One of the most difficult tasks in a newspaper office is in getting the facts relative to births, marriages and deaths in the eommunity. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies the editor is familiar with every detail of the life of the deceased and his when as a fact he sereptimes knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from other sotirces, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with marriages or other more or less import- ant happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig up the particulars or satisfy himself and the readers with a meagre and in- aceurate aceount. The average editor of a ountry paper has many thing to do an to think about in a week, and the patrons C'Elti hardly overestimate how much he appreciates any efforts they make in fOrnishing him the facts fot news items.

Another of the old arid highly esteem- ed pioneers of the township of Kinloss has passed to his long home in the per- son of Mr. Robert Barbour who passed away at the Wingham Hospital on Tuesday, August 25th, at the ripe old age of 86 years. He was born in Threepwood, Ayrshire, Scotland in 1828 and emigranted to Canada with his mother when he was sixteen years of age. He learned the blacksmithing trade with Mr. Wm.

After serving his apprenticeship, he went to Woodstock, where he worked at his trade until 1855 and where he was married to Miss Elizabeth Jane Overholt, and moved with his young bride to Kinloss Township, and took up two hundred acres of rand, the country being all woods at the time, and where, like many others of the old pioneers, he hewed out a home for himself, where he lived the greater part of his lite. In 1908 he sold the homestead to his son-in-law, the late Edward Jackson, and moved to Sunnyside, and made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Copeland. Mr, Barbour was a member of the Methodist Church, and in politics a staunch Liberal. He was always honest and upright in his dealing and a good friend and neighbor. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn the loss of a kind father and affectionate husband. The children are:—Mrs. Cope- land, Lower Wingham; Mrs, Edward Jackson, of Teeswater; David, John and William, all of Hepworth.
