There passed away on Friday last other of the few remaining pioneers East Wawanosh, in the person of eorge Dalgarno, after a short illness. he deceased was born in 1827 in the rish of old Deer, Aberdeen, Scotland, d came to Canada in 1855, being five eeks and three days on the water. He orked for four years in the County of ellington and came to East Wawanosh 1859, where he resided until he re - red from farming, moving to Belgrave 1899. In 1861 he married Grace ameron, of Puslinch Township, who edeceased him in 1908, To the mar - age there were six children, viz:— hristina, who died in 1883; James, died 1895; Mrs. J. T. Scott, died in 1900; rs Jas. Clark, of Guelph; Mrs. Geo. Robertson, Wingham; Mrs. Jas. A. cott, East Wawanosh, at whose home eceased passed away. Mr. Dalgarno as a wonderful man in many ways. e was a mart of sterling character, as esteemed by a very large circle of iends and his many acts of kindness nd words of advice will not soon be rgotten. He was a life-long member f the Presbyterian Church, and was onnected with both Belgrave and Cal - in Churchs during his residence in elgrave and East Wawanosh. He was • great reader and had a wondeeful emory. When in his 80th year, Mr. algarno recited the shorter catechism rom memory, both in the natural way nd backwards, asking the questions imself and then give the correct nswers. For this wonderful accom- lishment for a man of his age, the resbyterian General Assembly gave im a beautiful certificate. in politics Ir. Dalearno was a staunch Liberal nd had been a reader of the Toronto lobe and Wingham Times for many ears and up to within a few days prior o his death took a deep interest in ublic affairs. The writer can well re - ember first taking Mr. Dalgarno's ubscription for his favorite paperg ome twenty-two years ago and wo ere always pleased to see him when eking his regular visits to the Tures ffice. The funeral took place on Mon- ey afternoon to Wingham cemetery. he services were conducted by Rev. r. Boyle, of Belgrave and the pall earers were Messrs. John T. Scott, Jas. A. Scott, Geo. Clark, Adam Rob- rtson, John Stewart and Geo. T. Rob- ertson. • Citizens' Band Concert. The Citizens' Band concert on Thurs- day evening last was poorly attended, in spite of the fact that a good pro- gramme was provided. The hall was less than half full, but the audience was a very appreciative one. The band opened with one of Hume's Marches followed by the Valse from the "Pink Lady". The band continues to show marked improvement under Mr. Hink- ley's leadership; and no doubt the se- lection of a better class of music than has hitherto been used, has something to do with this advance. Such select- ions as Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance" are grateful to play and delightful to listen to. Miss Eva Patterson, Miss Jean Vannorman, Mr. Weir Elliott, Mr. Peter Wilson and Mr. F. Hinkley snng songs with much acceptance, while Mr. Wilson contributed two violin selections of Scotch airs. Mr. Hinkley's cornet solo was a nice piece of playing, and for an encore the band played with beauti- ful tone and good expression the beauti- ful hymn tune "Abide with Me." Mrs, Hanna played the accompaniments ac- ceptably. Altogether the concert and the band deserved a larger crowd than that which attended. Ontario Ladies' Quartette. The Ontario Ladies' Quartette, com- posed of Miss Pearl O'Neil, entertainer; Miss Kathleen Wallis, violinist; Miss Florence MacNeil, soprano and Miss Dorothy Atkey, pianist, will give an en- tertainment in the Wingham opera house on Wednesday evening, March 4th. These young ladies are high-class entertainers an will render an excellent program. issMiss 'O'Neil has appeared before a Wingham audience several times and has always pleased. The ad- mission is 25 cents with reserved seats at 35 cents. Plan of hall is now open at McKibbon's drug store. Grocery Business Sold. Mr. Wm. Bone has this week sold his grocery businese to Mr. R. S. McGee. The store will Je closed next Monday for stock -taking and Mr. McGee will take possession on Tuesday.

The groom was attended by his nephew, Mr. Roy Bennington, of Cleveland.

Miss Andrews, a graduate of the Conservatory of Music of the Baldwin University, an intimate friend of the bride, furnished beautiZul music during the evening.
