It has been some time since Exeter has sustained the loss it experiences to -day. He was one of her sons; his life was spent here, and°Exeter was proud of him in Iife and revers his memory. We have done him our last tiny tribute, we have Iaid him away in the secret resting place, his head slumbers on the breast of our universal mother, we shall see him no, more, but the recollection of an honorable life, the remembrance of a generous man, true to his friends and just to his enemies—had he any—still remains, and will live on till the in- animate clay crumbles to nothingness, ever green on the memory of all with whom he came in contact. Fifty-nine years ago the parents of the late James Oke loft the Old Land, with its recollections, some of happiness some the reverse, and sailed for Canada. Like thousands of others, the exigen- ciesof circumstances, the glowing descriptions of rapid fortunes and the flowery path to ease and affluence that the new country afforded, led them to leavensh Bei o tie, probably among the most picturesque and fertile shires in England. Fifty years has wrought much change in Canada and probably nowhere in the Doninion has vast tracts of forest and 'howling wilderness' been more completely replaced'by the civil- izing influences than Western Ontario, and to -day the innumerable happy homes that we see on every side, the splendid farms and the accumulated wealth are the results of the hardship, the toil and the indefatigable lab it of these pioneer times. As time passed on children were born to cheer their primitive home and gladden many lonesome, hours. Of the entire family there survives the widowed mother, 75 years of age; Mrs. G. Kernick, Banks Fa lls, Mukoka; Mrs. Jas. Westcott, Mrs. John Frayne, Mrs A. Sheere and Mrs. William Southcott. The late. James Oke was born August 13th, 1840. As he grew to manhood his tastes for the calling of his father grow strong and we See him as a tiller of the soil until 1875. Even in those days when cattle raising and buying had not reached the position it occupies tolday, we find him iii connection with his ordinary farm labor dealing in live stock. This earlypredilection he has never p dilectionwholly reliequishecl, and we never recollect a time since when he has not to a greater or less extent been interested in cattle, No Marl of our acquaintance would go further to see good cattle, and whose judgment was sounder on such matters thanhis.It is said too by those who can remember 25 and 28 years ago that in all his tralisactions and business speculations the same principle that actuated his 'whole life obtained, that "his word was his bond" and when James Oke passed his word nothing lbttt stir impassable obstacle would pre- SDAY, SEPTEMBER 181 1890.

Those who loved him well have carried him to his resting place and he sleeps the eternal sleep. As we looked down up. on his still, cold face for the last time from which the wonted smile had scarce been chased many of the remin• iscences of his life thrust themselves upon us, Some one has said that in the open hands of death we find. only what they gave away. Let us believe rather, that each act of goodness, each fresh conception and fulfil hent of the Socialistic aphorism) "the greatest good to the greatest number," each pure thought; each brave word, never dies, but preduces its ripple upon the great ocean of life limited only by the eter- nities. He has left behind him the souvenir of a useful life, his heart was big with charity and ' many are those whom quietly and unostentatiously he helped when help was needed. The world has been the better of his living and hismemory will be. sacred among those who teach and try in ever so little a way to live up to the doctrine of man's universal brotherhood. The journalistic function isvaried and while to day we indite the happy occasi,en :of some: joyous wedding event and to -morrow the detail and environ- ment of some deathbed scene, it seldom occurslliat we are called upon to do a sadderreetask than the writing of the memoir of the late Mr. James Oke.

L Billings, of this place; and Mrs. J. T Stewart, of Brockville. In 1575 h purchased the Central Hotel and a once assumed the responsibilities o "Mine Host." Probably at no time ii his life did he' prove the immediat success as then. The Hotel, under hi management,and control, soon won it way to popularity and in his catering t the general public and genial courtes he soon won for himself a reputation -few men• -have w<lio are`serva�•its- of the' public. His cheery greeting, his warm hearty handshake in which there lack- ed none of the alloy of deceit was an expected incident to the itinerant bag- man, and the information he had stored up on agricultural matters soon drew around him a wide circle of the sturdy yeomanry anxious to discuss their projects and eager for the advice he knew how to give. It was then, prob- ably, more that at any other period of his life that the opportunities for the exercising of those charitable principles he loved, occurred most frequently, and to our certain knowledge many were the warming meals and cosy fires he provided to the destitute and the poor. These will bless his memory. He controlled the Central Hotel until January 1st, 1889, when he sold it to hit sort in-law. Mr. W. T. Acheson, since which time he has returned to his former occupation—farming and cattle buying. He had purdhased the Mc - Phillip farm 1} miles west of Centralia, and, together with his son, was work-' ing it, and raising cattle and pressing hay. He combined with his many other duties that of Auctioneer, and in this capacity he' became, as time passed on, a decided success. His yearly sales gradually assuming enormous proper. tions, and many were superstitious enough to believe that his name at the bottom of the bill was a mascot. On January 1st, 1890, heentered our Mun- icipal Council and although his tenure of office WAS but short there is no room for doubt but that his re-election was assured, and that, had life been spared his municipal career would have been a long one. As was characteristic of the man his presence there was being felt and many motions of a beneficial kind are already recorded in that Board to his credit. In the Societies he was recognized as a desirable mem- ber, and was associated with Lebanon Forest Lodge No. 133, A. F, & A. NI., G. R. C., for seven years; he was also a member for many years of Exeter Lodge No. 63, I. 0. 0. F.; and was, too, a member of Court Exeter No. 128, I.' 0.3'', We have endeavored in these lines to gather up a few of the most prominent threads of a useful life and hope that the same ambitions that actuated him in the performance of hi duties, the same zeal ho displayed in the furthering of the eatise of our village may effect others azld' the example of his life 'bear its fruits far good. In the commencement of this article we said his death was sudden. He retired to bed on Friday night, and beyond some little uneasiness produced by an old dyspeptic trouble was in his usual health. About 1 p, in. he awoke his wife in apparent efforts to get breath, or as she expresses it "was choking," and after one or two painful efforts and d few minutes struggle all was over, death had claimed another victim, Medical aid vas Silminoned immediately but only to 'pronounce ltfeeltinet from rupture of a Cerebral artery.

Seats for 20 were reserved, and the mourners and members of the two societies were seated in silent order by the careful arrangement of Mr. John Spackman, churchwarden, assisted by Messrs. IC, D. Hurdou and Daniel Davis. The full choir rendered the funeral music effectually. The Rev, S. F.
