Death ()tisane Carling, Esq.
He sleeps the eternal sleep. The
good-bye words have been said to a
friend, brother and citizen. Death re-
moves a loving father a kind husband,
whose presence always helped to allevn
ate the many adversaries of life. Such
may he truly, said of the demise of the
ate Isaac Carling, who passed quietly
way at the family residence on Thurs
ay afternoon at 3 o'clock. Deceased
as a man of sterling qualities num
ering his friends as many and as he
ay peacefully resting in the silent
eath chamber, friends clustered around
we -struck to take a last look, their
thoughts going back as they did so
ver an acquaintance, during which
not one of them could recall an ungen-
rous action or an unkind word. He
as an upright and honorable man in
Jusiness, commanding by his integrity
he confidence of all whom he came in
ontact; as the employer of labor, ever
indful of the rights, the feelings and
he comfort of those whom he employed,
nd beloved, in return by all who work -
d under him. But one can Raney
ourn that death has released him
rom the suffering he endured, after it
ecame certaiu that he could not again
lay a useful part in life's battlefield,
t is better to rejoice that he did his
ork well when he was in possession
f manly health and vigor. His intim-
osed coudition has been of many years
uration, most of which time he has
ecu entirely helpless. The last few
onths of his life was fraught with
any sudden and severe changes, but
e last week, from his failing strength
was clearly manifest that a erisis
as approaching and that the end
ould not be long forthcoming. Born
t Hyde Park in the year 1825, he
orked for several years on the farm
ith his parents, but like all other boys
change to his mind had suggested
self and he started as an apprentice
learn the art of tanning in London
d it was here he displayed those busi-
ss qualities which were afterwards
strumental in the success of his un-
rtakings. His next move was to
ild a tannery in London and start in
siness for himself. With unlimited
ccess he continued the business un -
receiving a good offer when he sold
t and moved to Exeter. Seeing that
ospects for a tannery were, good here
again built and continued the busi-
ss for many years, after which he
unched out in the merchantile busi-
ss, and by the able assistance of his
ns, carried it to a successful issue.
t, getting up in years and his health
sI failing, the two sans, Thos. B. and
illiam purchased the property and
e good will and he retired. Deceased
s Reeve of the township of Stephen
• many years and was the founder
d first Reeve of Exeter, In 1868 he
s elected to represent this riding in
Legislative Assembly in the days

s always a stattnch friend of the

On Thursday last whtle Mr, Robert
Patterson, bridge builder, of McGilli-
vray, was proceeding homeward from
Hay swamp with a load of cedar, cm
reaching here, he accidently fell from
the load, and in the fall injured the
spine of his beak. He was removed to
the Commercial House and medical aid
was summoned, but it was not till Mon-
day he was able to continue his journey
home.
Attend. the Fairs,
The farmer from the very nature of
his occupation loses many of the oppor-
tunities for observation that are en-
joyed by men of most other callings.
His immediate surroundings occupy
most of his time aud attention and his
days for recreation and mingling with
his fellowmen are few and far between.
He should, therefore, when opportuni-
ty offers for comparisou of his own
labor with that of others in the same
busiuess, take advantage of it. The
fairs offer au object lesson wortby of
his study. He finds at them an assem-
blage of the best products of his fellow
laborers, He can there judge by com-
parison as to his own status in his
business. If he finds that others are
outdoing him he is stimulated to great-
er effort. He is led to inquire how
certain results are attained; to seek
information that cannot fail to be of
advantage to him when he returns to
his round of toil. His wife, who should
accompany him, also finds stronger
competition in her line of duties and
learns secrets valuable to her in the
kitchen, dairy and parlor. Time wen
at the fair will be well spent, be it one
day or more, The Ideas will be bright-
ened up by contact with others. The
spirit of emulation'will, be aroused,
and you will go home feeling that
what others can accomplish is also
within your powers. What you see at
the fairs will give you new zest for
yonr calling, and you will go back to
your daily routine of labor with a
cheerfulness and determination not
sordidly reckoned. Go to the exhibi-
tion with note books and pencils and
jot down the items of info ;Ration that
you think ',mill prove of es;iecial value
to you. Exhibitors are as a rule very
willinebto discuss methods by which
they have achieved suceess, and the
items you eau thus glean will recom-
pence you twice over for time and ex-
pense, to say nothing of the enjoyment
you will gain for your outing. Yes.
go to the fair by all means, even if
something must be left undone at home
which you feel ought to be done. Let
the grarter advantage have preeedence
over the lesser.

covered, when they were put nut. The

'damaged, InSuraace, $400.
SIR:—There are many persons in the
township of Stephen owning dogs, but
are not assessed for them. I frequent-
ly have accession to pass along the
tosveline of Hay and Stephen and have
noticed at a certain house. west of the
mill, in a place called Sodom, four or
five dogs and on enquiry found they
all belonged to one man, The dogs
owned by this man showed a net rev-
enue to the township of $7, but on en-
quiring I Found they were not assessed
at all. Now the question arises how did
the Assessor miss the& These dogs
I should consider worthless for any
farmer's use, but are quite experts at
getting at and eating the school child.-
ren's dioners, and worrying sheep. A
great many times they have been
caught injuring sheep and claims have
been demanded for injuries done sheep,
but without avail. I think it is a very
unjust thing that any person should be
allowed to harbour dogs whose known
proclivities are sheep killing, especially
when the owner of said dogs could not
be cornpelled to pay for the damage
they do. Any night they might do
some farmers in the vicinity over $100
damage, without any reimbursement

