Next Sunday will be Cand‘lemas day, and the newspapers next week will be telling whether the bear could see his shadow that day or not. The county council is in session at Owen Sound this week. The changing of the hour for Trinity Sunday school to 2.30 pan. is producing gratifying results. The attendance has greatly in- creased. It is desirable that all children should be encouraged to attend some Sunday school, as it is largelythere, and there only, they will receive their religious training.

We often hear complaints of excessive express rates, and high charges for postal transmission, but it is a question, after all, it cheap rates by parcel post, or otherwise is not going to be det- rimental to all country towns. As it is, the big city departmental stores are sending out more goods to the country towns and villages than some of the good stores that help to pay the taxes and sup- port the schools, churches and other institutions. It seems to be only a matter of time till all the smaller places will be crushed out of existence, and once a monopoly is secured, the consumer will pay the piper.

The evening was brought to a close by singing the Natmnal Anthem. The A.Y P. A. arranged and conducted the affair. It has been reported at Sarnia that a C. (P. R. line will soon be built to that town from Goderich following the line of the lake shore. The distance is about 70 miles by land, and runs through a valuable fruit country which is growing more valuable every year. It is rumored that the C. P. R. set aside such an appropriation to construct such 'a line during the present year. Another railway which is to operate by electric power, is also after a charter to follow the lake shore, and will go through to Meaford, on Georgian Bay. Many believe that the latter line is for the C. P. R. The Hon. A. J. Matheson, K. C., Provincial Treasurer, died sudden- ly at his home in Perth on Satur- day night last. Heart failure was the cause of death, which was almost instantaneous. He was obliged to be absent for some time from the last session, when Hon. 1. B. Lucas was acting Pro- vincial Treasurer, a position he will likely hold till the appoint- ment of a successor. Knowing that his heart was affected, lie often expressed a desire to die suddenly when the time came. He was an Anglican in religion, and was never married. He was in his 68th year. The funeral took place on Tuesday at his home in Perth, a number of Cabinet ministers and members of the Provincial Legisla- ture being in attendance.

This places the Clerks at the top of the heap, with two wins and no losses, while the Cement Works and Furn'ture Factory have e>c‘u lost one to the Clerks. This Wed- nesday evening, the two cellar position teams meet in their first game, and each will try and climb out of the root-house and break into the twin column. It promises to be at least the most evenly contested match played so far, and there is no doubt but that a battle royal will take place for second position. Mr. Jos.

Mi PERSONAL He was married in Port Colborne to Susan Grabelle, and the union resulted in a family of three sons and five daughters, as follows: Thomas G., in town; Dr. Edward Lauder, in Cleveland; A. W. H., the Deputy-Registrar here; Mrs. W. J. Young, in town; Mrs. R. S. Mundell. in Derby township, this county; Mrs. James Davidson, de- ceased; Mrs. Archie Little, Swift Current, Soak, and Mrs. J. J. Haslett, of Winnipeg. In 1871, he was appointed to the Registrarship, and 'held the ap- pointment continuously to the time of his death. For the past year, he has been unable personally to discharge the duties of office, but these were ably attended to by his son, Mr. A. W. H. Lauder, who acted in the capacity of Deputy. The deceased has always been a staunch member of the Presbyter- ian church, and took an active in- terest in all moral questions that made for the welfare of the people. He was always held in high esteem by the community, and was dearly loved by all the members of his own familyuwho tried whenever possible, to give him cheer and comfort by their frequent visits. Dr. Lauder was particularly attach- He was born at Be'Wcastle, Coun- ty Cumberland, England, on the 8th day of November, 1828. His father’s name was Thomas Lauder, and his morher’s name Elizabeth Forester. The deceased was edu- cated at Crookgate school, in his native town, and in May 1851, came to Canada and entered mercantile business in Port Colborne, where he remained until 1856, when he came to this county, and engaged in farming for a number of years.

He regarded his father as “A Grand Old Man,” and we believe a similar affection was shown by all the other members of the fam- ily. Death was not unexpectea. as the past two or three years, but has been confined to his bed only since New Years. He was prede- ceased by Mrs. Lauder twenty years ago on the 18th of next May. A conscience-stricken chap from North Bay, signing himself “Cath- olic,” sent $25 conscience money to the secretary of the T. 8: N. 0 By. We wish some of our delinquents would be similarly hit, and send along the money. Interment was made on Tuesday afternoon, in Durham cemetery. M-any citizens express their sat- isfaction with the extended tele- phone service, recently installed in and around town. The all-night service is especially appreciated. The new manager is also receiving bouquets for his courteous atten- tion to his duties. The extension of the service in the town makes it more imperative than ever that every progressive store, office and shop in the town have a phone of its own. The one that has not will soon be regarded as a back num- ber, and gradually the shop with the phone will get the business. This is the trend of modern prog- MR. THOMAS LAUDER.
