There is too much stage play to im- press sensible peeple with the ser- iousness of their intentions. There are many important problems press- ing for solution, and among these is the government ownership and con- trol of all railroads and express companies. The latter in particular impose prices which are out of all proportion to the service rendered. The companies are making fortunes out of the people who are helpless to I right the wrong. There are two companies doing business in Ontario. The Canadian and The Dominion, and like two opposing lines of railway they try to make the transportation . as eXpensive as possible. If a parcel has to be carried by two companies the cost is doubled. Each company charges its own rate regardless of the distance. From the standpoint of the put-ilic this is a huge iniquity and surely demands regulating by law. A parcel of Specified Weight ‘ should he carried a specified distance ‘ for a stated rate regardless of the 1 number of companies engaged in the ' transportation. It is only fair to the 1 public that when important fran- I chises are granted to private com- panies. these franchises should be I managed with some regard to the 0 public interests-â€"not by the amass- ing of princely fortune by these I companies at the expense of the n pubhc e Sim ly write to the T.

A story comes from Glenelg township to the eflect that a well known farmer wanted his son to get up early and go to work. The boy had a habit of answering " yes sir ” and going to sleep again. On this occasion last week the father. to make no mistake. called the boy, got the " yes sir ” and then slid up the stairs. turned down the covers and gave the person a good spanking. It happened that on that night the hired girl had been given the boy’s room.

The members of the class of the deceased in the Collier street church sent a. crown; the officials of the church. a wreath ; the family.a pillow and sprays of flowers were brought hy-sorrowiug friends aTheLNorthsrn Advance. Mr. ltedditt closed with a brief and inspiring review of the life of the de- ceased, who for 52 years had been the chief officer of the church. asking the pertinent question. “ was his life a success?” and in answer referred his hearers to his fellow Christians. church officers, among whom he was an apostle of peace; his fellow citi- zens and his family. Can you sug- gest a better plan of life? “'6 are all obligated to a holy life by know- ing this faithful servant of God, some one must bear the mantle in the church and community. After the impressive service the public viewed the remains and the burial took place. W‘m PRESENTATION. ! The manifoldness is evident. a ,shock indicates a bundle of sheaves. teaching the great lesson of the far reaching influences of a life. Notice also, the glorious destiny indicated : ”He comes to his grave.” though like all men he must die :, he is not driven as the wicked. but faces it camly, willingly, gracefully. to be garnered in glory as a shock; his body falls; he rises; the earthly; house is dissolved; the tenant 20es‘ to “the house not made with hands.” The funeral, which was held on Wednesday afternoon. proceeded to the Collier street Methodist church. where a large number of friends of 5 the deceased had assembled to pay a g tribute of respect to his memory. The choir was in attendance, and during the service, Mrs. Laidman sang the solo, “ Face to Face.” with much feeling. Rev. J. J. Redditt, . the outer, based his remarks upon . Job 5: 26, ” Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of , corn cometh in his season.” and said in effect: " This is a beautiful cli~ max of a sanctified life, a ripe and venerable old age Safely through the drill and discipline of the present day housed for glory in the gamer of the sky.

Mr. Laird was born near the historic town of Ennis- killen. County of Fermanagh, Ireland When a youth of eighteen he was sent out to Quebec to his uncle to take a position. under him in a bank- ing establishment. Arriving there he found his uncle dead, consequently he was thrown on his owe resources. The vicissitudes of life develop the inherent principles of refinement and culture; honorable, studious and sen- sitive, he grew to fuller manhood sharing in the struggles and career of his adopted country, He saw ac- tual service in the Rebellion of 1837. and in 1839 came to Barrie, where he became a very successful contractor. He early saw the value of the water power at Sault Ste. Marie. and in company with Mr. Jonathan Hender- son, made the first depelopment of pmperty now occupied by the Clergue syndicate. For several years he act. ed for the Mayor. as Magistrate of the town, to the entire satisfaction of the public. He was thoroughly in- formed on leading public questions. Mr. Laird was an active and honored member of the Methodist church, having held the position of recording steward and class leader for fifty- two years continuously. His motto in church life was ” Peace and Pro- gress,” and through all those years he manifested the phases of Christian character. which not only enobled but endeared him to every one in church life. . Slow to condemn. ever '1 ready to forgive. his life was a bene- diction and his noble character leaves its impress on those who mourn his loss, but live in hepe of the meeting that knows no end.