Foot Ball.
Centralia, Sept. 8rd 1895
Special to the Advocate.
In last week's issue of the Times we
read a lot of fiction written by the
Exeter F. B. Club to Centralia F. B. C
and I will endeavor to say a few words
regarding it. Not wishing to keep up
a weekly "chewing match" I will be
brief and will end by writing this item.
In the first place they say we played
Francestown club in our first match,
Well if we did where on earth does the
Exeter club originate, as there are only
two players from Francestown that
played them and are out of it now
Then they say they won the second
match at Devon. Well I will leave
that to your own Referee, Mr. Bissett,
and he will soon tell you it was a tie.
They also claim the match played in
Exeter a tie. Well, Exeter people as
well as everyone elseknows better than
that, They know we won it fair and
square -2 to 1—and without sarcasm
this cannot possibly be contradicted.
Why, your own men published it in the
paper a victory for us. So you see the
score in the 4 matches was Centralia 8
goals, Exeter 2 goals, which show
Quito plainly that Exeter club is not in
it playing ball with us. It also shows
which writer is making false state-
ments. Exeter Club can't play foot-
ball or any other kind of ball. They
cannot show a record of games won.
(Would'nt ye like too.) They also claim
if we could play with our feet as well
as our tongues we would get along
better. Well it is one consolation to
know we are by far too many for Ex-
eter with our feet and with regards to
tongues the surrounding country
knows what kind you have, 'They
are a kind of adjustable ones.
You also compared the writer of the
preceeding item to a bumbalogist,
Well I suppose you want me to give
you a comparison which is almost im-
possible for MO to do as the ADVOCATE
would be ashamed to publish the name
of the object I would compare your
with. With those few remarks I will
finish my foot -ball correspondence. Al-
so stating we are anxi3usly awaiting
your deposit of $25 a Bide between Ex-
eter and Centralia F. B. Clubs.
CENTRALIA, F. B. C
Hensel]: Miss Hawkshaw is spend-
ing a few days with her sister, Mrs.
Fred McDonell, this week.She returns
to Detriot on Saturday.
Seaforth: Although the straw of
most grain has suffered for lack of rain
and is accordingly short, is is not so
with peas, and some idea may be had
of the phenomenal growth in places,
from two vines which were milled on
one of Mr. T. Case's farm. One of these
vines measured 9 feet two inches, and
the other 8 feet 3 inches.
Kippen: Rev. 8. Acheson and Mr. T.
Mellis, while returning from Hillsgreen,
last Tuesday evenibg, had a very un-
pleasant experience. The horse be-
came frightened at a boy wearing a
white coat and lying on the roadside,
causing it to back into the ditch. By
cool headedness ea the part of the driv-
er the horse was brought to a stand-
still. It had, turned completely around
in the shafts, The harness was brokea
considerably, but tater getting all frag-
ments gathered tip and fastened to-
gether they got home in safety, feeling
thankiul it was not worse.
West Wawatoslu A sad event was
the sudden death, early en Monday
morning last of Mr, Alexander Mitchell,
who was one of the oldest pioneers of
West Wawanosh. Deceased, who was
in the 771h year of his age, had been
attending on his aged wife, who had
been lyingi at the point of death for
Some weeks, but during the previous
Mw days had somewhat recovered.
About one o'clock Monday morning he
rose from his bed, Upstairs and in at-
tempting 10 come down stairs to see
her, by some means fell and sustained
severe injuries from the effects of which
he succumbed almost immediately.
The deceased was a native of the coma -
try of Armagh, Ireland, and wag born
On the 11th of may, 1819.

ord breakiirg. Fletcher and Carr, of:
this place, threshed for John Copeland,
of Woodhatn, the otherday, 134 bushels
of wheat in an bone a feat that is coa-
sidered extraordinary.
St. Marys: The other day Dr, W.
Gibb, Waier Street, took frotn his vines
a tomatoe that we think will be hard
to beet for size and weight; It was ot
the Ponderoso variety, and weighed
2 lbs and 1 oz. It furuished a meal for
6 of a family. Three others aggregat-
ed 3 lb 5 oz. r. Gibb is somewhat 4!
an authority on tomatoes and a success-
ful grower. A couple of seasone ago he
picked 35 bushels off 14 vines.
St. Marys: John Moran the 'party
claarged with stealing a horse from S.
letrkby, reference to which was made
last week, was brought to St. Marys
on Thursday, and the casewas heard by
Mayor Moscrip, and Magistrate Cham-
ber. Atter an extended hearing the
charge of stealing the horse was dis-
missed on the ground that the sale df
