Not- withstanding the stormy weather twenty-six ladies gathered, and a most interesting meeting was held. After the business was transacted, Mrs. C. Ritchie gave a splendid paper on “Friendship,” and Mrs. Farquharson gave amost carefully prepared and interesting paper on “The Place of Women in Olden Times.” Miss Jean McGow- an gave an interesting demonstra- tion on stencilling. The meeting closed with the National Anthem. The next horse fair will be held here on Thursday, the 20th inst. It isn’t necessary any more to enlarge on the importance of these monthly fairs. The public know What they are for, and a mere hint is all they want. Those having horses to sell have a reasonable assurance of meeting buyers, and those wishing to buy have an equal assurance of find- ing horses. Though the last fair was not a huge success, it is not fair to infer that the next one seems to be in touch with all the buyers. Come out and see if there isn’t money in it for you, whether you want to buy or sell. . Dr. Farquharson delivered the second of a series of interesting addresses on Ireland, in the Pres- byterian church, at the meeting of the Guild on Monday night last. His subject was “William the Third in Ireland.” In his address he studied briefly the political lhistory of Ireland from Henry the Second to William the Third, re- ferring chiefly to the cruel oppres- lsion of the people under the Tud- ore and Stunrts; which culminated in the plantation of ‘Ulster, from the best blood of Puritan England and Scotland. Another address will be delivered shortly, con- tinuing the listory of Ireland up to the present time. Rev. Mr. Newton, who visited here a few weeks ago, was not in lgood health at the time, and ex- pressed his belief that something serious was the matter. He went to Goderich, to \isit a brothe1 ;and sister there, and was told by a resident physician that his liver :was affected, He then consulted Dr. "Cavan, a specialist, of Tor- onto, who diagnosed his trouble An English fire department is testing a new fire escape by which persons are lowered in a basket from a tower raised against a building, instead of being carried down ladders.

Dr. Waugh, Inspector of Contin-l nation schools for the Province of Ontario, visited the school here officially last week, .and reported. favorably on the work done, but rather unfavorably on the school accommodation. He advo'ca-ted very strongly the building of a new Continuation school, and: expressed his belief that the‘ Board made a mistake in notg having the work already under; way. Nothing, he emphasized,‘ tells so plainly of the character and public spirit of a community as up-to-date school buildings. In his address to the school Board, he referred to the enterprise of the little town of Burlington, which, during the past year erected a school building at a cost of $36,000, now recognized as the best equipped public school in the province. Burlington is not much larger than Durham. as cancer of the liver, and that nothing could be done by way of operation, as the cancer was on the inside. Mr. Newton is again in Goderich, but failing rapidly, and it may be only a few months, or perhaps a few weeks, till the end comes. ‘We always admired Mr. Newton as a man of sterling character, and we [are sure we are only giving voice to the general feeling of the community in ex- pressing deep regret in regard to his failing condition of health. The furniture factory hockey team came very near to breaking the winning streak of the clerks in the City League championship race on Wednesday evening of last week. As it was, they see-- ceeded in tying the game up, the score at full time being 6â€"6. There is no doubt but that these two teams are very evenly matched, if the going on this occasion was any criterion to go by, and were it not for a bad getaway by both cement works and furniture fac- tory teams, who both lost their first games to the clerks, the con- test for first position would be more in doubt. Owing to an ac- cident to Cowan, of the factory septette, the last half was played six men a side. To-night, the cement works and clerks clash, and as the latter are confident of redeeming their defeat of a few weeks ago, a close game is to be looked for. Toâ€"morrow 58 Valentine’s day.

He caught cold while at- tending the funeral of a former employee, but paid little attention to it, and it developed into pneuâ€" monia, and in a short time causâ€" ed his death. We believe that many deaths are caused by the common practice of standing in the cold during funeral services. Neighbors and friends, as a rule. are anxious to show their sympa- thy towards the relatives of the deceased, but there is so much risk in standing round on such oc- casions, especially in cold weath- er, that the custom should be abandoned. The person who leaves for his own safety and com- fort is not showing disrespect to the mourners or the deceased. and in many cases it would be safer and wiser to leave - rather than take any chances. DURHAM. out. munsnAv February 13, 1913. JOHN CLARK. One by one the pioneers are passing away, and soon the orig- inal home builders will be absent from us forever. Another of the old settlers of Bentinck passed away on Thursday last, in the per- son of Mr. John Clark, who was in his 91st year. He was born in the Isle of Mull, Scotland, in 1822, but the exact date of his birth is unknown. When young, he came to Canada. with his parents and settled for some years in the township of Vaughan, where he worked until the year 1847, when he took up lots 32 and 33, in the third con- cession of Bentinck, west of the (irarafraxa road. This part of the country was then a wilderness, and about $1.60 an acre of our present currency was the price paid for wild land. The lots referred to cost 80 pounds, or about $320 of the cur- rency of that time. It may be ger readers that it was not till a number of years later that the decimal system of dollars and cents was introduced into Canada. but money values were named in pounds, shillings and pence, just as in England to-day. We might mention here also that the land office at the time was at Elora, this part of the county of Grev‘ being then in the Wellington dist-f rict. He took out his deed in 1848, and in 1849 he was married to Catharine McKechnie, who predeceased him a number of years ago. A year later, in 1850. he moved with his young wife, a yoke of oxen, and three cowsâ€"all his earthly wealthâ€"to the wilds of Bentinck, .settled on the farm mentioned above, and remained there till the time of his death. . The marriage union resulted in a family of nine. or ten, children. eight of whom are still living. as follows: Janet. Mrs. J. W. Smith, of Aberdeen: James, of Port Elâ€" gin; John. of Cochrane: Mary, Mrs. Jos. Byers, near Saskatoon; Annie, at home; Malcolm, in Pet- erborough: Bessie, M'rs. Duncan Morrison. at Dornoch; and Mar- garet. Mrs. D. McGillivray, in All except John, and Mrs. Byers, were present at the funeral.

He often obliged his neighbors by making needed re- pairs, as well as ox-yokes, bows, and other articles, even to the making of coffins, when a friend or neighbor happened to be call- ed away by death. The home- made coffin was a common thing in those early days, and persons who were at all skilled in the use of tailâ€"s were often called on to discharge the painful duty. .1 (3 Like all pioneers, the deceased had his troubles and misfortunes. His first crop was cut with a sickle, threshed with a flail, and winnowed by nature’s fanning mill. His first grist, the product of his hard labor, was taken to be ground to Dunsmore’s old flour mill, erected on the site where the furniture factory’s power- house is now located. He Was unable to get his grist home with him that night. and decided to leave it till next day. Unfortun- ately the mill caught fire during the night, and the grist and bags were destroyed with the other contents. However small such a loss might seem now, it ’was a hard blow then to the struggling young farmer. but there was no such word as failure in Mr. Clark’s dictionary, and shortly afterwards, with other neighbors, he took a grist to l ' Continued on page 5.
