AN HONORED lame CLOSED. - Last I week's Barrie Advance contains a leng- ;thy notice of John Laird. one of its earliest settlers. who has just passed guwny at an advanced age. Deceased ‘was an uncle of Mrs. Wm. Black. of town, and the. warmth of the references to him by the editor and by the pastor of the Methodist church where he held office continuously for 52 years show him to have been a. man of sterling worth and a. light to the community. He saw active service in the rebellion of 1Err, came to Barrie in 1839, was a prominent contractor and made the first development of the Sault Water power where the Clergne works now are. His motto was "Peace and Pro. gress." He was "slow to condemn.! ever ready to forgive. his life was an benediction. and his noble char-curl leaves its impression on those who mourn his loss.” The funeral services, I otrerintm, to. were very impressive.

A new bunco game is being worked on unwary merchants throughout the country. A man enters the store, displays a government badge and states that he is on the secret service and on the lookout for counterfeit money. He looks over the cash drawer and invari- ably finds four or five counterfeit dol- lars. which he "confiscates." The whole thing is a fraud. ‘ GrrovLs..-- Sometime last Saturday night or Sunday morning some one With low ideas of decpncy. removed the rib. Iron from the flortu offerings at the Ar. rowsmith grave.

DURHAM, Tmmodrrrjririiii,- 2, 1903 'repared Paints are the try them--MaeFarhuse & om Newspaper subscribers often wonder why the publisher keeps on sending the paper when the subscription has expir- ed. An exchange thus explains the matter: When a subscription is paid to a certain time, and the time expires and the paper stops, it looks as if the editor doubted the integrity of a sub- scriber, and in nine cases oat of ten the subscriber will give the editor a calling down for insinuating that his credit was not good. Rather than cast any (reflection against a neighbor's honesty, [ to pay a small debt, it has been custom- ary for newspapers to continue sending , the paper after the time has expired. , The city Weeklies and dailies do not generally follow this rule " their sub- I scribers are at a distance. and besides: they are not acquainted with them and 1’ do not know their finaneial standing, One should deem it an honor to knot that his credit is not doubted when the publishers continue to send the paper. I Should the subscriber wish to have the] paper discontinued he should inform the publisher and remit to date. if anyi amount is owing.
