The 24th of May was celebrated in Bluevale by a gathering at the ceme- texy for the purpose of making improve- ments. The hearty response to their invitation by the good men and women of Bluevale and surrounding country was very gratifying to the members .of the Women's Institute and the Ceme- tery Trustees, under whose auspices the work is being done. The large number who attended made decided improve- ment in the appearance of the ceme- tery during the afternoon and the work is to be completed immediately by the' use of the funds which the Wom• en's Institute has on hand for that purpose. As it was a beautiful after- noon those present enjoyed a very plea- sant social outing apart from the en- couraging progress that was made with the cemetery improvements. The fine weather on the holiday was taken advantage of by many for various kinds of outings. Fishing was a favor- ite recreation and the school children held a picnic at the river. Among the visitors were: —Mrs. Sanderson, Miss T. Sanderson, Mr. and Mrs. R. Sander- son, Mr. and Mrs. R. Hutchinson, Mr.' E• Lester and Master Fred Griffith, of Toronto, and Miss Luella Shaw of ,For- dyce. Mrs. R.

James Stewart, the subject of this sketch was called to his reward on May 9th, 1915. He was born in Campbelton, Argyleshire, Scotland, on February 14th, 1837, He immigrated to Canada when a boy to the township of Mis. souria, then later moved west to what was called the Queen's Bush and settled on lot.3, con. 2, in the township of Turnberry, where he hewed out his fine house. He was one of the first ettlers in that part. When one( year there, he sent for the rest of his family who have all predeceased him. In the year 1864 he married Elizabeth Harris, his now bereft partner, and unto them were born seven children, George, de- ceased; Alexander, of Harriston; James G., of Gorrie; William D.,' of Fordwich; Mrs. James. Brown, Harriston; Misses Mary and Aggie, at home. In politics he was a Liberal, in religion a Presby- terian, and was one of the first to help build the first church in Wroueter, where he and his faithful wife were at the opening of the new church. ' He was far from being narrow minded or bigoted, always keeping a wa%ni heart to other denominations, yet he was al- ways true and loyally attached to his own church. He was a man of peace and cheerful disposition, valued the Holy Bible as the wbrd of God, and lived as he also died in the hope of the Gospel of Christ. He was a •.loving husband, a kind father, and his home was always open to any wayfarer who had no where else to go. His loving wife and family have the sincere sym- pathy of a very.large circle of friends. MORRIS Austin Cranston, who left Walkerton with first contingent 'last Fall, was wounded at.

Early Monday morning of last Week Death claimed one of the very old resi. dents of the village in the person of Mrs. Murray, more familiarly known as the mother of Mrs. D. Geddes. She had reached the good old age of 80 year, and had been ailing throughout' the winter and spring, the end coming very quietly and not at all unexpected. Mrs. Murray was a native of Ulliple, Ross - shire, Scotland, coming to this country about fifty years ago with her first husband, Mr. Duncan Cameron, who was the first tailor to do business in Lucknow. A number of years after the death of Mr. Cameron, she was married to the late Allan Murray., Of a deeply religious nature and kindly disposition, few'women had a greater number of warm friends than the late Mrs. Murray in the years of her active life. She was especially esteemed as a friend by the Gaelic -speaking Scotch, who, in the' early days, gathered at Lucknow to attend Sacrament services, and who always found at her house a home. One son and two ,aughters sur- vive: Alexander Cameron, Toronto; Mrs. D. Geddes, of Lucknow; and Mrs. Pincombe, of Detroit. LIVE STOOK 11LXRt,ETS Toronto, May 24th -The holiday spirit was not permitted to interfere with business at the .yards this morning. The offering in cattle numbered 2,500 and there was plenty of scope for the buyers. After the experience of last Monday it was expected that the run would be light, but the drovers again took the risk. As events turned out they scored, for atter a siow'start trade picked up and before noon when the market closed for the day they were comparatively few left.overs. There was just a suspicion that quotations were a trifle firmer than at the close of last week, but quality might have been responsible for this. Only a trifling trade was done in milkers and Springers, but prices were unchanged. Stockers and feeders also ' were slow but the trade is likely to improve later in the week. Quotations for Spring lambs tumbled down anything from $1.00 to $2.00 and for this a poorer quality was not solely to blame. Hogs. a normal run, firmed 10 cents the general quotation for lots weighed off car being $9.72. The receipts for the morning Were 135 curs, with 2,045 cattle, 114 calves, 690 hogs, 134 sheep and lambs, and 608 horses. Arrived Saturday: 56 cars, with 370 cattle. 13 calves, 614 hogs, 31 sheep and lambs, and 570 horses.
