The late Mr McMillan was (never married. Though ailing for years, and sitting in his chair the day he died, the 9nd came suddenly to Donald McGilli. Tray who passed away on Monday last. Heart trouble is given as the cause. He was in his 82nd year, having been born in Mull, Argyle- shire, Scotland, in August of 1843. The death took place in Duluth, Minnesota, on Saturday, Jan. 3rd. 1925, of Mr Norman McMillan. aged 77 years'. Deceased for many years has been a resident of the States. where he was a successful contractor, retiring trom active work five years ago. Mr McMillan was a son of the late Angus and Florence McMillan ot Glenelg. and of the family that were horn to them, only one son Neil sur- vives and who accompanied the body home. Deceased members of the family are John A. McMillan (council- lor in Glenelg for many years,) Sam dy and Michael.

They settled in Vaughan and were there for three years. before coming to Gleuelg where they settled on the well known farm on Con 3, N.D.R.. where he lived continuously until his death. About 37 years ago he married Miss Janet McNab, daughter of the late Ewen McNab, who with one son James on the farm and two daughters Annie, Mrs Gomm ot Wilkie, Sask.. and Christtma survive him. The lat. ter is at present a patient in a Toron- to Hospital and will be unable to be present at the sad functions.

John and Peter, all accessed. and a half brother Malcolm, also de. ceased. A sister Mrs Jss Webber of town, died year before last. Deceased was a Presbyterian. a Liberal and a most likable mum and good citizen in every way. He will be sincerely mourned and his memory will long be green to those who knew him at his best.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1925 With which is incorporated the Holstein lend" Sunday morning last to a good con. grmmion in Presbyterian church. Pastor Smith gave an exposition of tho hasis of Union, which lacked nothing in vigor or clarity, yet was an unbiased presentation of the doc- ument, which is at present very much in the limelight. It was hr: said, at the suggestion of the Sea- sion that he was. somewhat unwilling- ly presenting the case. in 1899 the Home Mission Com- mittee of the Presbyterian church sent a request to the General Assem- bly to appoint a committee to confer with other evangelical churches with a view to prevent overlapping in the Mission Fields. This was done and an agreement come to that where a minister was in charge tor one year, no other ministers should enter the leld. in 1902 and 1903 Committees were appointed to confer with Metho- dist and Congregational churches who had expressed a desire for closer and working cooperation. Their mission, We regret was fruit- less. as Mr McKiilop could hold out no prospects for more frequent serv- ice. When running two passenger trains each way daily on this branch he stated, the C. P. R. was losing $18,000 a year, while the annual loss now with one train is $10,000. The deputatlons urged getting an electric car for this line. but Mr McKiilop contended this was too expensive for the business in sight. An electric car would cost $70,000 and with a power station at Walkerton which would then necessarily have to be built it would boost the initial cost to $100,000. Winter blizzards would also be more difficult to contend with in keeping lines open, than at pres- ent, so as far as C. P R. service is concerned. it is evident we shall Just have to stand pat. Five years were spent by these committees in discussion of a basis of union. and very thorough considera- tion was given to the question. In 1910 the Gen. Assembly sent the tind.
