McFarland no Carpet Knight In 1910 the golden wedding was celebraâ€" ted by a family reunion. â€" Four years ago her husband died. Two sisters of deceased are Mrs. A. McAlpine, Toronto, Mrs. J. McAlpine, Thessalon. Three brothers are William in the West, James in Egreâ€" mont, Robert in Mt Forest. Rev. Mr. Scott, Holstein, conducted the funeral services in the old home and from there the remains were taken to Mt, Forâ€" est cemetery for interment. Pall bearers were Arch McEachern, Jas. McInnes, Jno McArthur, Hugh Sinciair, Alex McLean, Robt. Dodds. Deceased‘s maiden» name was Tamar Ann Morrison, born in Peterborough, Onâ€" tario, in 1844 and came to Egremont with her parents in 1850. In 1860 she married John Calder, they settled in Egremont and together enjoyed or endured the toils and triumphs of the pioneer life. â€" Thirteen children were horn to this worthy couple.

Durâ€" ham should be and no doubt will be repâ€" resented by a strong deputation. Thousâ€" ands of dollars go every year from this County for auto licenses and it is but: reasonable that some of it should be spent in the locality. We hope hearty, united action will result in such pressure being brought to bear on the government that it will adopt the scheme.
