O’BRIEN On Monday morning, the li6th in stant, after an illness of several mo.nths, there passed away in Bru-ce- field, one who is well known in Exe ter, the late James J. O’Brien. The late Mr, O’Brien was in his eightieth year, having been born on Christmas Day 1857, at Sexsmith, about 31 miles from Exeter, where his parents owned a small farm. His father was a member in his early life of the famous Irish Constabulary of Lein ster. When the Methodists opened Sexsmith as a preaching appointment his mother was the only member of the Methodist church there. From the time he was 10 years old he had to contribute to the upkeep' of the home. In later years he went to the lumberwoods in Michigan, in the win-- ter time and to the prairies in Da kota in the summers. When the C. P R. was building along the north shore of Lake Superior he was there where he had a profitable experience but always caring for his parents. Afterwards he followed the life of a framer with the late James Johnston of Hensall for some. time. On the second concession of Hay he settled down to farming making a -fine suc cess of it. His first wife, Miss Eliza beth Cann and he were faithful at tendants at Sexsmith church. After her death in 1912 he sold his farm and lived with his brother-in-law, Samuel Cann. A few years later he married Miss Susannah Keddy and lived with his brother-in-law Walter, until they moved to Exeter in 192-1. In 1933 Mrs. O’Brien died and in 1935 he moved to Br-ucefield and married Mrs. David Rouatt. While in Exeter they were members of the Main Street United church. On Wed nesday afternoon his remains were interred in the family plot in Exeter cemtery. The floral offerings were beautiful. Many of his old friends at tended the -funeral. SEAFORTH EX-MAYOR TAKEN BY DEATH MARITIME TRIP The editor of the Times-Advocate accompanied by Mrs. Southcott and Florence returned Monday evening after attending the 18th annual con vention of the Canadian. Weekly Newspaper Association which was held Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week at the Lord Nelson Hotel, Halifax, N. S. In addition to the convention an excellent program of entertainment was provided for the visitors. A trip to the inaritipies in the holiday season is a delightful affair and the historical interest attached to the early scenes in Canada's devel opment adds greatly to the enjoyment of the trip. During the few days away one could only touch the fringe Of some of the more outstanding points of interest. On Sunday afternoon we boarded one of the Canada Steamship boats "The Kingston” at Toronto bound for Montreal. On board were about fifty members of the press party and this meant the renewing ' of en. The lake was calm as we sailed for Rochester, the first stop. Plenty of entertainment was provided -for the passengers on board, At mid night all was quiet and at 5.30 Mon day morning Kingston was reached and the boat docked for a short call. Drowsy sleepers arose from their berths to get a glimpse of this his toric city and especially did we hear enquiries for the whereabouts of. the penitentiary. The quiet early morning was broken heavy snoring of many of more interested in sleep their surroundings. A heavy fog .hung over the city and visability was poor but as the sun came u-p the fog lifted and then as we journeyed through the Thousand Islands a beauty of nature was revealed that must be seen to -be appreciated. The St. Lawrence valley narrows quickly where the river .holds these majes tic islands. Actually 1693 islands strung along for fifty miles from Lake Ontario to Brockville make a fairy land of ever changing scenes. These islands are dotted with sum mer cottages from the small unpre tentious tents to the most elaborate and costly mansions. At Prescott we changed Jioats and boarded "The Ra-pids Prince’’ a boat specially designed to make the trip through the rapids. Again the river narrows to a width of one mile and a half. Sometimes it opens into quiet broad lakes and at other places narrows as the rapids are approached. The river races over rocks and white spray leaps into the air and the swiftest known water navigable by steam ships sweeps on its ’way. In all there are eight series of rapids growing more violent and picturesque until Montreal is reached. The Long Sault rapids extend for about nine miles and the voyager -ets a real thrill confident only in the fact that , the pilot and the boat have been making these trips regularly, About seven o’clock in the ing the boat docked at Lachine and motor buses conveyed the party a distance of sixteen miles to Montreal of the by the the men than in ven- SCHOOL OF COMMERCE Clinton, Ontario FALL TERM—SEPTEMBER 7th, 1937 Courses: Stenographic, Commercial, Secretarial Special and Correspondence Courses arranged.

An in creased appropriation for the con struction of permanent roads in the county is responsible. The August payroll is expected to be about the same and the increased circulation of money from this source is play ing its part ip the improved econo mic conditions prevalent, HURON MAN HURT IN gravel slide The collapse of an overhanging bank of a gravel pit near Seaforth, where a Huron County rock crusher is in operation, with one man, Wm.
