i# Te The Warden, after resuming the chair, expressed his thanks and gave an account of reception given him at Meaford after his election as Ward=n in January last. He then acknowledged having received great assistance from ceunty clerk, in dischargâ€" ing lis daties, and donubted whether he gould have got along without this assis, The warden refoerred to the resignation of alr‘ Reis, with wlom he declared he was sorry to part, Mr. Reis replied brief. ly stating that bis resignation was made on account of the business in which he was embarking. _ Mr. Gordon tollowed and preâ€" sented Mr, Reis with $5 as a gift from No 1 division, Therecipient sccepted the gift with thanks, remarking that No. 1 division was well off, and be only wished the others eould do the same. Mr. shute moved that January session be appoin the questrion of equalizatiof Mr. shute moved that the third day of January session be appoint«ed to consider the question of equalization of assessment. NMr, Allen moved in amendment that a committee of eight members, one from each dlvision be appornted to meet ou the Monâ€" day aiternoon preceding the January sessâ€" ion for the purpose of revising the county valuation and report thereon. The amendâ€" menut was lost on a division of 7 yeas and 9 nays,. Mr. Shute‘s motion was carried on a division of 11 yeas and 5 nays. 0n motion Mr. McDonald took the chair, and Messrs. Gordon and Doyle moved the thauks of counceil to the warden, Mr‘ G#o. A. Brown, for the able, courteous and imâ€" partial manner in which he had conducted the business through the year, and also voted him $l00 to defray expenses. The motion was carried by standing rote, only MeArthur keeping bis seat. * Mr. MeArthur then rose to say that he a greed with the sentiment of the motion, but was opposed to granting monoi with. out knowing whatit was for. He hamorâ€" eusly referred to the rapidity of action of the mover of the resolution which preventâ€" ed him entering a protest in time. <â€" Mr. MeArthar was called to order by the chair man, who then presented Warden Brown with the resolution just past® Saturpary MorxIxe. Byâ€"laws, 608 and 609, the first for the appointment of a special committee to deal with the Crispin bridge queston, and the latter to adopt the arms of Earl Grey as the county seal, and repeal byâ€"law 76 were introduced. The latter byâ€"law was left over till Jannary session, and will be the first county document to be stamped with the new seal. Mr. McGregor followed, saying he neyer knew before be was such a preacher, and hoped the many kind things he had heard would inspire him in his future work. _A true ministry beâ€" longed to the people, he believed in an educated ministry and all educational gifts and graces should be used to lift humanity. â€" He saw good in all churchâ€" Though not on the program the chairâ€" man called on Messrs John Brown and C, McArthur both members of the congregation, who from the inner circle spoke warmly of the valae of Rev. Mr. McGregor‘s personal walk and the ability and Christian character of his gospel ministrations. â€" They were pleased to see the town appreciated their pastor as well as his own congregations. _ Messrs Irwin and Ramage followed and as the latter was speaking Rev. Mr. Farquharson arrived, having come from Toronto a train earlier to be presâ€" ent. He remembered the kind words Mr. McGregor had extended to him on coming to Durham, and could testify to the genumeness and warmth of the sentiment entertained towards this brother minister. Mayor Calder also made appriate remarks and was glad to see so many from other congregrtions. In the absence of Rev. Mr, Smith (who sent apologies) and Rev. Mr. Pomeroy the chairman called on Rev. Mr, Stewâ€" art, the veteran Baptist clergyman, who from the yerge of 90 years is still good fer platform effort, being, as the medical cgairman said, a physical and mental wonder, Me opened with a facetious reference to the great men of Aberdeenshire (of which he and Mr. McGregor were natives). He bad reâ€" commended Mr. McGregor 8 yrs, ago and had seen no reason to change his mind. â€" He had frequemly. however, told him that ne was not in his place, for when one can preach to 1000 as well as 100 * thats his place." There were calls and calls, Some men call themâ€" selves, soume the church called, some are called by God himself and other the devil ca‘lls, this last being a kind of partnership with the first, Mr. Stewart made the speech of the evening, and the chairman‘s remark was justified that he would like to have heard him in his prime if what he had given was a specimen of * couldn‘t make his tongue go " as Mr, Stewart had complained of. The Baptist Church on Thursday evening last was well filled with an audience of yvarious denominations and with representativyes from town and country, all met to honor the pastor and public man who for about 8 yrs. has ably filled the Baptist pulpit here and won great esteem as a citizen. Dr. Jamieson, M. P. P., who, by proximity and public station was chosen as a fitting chairman, filled the position admirably and voiced the sentiment uppermost in all minds and echoed in various strains by each succeeding speaker. Principal Allan spoke first and brancbed out on the importance of proper hearing as well as proper preachâ€" ing. Insp. Campbell spoke of the changes in 8 years in tg: town and throughout the world ; of the farâ€"reachâ€" ing results of influence, and of the gap Mr. McGregot‘s removal would make in the literary life of the town.

Revirw and Weekly Sun Jan. 1, 1903 RrEviEw and Weekly Mail to Jan 1, 1903 " It falls to the lot of few editors to have to chronicle the death of a centenâ€" natian, but when such becomes their sad duty, it gives them serious food for reflection. If they be young men, they will wonder whether they can ever reach the half century mark ; if middle aged, whether the eternal decree wills them to attain the venerable age of 100 years. As it now falls to our lot to chronicle the recent death of a centenâ€" arian, we are filled with serious thoughts regarding the future. Whether we be old or young, matters not to our readâ€" ers. The centenarian whose death we now chronicle is Neil McPhee, of lot 51â€" 3 concession Normanby. His death was caused by a fall which he sustained about ten years ago. Then he took to his bed from which he has never since risen. _ Notwithstanding â€" his severe sufferings, his mind was bright and cheerful and up to within half an hour of his death he was talking with those around him. _ Unconsciousness â€" then seized upon him and in this state he passed peacefully away. Mr, McPhee, who had passed his 101st birthday was a native of Argylshire, Scotland. He was born in Tabull Ardmeannarch on the lands of McLean of Loch Buie. He was a grandson, on the maternal side, of Donald Campbell who fought with Bonnie Prince Charlie at Calloden. In January, 1844 he married Mary Mcâ€" Quarrie, a native of the Island of Ulva. In 1846 he emigrated with his wife to Canada, and settled in Normanby upon the farm upon which he has jast died. Besides his wife, who is now in her 77th year, he is survived by a family of three sons and five daughter, They are Malcolm at Nenagh ; Dancan and Arch. For 8$1.75 This gentlemen, well know in Norâ€" manby for over 50 years, passed away last week at the truly patriarchal age mentioned above, which he exceeded by 4 months, 23 days, having thus lived in three centuries! He was a relative of the McFayden‘s and Turnbull‘s of Glenâ€" elg, and of Mr. Jno. A. Black of town. His son, Mr. Malcolm McPhee, is wellâ€" know in the municipal and social life of his own township, and ably assisted in the enumeration of his district at the late census, which was to him the 7th he remembered. â€" The article below from the Mt. Forest Confederate covers the case so well that we give it entire : Bangs, Wavy and Plain Fronts, Switchâ€" es in eyery length and shade. etc. His Hair Googs Styles, when properly adâ€" justed, protect and ornament the head, soiten and beautify the expression of the face and consequently tone up aged appearance.
