. from which 'he went by rail to Edinburgh. The young people of the Presby- terian church had a very inter- :esting meeting on Monday even- ing. {The President, Mr. Peter 'Ramage, occupied the chair, and fiafter disposing of the regular lroutine business, a profitable {program was rendered. The pro- fgram consisted of a couple of Tquartettes, a duet by Mrs. Stone-’- ’ouse and Miss Hunter. Mr. John He explained that the word “Beckie” was applied to Edin- burgh on account of the smoke rising from its thousands of chim- neys. For over an hour the audi- ence was held spellbound. His descriptions were graphic, his language clear and his pictures realistic. Occasional bits of hum- or dispelled any tendency towards weariness, and we feel safe in belieVing that the time passed quickly to every attentive listener. To those who know the city, the address was a delightful treat. to those who were never there, the desire to see the old hist01ic city must have been one of the uppu- most thoughts. We’ll not spoil Mr. Cooper’s address by attempting to describe it. The history of Edinburgh from its foundation in the early part of the seventh century, was brieflv told. For some time there Was little progress, but during the last two or three hundred years the gr wth was rapid, and Scotland’! cagital is now the second largest in Scotland. Old graveyards were visited and notes made of some of the quaint epitaphs. The story of Jenny 'Geddes, the part she played with that historic stool, formed an entertaining part of Mr. Cooper's address. Mr. Ramage, Mr. Farquharson and Mr. Drysdale spoke briefly at the close of the address, and mov- ed a vote of thanks, to which ,a hearty response was given by. the audience. BOYSCOUTS TO HELP “THE OTHER FELLOW.” The co-operation of the Boy Scouts of Ontario 'has been en- listed in the movement to have the first day of December gener~~ aliv 0! served as Tuberculosis Sun- day . throughoht the province. Members of each local corps will attend the various churches in uniform, and distribute literature regarding 'the care and cure of consumptives, and reviewing the progress made in the fight against Tuberculosis. Each boy will wear a special badge bearing the legend “Help the other fellow,” the prin- cipal of “helping the other fellow” being one of the chief obligations laid upon the members of the or- ganization. The purpose of Tuber- culosis Sunday is purely educative, and it is not proposed to take up special offerings for the work. “I reckon,” said the first farmer, “that I get up earlier than any person in this neighborhood. I am always up before 3 o’clock in the morning}! The second farmer said he was always up before then and had part of the chores done. The first farmer thought he was a liar, and decided to find out. A few morn- ings later, he got up at 2 o’clock and went to the neighbor’s house. He rapped on the back door and the woman. of the house opened it. RAMBLES IN AULD REEKIE “Where is your husband?!” aeked the farmer, expecting to find the neighbor in bed. ‘ DURHAI. 01"., THURSDAY November 2|, 1912. “He was around here early in the morning,” answered the wife. “but I don’t know where he is now.’L Ex-Snltan Abdul Hamid oi Tur- key, in an accompanilt.

Mr. Eudo Saunders, Chief License Officer, had ordered samples to be sent to Toronto for analysis, and in the meantime a summons has been served on the supposed consignee to learn what service the shipment was designed to perform. SUSPICIOUS EXTRACTS SEIZED AT LISTOWEL The License Branch of the Pro- vincial Secretary’s Department have ordered the seizure of a shipment of four dozen bottles of extract at Listowel. The depart- ment was advised through - the local License Inspector that the shipment had the appearance of an extract that might be used with high wines for making various kinds of intoxicating drinks. It was thought to be consigned to some person in Durham. Durham is a local option municipality, consequently the license officials got active. The above article appeared in Monday’s Globe, and on Tuesday Inspector Allan told us that the consignment had been shipped to his address here, and an enquiry ordered. The preliminary investiâ€" gation takes place this Thursday morning, but what the result will be we are unable to say. In a brief interview with Mr Johnston, we learn that the con- signment consists of flavoring ex- tracts. This, he said, was his first order, and the consignment never reached him. . He ordered the extracts on the strength of an ad- vertisement which guaranteed the business strictly legitimate any- Where. The following is part of an ad- vertisement which appears in some American papers, and bears a suspicious look: “Agents.
