Death of Mrs. Detonate One after another the pioneer resi- dents of aur village are being called from their labors on earth, and leaving only the lustre of useful lives for the emulation and guidance of those who follow them. This. week it becomes our duty to record the demise of Mrs. Ann Heaman, relict of the late Wil- liam Heaman, who passed away on Sunday last at the great age of 87 years. A native of Devonshire, Eng- land, the deceased came to America with her husband about fifty-seven years ago and settled in New York State. Three years Iater they came to Canada, settling on the 3rd concession of Stephen, where theyresided togeth- er until about 39 years ago when Mr. Heaman died. For many years Mrs. Heaman continued to reside on the homestead but in the year 1885 moved to Exeter, and has since resided here making her home for many years on Carling street and for tbe past year. with her son, George. Mrs. Heaman enjoyed her usual health until about two months ago when she was afflicted with an acute attack of paralysis from which she never recovered, gradually sinking until death claimed her. Mrs. Heaman was of gentle and amiable disposition, a.. kind mother and true friend. She was a constant and con- sistent member of the James Street Methodist church for many years. The surviving members of the family. are three sons -George of town, Tbos. of Brantford and Robert of Montana. Her remains were laid to rest in the Exeter Cemetery Tuesday.

This was responde to by a. number of shareholders, a questions being answered freely an fully by Mr. Cobbledick and subset bated by Mr. Ratz. After Mr. Coble dick resumed his seat, Me, Made next called upon 17, Ratz, M.P., wh is alsa a Director. One of the que tions asked Mr.Ratz was how the corn pany got such heavy liabilities. Thi was.aiswered by going into the earl history of the Company. The Share holders were held spellbound for time, listening to the various ways i which the money of the -Company w• squandered, much of it being left i Durban) and vicinity. The next Clues tion asked was why thedirectors wen away from rOt n Durh y am to seek tor raw a material, and was: ably answered by Director Cobbledick who referred to the fact that during the three years the mill had been in operation Super- intendent Farr had never given a re- port of anything connected with the plant that was not found to be correct; therefore, why should we doubt the fact when he told us that the material at our command would not last more than two years after the present sea- son, in quantity sufficient to pay divi- dends. None of the Directors ever doubted the fact of there being large quantities of marl at or near Durban), but the main question at issue was, whether it could be manufactured at a profit above expenses, well knowing, it was little advantage to work the factory if profits could not he made for stockholders, who are not inter- ested in Durham bait in tbe National Portland Cement Co., as very little of the stock of the Company is held in Durham. It is. easily seen by reading the articles recently published in the papers of that village that the writers of those articles axe more interested in Durham than in the profits of the Na- tional Portland Cemeut Co., tbat should come to the shareholders, The directors present said that none of them said that the mill would or should be moved, as long as marl could he found sufficient to pay dividends. The Directors in conclusion invited every one present to attend the annual meet- ing in Toronto, for anything that was said at this meeting would be repeated there. Mr. W. J. Carling who came to the meeting decidedly biased to- wards the present directors from re- cent articles he had read in Durham papersspoke at some length and show- ed that he had completely changed bis mind after hearing the way in which Messrs, Cobbledick and Ratz defended themselves and answered the various questions asked by the shareholders and finally moved that in his opinion it would be to the interest of the share - on of s- 11 d 0- e- 0 s- s y a n as n holdersto re-elect the old Directorsfor the ensuing year. This was seconded and ably supported by Mr. S. M. San- ders who showed that the present di- rectorate who a year ago were forced to piedgetheir personal guarantee to the extent of $30,000, were now able to show thatinsti-ad of a liabilityof $166,893 at the beginning.of 1900, here is at this date a balance to the credit of the Company of $5,875.77, The meeting was, brought to a'elose by .a motion made by W. D. Sanders and seconded by A. E. Hod.gert that; the - thanks of this /fleeting be tendered to the directors present for the able man- ner in which they have handled the affairs: of the Company during the past year.
