He has passed on before but his life and character has been so worthy that his memory will long remain an influence on all he associated with. After a brief service in the home the remains were taken to Amos Church for a memorial service. _ A large number could not get in. .

Born, he said, without material adâ€" vantages, he had made a success of life, he had fought a good fight. He will be missed in his home, in church and Sabbath School, in the Council and in Masonic Circles. _ There was the empty seat. the sorrowing friends but there was the consolation that be bad fooght a good fight and left a gloriouns example. Rev Mr. McCarten, Methodist pas® tor at Bbenezer, also spoke words o! sympatbhy and cheer. _ The life of deceased spoke louder than words While there was a gap in home, chureh and other circles, that vacant place was a call to others to volunâ€" teer for service. The voluntary "Slumber On" sung by the choir of which Mr. Lothian was long a member, was peculiarly appropriate and rendered with the deep feeling that pervaded every member. The leader, Mr W.

Dated at Durham this 12th day of Sepcember, 1919, Mr Lothian was born in the townâ€" ship of Nichol but, with his parents, came to E sremont in early youth and lived near Holstein and in other parts but his chief life work lay in North Egremont. _ He sat in the township council for years and last January was given the reeveship by acclamaâ€" tion. He was a Liberal in politics Presbyterian in religion, an elder in Amos church, a zâ€"alous worker in the Sabbath School and a stand by in the choir for many years, Occasionally even he took the pulpit.

He died the Friday previous at his home on the 19th con., Egremont, atter some weeks of illness from 1ypâ€" hoid fever, Though realizing the illness was serious, the community cou‘d scarcely think of death, in one lately so vigorous, so useful, and so much in the public eye, and so when the fact was made known there was a shock of sorrow that put a wide com munity into gloom.

V are very much annoyed at article on the Saugeen Presâ€" bytery meeting last week appearing in the Mt. Forest paper where it is said that the Presbytery passed a resolution condemnâ€" ing the gambling devices used at celebraâ€" tions at Arthur, Mt. Forest, Palmerston, Durham and Harriston. This reflection on the town and especially on the soldiers‘ day here on July 1st is not pleasing to the Veterans who claim that there were no gambling practices on the grounds on that day. "The resolution is all right," said Pres. B. Willis, "but ~thereâ€" has been a mistake made either by the Presbytery 0" the Mt Forest paper. _ We kept our day clean and it is not pleasing to he handed an unsavoury reputation when we have not earned it."" Rev Mr Whaley has assured Veterans‘ Executive that the Presbytery is not at fault. Clear skies, a splendid bill of attractions and a desire to honor all returned soldiers and nurses in the county of Grey, were factors contributing to the success on Taesday of the biggest day Owen Sound ever had in its history _ There were fully 15090 visitors and they came from every direction. _ All morning an unceasing stream of moters poured into the county town and the trains on the previous day and on the day itself were packed with people, who came with the sole idea of having one of the biggest days in their lives. To accommodate its thousands of guests was a herculanean task but the county towa accomplished it and saw they had the r money‘s worth as well. The ceremony of depositing the colors of the 147th Battalion in the Public Libâ€" rary building was conducted by Major (Rev.) Thurlow ~Fraser, D. D.., assisted Rev. Father Pickett, while 100 members of the old battalion paraded. "The Dumbells" the concert party o the 3rd Canadian Division in France played a fine program to two full houses in the evening at the Savoy Theatre. It gave the auditors alittle touch of the military life in France and the excellence of the program afforded the reason why the soldiers in France thought nothing of walking from five to ten miles in order to see a good show. Lieut â€"Gen. Sir Arthur Currie was not present as advertised, but in view of so many bigh class attractions he was not greatly missed. A few well known miliâ€" tary officers were present, notably, Brig. Gen. Draper, Lieut. Col. Willard Malone Lieut. Col. G. F. McFarland, Lieut. Col Rorke and Major Jucksh. Community dancing on the street paveâ€" ment on 1l0th street was indulged in by many but was not the. success planned for it. In the afternoon came the grand parâ€" ade of the march of returned officers and men and the procession of floats, mainly motor, and belonging to business firms of the town. _ Some of these were very atâ€" tractive and were turned out only after much labor and forethought. Then came the inspection of returned men by Brig.â€"Gen. Draper and the presâ€" entation of medals to six returned soldâ€" iers. The immense crowd were enterâ€" rained with thrilling aeroplane stunts and acrobatic work on ladders and trapâ€" eze bars, also good exhibitions of baseâ€" ball and football by North Grey teams.
